Figure IV - Debt pr<strong>in</strong>cipal <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> years after <strong>the</strong> LBO<br />

This figure shows <strong>the</strong> amounts of outstand<strong>in</strong>g debt pr<strong>in</strong>cipal for <strong>the</strong> two extreme scenarios, as well as<br />

Scenario 4, which we use <strong>in</strong> our regressions. Scenario 8 follows assumptions that lead to lower excess cash<br />

flows that are entirely used to repay debt pr<strong>in</strong>cipal. Chart A shows <strong>the</strong> fraction of debt pr<strong>in</strong>cipal relative to <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>in</strong>itial amount for <strong>the</strong> 10 years after <strong>the</strong> LBO. Chart B shows <strong>the</strong> ratio of debt pr<strong>in</strong>cipal relative to <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g enterprise value.<br />
