Mr. Delaney added, "We have enjoyed our partnership with Odyssey during which we worked together to transform our company into the industry leader. As a result of our collaborative efforts, we have deepened the value that we bring to our customers, network partners and injured workers through our suite of world-class services that support faster, more efficient and more cost-effective resolution of claims. We have created a new standard of performance in workers' compensation and are excited about the future with Apax Partners."
Completion of the transaction, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2013, is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
Jefferies served as the exclusive financial advisor and Latham & Watkins LLP served as legal advisor to One Call Care Management in connection with this transaction.
