OBJECTIVES

The Company elected to focus on a select group of buyers which had a deep understanding of the business and would be able to execute quickly on a transaction with minimal business distractions.
RESULTS
Matrix elected to partner with Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe (“Welsh Carson”) due its successful track-record as an investor in healthcare services and managed care along with its deep operating partner expertise and relationships.The transaction was a success for both Matrix’s exiting shareholders and the management team as they prepare the Company for its next phase of growth with their new partner Welsh Carson.
