Rochelle Park, NJ – DAK, a leading investment bank specializing in middle-market mergers and acquisitions worldwide, announces that its client, Focus Forward Skilled Care, LLC (“FFSC”), headquartered in Orlando, FL, has been sold to Sonas Home Health Care.

DAK served as the exclusive investment banker and financial advisor to FFSC, initiating and managing the entire transaction process. DAK conducted a deep search identifying a number of exceptional strategic acquirers, of which Sonas Home Health Care emerged as the superior partner to bring these two leading companies together.

FFSC is a multi-site, pediatric home health care company that provides individualized, in-home care for medically complex children and infants throughout Central Florida, Tampa Bay, and the I-4 Corridor, making it possible for them to stay where they belong — at home with the people who love them most.

Sonas Home Health Care will continue to work with FFSC founders Kat Sullivan and Thomas Messina as they look to grow the combined company and improve the already-high standard of care provided to its at-risk, pediatric patient population.

The founders of Focus Forward Skilled have created a superior company, focused on providing both a high standard of care and strong patient experience while innovating revolutionary solutions for a high-acuity pediatric patient population. With this transaction, they will have the opportunity to extend their services to an even broader patient community by gaining a strategic partner to accelerate the company’s growth,” stated Melvyn Threatt-Peters II, Vice President, who alongside Alan Scharfstein, President, and Alexander Slawinski, Analyst, executed the transaction.

VCI – Emergency Vehicle Specialists recapitalized by Tightrope Capital & NewSpring Capital

VCI is the preeminent full lifecycle sales and service provider of emergency ambulance solutions to first aid squads, EMS organizations, fire departments, hospital organizations, municipalities, and private medical transport companies in the Mid-Atlantic Region. VCI was recapitalized by private equity firms Tightrope Capital Partners and NewSpring Capital.

DAK led a competitive, sell-side process for VCI, generating multiple offers from a wide range of strategic buyers and financial sponsors. By positioning the combination of VCI’s market leadership position, comprehensive services offering, strong manufacturer relationships, and robust backlog, DAK achieved an outstanding outcome for the company’s shareholders.

The acquisition provides the shareholders of VCI an opportunity to accelerate its growth strategy by expanding its core ambulance business, building out the value-added segments of conversions and remounts, implementing operational improvements, and pursuing acquisitions with the help of its new partners. Tightrope and NewSpring have an opportunity to leverage VCI’s strong management team and operating platform to build a multi-regional player in emergency ambulance solutions.
