NEW YORK – Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and Texas Pacific Group are set to offer about US$32 billion to buy Texas power company TXU Corp., in what would be the largest private equity deal ever, a source familiar with the situation said Friday.
Other sources are saying the bid could be as high as $45 billion.
According to one source, the terms have not been finalized, but the private equity firms could offer about $70 per share for TXU. That would be a nearly 17 percent premium for Texas' biggest power company, whose shares closed at around $60 on Friday.
