Forge, a company owned by Apollo, has signed a deal to buy Becker's Healthcare from Pamlico Capital. JEGI LEONIS advised on the transaction. This move shifts key healthcare assets between two major private equity firms.
Becker's Healthcare reaches more than 1.5 million healthcare leaders and executives through its digital products and draws over 15,000 attendees to its live events each year.
Becker's Healthcare grew under Pamlico Capital. Now, with the sale to Forge—another Apollo asset—both firms are making a clear play to strengthen their positions in the healthcare sector.
The announcement does not include the price or a closing date. But the signed agreement shows Apollo and Pamlico Capital are moving to get the most out of their investments. This deal is part of a wave of fast-paced transactions and brand mergers in healthcare, with JEGI LEONIS often leading the talks.
Forge already owns Fierce Healthcare and Life Sciences, and the integration with Becker’s Healthcare is expected to expand Apollo’s reach across biotech, pharma, hospitals, health systems, and payers, creating an omnichannel platform for the sector.
This is not just another portfolio swap. Private equity firms are still hungry for healthcare assets, and specialist advisors are key to getting these complex deals done. Both Forge and Becker's Healthcare are owned by big investment groups. This deal looks like a planned move to shift influence and find new ways to work together in the sector.
JEGI LEONIS keeps closing deals and rolling out new brands as deal activity hits record highs. Its role here cements its place as a top advisor for big M&A moves. Once Becker's Healthcare is under Forge, the change is set to shake up the healthcare investment market. The biggest players are not waiting around—they are moving fast to shape the industry to fit their goals.
