Fox Paine company history timeline

1996

In November 1996, after 12 years at KKR, Fox decided to open his own shop.

1998

In April 1998, Fox Paine completed fundraising for Fox Paine Capital Fund, also known as "Fund I," an investment fund with $500 million of investor commitments.

However, by early 2001, Fox Paine had succeeded in raising $1 billion for the fund.

2005

In 2005, the two partners disagreed about the raising of a third investment fund.

2007

By August 2007, the situation had soured to such a degree that the partners resorted to litigation to settle a number of disputes.

Eventually, on August 27, 2007, Fox sued Paine in Delaware Chancery Court for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and misappropriation of company assets.

Later, in August 2007, Fox attempted to hire his own CFO, but Paine argued that such a hiring should be made jointly.

In December 2007, Fox and Paine reached an out-of-court settlement under which Fox retained the use of the Fox Paine name and control over the investments in Fox Paine Fund II, and ceded his interest in Fox Paine Fund III, as well as his remaining legacy interest in Fox Paine Fund I, to Paine.

2012

In August 2012, the former partners finally reached a definitive out-of-court settlement.
