Liquidity event – n : an event that enables
shareholders of a privately-held company to convert their illiquid ownership shares
into cash. Most typically, startups achieve liquidity for their shareholders through
one of three types of liquidity events: an initial public offering (IPO); a
sale of the company or its assets in an M&A transaction; or a leveraged
buyout or management buyout. (see also: exit and shareholder exit)
