Management Buyout

Reading the news of Allco Trading Halt this morning, this term (management buyout) catched my attention. Some guys in the stocks discussion board suggested that management buyout is a possible trading halt reason.

Allco did not really specify the reason for their halt, so I guess whatever it is (the reason), we will have to wait for the unnouncement on Wednesday.

Back to Management Buyout.

What is a Management Buyout? Wikipedia stated that A management buyout (MBO) is a form of acquisition where a company's existing managers acquire a large part or all of the company.
In many cases the company will already be a private company, but if it is public then the management will take it private.
