A study on the practice of leveraged buyouts in Malaysia / Norasheilla Zaini

Merger and acquisition had become a very common phenomenon in Malaysia since the economic crisis struck Malaysia in 1997. This strategy has become important parallel to the competitive edge faces by the Malaysian companies. However this is not the point to be discuss in this project paper.

A case study on Renong Berhad had been taken as an example to represent the leverage buyout activities in Malaysia. This case study is the closest example regarding the implementation of leverage buyout which can be seen during the buyout of Renong stock by UEM (M) using debt financing, which are principally the interpretation of leverage buyout.
