ZIEGLER ADVISES OFFOR HEALTH ON ITS MAJORITY RECAPITALIZATION BY HAVENCREST

NEW YORK, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ziegler, a specialty investment bank, is pleased to announce it served as the exclusive financial advisor to OFFOR Health ("OFFOR" or the "Company") on its majority recapitalization by Havencrest Capital Management ("Havencrest"), a Dallas-based healthcare private equity firm. OFFOR Health is a leading provider of office-based anesthesia services for complex pediatric dental procedures.

Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, the Company currently operates in five states across Ohio, Tennessee, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky. OFFOR deploys highly integrated clinical teams and equipment — including anesthesiologists, PACU nurses, and paramedics — directly into dental offices with hospital-grade safety redundancies. This innovative business model enables patients, including children enrolled in Medicaid, to receive timely, high-impact care in dental offices rather than face long wait times for hospital operating rooms.

Havencrest's investment in OFFOR provides the Company with a partner that is deeply aligned with its mission of ensuring children and underserved populations have timely access to high quality care. The partnership positions OFFOR to accelerate its growth trajectory geographic expansion, reaching more pediatric patients and families in more communities across the country.

"The Ziegler team ran a competitive process to identify the right partner for OFFOR and worked diligently through the key terms of the transaction. We greatly valued having a highly experienced team of professionals alongside us throughout this process and are thrilled with the outcome we were able to achieve," said Gary Schafer, CEO of OFFOR Health.

"OFFOR has built a highly innovative platform that demonstrates unparalleled clinical and economic value to pediatric dental patients, dentists and clinic partners, and payors across state markets. This investment from Havencrest will dramatically scale the ability to provide access to patients across a nationally expanding footprint and serve to further enhance the Company's proven operating and logistics model. We are very excited to have represented OFFOR on this market-defining new partnership, " said Drew Braucht, Managing Director in Ziegler's Healthcare Investment Banking practice.
