          1984 founding and early history

          Bain Capital was founded in 1984 by Bain & Company partners Mitt Romney, T.
                   p                              y             p yp                       y
          Coleman Andrews III, and Eric Kriss, after Bill Bain had offered Romney the chance to
                                                                                       y
          head a new venture that would invest in companies and apply Bain's consulting
          techniques to improve operations.[5] In addition to the three founding partners, the early

          team included Fraser Bullock, Robert F. White, Joshua Bekenstein, Adam Kirsch, and
                                                                                ,

          director      or CEO       as well. He was also the sole shareholder of the firm.[13] At the
                                                                                           [1

          beginning, the firm had fewer than ten employees.[14] When new employees were hired,
          they were generally in their twenties and top-ranked graduates from Stanford University
          or Harvard University, both of which Romney had attended.[15]

          In the face of skepticism from potential investors, Romney and his partners spent a year
          raising the $37 million in funds needed to start the new operation.[16][17][14][18] Early
          investors also included members of elite Salvadoran families who fled the country's civil
          war.[19] They and other wealthy Latin Americans invested $9 million primarily through
          offshore companies registered in Panama.[20]

          While Bain Capital was founded by Bain executives, the firm was not an affiliate or a
          division of Bain & Company but rather a completely separate company. Initially, the two
          firms shared the same offices - in an office tower at Copley Place in Boston[21] - and a
          similar approach to improving business operations. However, the two firms had put in
          place certain protections to avoid sharing information between the two companies and
          the Bain & Company executives had the ability to veto investments that posed potential
          conflicts of interest.[22] Bain Capital also provided an investment opportunity for
          partners of Bain & Company. Bain Capital's original $37 million fund was raised entirely
          from private individuals in mid-1984.[6] The firm initially gave a cut of its profits to Bain
          & Company, but Romney later persuaded Bill Bain to give that up.[23]

          The Bain Capital team was initially reluctant to invest its capital. By 1985, things were
          going poorly enough that Romney considered closing the operation, returning investors'
          money back to them, and having the partners go back to their old positions.[24] The                  In late 2011, Bain Capital moved its

          done.[25] At first, Bain Capital focused on venture capital opportunities.[25] One of Bain's         Tower in Boston, Massachusetts. Bain
          earliest and most notable venture investments was in Staples, Inc., the office supply                occupies 210,000 sq. ft. from the 36th
          retailer. In 1986, Bain provided $4.5 million to two supermarket executives, Leo Kahn                to 43rd floors.[3]
          and Thomas G. Stemberg, to open an office supply supermarket in Brighton,
          Massachusetts.[26] The fast-growing retail chain went public in 1989;[27] by 1996,
          the company had grown to over 1,100 stores,[28] and by 2008, over 2,000
          stores.[29] Bain Capital eventually reaped a nearly sevenfold return on its
          investment, and Romney sat on the Staples board of directors for over a decade.
          [14][18][25]
                       Another very successful investment occurred in 1986 when $1 million
          was invested in medical equipment maker Calumet Coach, which eventually
          returned $34 million.[30] A few years later, Bain Capital made an investment in
          the technology research outfit the Gartner Group, which ended up returning a
          16-fold gain.[30]

          Bain invested the $37 million of capital in its first fund in twenty companies and      Bain Capital was an initial investor in Staples,
          by 1989 was generating an annualized return in excess of 50 percent. By the end
                                                                                                  Inc.
          of the decade, Bain's second fund, raised in 1987 had deployed $106 million into
          13 investments.[31] As the firm began organizing around funds, each such fund
          was run by a specific general partnership – that included all Bain Capital executives as well as others – which in turn was

          controlled by Bain Capital Inc., the management company that Romney had full ownership control of.[32] As CEO, Romney had
          the final approval say on every deal made.[33]

          1990s

          Beginning in 1989, the firm, which began as a venture capital source investing in start-up companies, adjusted its strategy to
          focus on leveraged buyouts and growth capital investments in more mature companies.[34] Their model was to buy existing firms
          with money mostly borrowed against their assets, partner with existing management to apply Bain methodology to their
          operations (rather than the hostile takeovers practiced in other leverage buyout scenarios), and sell them off in a few years.
          [25][17]
                   Existing CEOs were offered large equity stakes in the process, owing to Bain Capital's belief in the emerging agency
          theory that CEOs should be bound to maximizing shareholder value rather than other goals.[18] By the end of 1990, Bain had
          raised $175 million of capital and financed 35 companies with combined revenues of $3.5 billion.[35]

          In July 1992, Bain acquired Ampad (originally American Pad & Paper) from Mead Corporation, which had acquired the
          company in 1986. Mead which had been experiencing difficulties integrating Ampad's products into its existing product lines,
          generated a cash gain of $56 million on the sale.[36] Under Bain's ownership, the company enjoyed a significant growth in sales
          from $106.7 million in 1992 to $583.9 million in 1996, when the company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Under
          Bain's ownership, the company also made a number of acquisitions, including writing products company SCM in July 1994,
          brand names from the American Trading and Production Corporation in August 1995, WR Acquisition and the Williamhouse-
          Regency Division of Delaware, Inc. in October, 1995, Niagara Envelope Company, Inc. in 1996, and Shade/Allied, Inc. in
          February 1997.[37] Ampad's revenue began to decline in 1997 and the company laid off employees and closed production
          facilities to maintain profitability. However, the company filed for bankruptcy in 2001 and the assets were acquired in 2003 by
          Crescent Investments. Bain's ownership of Ampad, is estimated to have generated more than $100 million in profit for Bain.[38]

          In 1994, Bain acquired Totes, a producer of umbrellas and overshoes.[39] Three years later, Totes, under Bain’s ownership,
          acquired Isotoner, a producer of leather gloves.[40]

          Bain, together with Thomas H. Lee Partners, acquired Experian, the consumer credit reporting business of TRW, in 1996 for
          more than $1 billion. Formerly known as TRW's Information Systems and Services unit, Experian is one of the leading providers
          of credit reports on consumers and businesses in the US.[41] The company was sold to Great Universal Stores for $1.7 billion just
          months after being acquired.[42] Other notable Bain investments of the late 1990s included Sealy Corporation, the manufacturer
          of mattresses;[43] Alliance Laundry Systems;[44] Domino's Pizza[45] and Artisan Entertainment.[46]

          Much of the firm's profits was earned from a relatively small number of deals, with Bain Capital's overall success and failure rate
          being about even. One study of 68 deals that Bain Capital made up through the 1990s found that the firm lost money or broke
          even on 33 of them.[47] Another study that looked at the eight-year period following 77 deals during the same time found that in
          17 cases the company went bankrupt or out of business, and in 6 cases Bain Capital lost all its investment. But 10 deals were
          very successful and represented 70 percent of the total profits.[48]

          Romney had two diversions from Bain Capital during the first half of the decade. From January 1991 to December 1992,[49][25]
          Romney served as the CEO of Bain & Company where he led the successful turnaround of the consulting firm (he remained
          managing general partner of Bain Capital during this time).[8][9] In November 1993, he took a leave of absence for his
          unsuccessful 1994 run for the U.S. Senate seat from Massachusetts; he returned the day after the election in November 1994.[50]
          [25][51]
                   During that time, Ampad workers went on strike, and asked Romney to intervene; Bain Capital lawyers asked him not to
          get involved, although he did meet with the workers to tell them he had no position of active authority in the matter.[52][53]

          In 1994, Bain invested in Steel Dynamics, based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, a prosperous steel company that has grown to the fifth
          largest in the U.S.A, employs about 6,100 people, and produces carbon steel products with 2010 revenues of $6.3 billion on steel
          shipments of 5.3 million tons.[54] In 1993, Bain acquired the Armco Worldwide Grinding System steel plant in Kansas City,
          Missouri and merged it with its steel plant in Georgetown, South Carolina to form GST Steel. The Kansas City plant had a strike
          in 1997 and Bain closed the plant in 2001 laying off 750 workers when it went into bankruptcy. The South Carolina plant closed
          in 2003 but subsequently reopened under a different owner. At the time of its bankruptcy it reported $553.9 million in debts
          against $395.2 in assets. Bain reported $58.4 million in profits, the employee pension fund had a liability of $44 million.[55][56]

          Bain's investment in Dade Behring represented a significant investment in the medical diagnostics industry. In 1994, Bain,
          together with Goldman Sachs Capital Partners completed a carveout acquisition of Dade International,[59] the medical
          diagnostics division of Baxter International in a $440 million acquisition. Dade's private equity owners merged the company with
          DuPont's in vitro diagnostics business in May 1996 and subsequently with the Behring Diagnostics division of Hoechst AG in
          1997.[60] Aventis, the successor of Hoechst, acquired 52% of the combined company.[61] In 1999, the company reported $1.3
          billion of revenue and completed a $1.25 billion leveraged recapitalization that resulted in a payout to shareholders.[60] The
          dividend, taken together with other previous shareholder dividends resulted in an eightfold return on investment to Bain Capital
          and Goldman Sachs.[30][48] Revenues declined from 1999 through 2002 and despite attempts to cut costs through layoffs the
          company entered into bankruptcy in 2002. Following its restructuring, Dade Behring emerged from Bankruptcy in 2003 and
          continued to operate independently until 2007 when the business was acquired by Siemens Medical Solutions. Bain and
          Goldman lost their remaining stock in the company as part of the bankruptcy.[62]

          By the end of the decade, Bain Capital was on its way to being one of the top private equity firms in the nation,[23] having
          increased its number of partners from 5 to 18, having 115 employees overall, and having $4 billion under its management.[17][14]
          The firm's average annual return on investments was 113 percent.[16][63] It had made between 100 and 150 deals where it
          acquired and then sold a company.[30][47][48]

          1999-2002: Romney departure and political legacy

          Romney took a paid leave of absence from Bain Capital in February 1999 when he became the head of the Salt Lake Organizing
          Committee for the 2002 Winter Olympics.[64][65] The decision caused turmoil at Bain Capital, with a power struggle ensuing.[66]
          Some partners left and founded the Audax Group and Golden Gate Capital.[33] Other partners threatened to leave, and there was
          a prospect of eight-figure lawsuits being filed.[66] Romney was worried that the firm might be destroyed, but the crisis ebbed.[66]

          Romney was not involved in day-to-day operations of the firm after starting the Olympics position.[67][68] Those were handled
          by a management committee, consisting of five of the fourteen remaining active partners with the firm.[33] However, according
          to some interviews and press releases during 1999, Romney said he was keeping a part-time function at Bain.[69][33]

          During his leave of absence, Romney continued to be listed in filings to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission[70] as
          "sole shareholder, sole director, Chief Executive Officer and President".[71][72] The SEC filings reflected the legal reality[73] and
          the ownership interest in the Bain Capital management company.[32][74] In practice, former Bain partners have stated that
          Romney's attention was mostly occupied by his Olympics position.[75][73] He did stay in regular contact with his partners, and
          traveled to meet with them several times, signing corporate and legal documents and paying attention to his own interests within
          the firm and to his departure negotiations.[74] Bain Capital Fund VI in 1998 was the last one Romney was involved in; investors
          were worried that with Romney gone, the firm would have trouble raising money for Bain Capital Fund VII in 2000, but in
          practice the $2.5 billion was raised without much trouble.[33] His former partners have said that Romney had no role in assessing
          other new investments after February 1999,[33] nor was he involved in directing the company’s investment funds.[32]
          Discussions over the final terms of Romney's departure dragged on during this time, with Romney negotiating for the best deal
          he could get and his continuing position as CEO and sole shareholder giving him the leverage to do so.[73][33]

          Although he had left open the possibility of returning to Bain after the Olympics, Romney made his crossover to politics
          permanent with an announcement in August 2001.[64] His separation from the firm was finalized in early 2002.[33][76] Romney
          negotiated a ten-year retirement agreement with Bain Capital[33] that allowed him to receive a passive profit share and interest
          as a retired partner in some Bain Capital entities, including buyout and Bain Capital investment funds, in exchange for his
          ownership in the management company.[77][78] Because the private equity business continued to thrive, this deal would bring
          him millions of dollars in annual income.[78] Romney was the first and last CEO of Bain Capital; since his departure became
          final, it has continued to be run by management committee.[33]

          Bain Capital itself, and especially its actions and investments during its first 15 years, came under press scrutiny as the result of
          Romney's 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns.[30][79][80] Bain Capital made as few comments about those actions and
          investments as possible, as even by the standards of the private equity industry it was known for its commitment towards secrecy
          about itself and privacy for its clients and investors.[80] Romney's leave of absence and the level of activity he had within the

          firm during the 1999-2002 period also garnered attention.[81][82][83][84][85][86]

          Early 2000s

          Bain Capital began the new decade by closing on its seventh fund, Bain Capital Fund VII,
          with over $3.1 billion of investor commitments. The firm's most notable investments in
          2000 included the $700 million acquisition of Datek, the online stock brokerage firm,[87]
          as well as the $305 million acquisition of KB Toys from Consolidated Stores.[88] Datek
          was ultimately merged with Ameritrade in 2002. KB Toys, which had been financially
          troubled since the 1990s as a result of increased pressure from national discount chains
          such as Wal-Mart and Target, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January
          2004. Bain had been able to recover value on its investment through a dividend
          recapitalization in 2003.[89] In early 2001, Bain agreed to purchase a 30 percent stake,
          worth $600 million, in Huntsman Corporation, a leading chemical company owned by Jon             In 2002, Bain acquired Burger King
          Huntsman, Sr., but the deal was never completed. [90][91]                                        together with TPG Capital and
                                                                                                           Goldman Sachs Capital Partners.
          With a significant amount of committed capital in its new fund available for investment,
          Bain was one of a handful of private equity investors capable of completing large
          transactions in the adverse conditions of the early 2000s recession. In July 2002, Bain together with TPG Capital and Goldman
          Sachs Capital Partners, announced the high profile $2.3 billion leveraged buyout of Burger King from Diageo.[92] However, in
          November the original transaction collapsed, when Burger King failed to meet certain performance targets. In December 2002,
          Bain and its co-investors agreed on a reduced $1.5 billion purchase price for the investment.[93] The Bain 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.[94]

          In late 2002, Bain remained active acquiring Houghton Mifflin Company for $1.28 billion, together with Thomas H. Lee Partners
          and The Blackstone Group. Houghton Mifflin and Burger King represented two of the first large club deals, completed since the
          collapse of the Dot-com bubble.[95]

          In November 2003, Bain completed an investment in Warner Music Group. In 2004 Bain acquired the Dollarama chain of dollar
          stores, based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and operating stores in the provinces of Eastern Canada for $1.05 billion CAD. In
          March 2004, Bain acquired Brenntag Group from Deutsche Bahn AG (Exited in 2006; sold to BC Partners for $4B). In August
          2003, Bain acquired a 50% interest in Bombardier Inc.'s recreational products division, along with the Bombardier family and
          the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, and created Bombardier Recreational Products or BRP.

          Bain and the 2000s buy-out boom

          In 2004 a consortium comprising KKR, Bain Capital and real estate development company
          Vornado Realty Trust announced the $6.6 billion acquisition of Toys "R" Us, the toy retailer.
          A month earlier, Cerberus Capital Management, made a $5.5 billion offer for both the toy
          and baby supplies businesses.[96] The Toys 'R' Us buyout was one of the largest in several
          years.[97] Following this transaction, by the end of 2004 and in 2005, major buyouts were
          once again becoming common and market observers were stunned by the leverage levels
          and financing terms obtained by financial sponsors in their buyouts.[98]

          The following y

          buyout of SunGard in a transaction valued at $11.3 billion. Bain's partners in the acquisition
                                                                       B      p                               Bain led a consortium in the

          Roberts, Providence Equity Partners, and The 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

                                                  Bain led a consortium, together with The Carlyle Group and Thomas H. Lee Partners to
                                                  acquire Dunkin' Brands. The private equity firms paid $2.425 billion in cash for the
                                                  parent company of Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins in December 2005.[101]

                                                  In 2006, Bain Capital and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, together with Merrill Lynch and the
                                                  Frist family (which had founded the company) completed a $31.6 billion acquisition of
                                                  Hospital Corporation of America, 17 years after it was taken private for the first time in a
                                                  management buyout. At the time of its announcement, the HCA buyout would be the first
                                                  of several to set new records for the largest buyout, eclipsing the 1989 buyout of RJR
                                                  Nabisco. It would later be surpassed by the buyouts of Equity Office Properties and
                                                  TXU.[102] In August 2006, Bain was part of the consortium, together with Kohlberg
                                                  Kravis Roberts, Silver Lake Partners and AlpInvest Partners, that acquired a controlling
                                                  80.1% share of semiconductors unit of Philips for €6.4 billion. The new company, based
                                                  in the Netherlands, was renamed NXP Semiconductors.[103][104]

                                                    During the buyout boom, Bain was active in the acquisition of various retail
                                                    businesses.[105] In January 2006, Bain announced the acquisition of Burlington Coat
           Bain led the buyout of Dunkin' Brands
                                                    Factory, a discount retailer operating 367 department stores in 42 states, in a $2 billion
           for $2.4 billion in 2005
                                                    buyout transaction.[106] Six months later, in October 2006, Bain and The Blackstone
                                                    Group acquired Michaels Stores, the largest arts and crafts retailer in North America in a
          $6.0 billion leveraged buyout. Bain and Blackstone narrowly beat out Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and TPG Capital in an auction
          for the company.[107] In June 2007, Bain agreed to acquire HD Supply, the wholesale construction supply business of Home
          Depot for $10.3 billion.[108] Bain, along with partners Carlyle Group and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, would later negotiate a lower

                                   [1
          of Guitar Center, the leading musical equipment retailer in the U.S. Bain paid $1.9 billion, plus $200 million in assumed debt,
          representing a 26% premium to the stock's closing price prior to the announcement.[110] Bain also acquired Edcon Limited,
          which operates Edgars Department Stores in South Africa and Zimbabwe for 25 billion-rand ($3.5 billion) in February 2007.[111]

          Other investments during the buyout boom included: Bavaria Yachtbau, acquired for €1.3 billion in July 2007[112] as well as
          Sensata Technologies, acquired from Texas Instruments in 2006 for approximately $3 billion.[113]

          Since 2008

          In the wake of the closure of the credit markets in 2007 and 2008, Bain managed to close only a small number of sizable
          transactions. In July 2008, Bain, together with NBC Universal and The Blackstone Group agreed to purchase The Weather
          Channel from Landmark Communications.[114][115]

          Subsequent investments include, but are not limited to:

                July 2008 – Bain, together with Thomas H. Lee Partners, acquired Clear Channel Communications.[116]
                July 2008 – Bain acquired D&M Holdings for $442 million.[117]
                June 2009 – Bain Capital announced a deal to acquire a 9–23 percent stake in Chinese electronics manufacturer GOME

          Bain Capital Private Equity

          Bain Capital Private Equity has raised ten funds and invested in more than 250 companies. The private equity activity includes
          leveraged buyouts and growth capital in a wide variety of industries.[122] Bain began investing in Europe in 1989 through its
          London-based affiliate Bain Capital Europe.[123] Bain also operates international affiliates Bain Capital Asia and Bain Capital
          India.

          Bain Capital Private Equity is made up of more than 250 investment professionals, including 38 managing directors operating
          from offices in Boston, Hong Kong, London, Mumbai, Munich, New York, Shanghai, and Tokyo, as of the beginning of 2011.

          Historically, Bain has primarily relied on private equity funds, pools of committed capital from pension funds, insurance
          companies, endowments, fund of funds, high net worth individuals, sovereign wealth funds and other institutional investors.
          Bain's own investment professionals are the largest single investor in each of its funds. From 1993, when Bain raised its first
          institutional fund through the beginning of 2012, Bain had completed fundraising for 11 funds with total investor commitments
          of over $38 billion, including its global private equity funds and separate funds focusing specifically on investments in Europe
          and Asia. Since 1998, each of Bain's global funds has invested alongside a coinvestment fund that invests only in certain larger
          transactions. The following is a summary of Bain's private equity funds raised from its inception through the beginning of
          2012:[124]

          Since 2001, Bain Capital Ventures' most notable investments include DoubleClick, LinkedIn,[128] Shopping.com, Taleo
          Corporation, MinuteClinic and SurveyMonkey.[129]

          Brookside Capital

          Brookside Capital is the public equity affiliate of Bain Capital. Established in October 1996, Brookside's primary objective is to
          invest in securities of publicly traded companies that offer opportunities to realize substantial long-term capital appreciation.
          Brookside employs a long/short equity strategy to reduce market risk in the portfolio[130]

          Sankaty Advisors

          Sankaty Advisors, the fixed income affiliate of Bain Capital, is one of the nation's leading private managers of high yield debt
          securities. With $15.7 billion of assets under management, Sankaty invests in a wide variety of securities, including leveraged
          loans, high-yield bonds, distressed securities, mezzanine debt, convertible bonds, structured products and equity investments.
          Sankaty has approximately 140 employees, including 80 investment professionals across offices in Boston, Chicago, New York
          and London.[131]

          Absolute Return Capital

          Absolute Return Capital (ARC) is the absolute return affiliate of Bain Capital managing approximately $1.2 billion of capital.
          Approximately one-third of the capital managed by ARC represents commitments from Bain investment professionals.
          Established in May 2004, ARC invests across fixed income, equity and commodity markets to produce attractive risk-adjusted
          returns while maintaining low correlation to traditional investments.[132]

          Appraisals and critiques
          Bain Capital's approach of applying consulting expertise to the companies it invested in became widely copied within the private
          equity industry.[14][133] University of Chicago Booth School of Business economist Steven Kaplan said in 2011 that the firm
          "came up with a model that was very successful and very innovative and that now everybody uses."[18]

          In his 2009 book The Buyout of America: How Private Equity Is Destroying Jobs and Killing the American Economy, Josh
          Kosman described Bain Capital as "notorious for its failure to plow profits back into its businesses," being the first large private-
          equity firm to derive a large fraction of its revenues from corporate dividends and other distributions. The revenue potential of
          this strategy, which may "starve" a company of capital,[134] was increased by a 1970s court ruling that allowed companies to
          consider the entire fair-market value of the company, instead of only their "hard assets", in determining how much money was
          available to pay dividends.[135] In at least some instances, companies acquired by Bain borrowed money in order to increase
          their dividend payments, ultimately leading to the collapse of what had been financially stable businesses.[51]

  • 2. Bain Capital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bain_Capital 1984 founding and early history Bain Capital was founded in 1984 by Bain & Company partners Mitt Romney, T. p y p yp y Coleman Andrews III, and Eric Kriss, after Bill Bain had offered Romney the chance to y head a new venture that would invest in companies and apply Bain's consulting techniques to improve operations.[5] In addition to the three founding partners, the early [5 team included Fraser Bullock, Robert F. White, Joshua Bekenstein, Adam Kirsch, and , Geoffrey S. Rehnert.[6] Romney initially had the titles of president[7] and managing y y p [ general partner[8][9] or managing partner.[10] He later became referred to as managing g p [8][9] p [10] [ [11] [12] [12] director or CEO as well. He was also the sole shareholder of the firm.[13] At the [1 beginning, the firm had fewer than ten employees.[14] When new employees were hired, they were generally in their twenties and top-ranked graduates from Stanford University or Harvard University, both of which Romney had attended.[15] In the face of skepticism from potential investors, Romney and his partners spent a year raising the $37 million in funds needed to start the new operation.[16][17][14][18] Early investors also included members of elite Salvadoran families who fled the country's civil war.[19] They and other wealthy Latin Americans invested $9 million primarily through offshore companies registered in Panama.[20] While Bain Capital was founded by Bain executives, the firm was not an affiliate or a division of Bain & Company but rather a completely separate company. Initially, the two firms shared the same offices - in an office tower at Copley Place in Boston[21] - and a similar approach to improving business operations. However, the two firms had put in place certain protections to avoid sharing information between the two companies and the Bain & Company executives had the ability to veto investments that posed potential conflicts of interest.[22] Bain Capital also provided an investment opportunity for partners of Bain & Company. Bain Capital's original $37 million fund was raised entirely from private individuals in mid-1984.[6] The firm initially gave a cut of its profits to Bain & Company, but Romney later persuaded Bill Bain to give that up.[23] The Bain Capital team was initially reluctant to invest its capital. By 1985, things were going poorly enough that Romney considered closing the operation, returning investors' money back to them, and having the partners go back to their old positions.[24] The In late 2011, Bain Capital moved its partners saw weak spots in so many potential deals that by 1986, very few had been headquarters to the John Hancock done.[25] At first, Bain Capital focused on venture capital opportunities.[25] One of Bain's Tower in Boston, Massachusetts. Bain earliest and most notable venture investments was in Staples, Inc., the office supply occupies 210,000 sq. ft. from the 36th retailer. In 1986, Bain provided $4.5 million to two supermarket executives, Leo Kahn to 43rd floors.[3] and Thomas G. Stemberg, to open an office supply supermarket in Brighton, Massachusetts.[26] The fast-growing retail chain went public in 1989;[27] by 1996, the company had grown to over 1,100 stores,[28] and by 2008, over 2,000 stores.[29] Bain Capital eventually reaped a nearly sevenfold return on its investment, and Romney sat on the Staples board of directors for over a decade. [14][18][25] Another very successful investment occurred in 1986 when $1 million was invested in medical equipment maker Calumet Coach, which eventually returned $34 million.[30] A few years later, Bain Capital made an investment in the technology research outfit the Gartner Group, which ended up returning a 16-fold gain.[30] Bain invested the $37 million of capital in its first fund in twenty companies and Bain Capital was an initial investor in Staples, by 1989 was generating an annualized return in excess of 50 percent. By the end Inc. of the decade, Bain's second fund, raised in 1987 had deployed $106 million into 13 investments.[31] As the firm began organizing around funds, each such fund was run by a specific general partnership – that included all Bain Capital executives as well as others – which in turn was 2 of 15 9/6/2012 9:18 PM
  • 3. Bain Capital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bain_Capital controlled by Bain Capital Inc., the management company that Romney had full ownership control of.[32] As CEO, Romney had the final approval say on every deal made.[33] 1990s Beginning in 1989, the firm, which began as a venture capital source investing in start-up companies, adjusted its strategy to focus on leveraged buyouts and growth capital investments in more mature companies.[34] Their model was to buy existing firms with money mostly borrowed against their assets, partner with existing management to apply Bain methodology to their operations (rather than the hostile takeovers practiced in other leverage buyout scenarios), and sell them off in a few years. [25][17] Existing CEOs were offered large equity stakes in the process, owing to Bain Capital's belief in the emerging agency theory that CEOs should be bound to maximizing shareholder value rather than other goals.[18] By the end of 1990, Bain had raised $175 million of capital and financed 35 companies with combined revenues of $3.5 billion.[35] In July 1992, Bain acquired Ampad (originally American Pad & Paper) from Mead Corporation, which had acquired the company in 1986. Mead which had been experiencing difficulties integrating Ampad's products into its existing product lines, generated a cash gain of $56 million on the sale.[36] Under Bain's ownership, the company enjoyed a significant growth in sales from $106.7 million in 1992 to $583.9 million in 1996, when the company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Under Bain's ownership, the company also made a number of acquisitions, including writing products company SCM in July 1994, brand names from the American Trading and Production Corporation in August 1995, WR Acquisition and the Williamhouse- Regency Division of Delaware, Inc. in October, 1995, Niagara Envelope Company, Inc. in 1996, and Shade/Allied, Inc. in February 1997.[37] Ampad's revenue began to decline in 1997 and the company laid off employees and closed production facilities to maintain profitability. However, the company filed for bankruptcy in 2001 and the assets were acquired in 2003 by Crescent Investments. Bain's ownership of Ampad, is estimated to have generated more than $100 million in profit for Bain.[38] In 1994, Bain acquired Totes, a producer of umbrellas and overshoes.[39] Three years later, Totes, under Bain’s ownership, acquired Isotoner, a producer of leather gloves.[40] Bain, together with Thomas H. Lee Partners, acquired Experian, the consumer credit reporting business of TRW, in 1996 for more than $1 billion. Formerly known as TRW's Information Systems and Services unit, Experian is one of the leading providers of credit reports on consumers and businesses in the US.[41] The company was sold to Great Universal Stores for $1.7 billion just months after being acquired.[42] Other notable Bain investments of the late 1990s included Sealy Corporation, the manufacturer of mattresses;[43] Alliance Laundry Systems;[44] Domino's Pizza[45] and Artisan Entertainment.[46] Much of the firm's profits was earned from a relatively small number of deals, with Bain Capital's overall success and failure rate being about even. One study of 68 deals that Bain Capital made up through the 1990s found that the firm lost money or broke even on 33 of them.[47] Another study that looked at the eight-year period following 77 deals during the same time found that in 17 cases the company went bankrupt or out of business, and in 6 cases Bain Capital lost all its investment. But 10 deals were very successful and represented 70 percent of the total profits.[48] Romney had two diversions from Bain Capital during the first half of the decade. From January 1991 to December 1992,[49][25] Romney served as the CEO of Bain & Company where he led the successful turnaround of the consulting firm (he remained managing general partner of Bain Capital during this time).[8][9] In November 1993, he took a leave of absence for his unsuccessful 1994 run for the U.S. Senate seat from Massachusetts; he returned the day after the election in November 1994.[50] [25][51] During that time, Ampad workers went on strike, and asked Romney to intervene; Bain Capital lawyers asked him not to get involved, although he did meet with the workers to tell them he had no position of active authority in the matter.[52][53] In 1994, Bain invested in Steel Dynamics, based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, a prosperous steel company that has grown to the fifth largest in the U.S.A, employs about 6,100 people, and produces carbon steel products with 2010 revenues of $6.3 billion on steel shipments of 5.3 million tons.[54] In 1993, Bain acquired the Armco Worldwide Grinding System steel plant in Kansas City, Missouri and merged it with its steel plant in Georgetown, South Carolina to form GST Steel. The Kansas City plant had a strike in 1997 and Bain closed the plant in 2001 laying off 750 workers when it went into bankruptcy. The South Carolina plant closed in 2003 but subsequently reopened under a different owner. At the time of its bankruptcy it reported $553.9 million in debts against $395.2 in assets. Bain reported $58.4 million in profits, the employee pension fund had a liability of $44 million.[55][56] [57][58] 3 of 15 9/6/2012 9:18 PM
  • 4. Bain Capital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bain_Capital Bain's investment in Dade Behring represented a significant investment in the medical diagnostics industry. In 1994, Bain, together with Goldman Sachs Capital Partners completed a carveout acquisition of Dade International,[59] the medical diagnostics division of Baxter International in a $440 million acquisition. Dade's private equity owners merged the company with DuPont's in vitro diagnostics business in May 1996 and subsequently with the Behring Diagnostics division of Hoechst AG in 1997.[60] Aventis, the successor of Hoechst, acquired 52% of the combined company.[61] In 1999, the company reported $1.3 billion of revenue and completed a $1.25 billion leveraged recapitalization that resulted in a payout to shareholders.[60] The dividend, taken together with other previous shareholder dividends resulted in an eightfold return on investment to Bain Capital and Goldman Sachs.[30][48] Revenues declined from 1999 through 2002 and despite attempts to cut costs through layoffs the company entered into bankruptcy in 2002. Following its restructuring, Dade Behring emerged from Bankruptcy in 2003 and continued to operate independently until 2007 when the business was acquired by Siemens Medical Solutions. Bain and Goldman lost their remaining stock in the company as part of the bankruptcy.[62] By the end of the decade, Bain Capital was on its way to being one of the top private equity firms in the nation,[23] having increased its number of partners from 5 to 18, having 115 employees overall, and having $4 billion under its management.[17][14] The firm's average annual return on investments was 113 percent.[16][63] It had made between 100 and 150 deals where it acquired and then sold a company.[30][47][48] 1999-2002: Romney departure and political legacy Romney took a paid leave of absence from Bain Capital in February 1999 when he became the head of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee for the 2002 Winter Olympics.[64][65] The decision caused turmoil at Bain Capital, with a power struggle ensuing.[66] Some partners left and founded the Audax Group and Golden Gate Capital.[33] Other partners threatened to leave, and there was a prospect of eight-figure lawsuits being filed.[66] Romney was worried that the firm might be destroyed, but the crisis ebbed.[66] Romney was not involved in day-to-day operations of the firm after starting the Olympics position.[67][68] Those were handled by a management committee, consisting of five of the fourteen remaining active partners with the firm.[33] However, according to some interviews and press releases during 1999, Romney said he was keeping a part-time function at Bain.[69][33] During his leave of absence, Romney continued to be listed in filings to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission[70] as "sole shareholder, sole director, Chief Executive Officer and President".[71][72] The SEC filings reflected the legal reality[73] and the ownership interest in the Bain Capital management company.[32][74] In practice, former Bain partners have stated that Romney's attention was mostly occupied by his Olympics position.[75][73] He did stay in regular contact with his partners, and traveled to meet with them several times, signing corporate and legal documents and paying attention to his own interests within the firm and to his departure negotiations.[74] Bain Capital Fund VI in 1998 was the last one Romney was involved in; investors were worried that with Romney gone, the firm would have trouble raising money for Bain Capital Fund VII in 2000, but in practice the $2.5 billion was raised without much trouble.[33] His former partners have said that Romney had no role in assessing other new investments after February 1999,[33] nor was he involved in directing the company’s investment funds.[32] Discussions over the final terms of Romney's departure dragged on during this time, with Romney negotiating for the best deal he could get and his continuing position as CEO and sole shareholder giving him the leverage to do so.[73][33] Although he had left open the possibility of returning to Bain after the Olympics, Romney made his crossover to politics permanent with an announcement in August 2001.[64] His separation from the firm was finalized in early 2002.[33][76] Romney negotiated a ten-year retirement agreement with Bain Capital[33] that allowed him to receive a passive profit share and interest as a retired partner in some Bain Capital entities, including buyout and Bain Capital investment funds, in exchange for his ownership in the management company.[77][78] Because the private equity business continued to thrive, this deal would bring him millions of dollars in annual income.[78] Romney was the first and last CEO of Bain Capital; since his departure became final, it has continued to be run by management committee.[33] Bain Capital itself, and especially its actions and investments during its first 15 years, came under press scrutiny as the result of Romney's 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns.[30][79][80] Bain Capital made as few comments about those actions and investments as possible, as even by the standards of the private equity industry it was known for its commitment towards secrecy about itself and privacy for its clients and investors.[80] Romney's leave of absence and the level of activity he had within the 4 of 15 9/6/2012 9:18 PM
  • 5. Bain Capital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bain_Capital firm during the 1999-2002 period also garnered attention.[81][82][83][84][85][86] Early 2000s Bain Capital began the new decade by closing on its seventh fund, Bain Capital Fund VII, with over $3.1 billion of investor commitments. The firm's most notable investments in 2000 included the $700 million acquisition of Datek, the online stock brokerage firm,[87] as well as the $305 million acquisition of KB Toys from Consolidated Stores.[88] Datek was ultimately merged with Ameritrade in 2002. KB Toys, which had been financially troubled since the 1990s as a result of increased pressure from national discount chains such as Wal-Mart and Target, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January 2004. Bain had been able to recover value on its investment through a dividend recapitalization in 2003.[89] In early 2001, Bain agreed to purchase a 30 percent stake, worth $600 million, in Huntsman Corporation, a leading chemical company owned by Jon In 2002, Bain acquired Burger King Huntsman, Sr., but the deal was never completed. [90][91] together with TPG Capital and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners. With a significant amount of committed capital in its new fund available for investment, Bain was one of a handful of private equity investors capable of completing large transactions in the adverse conditions of the early 2000s recession. In July 2002, Bain together with TPG Capital and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, announced the high profile $2.3 billion leveraged buyout of Burger King from Diageo.[92] However, in November the original transaction collapsed, when Burger King failed to meet certain performance targets. In December 2002, Bain and its co-investors agreed on a reduced $1.5 billion purchase price for the investment.[93] The Bain 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.[94] In late 2002, Bain remained active acquiring Houghton Mifflin Company for $1.28 billion, together with Thomas H. Lee Partners and The Blackstone Group. Houghton Mifflin and Burger King represented two of the first large club deals, completed since the collapse of the Dot-com bubble.[95] In November 2003, Bain completed an investment in Warner Music Group. In 2004 Bain acquired the Dollarama chain of dollar stores, based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and operating stores in the provinces of Eastern Canada for $1.05 billion CAD. In March 2004, Bain acquired Brenntag Group from Deutsche Bahn AG (Exited in 2006; sold to BC Partners for $4B). In August 2003, Bain acquired a 50% interest in Bombardier Inc.'s recreational products division, along with the Bombardier family and the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, and created Bombardier Recreational Products or BRP. Bain and the 2000s buy-out boom In 2004 a consortium comprising KKR, Bain Capital and real estate development company Vornado Realty Trust announced the $6.6 billion acquisition of Toys "R" Us, the toy retailer. A month earlier, Cerberus Capital Management, made a $5.5 billion offer for both the toy and baby supplies businesses.[96] The Toys 'R' Us buyout was one of the largest in several years.[97] Following this transaction, by the end of 2004 and in 2005, major buyouts were once again becoming common and market observers were stunned by the leverage levels and financing terms obtained by financial sponsors in their buyouts.[98] The following y g year, in 2005, Bain was one of seven private equity firms involved in the p buyout of SunGard in a transaction valued at $11.3 billion. Bain's partners in the acquisition B p Bain led a consortium in the were Silver Lake Partners, TPG Capital, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, Kohlberg Kravis buyout of Toys "R" Us in 2004 Roberts, Providence Equity Partners, and The 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 g y g y gy company in history, a distinction it would cede to the buyout of Freescale Semiconductor. The SunGard transaction is also p y y y notable in the number of firms involved in the transaction, the largest club deal completed to that p g l p point. The involvement of seven firms in the consortium was criticized by investors in private equity who considered cross-holdings among firms to be 5 of 15 9/6/2012 9:18 PM

At the time of its announcement, the HCA buyout would be the first of several to set new records for the largest buyout, eclipsing the 1989 buyout of RJR Nabisco. It would later be surpassed by the buyouts of Equity Office Properties and TXU.[102] In August 2006, Bain was part of the consortium, together with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, Silver Lake Partners and AlpInvest Partners, that acquired a controlling 80.1% share of semiconductors unit of Philips for €6.4 billion. The new company, based in the Netherlands, was renamed NXP Semiconductors.[103][104] During the buyout boom, Bain was active in the acquisition of various retail businesses.[105] In January 2006, Bain announced the acquisition of Burlington Coat Bain led the buyout of Dunkin' Brands Factory, a discount retailer operating 367 department stores in 42 states, in a $2 billion for $2.4 billion in 2005 buyout transaction.[106] Six months later, in October 2006, Bain and The Blackstone Group acquired Michaels Stores, the largest arts and crafts retailer in North America in a $6.0 billion leveraged buyout. Bain and Blackstone narrowly beat out Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and TPG Capital in an auction for the company.[107] In June 2007, Bain agreed to acquire HD Supply, the wholesale construction supply business of Home Depot for $10.3 billion.[108] Bain, along with partners Carlyle Group and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, would later negotiate a lower p g p y p y g price ($8.5 billion) when the initial stages of the subprime mortgage crisis caused lenders to seek to renegotiate the terms of the ) acquisition financing.[109] Just days after the announcement of the HD Supply deal, on June 27, Bain announced the acquisition [1 of Guitar Center, the leading musical equipment retailer in the U.S. Bain paid $1.9 billion, plus $200 million in assumed debt, representing a 26% premium to the stock's closing price prior to the announcement.[110] Bain also acquired Edcon Limited, which operates Edgars Department Stores in South Africa and Zimbabwe for 25 billion-rand ($3.5 billion) in February 2007.[111] Other investments during the buyout boom included: Bavaria Yachtbau, acquired for €1.3 billion in July 2007[112] as well as Sensata Technologies, acquired from Texas Instruments in 2006 for approximately $3 billion.[113] Since 2008 In the wake of the closure of the credit markets in 2007 and 2008, Bain managed to close only a small number of sizable transactions. In July 2008, Bain, together with NBC Universal and The Blackstone Group agreed to purchase The Weather Channel from Landmark Communications.[114][115] Subsequent investments include, but are not limited to: July 2008 – Bain, together with Thomas H.

Bain Capital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bain_Capital Bain Capital Private Equity Bain Capital Private Equity has raised ten funds and invested in more than 250 companies. The private equity activity includes leveraged buyouts and growth capital in a wide variety of industries.[122] Bain began investing in Europe in 1989 through its London-based affiliate Bain Capital Europe.[123] Bain also operates international affiliates Bain Capital Asia and Bain Capital India. Bain Capital Private Equity is made up of more than 250 investment professionals, including 38 managing directors operating from offices in Boston, Hong Kong, London, Mumbai, Munich, New York, Shanghai, and Tokyo, as of the beginning of 2011. Historically, Bain has primarily relied on private equity funds, pools of committed capital from pension funds, insurance companies, endowments, fund of funds, high net worth individuals, sovereign wealth funds and other institutional investors. Bain's own investment professionals are the largest single investor in each of its funds. From 1993, when Bain raised its first institutional fund through the beginning of 2012, Bain had completed fundraising for 11 funds with total investor commitments of over $38 billion, including its global private equity funds and separate funds focusing specifically on investments in Europe and Asia. Since 1998, each of Bain's global funds has invested alongside a coinvestment fund that invests only in certain larger transactions. The following is a summary of Bain's private equity funds raised from its inception through the beginning of 2012:[124] Fund Vintage Committed Year Capital ($m) Bain Capital Fund IV 1993 $300 Bain Capital Fund V 1995 $500 Bain Capital Fund VI 1998 $1,400[125] Bain Capital Fund VII 2000 $3,117[125] Bain Capital Fund VIII 2004 $4,250[125] Bain Capital Fund VIII-E (Europe) 2004 $1,015 Bain Capital Fund IX 2006 $10,000[125] Bain Capital Europe III 2008 € 3,500 Bain Capital Asia 2008 $1,000 Bain Capital Fund X 2008 $11,800[125] Bain Capital Asia II 2011 $2,000 Bain Capital Ventures Main article: Bain Capital Ventures Bain Capital Ventures is the venture capital arm of Bain Capital, focused on seed through late-stage growth equity, investing in business services, consumer, healthcare, internet & mobile, and software companies.

Established in October 1996, Brookside's primary objective is to invest in securities of publicly traded companies that offer opportunities to realize substantial long-term capital appreciation. Brookside employs a long/short equity strategy to reduce market risk in the portfolio[130] Sankaty Advisors Sankaty Advisors, the fixed income affiliate of Bain Capital, is one of the nation's leading private managers of high yield debt securities.

Sankaty has approximately 140 employees, including 80 investment professionals across offices in Boston, Chicago, New York and London.[131] Absolute Return Capital Absolute Return Capital (ARC) is the absolute return affiliate of Bain Capital managing approximately $1.2 billion of capital. Approximately one-third of the capital managed by ARC represents commitments from Bain investment professionals. Established in May 2004, ARC invests across fixed income, equity and commodity markets to produce attractive risk-adjusted returns while maintaining low correlation to traditional investments.[132] Appraisals and critiques Bain Capital's approach of applying consulting expertise to the companies it invested in became widely copied within the private equity industry.[14][133] University of Chicago Booth School of Business economist Steven Kaplan said in 2011 that the firm "came up with a model that was very successful and very innovative and that now everybody uses."[18] In his 2009 book The Buyout of America: How Private Equity Is Destroying Jobs and Killing the American Economy, Josh Kosman described Bain Capital as "notorious for its failure to plow profits back into its businesses," being the first large private- equity firm to derive a large fraction of its revenues from corporate dividends and other distributions. The revenue potential of this strategy, which may "starve" a company of capital,[134] was increased by a 1970s court ruling that allowed companies to consider the entire fair-market value of the company, instead of only their "hard assets", in determining how much money was available to pay dividends.[135] In at least some instances, companies acquired by Bain borrowed money in order to increase their dividend payments, ultimately leading to the collapse of what had been financially stable businesses.[51] Investments gallery Selected Bain Capital investments 8 of 15 9/6/2012 9:18 PM
