Team Health Holdings Inc. rejected a $5.17 billion takeover offer from AmSurg Corp. to combine the contract-physician supplier with the surgery center and operations company, saying the proposal was too low.

The unsolicited cash-and-stock proposal would create the fifth-largest U.S. publicly traded health-services company. It values Team Health at $71.47 a share, based on AmSurg’s closing stock price on Monday, AmSurg said in a statementBloomberg Terminal. The offer represents a premium of 36 percent to Team Health shareholders, who would get a cash consideration of $11.49 per share, AmSurg said.
