Asante Capital congratulates its partner BPOC on establishing a $425 million continuation fund

  • Written By: Asante Capital

The fund is co-led by Apollo S3, Blackstone Strategic Partners and Five Arrows

We are delighted to announce that BPOC, a pure-play healthcare investor, announced the closing of its first continuation vehicle, a $425 million transaction co-led by investment funds affiliated with Apollo S3, Blackstone Strategic Partners and Five Arrows.

The continuation fund consists of five healthcare services companies previously held by Beecken Petty O’Keefe & Company Fund IV, L.P. and Beecken Petty O’Keefe & Company Fund IV-A, L.P. (together “BPOC Fund IV”), 2013 vintage funds with $503 million in combined total capital commitments.

The continuation fund will provide more time and, in certain cases, additional capital to assist each portfolio company in further accelerating its full growth potential. Existing investors in BPOC Fund IV were provided with the choice to receive full liquidity or to fully or partially re-invest into the new continuation fund.

“We are grateful for the support of our new investors and believe this new vehicle will enable us to continue to create value at certain Fund IV companies, while providing liquidity options for our existing Fund IV investors,” said Gregory Moerschel, Managing Partner of BPOC.

Asante Capital Group Advisors LLC acted as exclusive advisor to BPOC on the transaction. Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Paul Hastings LLP served as legal counsel to BPOC, while Proskauer Rose LLP represented Apollo S3, Blackstone Strategic Partners and Five Arrows.
