Filing language.
Direct excerpts from acquisition disclosures and strategy sections: the verbs the buyer chose, in the filings they signed.
“the Company expanded the capabilities of its platform into data and decision science services through the acquisition of Benefits Science LLC ("BST"), a next generation, healthcare-focused data and advanced analytics company”
“This platform has enabled the Company to pursue a strategy of developing or acquiring new product and service offerings and swiftly and efficiently bringing them to scale.”
“Many organizations in the insurance industry are consolidating, which could also result in the loss of one or more of our significant clients.”
“"Liquidity Event" are to any transaction or series or related transactions involving (i) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Holdings on a consolidated basis to a person, or group of persons, other than (A) the H&F Investors and their affiliates or (B) a distribution of IPO Corporation to the unitholders of Holdings as part of an IPO Conversion (as defined in the unitholders agreement) or following an initial public offering, (ii) a merger, reorganization, consolidation or other similar corporate transaction in which the outstanding voting securities of Holdings are exchanged for securities of the successor entity and the holders of the voting securities of Holdings immediately prior to such transaction do not own a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the successor entity immediately upon completion of such transaction or (iii) the direct or indirect sale (whether by sale, merger or otherwise) of all or a majority of the voting securities of Holdings to a person, or group of persons, other than the H&F Investors and their affiliates;”
“To the extent that these consolidation trends do not cause the loss of clients, we could nevertheless encounter greater client concentration as our clients become parts of larger organizations, potentially resulting in overreliance on a few key clients, decreased flexibility, increased vulnerability to client churn and similar challenges.”
