KKR - TXU Acquisition

KKR and TXU are deeply connected in their managements’ roots, therefore it can be expected that the acquisition will transpire without many complications.

After using IntellectSpace FN to search for common connections between Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co and TXU, the following common connections were revealed:

• Henry Kravis (Director, KKR) and Lawrence E Fouraker (advisor and former Director of TXU) are both Board Members for Gillette Co. 
• Marc S Lipshultz and Lawrence Fouraker have both graduated from Harvard Business School.
• Edwin L Artzt (Senior Advisor, KKR) and James E Oesterreicher (Director and Beneficial Owner, TXU) have both held positions at the Business Roundtable.
