They are different transactions financially, and more importantly, they are different transactions EMOTIONALLY for the founders (sellers).
they took ~50% of the purchase price in WELL shares. that is very different financially than selling 100% of your business for cash, or cash + VTB, and then riding off into the sunset.
if they raised capital in the form of selling a controlling stake to a PE player, and then continued to run the business, how is that much different than what is happening here?
the point I am making here is that bandit69 referred to the MyHealth sale as the exit for the owners and founders. it's not. it was a transaction which afforded them the capital to grow while still maintaining ownership and autonomy.
