Two years into its private-equity ownership, revenue-cycle outsourcing firm Ensemble Health Partners filed proposed initial public offering paperwork Wednesday.
The Form S-1 Ensemble Health Partners filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission does not disclose how many shares it plans to offer or their price range. The company set a proposed maximum offering price of $100 million, although that number largely acts as a placeholder. The company plans to list its Class A common stock under the ticker symbol ENSB on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
Bon Secours Mercy Health announced in May 2019 it was selling a 51% equity ownership stake in Ensemble Health Partners to Golden Gate Capital, a private equity firm. The deal held that Cincinnati-based Bon Secours Mercy Health would remain a minority owner, as well as a commercial partner.
Revenue-cycle vendors have been a hot investment area for private equity firms, with the stronger candidates being those that offer an end-to-end product such as Ensemble Health Partners.
