Executing A Successful Transaction

A large single-specialty physician group needed help evaluating merger and acquisition options with a larger multi-specialty group. Challenges to be considered included:

• Blending of cultures
• Creating a win-win post transaction
• Economic return assistance
• Governance and leadership
• Matching post-transaction goals and objectives

Coker created an environment that promoted an M&A transaction, found and emphasized the reasons to complete the deal, focused on the important matters, and recognized when a deal was probable. M&A transactions with healthcare providers require a deep understanding of the delicate characteristics of these entities. Our experience completing these initiatives allows for proven processes and efficient facilitation between healthcare providers to support their M&A efforts. We worked to:

• Evaluate and asses the strategic options
• Address leadership and governance structure
• Review deal economics and related financials
• Provide quality of earnings and valuation services
• Negotiate key terms between various stakeholders
• Consummate the deal
