Dec 11 (Reuters) - Patterson Companies PDCO.O said on Wednesday it had agreed to be acquired by health investment firm Patient Square Capital for about $4.1 billion.
The go-private deal for $31.35 per share represents a premium of 35.7% to the stock's last close.
Earlier this month, Patterson said it was evaluating strategic alternatives including a sale or merger after lowering its annual profit forecast.
Shares of the company, down more than 18% this year, were halted during premarket hours.
