Envision Healthcare Holdings filed with regulators to acquire $100 million in a common stock initial public offering. Envision is the parent company of Emergency Medical Services Corp (EMSC), the United States' largest provider of ambulance services.
The EMSC previously selected banks to start an initial public offering worth $750 million according to a report by Reuters last April.
Last month, Emergency Medical Services Corp. renamed itself as Envision Healthcare Corp.
Colorado-based company Greenwood Village is backed by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLC, a private equity frim.
EMSC was formed when Onex Corp, a private equity firm from Canada, gained ownership of American Medical Response and EmCare. AMR is a transportation company focused on ambulance and medical services. EMSC went public during the merger of AMR and EmCare. Clayton, Dubilier & Rice priatized the firm in 2011 for almost $3 billion, while inheriting a $300 million debt.
The filing of the company's initial public offering did not disclose any figures regarding the price or amount of shares.
