Under the terms of the agreement, FSAC and UHS will combine under a new holding company to be named Agiliti, Inc.  The purchase price for the acquisition implies an initial enterprise value for the combined company of approximately $1.74 billion:

  • 11.6x UHS’s forecasted 2018 Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $150 million

The amount of stock consideration may be decreased (and cash consideration increased) to the extent of cash available following cash payments required by the Merger Agreement, including payments to any FSAC public stockholders electing redemption of their FSAC Class A common stock.

The remainder of the merger consideration will be paid in cash.
