 PROFILE
Thomas H. Lee is a kinder, gentler leveraged buyout firm: It only pursues companies that want to be pursued. Typical acquisition targets are middle-market companies with growth potential; after the buy, Thomas H. Lee builds up the company by providing funds for strategic expansion. It then either resells the company (as it did Snapple to Quaker Oats for a handsome profit in 1994) or takes it public (as it did Rayovac in 1997). Fund manager Putnam Investments teamed with Thomas H. Lee to launch a series of investment funds and owns about 20% of the firm.
