  • How TPG's David Teoh Snared His Prey Iinet
    Home / Business / Telecommunications Sep 5 2015 at 12:15 AM Updated Sep 5 2015 at 2:55 PM How TPG's David Teoh snared his prey iiNet Rob Homer by David Ramli It takes a special kind of businessman to stalk his prey for four long years. But in a market where money lives quarter to quarter, that's exactly what the reclusive billionaire and TPG Telecom executive chairman, David Teoh, did in his patient hunt for internet service provider iiNet. In February 2011, as Sydney's skies turned grey with summer rain, Teoh invited iiNet chair Michael Smith and founder Michael Malone to breakfast at the Bambini Wine Room in the city across from Hyde Park. As they ate among the wood-grained panels beneath a wall of pinot noir, Teoh insisted he was merely an investor chasing a bargain. In March 2015, four silent years later, Smith's phone buzzed with a second invitation to breakfast. Teoh decided now was time to strike and offered an all-cash deal the chairman felt he couldn't refuse. TPG's $1.56 billion takeover of iiNet, which was finalised in the Federal Court late last month, has been a gruelling and controversial process amid claims the sale was bungled, and undervalued both the telco and the market – points the company strongly deny. But what is indisputable is the quiet power skilfully amassed by TPG's Malaysian-born executive chairman in a relatively short time. Between the first fateful breakfast and September 3, TPG's market capitalisation has grown from $1.1 billion to over $7 billion.
