The Going Private market is a subset of Corporate Governance that involves a publicly traded company delisting its shares from a stock exchange and becoming privately held. This process is typically initiated by the company's board of directors, who may believe that the company's stock is undervalued or that the costs of being a publicly traded company outweigh the benefits. Going private can also be used to protect the company from hostile takeovers or to facilitate a merger or acquisition.
