Burger King Holdings Inc. announced that three private-equity shareholders would sell 18 million shares of the company’s
common stock in a secondary offering priced at $25 per share. The selling shareholders — funds controlled by TPG Capital,
Bain Capital Partners and the Goldman Sachs Funds, which together are majority owners of Burger King — will also offer to
the underwriters of the offering an option to purchase up to an additional 2.7 million shares. When this offering was first
announced, Burger King had said the firms planned to offer 23 million shares, with an over-allotment option of up to 3.45
million units. That number of shares originally slated for sale represented between 29% and 33.5% of the group’s 79 million
shares, or a 58% holding in Burger King. Now, the shares slated for sale represent between 23% and 26% of the firms’ stake.
The secondary offer could gross the private-equity firms $517.5 million. Burger King is not receiving any proceeds from the
sale. After completion of the deal, the selling shareholders will have reduced their ownership stake in Burger King to between
45% and 43%. (NRN Daily NewsFax 11/15/07)
