dentalcorp Holdings Ltd. (“Dentalcorp” or the “Company”) (TSX: DNTL) today announced the successful completion of the previously-announced statutory plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) whereby a newly formed acquisition vehicle affiliated with GTCR LLC (“GTCR”) acquired all of Dentalcorp’s issued and outstanding subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares (collectively, the “Shares”) (other than the Rollover Shares (as defined below)) for C$11.00 per Share in cash. Graham Rosenberg, the Company’s Founder, Chairman and CEO, Nate Tchaplia, the Company’s President and CFO, and certain of the Company’s partner dentists have also rolled all or a portion of their Shares (collectively, the “Rollover Shares”) into the capital structure of a different newly formed acquisition vehicle affiliated with GTCR that, indirectly, holds ownership of 100% of the shares in Dentalcorp’s capital, at a value per Share equal to C$11.00 per Share (collectively with the Arrangement, the “Transaction”). The Transaction valued Dentalcorp at approximately C$2.2 billion on an equity value basis and C$3.3 billion on an enterprise value basis.
