Gecina: New Partnership with Capio to Acquire a Private Clinic in Orange

Regulatory News:

Gecimed, Gecina's (Paris:GFC) dedicated healthcare real estate subsidiary, acquired a clinic in Orange, France, on November 29, 2013. This operation is based on a joint-venture, in which Gecimed has an 80% interest, alongside Capio, a leading player on the European healthcare market, with a 20% stake.

This asset will have a total of 60 beds over 4,797 sq.m, split between 2,576 sq.m of space that is already in operation and a 2,221 sq.m extension that will be delivered in 2015. This new facility is being created through the consolidation of two clinics, which previously had 120 beds, operated by Capio in Orange. The new structure's number of beds will be divided by two, while it is expected to see a growing level of activity, making it one of Capio's pilot facilities for outpatient surgery, in addition to optimizing its real estate costs.

The investment represents 12.5 million euros for the joint-venture. A firm commitment corresponding to 15 years of rental flows from the extension's delivery has been made with Capio, the tenant-operator, generating a triple net yield of 6.9%.

On this operation, Gecimed was advised by KPMG, the notary's office Oudot et Associés and the law firm De Pardieu Brocas Maffei. Capio was advised by the notary's office Brac de la Perrière, Fairway, Easton Corporate Finance and ISMS.
