- Friday, April 12, 10:37 AM KKR inks a deal to buy a controlling stake in Indian tire maker Alliance Tire from Warburg Pincus for $630M. The investment marks the last for KKR's Asia I fund which raised $4B in 2007. The Asia II fund has commitments for more than $5B vs. a target of $6B. Comment! [Financials]
- Wednesday, April 10, 4:05 PM Private-equity firms are having a veritable field day selling shares in follow-on offerings. WSJ reports Bain, KKR (KKR), Apollo Global (APO), and others unloaded more than $20B worth of shares in 50 offerings during Q1 alone, a 100% Y/Y increase and a record for a single quarter. These guys "know what they're doing," one wealth management VP told the Journal, "I would look at it as … evidence that stocks are more likely to go down than up." 1 Comment
- Wednesday, April 10, 3:50 AM Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO) reportedly made a binding offer of over $65 a share for genetic testing equipment maker Life Technologies (LIFE) ahead of a bid deadline yesterday. A consortium of private-equity firms, including Blackstone (BX), Carlyle (CG) and KKR (KKR), are also looking to make a proposal despite missing the deadline. Life's shares closed at $66.19, giving it a market cap of $11.28B. 1 Comment [Healthcare, M&A, Top Stories]
- Tuesday, April 9, 7:44 AM KKR has joined Blackstone (BX), Carlyle (CG) and other P-E firms to bid more than $12B (~$70.58/share) for Life Technologies (LIFE), NY Post reports, as suitors must make binding offers by today for the maker of laboratory equipment. Last week, Thermo Fisher (TMO) reportedly was the frontrunner with a bid of $65-$70. LIFE +1.9% premarket. Comment! [Healthcare, M&A, On the Move]
- Thursday, April 4, 8:10 AM The average Joe now has the honor of investing alongside the institutional types funding P-E firms as the likes of Carlyle Group (CG), Blackstone (BX), and KKR go after 401(k)s by lowering minimum thresholds for investment. The reason: Sluggish fundraising from the wealthy crowd perhaps losing patience with the high fees levied by the P-E shops. Comment! [Financials]
- Sunday, March 31, 4:30 AM Toys "R" Us, which is partly owned by KKR (KKR) and Vornado Realty Trust (VNO), has finally ended its plans to go public, due to "unfavorable market conditions" and a change in CEO. The move comes a month after boss Gerald Storch said he was stepping down, and as Q4 revenue dropped 2.6% to $5.77B and profit slumped 30% to $239M. 12 Comments [Consumer, Financials]
- Friday, March 29, 6:39 AM The owners of Urenco, the world's second-largest nuclear-fuel maker, are looking to sell the company in a deal that could be worth €8-12B. Potential suitors reportedly include, Canadian uranium processor Cameco (CCJ) and P-E firms Carlyle (CG), KKR, and Blackstone (BX), with the bidders expected to form consortia because of the size of the transaction. Urenco's owners comprise the U.K. and Dutch governments, and German energy utilities E.ON and RWE. 1 Comment [Energy, M&A, Top Stories]
- Wednesday, March 27, 3:13 PM KKR reportedly is seeking $1.5B for an energy fund to invest in oil and gas development, mostly drilling partnerships with a goal of generating steady income and distributions for investors. The firm has made several shale-related natural gas investments in recent years and has a group dedicated to energy and infrastructure transactions. Comment! [Energy, Financials]
- Tuesday, March 26, 8:02 AM KKR agrees to the sale of Intelligence Holdings - a Japanese temporary staffing agency - for $721M, nearly double what it paid for it three years ago. Japan's contribution (relative to Asia) to P-E returns is rising, but the firms are balking at a rising gorilla competitor - government-backed funds - squeezing their opportunities. Comment! [Financials]
- Friday, March 22, 3:15 PM KKR (KKR -2%) and TPG Capital are apparently no longer planning to bid for Life Technologies (LIFE -0.1%). According to reports, the company is more likely to be sold to a corporate buyer, possibly Danaher (DHR +0.6%) or Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO -0.9%). LIFE had initially sought a private equity firm to acquire the company in a leveraged buyout, but strategic bidders emerged who may be in better position because opportunities to cut costs mean they could make a higher offer. Comment! [Healthcare, M&A, On the Move]
- Friday, March 22, 11:16 AM Trying to squeeze the middle-man (i.e., buyout firms like BX and KKR), pension funds and insurers are directly buying stakes in companies, or - at a minimum - investing alongside P-E firms rather than locking money away in their funds. "Co-investment is an effective mechanism to get your fee down," says one fund manager. Comment! [Financials]
- Sunday, March 17, 4:41 AM Panasonic (PC) is considering "various options" for its healthcare unit, a spokeswoman says, but she declines to comment on a report that the company could sell the business as part of its strategy of offloading non-core assets. KKR (KKR) and other private-equity funds could be interested in the operations, for which Panasonic wants up to ¥100B ($1.04B). Comment! [Tech, Healthcare, Consumer]
- Thursday, March 14, 1:36 PM Jazz Pharmaceuticals (JAZZ -0.4%) says regulators have given final approval to a generic version of the company's Luvox CR anti-depressant by Par Pharmaceutical. Additionally, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) confirnms that it sold around 3.73M shares late last week at $58.28 each for $218.5M in gross proceeds, reducing its stake to around 6.5%. 1 Comment [Healthcare]
- Thursday, March 14, 7:49 AM A lawsuit accusing P-E firms of conspiring to drive down prices on target acquisitions moves forward after a federal judge declines a motion to dismiss. The judge also a allowed a separate action over KKR's acquisition of HCA ($32B deal) to proceed. Those sued include: BX, APO, CG, GS. Comment! [Financials]
- Wednesday, March 13, 8:54 AM Everybody wants real estate. KKR is prepping its first-ever fund dedicated to real estate and reportedly has an initial $500M commitment. "We've got a real sense of urgency around scaling in these businesses and grabbing as much land as we can." TPG Capital is planning the launch of at least a $1B fund - it would be the largest initial property fund since Lehman's 2001 $1.6B launch. That didn't work out so well, but first there was several years of partying. 3 Comments [Financials, U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, March 12, 10:28 AM KKR is reportedly putting its 50% stake in French floormaker Tarkett SA on the block in a deal that could value the company for between $2.5B-$3.8B, and has hired JPMorgan to assist. The Deconinck family - which owns the rest of Tarkett - is not a seller. Comment! [Financials]
