BRENTWOOD, Tenn., January 28, 2025 – Surgery Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGRY) (“Surgery Partners” or the “Company”), a leading short-stay surgical facility owner and operator, today announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) received a non-binding proposal, dated January 27, 2025, from Bain Capital Private Equity, LP (“Bain Capital”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Surgery Partners not already owned by Bain Capital for a cash consideration of $25.75 per share (the “Bain Capital Proposal”). Bain Capital and its affiliates own approximately 39% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, based on the Schedule 13D/A filing dated January 28, 2025.
