The agreement with Blackstone includes a "go-shop" provision, allowing the company to seek alternative offers during a 40-day window. If no superior offers come, and if TeamHealth and Blackstone receive shareholder approval and regulatory clearance, the deal is expected to close by March 2017. Goldman Sachs is serving as the lead adviser to TeamHealth, with Citigroup also advising. Bank of America is providing financial advice to Blackstone. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett is TeamHealth's legal counsel, while Kirkland & Ellis and Ropes & Gray are advising Blackstone.
