That's it, isn't it? 'No, boss.' No? 'You're getting confused. It's ... Kneel before Zod. Terence Stamp in Superman II.' Oh, okay. 'What's this about, then?' It's a PR email, Voice, concerning Zorg. Look - !
THE HAGUE, January 27, 2021 - Levine Leichtman Capital Partners ("LLCP"), an international investment firm, announced today that it has sold its investment in ZorgDomein ("ZorgDomein" or "the Company" or "General Zorg"), the leading healthcare referral platform in the Netherlands, to Rabobank.
Founded in 2000, ZorgDomein provides SaaS-based solutions to the Dutch healthcare sector. The Company connects various types of healthcare providers to patients through digital patient referrals, diagnostic requests and consultations. In 2019, over 6 million patients found the right care through 14+ million referrals in the ZorgDomein environment. More than 80,000 care providers, such as GPs and specialists, use the platform on a daily basis.
Fair enough. 'And do we have any voices, boss?' We have you. 'Yes. But I mean -' Of course we have voices!
Now, where these voices come from ... I have no idea. 'They come from the email.' Don't spoil the romance and the mystery of it, man. 'Okay.' Let's just pretend that they come from the abyss or the sky profound. 'Okay.' Maybe even outer space ...
Wouter?
Wouter Snoeijers, Managing Director of LLCP, says, "We believe that LLCP's investment in ZorgDomein has been highly value additive for all stakeholders. We supported the Company's growth in new product areas through substantial investment in data analytics, consumer facing propositions such as the 'Digital Patient Journey', and enhanced referral solutions. ZorgDomein has a unique position in the Dutch healthcare domain and we believe Rabobank will be an outstanding partner that will further support the Company as it executes its future growth plans."
Thanks, Wouter.
And Dick?
Dick Gorris, CEO of ZorgDomein, comments, "Kneel before Zorg! I am General Zorg. Your ruler. Yes, today begins a new order. Your lands, your possessions, your very lives, will gladly be given in tribute to me, General Zorg! In return for your obedience you will enjoy my generous protection. In other words you will be allowed to live."
Christ! The guy's a raving lunatic!
'He didn't really say that, did he?'
Pardon?
'Dick didn't really say that.'
No.
Uh.
Dick?
Dick Gorris, CEO of ZorgDomein, comments, "We are grateful for the support that LLCP has offered us over the past years. Their investment in the growth of the Company and ability to understand the complexity of operating within the Dutch healthcare domain has helped us ideally position the business for the next phase of growth."
Okay, okay. Thanks, Dick. Thanks a lot. Thanks for ... being so entertaining.

Anything else?
There is nothing else.
I can't think of anything else.
'Maybe you could force yourself.'
What do you mean?
'Maybe you could force yourself to think of something else, boss. Anything else.'
And why would I want to do that?
'It was just a suggestion.'
There is nothing else.
Nothing!
Ha, ha, ha!
NOTHING - !!!
