leveraged buyout

In Langman online dictionary http://pewebdic2.cw.idm.fr/ , the explanation for leveraged buyout is like this:

when someone borrows money to buy all or most of the stock of a company by promising to pay the bank back by selling the company's assets if they cannot pay back the money they borrowed

I have a doubt for the red part, it even does not make sense. In addition, many other places explain it only as "borrow money to do buyout", for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leveraged_buyout

Do you have any comment about this? Thanks.
