The three governing agreements, the transfer policy, both complaints, the Answer, and the controlling order.
Amended Verified Complaint
Alliant's operative complaint against OMNIA Partners and Premier, Inc. — the pleading that frames the entire dispute over the blocked Metz transfer and the rights of sponsors after the non-healthcare divestiture. Unredacted.
Recruitment & Retention Policy
The transfer rulebook for the Premier Program — the policy governing how member facilities move between sponsors, including the change-of-control provisions at the center of this case. Rarely seen outside the network; filed as a public exhibit.
GPO Participation Agreement — Premier LP & Alliant (2015)
The foundational sponsor agreement, effective July 1, 2015: fee shareback mechanics, breach remedies, termination provisions, and Alliant's equity position in Premier LP. Unredacted.
GPO Participation Agreement — NHH & Alliant (2024)
The post-divestiture successor agreement, effective January 10, 2024: exclusivity, the sponsor's independent-sourcing provision, liquidated damages, and mandatory arbitration. The template every non-healthcare sponsor now negotiates against. Financial terms (Section 4) redacted — the only major redaction remaining.
Channel Partnership Agreement — Premier LP & NHH (2023)
The Amended & Restated B&I Channel Partnership Agreement, effective July 25, 2023 — the contract governing the relationship between Premier and the OMNIA-owned entity, including the seller list from the divestiture. Unredacted.
Order Granting Stay — August 17, 2026 Deadline
The controlling order: all deadlines stayed for global settlement talks covering both lawsuits and the arbitration, with a joint status report due no later than Monday, August 17, 2026. All pending dismissal motions denied without prejudice.
Verified Complaint (Redacted)
Alliant's second lawsuit, filed November 2025 after both OMNIA and Premier issued replacement Recruitment & Retention Policies. Contract-term allegations are redacted in the public version; the narrative allegations and six counts are visible.
Answer & Affirmative Defenses — NHH and OMNIA
The defense speaks: paragraph-by-paragraph admissions and denials, eleven affirmative defenses, and the repeated assertion that by suing in court rather than arbitrating, Alliant materially breached its agreement and is subject to termination for cause.

Litigation Watch
The open questions we're tracking across both dockets and the arbitration.
Can the Recruitment & Retention Policy be unilaterally replaced?
Both OMNIA and Premier issued replacement policies in 2025 — whether they could is at the heart of the second lawsuit. Unresolved.
Does suing in court expose a sponsor to termination for cause?
NHH and OMNIA's Answer asserts that by filing in court rather than arbitrating, Alliant materially breached its agreement. Unresolved.
Will the arbitration resolve before the lawsuits?
The same settlement discussions cover both cases and the AAA arbitration among Alliant, NHH, and Premier LP. The August 17 report covers all three fronts.
