Abstract
We examine how private equity funds a↵ect corporate governance in Norwegian portfolio

companies. We find that general partners do not prioritize the board as long as everything

is going according to plan. We also find that when a company is taken private CEO

turnover during the first year after the buyout is a matter of control change. Key factors

of keeping the sitting CEO is thus highly based on information not directly tied to performance.

Moving past this period into the monitoring period we find that performance

becomes important. However, general partners do not seem to influence decisions about

the CEO directly from the board. Furthermore, our findings suggest that the board is

being neglected and interaction between general partners and management is conducted

in alternative ways.
