Corporate Orphan

Remuda Ranch Company

In July of 2001, Prospect Partners and management acquired Remuda Ranch from its publicly traded parent company. Remuda Ranch of Wickenburg, Arizona is the leading provider of medical, nutritional and psychological treatment for women and girls with eating disorders.

In the years prior to completing the transaction with Prospect Partners, Remuda had passed through multiple corporate parents and received little assistance or attention during that time. In addition, the management team had no ownership stake in the business. After completing the transaction with Prospect, management became owners alongside Prospect. Significant effort went into working with management to develop short and long-term plans for building on Remuda’s past success to create a stronger and more valuable business for the benefit of patients, employees and shareholders.

Under prior ownership, Remuda received no attention or assistance and was treated as a provider of cash flow to fund non-Remuda-related activities of the corporate parents. Prospect worked with management as fellow shareholders and partners, sitting “on the same side of the table” to address the needs of the business.
