Ramsay Santé takes further steps towards
its development in the Nordics and announces a recommended public
offer to acquire GHP Specialty Care
- Ramsay
Santé, through its Swedish subsidiary Capio Group
Services AB (“Capio”), has announced a recommended public
offer to acquire GHP Specialty
Care AB (“GHP”), a Swedish specialty healthcare provider listed on
Nasdaq Stockholm.
- The proposed transaction
will lead to a complemented geographical presence in Sweden and
Denmark, increased patient group coverage, and
accelerated development of more digital and
data-driven solutions for a more cohesive care
chain, in line with the Group’s
strategy.
- The
offer – which values GHP’s entire issued
share capital at approximately EUR 228
million1 – has been
unanimously recommended by the
bid committee of GHP and is backed by
undertakings from shareholders
representing approximately
51.4% of
the share capital and voting rights in GHP.
Capio, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ramsay
Santé, has announced today a cash offer to acquire the shares of
GHP, which are listed on Nasdaq Stockholm (the
“Offer”).
GHP is an internationally active health care
provider that operates 24 specialist clinics in a select number of
diagnostic areas including specialist competences in spine
orthopedics, gastro, surgery and arrhythmia. Combined, Capio and
GHP will provide services covering eight out of the ten largest
disease groups in Sweden.
Pascal Roché, CEO,
Ramsay Santé group, comments:“This
transaction perfectly fits with the [European] strategy of Ramsay
Santé, which has been present in the Nordics since the acquisition
of Capio in 2018. The combination with GHP Specialty Care will
allow the Group to increase its footprint in the region and
consolidate its positions by offering complementary geographical
coverage with the activities already held in Sweden and Denmark and
will offer solid synergies.”
In FY 2021, GHP’s sales revenues amounted to
circa. EUR 137million2 with an EBITDA of circa. EUR
18million3. GHP employs 765 FTE’s
The combination would represent complementary
geographical presence, increased patient group coverage, and
stronger focus on digital and data driven solutions for improved
quality, accessibility, and efficiency of healthcare in the Nordic
region. The combination of GHP and Capio would also leverage a
nationwide network of primary care centers in Sweden and Denmark
while strengthening the offering in the Danish specialty healthcare
segment through GHP’s hospital in the capital region
Copenhagen.
The Offer – which values GHP’s entire issued
share capital at approximately EUR 228 million4 – has been
unanimously recommended by the bid committee of GHP. Capio has
received undertakings to accept the offer or indirectly sell shares
from direct and indirect shareholders representing approximately a
total of [51.4%] of the share capital and voting rights in GHP.

among other things, Capio becoming the owner of shares in GHP
representing more than 90% (on a fully diluted basis) as well as
receipt of all necessary regulatory, governmental or similar
clearances, approvals and decisions, including from competition
authorities.

to commence on or around March 24, 2022 and to expire on or around
April 22, 2022. For any information in relation to the Offer, GHP
