CVS Health Expands Home Healthcare Portfolio With $8B Signify Health Acquisition

CVS Health Corp CVS has agreed to acquire Signify Health Inc SGFY for $30.50 per share in cash, representing a total transaction value of approximately $8 billion.

• Following the close of the transaction, Kyle Armbrester will continue to lead Signify Health as part of CVS Health. 
• CVS Health expects to fund the transaction with existing cash from its balance sheet.
• CVS Health and Signify Health anticipate that the transaction will close in the first half of 2023.
