Italian term

a debito (context)

Italian to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
Nella primavera del 2001 Fazio conosceva bene i problemi della banca in gran parte provocati dall'incombente situazione d'insolvenza dei due maggiori azionisti che avevano acquistato a debito le azioni.

Any help much appreciated !

using debt

I get the impression that the shareholders bought their shares using debt, probably with the liability being to the bank itself, so their insolvency is creating problems for the bank in that they are unable to collect the money owed for the shares. (see link for an example of this usage)

Does that fit the general context?

agree DCypher (X) : "funded their acquisition of (the bank's) shares using debt (financing)". [Buying on margin refers to private inv. borrowing to invest. This clearly refers to large, strategic, corporate/inst. shareholders.]

see expl.

acquistare a debito significa che l'acquirente puó fare uso di una leva finanziaria (leverage o, in questo caso, forse leverage buyout) o di prodotti derivati (derivatives).

" When you don't have enough available money to purchase the securities you desire, you can borrow money from a broker-dealer: this is called buying on margin"

This is from the link above.
