The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter, the companies said in a statement Tuesday, confirming an earlier Bloomberg News report. Financial terms weren’t disclosed. A deal could the business at more than $4 billion, people familiar with the matter said earlier.
EQT is exiting the business following a sale process over the past couple months, the people said, asking not to be identified because the matter is private. Barclays Plc and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. advised Press Ganey on the deal.
Press Ganey provides surveys that hospitals use to measure patient satisfaction and the quality of care. It also helps health-care providers analyze and improve their services. EQT took the company private in 2016 in a $2.3 billion deal. The company has about $1.2 billion in debt, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
