KOS signs an agreement for the sale of its subsidiary Medipass (excluding the Indian business) to the DWS fund for an enterprise value of € 169 million and a net consideration estimated at approximately € 103 million
Milan, September 7 2020 – KOS and Inframedica S.àr.l., a company directly and wholly controlled by DWS Alternatives Global Limited, the investment manager delegated to manage the Pan European Infrastructure III Fund, SCSp (“DWS”) have signed a binding agreement for the transfer from KOS to DWS of 100% of the shares of Medipass S.r.l. (“Medipass”). Before the sale is completed, KOS will buy back from Medipass the Indian subsidiaries (Clearmedi Healthcare Private LTD, Clearview Healthcare Private LTD).
The enterprise value agreed upon is € 169.2 million and the equity value can be estimated at approximately € 103 million, net of the price that KOS will pay for the acquisition of the businesses in India. The total amount that will be paid on completion by DWS to KOS will be subject to adjustments linked to the actual financial position of Medipass as of September 30.
Completion of the deal is subject to the issue by the competent authorities of the necessary authorizations and to certain third party waivers, including those related to KOS’ loan agreements. Because of the time required for the authorization processes, the deal is expected to complete by the end of 2020.
The transaction will generate a net capital gain for KOS of approximately € 50 million and will reduce its debt by around € 160 million, compared to total debt (before IFRS 16) of € 356.2 million at June 30 2020.
Medipass is a leading provider of Cancer Care and Advanced Diagnostic Imaging services in Italy and the UK. Acquired by KOS in 2006, Medipass has become one of the key players in providing private and public healthcare facilities with turnkey solutions for the management of diagnostics and cancer care departments, managing standard technologies (e.g. CT, RX, ultrasound imaging), advanced technologies such as Nuclear Medicine (PET-CT) for diagnostics activities, and Radiotherapy departments for cancer care. Medipass serves over 20 healthcare facilities (hospitals and clinics) in Italy and the UK and it is uniquely positioned to meet the growing demand in the sector for investments to renew and expand the existing stock of equipment providing life-saving services.
The agreement reached for the sale shows that Medipass has created significant value since it was acquired by KOS.
The deal will enable KOS to significantly increase the allocation of resources to the growth of its core businesses (managing care homes, hospitals and rehabilitation facilities both in Italy and abroad, particularly in Germany, where it already has a significant presence).
Lastly, regarding the activities in India, where today Medipass is one of the leading providers of technological services for healthcare, with revenues of € 20.7 million in 2019, KOS will evaluate available options to realise its value.
