Global Health Partner acquires specialist orthopaedic centre in the Copenhagen
region

Global Health Partner (GHP) has acquired Gildhøj Privathospital ApS in Brøndby,
Copenhagen, Denmark, a specialist clinic operative in the field of orthopaedic
surgery. “Gildhøj Privathospital is a highly specialised clinic within our
Service Line Orthopaedics and further strengthens our position both within the
business area and in the Danish market. The clinic has some of Denmark’s
foremost specialists within orthopaedics and has a good reputation among both
patients and colleagues. We are both happy and proud to continue to develop the
business together with the clinic and to give high quality care in the
Copenhagen region,” says Per Båtelson, CEO for Global Health Partner.

Gildhøj Privathospital was formed in 1991 as one of the first private Danish
clinics focusing on orthopaedic surgery. The clinic is located in the west of
Copenhagen in modern premises, has its own MRI and X-ray diagnostics and is
close to rehabilitation facilities. Gildhøj Privathospital was accredited
without any remarks during the autumn of 2011 under “The Danish Quality Model”.

GHP has acquired a share of 85 percent. Of the company’s two previous owners
Claus Hovgaard remains as a partner after the acquisition. Both of the previous
owners will continue to work at the clinic.

“GHP’s focus on quality and specialisation fits in well with our vision and what
we offer our patients. As part of the network of high-quality care providers we
can continue to work on the development of our clinic and the orthopaedic
competencies through cooperation and knowledge exchange among the different
competence centres,” says Claus Hovgaard, who continues to be an owner and CEO
of Gildhøj Privathospital.

Gildhøj Privathospital has approximately 40 employees and sales of just over SEK
60 million. In the general downturn in the Danish health care market, the clinic
has managed, due to its customer structure, to maintain a profitable business,
with organic growth over the past years. A majority of the revenues come from
the company’s good contacts with insurance companies and a number of sports
clubs. Gildhøj Privathospital will be consolidated in GHP as a subsidiary as
from 1 February 2012. It is estimated that the effect on the Group’s results
will be positive for the whole of 2012.

GHP runs specialist clinics in the following selected treatment areas:
orthopaedics, spine surgery/spine care, specialist dentistry, obesity surgery,
metabolic diseases and arrhythmia. Today there are seven clinics within spine
surgery and orthopaedics in addition to Gildhøj Privathospital, inStockholm,
Gothenburg andLundinSweden,BergeninNorwayand Århus inDenmark.
