Case Study: Priory Group achieves accelerated due diligence and an £875M sale with IntraLinks

Priory Group - Customer Case Study

Priory Group, a UK healthcare provider known for its celebrity clientele, faced a complex sell-side due diligence process that required sharing thousands of confidential documents with dozens of potential bidders. Preparing physical datarooms and binders for some 30 interested parties would have been an untenable administrative burden and risked delaying the sale by weeks.

Priory used Intralinks Exchanges™ as its first virtual data room, enabling 500+ simultaneous users, quick document uploads, granular group permissioning and detailed reporting to track interest. The platform shaved weeks off the timetable, accommodated hundreds of reviewers, and helped ABN AMRO outbid competitors to buy Priory for £875 million — a fourfold return that validated the VDR investment.
