Healthcare firm Premier to go private in $2.6 billion deal
Reuters reports that Premier Inc. has agreed to be acquired by an affiliate of Patient Square Capital in a deal valued at approximately $2.6 billion that would take the healthcare technology and services company private. Under the agreement, Patient Square Capital will pay $28.25 per share in cash, with the transaction expected to close in the first quarter of 2026 pending regulatory and shareholder approvals. Premier leadership said the move to private ownership will provide additional financial flexibility as the company continues supporting hospitals and health systems with supply chain, data and technology solutions.
