PE firms do not traditionally buy companies to hold them. They buy well, restructure to profitability and sell. Unless NA include a buy back clause (which would be difficult as they’ll effectively be buying back at a much higher price if the PE firm’s business plan is effected) then who knows who will own the competition in the future. That’s a major concern.
I’m not convinced this is the answer and would suggest there is a lot to work through.
