MultiPlan Corporation to Acquire Discovery Health Partners

MultiPlan Corporation to Acquire Discovery Health Partners

Accelerates Growth and Diversifies Service Offerings

Expands Payment Integrity Services and Adds a Revenue Integrity Service Line

Deepens MultiPlan’s Penetration within the Government Market

Acquisition is the Second Under MultiPlan’s Enhance-Extend-Expand Strategy

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
MultiPlan Corporation (“MultiPlan” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MPLN), a leading value-added provider of data analytics and technology-enabled end-to-end cost management solutions to the U.S. healthcare industry, today announced an agreement to acquire Discovery Health Partners (Discovery), an analytics and technology company offering healthcare revenue and payment integrity services, for about $155 million plus transaction costs. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of Q1 2021, subject to satisfaction of closing conditions including customary regulatory approvals including expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. MultiPlan expects to fund the transaction from cash on hand.

Discovery works with about 80 healthcare payor customers in the Medicare Advantage, Medicaid and commercial markets to improve the integrity of their payment and revenue processes. Discovery solutions will complement and extend MultiPlan’s payment integrity offerings, spanning the claims life cycle to ensure the legitimacy of a payor’s payment requests as well as its premium collections. Together, the companies will offer a full suite of solutions that analyze and impact the right eligibility and claims at the right time in order to be paid correctly the first time.

“Waste in the U.S. healthcare system accounts for about a quarter of total healthcare spending and presents a tremendous opportunity to deliver affordability, fairness and efficiency to the industry,” said Mark Tabak, MultiPlan Chairman and CEO. “This acquisition of Discovery will extend the reach of our program integrity solutions not only across the claim value chain but also across multiple payor lines of business. We look forward to joining forces with Discovery to deepen our value to healthcare payors and the healthcare industry as a whole.”

The second acquisition under MultiPlan’s Enhance-Extend-Expand strategy, Discovery will increase the Company’s payment integrity footprint and further diversify its revenues. It also delivers on two chief targets of the Extend strategy component: in-network claims and the government market. Once the acquisition is completed, the number of commercial and government payors using MultiPlan services for in-network claims will increase markedly.

“Discovery’s consultative approach to solving each customer’s unique challenges is powered by a data-driven technology platform, advanced analytics, and deep healthcare expertise that blend well with MultiPlan’s,” said Jason Brown, CEO of Discovery. “We could not have found a better company with which to scale our value, continue our record of innovative solution development, and create a lasting positive force against healthcare system waste.”

Advisors

BofA Securities served as financial advisor and Kirkland & Ellis LLP served as legal counsel to MultiPlan for this transaction. TripleTree, LLC acted as the exclusive financial advisor and Goodwin Procter LLP served as legal counsel to Discovery.

About MultiPlan

MultiPlan is committed to helping healthcare payors manage the cost of care, improve their competitiveness and inspire positive change. Leveraging sophisticated technology, data analytics and a team rich with industry experience, MultiPlan interprets clients’ needs and customizes innovative solutions that combine its payment integrity, network-based and analytics-based services.

SEOUL, South Korea–(BUSINESS WIRE)–EuBiologics (KOSDAQ: 206650), a South Korean biotech company, announced on Jan 21st that EuCorVac-19, a COVID-19 vaccine candidate developed by EuBiologics, was approved to conduct Phase I/II clinical trials by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, immediately entering into the Phase I trial.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210121005311/en/

EuBiologics (KOSDAQ: 206650) got an IND approval for Phase I/II clinical trial of a COVID-19 vaccine candidate EuCorVac-19 in Korea, immediately entering into the Phase I trial. The EuCorVac-19 under development is a safe vaccine formulated with the coronavirus spike protein using recombinant protein technology and with a potent adjuvant. EuCorVac-19 is a liquid injection in glass vials and can be stored and distributed at refrigerated temperatures which can take advantage of the general distribution system for biopharmaceuticals.

The Phase I trial is designed for 50 healthy adults aged from 19 to 50 years old and will be conducted at ‘the Catholic University of Korea Eunpyeong St. Mary’s Hospital’ evaluating safety, tolerance and immunogenicity. The Phase II trial will be subsequently carried out for 230 adults aged from 19 to 75 years old in four hospitals located in Seoul metropolitan area in order to evaluate dosage and vaccine immunogenicity.

EuCorVac-19 under development by EuBiologics is a safe vaccine formulated with the coronavirus spike protein using the recombinant protein technology and with a potent adjuvant, similar to the other virus vaccines already licensed in the world. EuCorVac-19 is a liquid injection in glass vials and can be stored and distributed at refrigerated temperatures which can take advantage of the general distribution system for biopharmaceuticals.

A company official said, “EuCorVac-19 is designed to induce a rapid antibody response, a high level of neutralizing antibody and excellent cellular immune response by combining both SNAP technology of POP Biotechnologies that EuBiologics has invested and EulMT in-licensed from Korea Institute of Science and Technology. EuCorVac-19 has demonstrated superior immune response against SARS-CoV-2 in the animal model, therefore, we expect to see the safety, tolerance and immunogenicity demonstrated in the Phase I/II trials.”

EuBiologics plans to consult with the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in order to progress the Phase III clinical trial later this year based on the interim results of the Phase I/II trial available no later than June 2021 and receive an emergency use approval of EuCorVac-19, as early as possible. EuBiologics also has a GMP accredited facility which can manufacture recombinant protein antigens and adjuvants, with confidence to provide competitive pricing.

SALT LAKE CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PolarityTE, Inc. (Nasdaq: PTE), a biotechnology company developing regenerative tissue products and biomaterials, announced today it has completed target enrollment of 100 subjects in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating SkinTE® plus standard of care (SOC) versus SOC alone for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). PolarityTE plans to report topline data via press release and presentation at the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) Spring 2021 to be held May 12-16, 2021, barring any unforeseen scheduling or other disruptions due to COVID-19. Details for the SAWC 2021 Virtual Conference can be found at https://www.sawcspring.com/.

The primary endpoint of this Diabetic Foot Ulcer Trial (NCT03881254) is a comparison of the percent of index ulcers closed at 12 weeks, and additional details regarding the trial can be found at https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study/NCT03881254.

David Seaburg, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The completion of target enrollment for this DFU RCT is an important milestone for PTE and a step toward building what we believe will be additional scientific evidence to support the potential benefits SkinTE may offer patients suffering from debilitating diabetic foot ulcers.”

Nik Sopko, MD, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer, commented, “Enrollment completion of this trial in the midst of a global pandemic highlights the tremendous efforts by trial investigators and a dedicated PolarityTE team.

The homes at Willow Wood Place showcase popular design characteristics like spacious lofts, gourmet kitchens overlooking expansive great rooms, and master suites with walk-in closets. The community offers one- and two-story floor plans that feature up to five bedrooms and three baths, and range in size from approximately 1,200 to 2,600 square feet. Future community amenities include a park, playground and open green space.

“Willow Wood Place’s desirable location provides easy access to major roadways for a short commute to major employment centers throughout the region,” said Brett Dietz, President of KB Home’s Houston division. “The new community is also situated within the Tomball Independent School District, and all zoned schools are less than two miles away. As with other KB Home communities, Willow Wood Place provides home shoppers the opportunity to purchase a new KB home that can be personalized to reflect their lifestyle and needs.”

KB Home stands out from other homebuilders as the company gives homebuyers exceptional choice and control. KB Home starts by offering a wide variety of homes at an affordable price. From there, the builder gives buyers the ability to personalize their homes from homesites and floor plans to design features. The KB Home team works hand in hand with homeowners every step of the way so they have a real partner in the process.

Every KB home is designed to be ENERGY STAR® certified thanks to the quality construction techniques and materials utilized that ultimately deliver significant savings on utility bills compared to used homes. Additionally, all new KB homes are designed to deliver an enhanced indoor environment and include high performance ventilation systems, low- or zero-VOC products and other features guided by the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Indoor airPLUS standards.

The Willow Wood Place sales office and model homes are open for private in-person tours by appointment, and walk-in visits are welcome. Homebuyers also have the flexibility to arrange a live video tour with a sales counselor. Pricing begins from the $210,000s.
