FEDERAL STREET ACQUISITION CORP. TO COMBINE WITH UNIVERSAL HOSPITAL SERVICES

Federal Street Acquisition Corp. (“FSAC”) announced early this morning they have entered into a definitive merger agreement with Universal Hospital Services, Inc.

Under the terms of the agreement, FSAC and UHS will combine under a new holding company to be named Agiliti, Inc.  The purchase price for the acquisition implies an initial enterprise value for the combined company of approximately $1.74 billion:

  • 11.6x UHS’s forecasted 2018 Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $150 million
