France ready to go under the hammer
Article Abstract:
The French leveraged buyout market has been the second-largest in Europe for many years. This market can be split into the large ticket buyouts and the other deals. US houses such as Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst have mainly been extremely successful in France. The larger deals are now all formal auction processes managed largely by investment banks, so information about them is easy to obtain. There has been reasonable dealflow for middle market houses since early 1999, even though strategies have varied.
