  • "Covetrus has undergone a true transformation since our initial 2015 investment in its predecessor, Vets First Choice, growing from $55 million in revenue focused primarily on online pharmacy in the US to a leading global provider of animal health services with more than $4.6 billion in revenue," said Sarah Kim, Partner at CD&R. 
  • The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2022. 
  • Upon completing the transaction, Covetrus will become a private company and no longer be publicly listed or traded on NASDAQ. 
  • Covetrus' management team, including Benjamin Wolin, President & CEO, is expected to continue to lead the company.
