Arx Equity Partners sells Lexum to Moonray Healthcare

Following the transaction, Moonray Healthcare will combine Lexum with Optegra, which operates hospitals specialised in eye surgery across the UK and Germany.

Arx acquired Lexum in April 2009 for less than €25m. Equity for the deal was sourced from Arx CEE III; Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg provided debt for the transaction.

In February 2010, Arx backed Lexum's acquisition of Polish ophthalmology chain Intermedica.

Lexum operates 10 hospitals offering ophthalmology and refractive surgery treatment in the Czech Republic and Poland. Sites are located in Prague, Ceske Budejovice, Ostrava, Brno, Tabor, Poznan, Krakow, Szczecin, Warsaw and Wroclaw. Lexum employs 40 surgical ophthalmologists.

People
Tim Clover is CEO of Moonray Healthcare and Optegra. Martin Filipex, the founder and current CEO of Lexum, will continue to work with the company as chief medical officer.
