First Surgical Partners Intends to Go Private

First Surgical Partners, an ambulatory surgery center and acute care hospital company, today announced that it is currently considering going private, according to a Daily Finance report.

Under the transaction, the company could cease to be a public reporting company, and its shares would no longer be traded on any exchange and/or quotation system. To this end, the company previously elected Douglas Cole and Michael Toups to its board of directors and appointed them to a special committee created for the sole purpose of exploring this transaction.

The special committee determined that a going-private transaction is the best option for the company and its stockholders and engaged a financial advisor to provide both a valuation of the company and a fairness opinion in connection with a going-private transaction.
