After the pay-off, for-profit Vanguard will still pay $391 million for DMC, an eight-hospital non-profit academic medical system. DMC officials declined comment on why the system paid off its own debt.
Vanguard has also agreed to fund $850 million in DMC capital improvement projects and fund about $278 million in liabilities. The total acquisition price remains about $1.5 billion, and the deal is expected to close by 2011, pending federal and state approval.
The acquisition will be the single largest private investment in Detroit’s history, according to a DMC news release. DMC and Vanguard recently went in on a $1 million joint venture to develop a Children’s Specialty Center.
