Investments
GS Capital Partners emerged in the late 1990s as one of the largest private equity investors globally
competing and partnering with the largest independent firms, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, The Blackstone
Group, Bain Capital, The Carlyle Group and TPG Capital. Since the raising of its Goldman Sachs Capital
Partners 2000 Fund, GS Capital Partners has completed some of the most notable leveraged buyouts:
Investment Year Company Description Ref.
Burger King 2002 In July 2002, GS Capital Partners, together with TPG Capital and Bain
Capital, announced the high profile $2.3 billion leveraged buyout
of Burger King from Diageo. However, in November the original
transaction collapsed, when Burger King failed to meet certain
performance targets. In December 2002, the consortium agreed on a
reduced $1.5 billion purchase price for the investment. The 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.
[4][5][6]
SunGard 2005 GS Capital Partners was one of seven private equity firms involved in
the buyout ofSunGard in a transaction valued at $11.3 billion. GSCP's
partners in the acquisition were Silver Lake Partners, Bain Capital, TPG
Capital, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts,Providence Equity Partners, and The
[7][8]

6. Blackstone Group. This represented the largest leveraged buyout
completed since the takeover of RJR Nabisco at the end of the 1980s
leveraged buyout boom. Also, at the time of its announcement,
SunGard would be the largest buyout of a technology company in
history, a distinction it would cede to the buyout of Freescale
Semiconductor. The SunGard transaction is also notable in the number
of firms involved in the transaction, the largest club deal completed to
that point. The involvement of seven firms in the consortium was
criticized by investors in private equity who considered cross-holdings
among firms to be generally unattractive.
Alltel
Wireless
2007 GS Capital Partners and TPG Capital announced the acquisition
of Alltel Wireless in a $27 billion buyout in May 2007. The transaction
was approved by the Federal Communications Commission and closed
on November 16, 2007. However just over six months later, on June 5,
2008, Goldman and TPG agreed to sell Alltel to Verizon for slightly
more than it had paid for the company amidst a deteriorating economic
outlook.

Biomet 2007 GS Capital Partners, The Blackstone Group, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts,
and TPG Capitalacquired the medical devices company for $11.6
billion.
[11]
TXU 2007 An investor group of GS Capital Partners, Kohlberg Kravis
Roberts and TPG Capitalcompleted the $44.37 billion
[12]
buyout of the
regulated utility and power producer. The investor group had to work
closely with ERCOT regulators to gain approval of the transaction but
had significant experience with the regulators from their earlier buyout
ofTexas Genco. TXU is the largest buyout in history, and retained this
distinction when the announced buyout of BCE failed to close in
December 2008. The deal is also notable for a drastic change
in environmental policy for the energy giant, in terms of itscarbon
emissions from coal power plants and funding alternative energy.
