For the following case: "HCA, Inc (A)"
Questions:
- Why is the senior management of HCA pursuing a LBO of the firm?
- How is HCA performing? What are the challenges for HCA going forward? Would any of these challenges be resolved by a LBO?
- Is the "best and final" offer fair to shareholders?
- Should shareholders be concerned with the LBO process? How is the process of LBO for HCA different from the one for Williams Carters' Co?
- Would you recommend the proposed deal be approved?
