Price III. Prior to founding TPG, Bonderman and Coulter had worked for Robert M. Bass making leveraged buyout investments during the 1980s. In 1993, Coulter and Bonderman partnered with William S. Price III, who was Vice President of Strategic Planning and Business Development for GE Capital, to complete the buyout of Continental Airlines.[7] At the time, TPG was virtually alone in its conviction that there was an investment opportunity with the airline. The plan included bringing in a new management team, improving aircraft utilization and focusing on lucrative routes. By 1998, TPG had generated an annual internal rate of return of 55% on its investment. Early history Texas Pacific Group in the late 1990s (Origins of modern private equity) • The 1980s In 1997, TPG completed fundraising for its second private equity fund, with over $2.5 (Leveraged buyout boom) billion of investor commitments. In June 1996, TPG acquired the AT&T Paradyne unit, a • multimedia communications business, from Lucent Technologies for $175 million.[8] Also The 1990s in 1996, TPG invested in Beringer Wine, Ducati Motorcycles and Del Monte Foods. (Leveraged buyout and the venture capital bubble) • The 2000s TPG's most notable 1997 investment was its takeover of J. Crew. TPG acquired an 88% (Dot-com bubble to the credit crunch) stake in the retailer for approximately $500 million,[9] however the investment struggled due to the relatively high purchase price paid relative to the company's earnings.[10] The company was able to complete a turnaround beginning in 2002 and complete an initial public offering in 2006.[11] The following year, in 1998, TPG led an investor group in a minority investment in Oxford Health Plans. TPG and its co-investors invested $350 million in a convertible preferred stock that can be converted into 22.1% of Oxford.[12] The company completed a buyback of the TPG's PIPE convertible in 2000 and would ultimately be acquired by UnitedHealth Group in 2004.[13] As the decade came to a close, TPG was once again fundraising, for its third private equity fund. This time, however TPG was raising not only a new buyout fund, but also a new fund, T3 Partners that would invest alongside the main fund in technology oriented investments. In 1999, TPG invested in Piaggio S.p.A, Bally International (including Bally Shoe), and ON Semiconductor. TPG has also become recognized for its dedicated operations group that has become a major part of the process from investment to sale in many of their portfolio companies. The group is led by Dick Boyce and involves itself in tricky turnaround situations, operations improvement and other tasks that help create value in the company. Other major private equity firms have begun to develop operations group as well, attempting to recreate the model at TPG but most have had trouble creating as expansive a program. Texas Pacific Group in the early 2000s In 2000, TPG and Leonard Green & Partners invested $200 million to acquire Petco, the pet supplies retailer as part of a $600 million buyout.[14] Within two years they sold most of it in a public offering that valued the company at $1 billion. Petco’s market value more than doubled by the end of 2004 and the firms would ultimately realize a gain of $1.2 billion. Then, in 2006, the private equity firms took Petco private again for $1.68 billion.[15] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TPG_Capital 2/01/2014 TPG Capital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 3 of 6 That same year, in 2000, TPG completed the controversial acquisition of Gemplus SA, one of the leading smart card manufacturers. TPG won a struggle with the company's founder, Marc Lassus, for control of the company.[16] Also in 2000, TPG completed an investment in Seagate Technology. In 2001, TPG acquired Telenor Media, a Norwegian phone-directory company, for $660m, and shortly thereafter acquired a controlling interest in the third largest silicon-wafer maker MEMC Electronic Materials.[17] In July 2002, TPG, together with Bain Capital and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, announced the high profile $2.3 billion leveraged buyout of Burger King from Diageo.[18] However, in November the original transaction collapsed, when Burger King failed to meet certain performance targets. In December 2002, TPG and its co-investors agreed on a reduced $1.5 billion purchase price for the investment.[19] The TPG consortium had support from Burger King's franchisees, who controlled approximately 92% of Burger King restaurants at the time of the transaction. Under its new owners, Burger King underwent a major brand overhaul including the use of The Burger King character in advertising. In February 2006, Burger King announced plans for an initial public offering.[20] In November 2003, TPG provided a proposal to buy Portland General Electric from Enron. However, concerns about debt and local politics led to Oregon's Public Utilities Commission regulators to deny permission for the purchase March 10, 2005.Oregon Public Utility Commission (March 10, 2005). "ORDER NO. 05- 114" (http://apps.puc.state.or.us/orders/2005ords/05%2D114.pdf) (PDF). Retrieved 2008-02-01. TPG ventured into the film business in late 2004 in the major leveraged buyout of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. A consortium led by TPG and Sony completed the $4.81 billion buyout of the film studio. The consortium also included media-focused firms Providence Equity Partners and Quadrangle Group as well as DLJ Merchant Banking Partners.[21] The transaction, which was announced in September 2004, was completed in early 2005. Also in 2005, TPG was one of seven private equity firms involved in the buyout of SunGard in a transaction valued at $11.3 billion. TPG's partners in the acquisition were Silver Lake Partners, Bain Capital, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, Providence Equity Partners, and Blackstone Group.

  • Saban Acquires Leading Lifestyle Company Paul Frank Industries
    Saban Acquires Leading Lifestyle Company Paul Frank Industries Saban Brands To Manage Paul Frank Brand and Global Licensing Program Company Also Plans To Develop Content and Media Opportunities Based On World-Famous Characters, Including The Iconic Monkey, Julius LOS ANGELES, CA. (August 17, 2010) – Saban Capital Group, Inc. announced today that its affiliate has acquired renowned lifestyle company Paul Frank Industries (PFI) including all company assets and intellectual property, an extensive design portfolio including more than 150 characters, headlined by the omnipresent monkey Julius. Saban Brands, an affiliate of Saban Capital Group, Inc., will be responsible for the management of the company’s business strategy moving forward, while creative operations will remain based in PFI’s current headquarters in Costa Mesa, California. PFI marks the second acquisition, in the $500 million fund for Saban Brands, which was created to manage and license entertainment properties and consumer brands across media and consumer platforms throughout the world.

  • Financial Services & Technology
    Leadership Newsleter Financial Services & Technology Fall 2015 GTCR Firm Update Since the firm’s inception in 1980, GTCR has partnered with management teams to build and transform growth businesses, investing over $12 billion in more than 200 companies. In January 2014, we closed GTCR Fund XI, the firm’s largest fund to date, with $3.85 billion of limited partner equity capital commitments. To date, we have made five investments in Fund XI. Financial Services & Technology Group Update GTCR's Financial Services & Technology group has stayed very busy in 2015: with the sale of three porfolio companies, Premium Credit Limited, Fundtech and AssuredPartners; the pending sales of Ironshore and The Townsend Group; and the acquisition by Opus Global of Alacra, a provider of KYC compliance workflow sotware to financial institutions. Industry Viewpoints During the extended bull market since the Great Recession, “fintech” has become one of the hotest segments of the economy in terms of media and investor focus. The space has received intense media atention and an influx of capital from venture capitalists and traditional strategic buyers looking to avoid falling behind the curve. Unlike many industries where wholesale technology changes can quickly upend a traditional landscape, financial services requires a more nuanced evolution of technological progress given heightened regulatory requirements, dependence on human capital and the need for trust in financial markets. Many new entrants in the fintech space (both companies and investors) have focused heavily on the “tech” and less on the “fin.” Unlike many new investors in the space, GTCR sees technology not as a separate subsector but as an integral part of financial services, and we have been investing behind the adoption of technology throughout the industry for over two decades.
