HCA to buy back half of Bain's $1.13B stake in the hospital operator

Nashville, Tenn.-based Hospital Corporation of America has announced it intends to buy back half of Bain Capital Investors' $1.13 billion stake in HCA, according to a Dow Jones report.

In 2006, Bain Capital and KKR & Co. paid $21.3 billion to buy out HCA. The firms took HCA public and have been selling off their stakes in HCA since.

Based on HCA's Dec. 5 closing price, the buy back is valued at about $555.7 million, minus a 1 percent discount, according to the report.

HCA's board adopted a share repurchase program in October, which is where the funds for the buy back will come from.
