Sun Capital obtained financing for the transaction from Cerberus Capital Management L.P., New York, and invested the money through Sun Capital Partners II L.P., a $200 million investment fund..

The HealthPlan Services businesses will now operate as subsidiaries of a new Sun Capital affiliate, HealthPlan Holdings Inc., Sun Capital says.
