Management intends to keep its shares and to obtain senior debt equal to 80 percent of the funds necessary to consummate the buyout. The remaining 20 percent will come from junior subordinated debentures. Terms on the senior debt are 2 percent above the prime rate with principal reductions of 20 percent of the initial loan at the end of each of the next five years. The junior subordinated debentures bear a 13 percent interest rate and must be retired at the end of six years with a single balloon payment.

DFS Corporation is currently an all-equity firm, with assets with a market value of $ 163 million and 5 million shares outstanding. DFS is considering a leveraged recapitalization to boost its share price. The firm plans to raise a fixed amount of permanent debt (i.e., the outstanding principal will remain constant) and use the proceeds to repurchase shares.

Adding leverage will also create the possibility of future financial distress or agency costs; shown in the table here, are DFS's estimates for different levels of debt. a.
