09:40 AM EDT, 07/19/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Surgery Partners ( SGRY ) is considering strategic options, including a potential sale, and is working with a financial adviser to evaluate buyer interest, Bloomberg reported late Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The Bain Capital-backed surgical facilities operator could seek help from strategic buyers and private-equity firms, the report said, quoting the sources.

The matter is still in the early stages, and the company may choose not to pursue a deal, the sources reportedly told Bloomberg.

Neither Surgery Partners ( SGRY ) nor Bain Capital immediately responded to MT Newswires' requests for comment.
