Transaction is Edgemont’s twelfth pharmaceutical services transaction in the last twelve months
NEW YORK, NY – August 9, 2022 – Edgemont Partners (“Edgemont”), a premier healthcare investment bank and a leading M&A and capital raising advisor exclusively serving healthcare companies, announced that it acted as exclusive financial advisor to MNG Health on its sale to WebMD Health Corp (“WebMD”), an Internet Brands company. The transaction illustrates Edgemont’s dedicated coverage across the pharmaceutical services landscape, including the medical communications sector. Edgemont’s deal team was led by Managing Director Patrick Bradley.
MNG Health, an institutionally-owned asset at the time of the transaction, is a leading provider of technology-enabled marketing solutions for life sciences brands. The acquisition combines the core competencies of MNG Health with that of Medscape, WebMD’s clinical information, education, and point-of-care tools platform for healthcare professionals (HCPs), and expands Medscape’s capabilities in virtual events, pharmaceutical sales representative-enablement solutions, and omnichannel digital marketing.
James Briggs, MNG’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Edgemont’s deep healthcare domain expertise provided invaluable guidance and led to a great outcome for MNG. Their dedication and commitment throughout the transaction process were instrumental in generating a highly successful result for the business and our institutional shareholders.”
“We are excited to be joining Medscape,” said James Briggs. “We share Medscape’s commitment to driving strategic, meaningful engagement with physicians and other HCPs. Medscape’s resources and digital intelligence will enable us to further evolve our products and expand our reach and engagement with broadcast and other virtual events.”
MNG Health will continue to operate as an independent subsidiary of Medscape as the companies evaluate areas of synergy and build on and integrate products, platforms, and services.
