Private equity is one of the most coveted job opportunities on the buyside in the current market environment.  In this episode, we do a deep dive into a Leveraged Buyout (“LBO”) using one of the largest, craziest deals in history: the $30bn LBO of Caesars Palace by Apollo and TPG.  In part 1 of this 3-part series, we discuss the deal structure, explain the financing terms, and help you understand the motivations of the private equity titans at the helm of the world's biggest megafunds.  We will walk you through the LBO from start to finish using Financial Times writer Sujeet Indap's fantastic book, Caesars Palace Coup.
