Regulatory News:
Clariane (Paris:CLARI) (CLARIA.PA - ISIN FR0010386334): the
Group announces today that it has received a put option agreement
from the Fondation Santé Service and has granted an exclusivity
undertaking with a view to selling all its Hospitalisation à
Domicile and Services de Soins Infirmiers à Domicile (HAD/SSIAD)
activities in France. This agreement follows a bidding process
involving several players in the sector.
Recognized as a public utility since 2013, the Fondation Santé
Service is the leading French player in home hospitalization (HAD)
and takes care of and coordinates within its HAD, SSIAD and PSAD
activities more than 2,000 patients of all ages affected of all
ages suffering from acute or chronic pathologies, mainly in
oncology, palliative care, complex wounds, rehabilitation,
perinatal care and geriatrics. In addition to its care services,
the Fondation Santé Service has developed a research and innovation
activity focused on home care services and HAD.
The businesses sold by the Clariane Group would represent 8 HAD
homes, two of which are located in the Ile-de-France region, and 3
SSIAD agencies. They employ 309 people (full-time equivalent) and
generated sales of €46.5 million in 2023.
All of these facilities rely on high-level operational processes
that meet the requirements expected in the performance of their
missions and the expectations of patients. As such, they meet the
highest quality standards set by the French National Authority for
Health (Haute Autorité de Santé) and the ISO 9001 quality standards
deployed by Clariane.
The transaction is subject to finalisation of the legal
documentation and the transfer of administrative authorisations by
the relevant health authorities.
The process of informing and consulting the employee
representative bodies concerned has been initiated.
All the net proceeds from the sale will be used to pay down the
Group's debt.
This transaction is part of the plan announced on 14 November
2023 to strengthen the Group's financial structure, which includes
a programme of disposals of operating and property assets, as well
as equity partnerships, with expected gross proceeds from disposals
of around €1 billion, designed to reduce the Group's debt and
financial leverage.
With this transaction, which would come on top of those already
completed in March and April in the United Kingdom and the
Netherlands, the Group would have completed just over 40% of its
total disposal programme.
