Final answer:

The examples provided are all related to Leveraged Buyouts except for Motorola and Motorola Mobility, which does not represent an LBO as it was a corporate split, not a buyout with leveraged funds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking which of the listed items are not examples of Leveraged Buyouts (LBOs). An LBO is a financial transaction in which a company is purchased primarily with borrowed funds, with the assets of the company being acquired often used as collateral for the loans. Now, let's take a look at the options provided:

  • The Carlyle Group and Veritas is a valid example of a partnership engaged in LBO activities.
  • JAB and Keurig Green Mountain is an example of an LBO where JAB Holding Company acquired Keurig Green Mountain.
  • KKR and RJR Nabisco is a classic case of an LBO, well-known from the book and movie 'Barbarians at the Gate'.
  • Motorola and Motorola Mobility is not an example of an LBO. Motorola split into two separate companies, Motorola Mobility and Motorola Solutions, in 2011 without a leveraged buyout structure.

Therefore, the correct answer is Motorola and Motorola Mobility, as this is the pair that does not represent an LBO event.
