Teardown #7 — What Premier Actually Sold, and What It Kept
The agreement that priced the divestiture was never sealed and never fought over. It has been on EDGAR since June 2023, and it answers questions the litigation only gestures at: what was sold, who sold it, what was deliberately left behind — and the multiple that priced it.
The document nobody read
The Alliant ⚖️ litigation made a set of GPO contracts public for the first time, and the industry has spent eighteen months reading them. Meanwhile, the document that created the entire situation has been sitting in plain sight on EDGAR since June 2023.
The Equity Purchase Agreement — the operative agreement for Premier ⚖️'s sale of its non-healthcare group purchasing business to OMNIA Partners ⚖️ — was filed as an exhibit to Premier's Form 8-K the day after signing. It is unredacted. It runs ten articles, with ten annexes and five exhibits. It was never sealed, never fought over, and never, so far as the public record shows, read closely by anyone in the industry it describes.

Open the Litigation LibraryThe record supplies the paper. People supply the meaning.
Public filings show what was written down. They can't show how a transfer request actually moved, how a sponsor handled a customer with accounts on both sides of the healthcare line, or what a renewal conversation sounded like in the room. That is what GPO Intel's Expert Network exists to capture.
If you have run a sponsor, managed a category, carried a bag for a manufacturer, or sat on the health-system side of these relationships, we are asking short questions only people like you can answer — asynchronous, answered from memory, screened before publishing, attributed on your terms (named, title-only, or anonymous), and never about your current employer.
