Deals

A solution has been found for "Bayerisch Gmain Pflege- und Therapiezentrum GmbH" following an investor process lasting around three months.

The background is the insolvency proceedings of "Merkel Beteiligungen GmbH", a holding company based in Bayerisch Gmain that originally managed numerous inpatient facilities for elderly care and social therapy. The insolvency administrator of the holding company, lawyer Dr. Jochen Zaremba of the law firm SRI, conducted the investor process in order to secure an economically stable new shareholder for the care and therapy centre.

In the investor process managed by Deichmann Corporate Finance GmbH on behalf of Dr. Zaremba, well-known German and European market participants were approached. COREH Care Holding from Munich, which had already acquired the business operations of the former sister company Birkenhof in Erharting, prevailed as the best bidder.

"Bayerisch Gmain Pflege- und Therapiezentrum GmbH" operates two sites in Bayerisch Gmain (elderly care and social therapy) and in Bischofswiesen (social therapy). In total, the facilities can accommodate 287 residents. The company employs around 240 people.

Dr. Zaremba (quote, translated in substance): He wishes the employees and residents a successful and harmonious future with the COREH team and welcomes the fact that the acquirer has appointed Sandra Samardzic, a manager from within the company, as new managing director, ensuring continuity of personnel. He thanks Rajko Schubert for his many years as managing director of both Merkel Beteiligungen GmbH and Bayerisch Gmain Pflege- und Therapiezentrum GmbH, states that COREH's economic offer and strategic concept convinced him, and thanks Jacob Hetzel and his team for the constructive negotiations.

Jacob Hetzel, Managing Partner of COREH Care Holding (quote, translated in substance): COREH is very pleased about the trust placed in it and the opportunity to shape the future of the facilities together with the employees. Its aim is to secure and further develop the high quality of care, continuity of personnel and regional roots over the long term; gaining Sandra Samardzic, an experienced manager from within the company, as managing director is an important building block. He thanks Dr. Zaremba, Mr. Deichmann and their teams for the constructive and professional cooperation throughout the process.

Parties involved: SRI (lawyer Dr. Jochen Zaremba, insolvency administrator of Merkel Beteiligungen GmbH); Deichmann Corporate Finance GmbH (investor process on behalf of the insolvency administrator).
