Change Healthcare Launches IPO

Nashville, Tennessee (June 27, 2019)—Health care technology company Change Healthcare Inc. launched its initial public offering (IPO) on Thursday, June 27 with a starting price of $13 per share for 42,857,142 shares of common stock and $50 per share for its concurrent offering of 5 million of its 6% tangible equity units.

Change Healthcare was created in 2017 by Change Healthcare Holdings, Inc. and McKesson Corporation, which rolled most of its technology solutions into the new company. It provides solutions for revenue and payment cycle management and clinical information exchange for health care and has 90 locations worldwide. About a year ago it sold its homecare and hospice products to the health IT company Netsmart.

“Congratulations to Change Healthcare on this significant milestone in the company’s history. For McKesson, this is an important next step in our efforts to unlock value for McKesson shareholders from our investment in the Change Healthcare business,” said McKesson CEO Brian Tyler.
