http://www.silverlake.com/index.phpSilver Lake believes that our ability to source and structure large-scale private equity transactions in the technology arena as well as to thoroughly evaluate and understand businesses, partner with management teams, and add value to portfolio companies is unmatched by other private equity firms investing in the technology industry.We are very selective in the transactions we pursue as we spend a considerable amount of time trying to add value to our portfolio companies. Consequently, we like to invest large amounts of capital in each of our transactions. Our "sweet spot" is equity investments of $100-$500 million. Typically, these businesses have enterprise values between $100 million and $10 billion or more.On September 29, 2006, an investor group including Silver Lake, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, Bain Capital, Apax Partners, AlpInvest and other co-investors acquired 80.1% of NXP from Royal Philips Electronics.
