And he'll end up having to sell more to pay back the other part.

See now that shit makes me crazy. Company assets leveraged to support a takeover, has nothing to do with viability of the company, and burdens workers, customers, everyone involved. The people who benefit? Maybe they feel pressure to repay, after they dividend and special contract fortunes out to themselves.
