The acquisition is valued at $745m, with Astrana funding the transaction through cash on hand and a $1.09bn senior secured bridge commitment from Truist Bank and JP Morgan.
The deal is anticipated to close in mid-2025, pending regulatory approval and customary closing conditions.
Astrana president and CEO Brandon K Sim said: “The acquisition of Prospect would represent the combination of two organisations with decades-long histories of enabling independent providers and coordinating the delivery of high-quality care for all.
“This strategic transaction will significantly expand our provider network and enhance our ability to offer increased access, quality, and value for our members. Prospect’s established presence in key markets also opens new opportunities for Astrana, particularly in geographically adjacent Orange County, California, where we today have limited operations.”
