R1 RCM, a large publicly traded technology company that helps hospitals and physicians collect money from insurers and patients, may be going private.
Private equity firm New Mountain Capital has offered to purchase R1 for $13.75 per share, or roughly $5.8 billion in cash, according to new financial disclosures filed Monday. New Mountain Capital is R1’s second-largest investor, owning nearly one-third of the company’s shares.

In response to the offer, R1 asked New Mountain Capital to “engage in good faith discussions” with its largest investor — a partnership between Ascension, the large Catholic hospital system, and private equity firm TowerBrook Capital Partners. New Mountain Capital has since held several in-person meetings with Ascension and TowerBrook throughout February, but maintained its original offer for R1. No deal has been finalized yet.
