  • Humana (NYSE: HUM) is teaming with private equity groups TPG Capital and Welsh, Carson, Anderson, & Stowe to buy Curo Health Services. The $1.4 billion deal will create the largest hospice operator in the US. Curo will merge with the hospice business of Kindred Healthcare, which was acquired by the group in December.

  • GPS maker Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced it would acquire privately held Viewpoint from Bain Capital in an all-cash deal valued at $1.2 billion. Viewpoint, which is an operator of a project management platform for the construction industry, will be part of Trimble’s buildings and infrastructure segment.

  • Leonard Green & Partners has agreed to acquire SRS Distribution from Berkshire Partners for more than $3 billion. SRS is a wholesale distributor of building products, which includes nails, screws, gutters, lumber, paint, and other accessories and tools. According to its website, roofing makes up 90% of the company’s sales, and, when Berkshire Partners acquired the company from AEA Investors in 2013, SRS was the fourth-largest residential roofing distributor in the country.

  • McKesson Corp. (NYSE: MCK) announced a multi-year strategic growth initiative this past and simultaneously announced it reached a definitive agreement to acquire Medical Specialties Distributors for $800 million. Medical Specialties Distributors is a national distributor of infusion and medical-surgical supplies.
​
  • Square, the company known for its payment software and hardware, announced an agreement to acquire Weebly for $365 million. Weebly provides users with easy-to-create website templates and typically focuses on small businesses and e-commerce businesses. Square noted that, with the acquisition, it can expand globally with 40% of Weebly’s 625,000 paid subscribers outside of the US.
