Fresenius simplifies sale process of Vamed's Austrian operations

• Sale in two independent steps simplifies and accelerates divestment of Vamed’s Austrian activities
• Fresenius and Porr signed an agreement today on the sale of Austrian project business and the thermal spas operations of VAMED Vitality World
• In-depth talks ongoing with Strabag on sale of Vienna General Hospital (AKH Wien) operations business 

The healthcare group Fresenius is accelerating and simplifying the divestment of Vamed's Austrian activities by a sale in two independent steps. The original agreement to sell to an Austrian consortium consisting of the construction companies Porr and Strabag has now been replaced by a direct contract with Porr for the sale of the Austrian project business and the thermal spas operations of VAMED Vitality World. The new agreement is subject to regulatory approval. 

In-depth talks are also ongoing with Strabag regarding remaining parts of Vamed's Austrian activities – primarily the operations business of the Vienna General Hospital (AKH Wien). 

The sale of the Austrian activities is another step in Fresenius' structured exit from its investment company Vamed, enabling Fresenius to further increase focus on the ongoing progress of Fresenius Kabi and Fresenius Helios in line with #FutureFresenius.
