Morneau Shepell Inc. (MSI.T) on Monday said it agreed to buy the stand-alone U.S. large-market health and defined-benefit administration business of Marsh & McLennan Cos.' (MMC) Mercer unit for $57 million.

The Toronto provider of human-resources services said the acquisition expands its presence in the U.S. and boosts its position in the large-market sector.

Morneau Shepell said it will fund the acquisition, which it expects to complete in the third quarter, through its revolving credit facility.

Mercer said the business it is selling has 73 clients and more than 1.9 million participants, adding that its employees who serve those clients will join Morneau Shepell.
