Simpson Thacher Leads KKR In $9.9B Envision Healthcare Buy

KKR is chasing Envision Healthcare. I am just wondering how effective are some of these buyouts for KKR. What was the IRR on Nabisco? How good was the Heinz deal

“After conducting a robust review of the business and competitive landscape, the company’s opportunities and challenges, and the strategic and financial alternatives available to the company, the board unanimously believes that this transaction will deliver the most value to Envision’s shareholders," James D. Shelton, Envision's lead independent director, said in a statement.

Washington State Investment Board usually has the best disclosure on IRRs of funds invested of all of the state pension funds, so you can check this out to understand typical IRRs by strategy & vintage: https://www.sib.wa.gov/financial/pdfs/quarterly/ir123117.pdf

P.S. Not sure what it is with the recent increase of people on this forum's default answer to a question being "do your own research." I remember when I was trying to break in and a little guidance went a long way.

 

I'm struggling to understand the title of your post as well its relation to the post itself. Simpson Thacher is a fine white-shoe law firm but law firms will not "lead" anyone to signing. They play an absolutely integral part of the process but the banks, which in this case were JPM, Evercore, and Guggenheim, are generally those who guide the seller through the process.

IRR is typically not publically disclosed.
