Insights
Owens & Minor sells P&HS for cash and equity, restructures financing, and rebrands.
The company has closed the sale of its P&HS business for $375 million in cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments, plus rollover units in the buyer’s parent. This reshapes the portfolio by removing the P&HS segment and adding a minority interest in the new owner. The company will also provide transition services, which may smooth the handover operationally.
On the financing side, an amended receivables purchase agreement permits sales of eligible accounts receivable up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $150 million on a limited‑recourse basis. These will be treated as sales under ASC 860, so the receivables come off the consolidated balance sheet while the company continues servicing them. Certain former subsidiaries have been released from obligations under term loan and revolver credit agreements and under two bond indentures, aligning guarantees with the new structure.
Governance and leadership are also evolving. Two executives tied to the P&HS business have left their roles, and the CFO, Jonathan A. Leon, is now also principal accounting officer. The board amended the executive deferred compensation plan to terminate participation for divested entities and to distribute amounts credited to affected employees, including Andrew G. Long, within 12 months following the transactions. The corporate name will change to Accendra Health, Inc., with NYSE trading under “ACH” expected to begin on January 2, 2026.
