NOLs in an LBO and Transaction Structure

Hi - was working through a model that involved LBOs, and this made me think about the typical transaction structure of an LBO. I know that in regular M&A, transactions are structured as either a stock or asset purchase, which consequently has implications on whether the acquirer is allowed to use the NOLs in future years.

In LBOs, can sponsors structure the transaction as either a stock or an asset purchase like in typical M&A? Assuming that sponsors would want the NOLs to survive.

 

NOLs can survive a stock sale, but can have limited utilization if over 50% of the company is sold. Look at IRC section 351.
