The international private equity firm, KKR, has announced today its plans to go public on the New York Stock Exchange by the end of 2008. The Firm, which is valued from $12 billion to $15 billion, will acquire its publicly-traded Amsterdam investment fund, KKR Private Equity Investors, as an alternative to selling new shares.
KKR is considered the father of leveraged buyouts and is famous for its takeover of RJR Nabisco.
