RE:the robust pipelineThat is exactly how I interprete the deal.
Thing is - CRH recovers expenses for training etc for these physicians to add procedures to their existing clinics. New revenue source for Drs and potential new Market for CRH.In on the ground floor with future option of equity purchase - AFTER March 15th, 2018
I think this is really smart way t get into new markets, without costing an arm and a leg.
Supplements the acquisitions program and should gives growth at a lower cost
RE:Will there be a surprise?
Is this the deal you were looking for ?

This, as I recall was an arrangement whereby CRH set up the existing clinic - expenses paid.
The Drs would incur an extr revenue stream that was slipping past them whilst CRH recovered their expenses for training etc while at the same time getting their foot in the door for an equity purchase in the business - not before March 15th of 2018.
