SWEDEN - EQT and Investor AB sells Gambro Health Care to Bridgepoint

Investor AB and EQT has agreed to sell Gambro Health Care to Bridgepoint for an undisclosed sum from Gambro Holding AB. Prior to the sale EQT has held a 51% stake in the company, and Investor AB held the remaining. The sale of Gambro Healthcare is part of the value creation plan which has been implemented since Investor AB and EQT acquired the Gambro Holding AB in June 2006. The divestiture of the clinics will allow greater focus on driving further value creation in Gambro Renal Products as well as Gambro BCT, while Gambro Healthcare can accelerate its development with the new owner.
