- Sunday, September 23, 2012, 4:20 AM Japanese state-backed investment fund Innovation Network is in talks with major manufacturers - reportedly including Toyota (TM) and Panasonic (PC) - about acquiring struggling chipmaker Renesas, which is the subject of a bid of over ¥100B ($1.3B) from KKR. The Japanese government fears that KKR would "cut off the less-profitable operations" that are important for Japanese end users. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Wednesday, September 12, 2012, 12:50 PM KKR, Apollo Global (APO), and Clayton Dubilier & Rice are considering a buyout of KAR Auction (KAR +1%) in what potentially could be a $4B deal. The discussion is in the early stages, after KAR hired Evercore Partners to solicit offers. A deal may be hard to come by however, as KAR's price has been rallying on buyout chatter and skewing the math. The stock is up more than 10% since August 22, when news of a potential sale broke. 1 Comment [M&A, On the Move]
- Wednesday, September 12, 2012, 10:19 AM With KKR's takeover of Prisma Capital set to close soon, two of Prisma's public pension fund investors express concern bigger isn't better (though neither has moved to withdraw money). Julie Segal of Institutional Investor agrees, but says it won't stop consolidation in the money management business from moving forward. Comment! [Financials]
- Sunday, September 9, 2012, 4:12 AM Kellogg (K) and KKR are among the companies interested in bidding for United Biscuits' KP snacks unit, which could be worth £500M, Bloomberg reported yesterday. KP was spun off this year from United Biscuits' owners, Blackstone (BX) and PAI Partners. Documents are due to be sent this week. Comment! [M&A, Consumer]
- Sunday, September 2, 2012, 3:16 AM The NY AG has reportedly subpoenaed at least a dozen P-E firms as part of an investigation into the legality of a widespread tax strategy that has saved the firms hundreds of millions of dollars. The companies include KKR, Apollo Global Management (APO) and Bain. Under the practice, firms convert certain management fees into fund investments, which are subject to lower tax rates. 6 Comments [Financials]
- Wednesday, August 29, 2012, 2:39 AM KKR (KKR) is reportedly in negotiations to invest about ¥100B ($1.3B) in Renesas (RNECY.PK) in a deal that would give the U.S. P-E firm a controlling stake in the unprofitable Japanese chipmaker, which is owned by NEC, Hitachi and Mitsubishi Electric. The speculation sent Renesas' shares surging 35% in Tokyo. Comment! [Tech, Top Stories, M&A, Financials]
- Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:27 AM Ancestry.com (ACOM) asks suitors, including P-E firms Permira and TPG, to increase their bids for the genealogy Web site, Bloomberg reports, with the firm already turning down a bid of $35 a share. KKR and Providence have shown interest but haven't yet made any offers as they think the price is too high. Ancestry.com closed yesterday at $30.24, giving it a market cap of $1.29B. Comment! [Consumer, M&A]
- Wednesday, August 22, 2012, 4:43 AM KKR is in preliminary discussions to launch a debt fund of $750M-$1B for India, the P-E firm's first that's specifically focused on the country, Reuters reports. KKR aims to exploit India's high interest rates and the need for cash of local corporations. However, KKR doesn't plan to launch the vehicle until it's closed a $6B+ pan-Asian fund, $3B of which has been raised. 1 Comment [Financials]
- Friday, August 10, 2012, 7:10 AM Stepping in as banks pull back, KKR has nearly doubled from last year its direct lending to troubled European companies in H1. "There's a massive change in the behavior of banks in the last 6 months as they are really taking a hard line with borrowers," says KKR's Nat Zikha. Comment! [Financials]
- Wednesday, August 8, 2012, 12:47 PM The new hot items - securitizations of U.S. single-family rental properties - may be unable to get top credit ratings from Fitch, the agency identifying a number of performance/data issues (mostly relating to short operating histories). A number of firms - KKR, BX, TWO, OZM among them - have joined the rush to get into the residential landlord business. 4 Comments [U.S. Economy, Financials]
- Tuesday, August 7, 2012, 1:27 PM Having had success bringing down executive pay, pension funds take aim at the lush fees charged by PE firms, with the biggest players looking to take the management fee down to 1.2% from 1.5% (from 2%). Bain Capital recently rolled out fee options, offering a near-zero management fee in return for a bigger slice of the profits. Comment! [Financials]
- Monday, August 6, 2012, 4:36 PM RBS' fast pace of non-core asset sales is set to slow down as the most-desirable ones have been sold. The prices needed to move what's left off the books will be so low as to force capital-destroying marks. Adding to the problem are other EU banks shedding assets at the same time. The winners: PE firms, U.S. banks, hedge funds. Comment! [Financials]
- Monday, August 6, 2012, 8:44 AM The Carlyle Group (CG) is close to sealing a nearly $5B buyout of DuPont’s (DD) auto paint business, NY Post reports. The deal, said to be at ~8x EBIT, would leave bids by Apollo Global (APO), Blackstone (BX) and KKR in its wake. Comment! [Commodities, M&A]

- Friday, July 27, 2012, 4:47 AM In order to receive EU approval for its $1.9B acquisition of EMI's (C) recorded music arm, Universal Music (VIVHY.PK) is reportedly ready to sell EMI's iconic Parlophone label, home to the Beatles, Queen and Coldplay, although Universal will look to keep the first two acts.
