L’elaborato analizza la struttura e gli effetti del Leveraged Buyout (LBO), operazione che unisce strumenti di finanza strutturata a una complessa disciplina giuridica, e che assume un ruolo centrale nelle acquisizioni di controllo nel contesto imprenditoriale contemporaneo. Dopo aver esaminato i principali elementi del LBO, come la selezione della società target, le modalità di finanziamento, la gestione operativa e le strategie di uscita, viene approfondito il quadro giuridico con particolare attenzione alla struttura contrattuale, alla governance post-acquisizione e alle responsabilità degli attori coinvolti. La parte applicativa è dedicata al caso SEAT Pagine Gialle S.p.A., scelto per la sua rilevanza nel panorama degli LBO, analizzato per ricostruire le dinamiche giuridiche e finanziarie dell’operazione e valutarne le ricadute sull’assetto societario e gestionale.

Abstract
The paper analyses the structure and effects of the Leveraged Buyout (LBO), a transaction that combines structured finance instruments with a complex legal framework, and which assumes a central role in takeovers in the contemporary business environment. After examining the main elements of the LBO, such as the selection of the target company, financing arrangements, operational management and exit strategies, the legal framework is explored in depth with a focus on the contractual structure, post-acquisition governance and the responsibilities of the actors involved. The application part is dedicated to the SEAT Pagine Gialle S.p.A. case, chosen for its relevance in the panorama of LBOs, analysed to reconstruct the legal and financial dynamics of the operation and assess its effects on the corporate and management structure.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
