BP worked with existing HCPro management and with the founders of the Company to structure and implement an orderly transfer of ownership and to recapitalize the business.  Together with Bruce Guzowski, HCPro's CEO, BP formed an acquisition company and negotiated a binding purchase agreement as well as compensation and employment arrangements with HCPro's senior management team.  BP then arranged and negotiated the private placement of $37.5 million of senior debt, subordinated debt, and preferred stock.  Martin Madden served on HCPro's Board of Directors.

In March 2005, HCPro completed a $27 million recapitalization of its existing senior and subordinated debt facilities.  The new senior debt facility provides for increased financial flexibility and funding for additional acquisitions.  Bariston served as HCPro’s advisor.

In February 2008, HCPro was sold to a company founded by Halyard Capital and HCPro’s senior management.
