The firm noted it was announced that Premier entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by an affiliate of Patient Square Capital for $28.25 per share or a transaction value of roughly $2.6 billion. The deal has been unanimously approved by Premier's Board of Directors and Canaccord sees the transaction as favorable to shareholders as the stock lacks near-term catalysts.
