NewSpring Leads Continued Investment in Verisma

Transaction recapitalizes existing portfolio company Verisma to optimize enhanced opportunities in disclosure management

NewSpring (“the Firm”), a family of private equity strategies, announced today that NewSpring Healthcare, the Firm’s dedicated healthcare strategy, has made an investment into Verisma, an industry leader in healthcare disclosure management technology and services. The transaction creates a successful liquidity event for NewSpring, Blue Heron, legacy investors, and limited partners while allowing Verisma to continue to grow its leadership position in the quickly expanding healthcare information technology industry.

This significant investment affords Verisma an accelerated timeline. They will be able to lower barriers for efficient disclosures and stay ahead of market demands, like increased volume and regulation. The additional access to capital will fast-track its ever-advancing technology platform, enhancing the accuracy of disclosure management.

“Verisma empowers thousands of hospitals and healthcare providers, allowing them to provide superior care without worrying about non-compliance or penalties, all thanks to a cutting-edge, technology-based release of information (ROI) solution. NewSpring’s continued investment furthers our access to the financial, human, and intellectual capital that helped accelerate our growth. We look forward to partnering in the refinement and creation of new, value-adding services to benefit even more healthcare providers.”

— Marty McKenna, Verisma CEO

With this recapitalization, structured as a GP-led secondary through a continuation vehicle managed by NewSpring Healthcare, NewSpring is taking advantage of an attractive opportunity to provide a return to existing shareholders while infusing fresh capital into the business with new investors who share the Firm’s strong conviction in Verisma’s potential for continued rapid growth. Triago served as the exclusive Financial Advisor for the transaction.

“When we initially partnered with Verisma, we saw the dire need among healthcare providers for an efficient release of information technology solution capable of handling the explosion of medical information captured by disparate, unconnected systems. This need is still alive today, and we see ample room for the disclosure management space to continue to expand. As a leader in the space, Verisma is well-positioned to take advantage of this industry’s fast growth, and we’re excited about the continued opportunity to help this business introduce new technology innovations that continue driving this industry forward.”
