Buck Acquisition Corp., which is controlled by Kohlberg Kravis
Roberts & Co., unveiled the financing plan for its takeover of Dollar
General Corp. Once the deal closes, Dollar General will have about $5.4
billion of outstanding debt and retain about $180 million cash on its balance
sheet. KKR is investing about $2.8 billion equity in its acquisition of the
Goodlettsville, Tenn.-based discount retailer. In March, KKR announced its
takeover of Dollar General, the pioneer behind the dollar store concept. The
deal is expected to close in the third quarter.—Luisa Beltran
