| poomie83 | Could someone explain why this would be the case? |
| tankdan | Redundancies: LBO Buyout, PE equity.... |
| ericczhang | Debt and preferreds are claims on fixed payments, do they don't participate in gains on higher equity exits. But PE and management equities directly participate in gains upon exit because they sell their shares. |

| jorellana9 | this question is worded awfully vague. I think "level of exit value/enterprise value" would have been a lot more effective |
| khalifa92 | i still dont get the question |
| thevinu | dont preference shares get payouts upon lbos as well? |
I just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
