Berlin, 6th December 2005. Marseille-Kliniken AG (Prime Standard, ISIN DE 0007783003, MKA) was able to successfully conclude after the GE deal a second substantial sale-and-leaseback contract with the properties investor CIT Group Europe, Great Britain. This involves Marseille-Kliniken AG selling a total of 10 portfolio properties, 8 of which are from the care sector and two from the rehabilitation sector, with approximately 1,550 beds to the English investor by means of a sale-and-leaseback agreement, and at the same time renting them back in the long term.
With a volume of over EUR117m, this transaction sets another new milestone in the Marseille-Kliniken AGs strategy of concentrating primarily on the health facilities business in future, and expanding their overall bed capacity to 12,000 beds by the year 2008. Once successfully implemented, the Marseille-Kliniken AGs property portfolio will be distributed between approx. 30% facilities of their own and 70% rented facilities, and will therefore represent a ratio which the company had set themselves as their target.
With this transaction, Marseille-Kliniken AG are able to pay off long-term financial debts, it considerably improves their capital ratio, and it creates further financial scope for the implementation of their growth strategy.
