TPG Capital LP Acquires Burger King Holdings, Inc.

TPG Capital is the global buyout group of TPG, a private investment firm founded in 1992 with offices in San Francisco, London, Hong Kong, New York, Fort Worth, Washington, D.C., Melbourne, Moscow, Mumbai, Paris, Luxembourg, Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore, and Tokyo. TPG Capital has extensive experience with global public and private investments executed through leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, spinouts, joint ventures, and restructurings. In March 2011, TPG Capital's parent TPG Holdings sold nearly 5% of itself to sovereign-wealth funds operated by Kuwait and Singapore. The stake purchase deals valuesd TPG Capital at about $11 billion. TPG Capital's raise of several hundred million dollars for a stake in the private equity firm's management company likely put off any plans for an IPO for TPG Capital or TPG Holdings, according to PrivCo sources inside the firm.
