Going-Private Transaction
A going-private transaction is when a publicly traded company is converted into private ownership, typically through an acquisition of all outstanding shares by insiders, private-equity sponsors, or a consortium, and commonly followed by delisting from the exchange and deregistration of the company's securities.
Example: A publicly traded company announces a going-private transaction in which a private-equity sponsor would acquire all outstanding shares and delist from the exchange upon completion.
