RJR Nabisco
Also known as R.J.R. Nabisco
What it does
RJR Nabisco was the tobacco-and-food group acquired by KKR in a landmark leveraged buyout completed in stages in 1989. The historical Nabisco timeline records subsequent asset disposals intended to reduce debt.
This is a historical entity profile, not a claim that RJR Nabisco continues as an independent operating company. The linked SEC record identifies both RJR Nabisco Inc. and its separate holding company; it is not a present-day company-operated website.
KKR’s path runs from RJR Nabisco’s debt-heavy takeover to a garage-door sale that paid employees alongside investors. Insurance, capital markets and longer-lived holdings now make the public company much broader than its original buyout funds.
