It's the owners who decide how much or how little debt they load the company up with. If they gamble and get it wrong, then they should face the consequences.
If the owners gamble on loading the parent company up with debt, and interests rates rise then they take a hit and possibly lose ownership of their assets. Conversely, if interest rates fall then they take a gain.
