Koblenz – CompuGroup Medical SE & Co. KGaA, one of the world’s leading e-health providers, has been improving healthcare by digitizing medical care for more than 30 years. CompuGroup Medical’s software supports medical and organizational processes in doctors' and dentist’s offices, pharmacies, laboratories, hospitals and social institutions daily. This provides medical professionals with more time for their patients and helpful medical information for the benefit of everyone in the healthcare system.

Today, CompuGroup Medical announced a strategic partnership agreement with CVC Capital Partners, one of the world’s leading private equity firms, and GT1 Vermögensverwaltung GmbH, CompuGroup Medical’s majority shareholder. The partnership with CVC will become effective if a holding company controlled by investment funds advised and managed by affiliates of CVC Capital Partners successfully completes a voluntary public tender offer for all outstanding shares of CompuGroup Medical at a price of EUR 22.00 per share in cash. The offer corresponds to a premium of 51.1% to the volume-weighted average price over the past three months.

The founding family Gotthardt and related shareholder Dr. Reinhard Koop, who together hold 50.1% of all shares, will retain their majority stake in CompuGroup Medical. CompuGroup Medical founder Frank Gotthardt will remain Chairman of the Administrative Board, while Prof. (apl.) Dr. med. Daniel Gotthardt continues as Chief Executive Officer and member of the Administrative Board.

The partnership with CVC is expected to support the long-term innovation and growth strategy of CompuGroup Medical. Together, CompuGroup Medical and CVC plan to drive innovation in healthcare for the benefit of patients and healthcare providers worldwide. The joint goal is to reliably empower medical professionals with next generation products and strong customer support.

Prof. (apl.) Dr. med. Daniel Gotthardt, CEO of CompuGroup Medical said: “At CompuGroup Medical, our highest priority is to provide customers – medical doctors, dentists, healthcare practitioners, hospitals and pharmacies and other healthcare providers – with the best possible solutions to advance healthcare. Based on innovative, data-based and AI-empowered solutions, we have the unique opportunity to add a new dimension to healthcare in the years to come. CVC's extensive expertise in investments in the healthcare industry and software business will support us to deliver our strategy as planned. Our envisaged partnership will catalyze the next phase of innovation and expansion, for the benefit of our customers, and ultimately patients.”

Daniela Hommel, CFO of CompuGroup Medical, commented: “The Managing Directors welcome the envisaged strategic partnership with CVC due to their international network and deep industry expertise in the software and healthcare sectors. Partnering with CVC will allow us to take advantage of greater growth opportunities, such as investments in inorganic growth and increasing our focus on cloud-based products and AI-powered solutions. It will be particularly advantageous, when speed is of essence regarding financing. For our shareholders, the offer represents the opportunity to realize their investment at a premium of 51.1 % to the volume-weighted average price over the past three months.”
               
Frank Gotthardt, company founder and Chairman of the Administrative Board added: “The purpose of CompuGroup Medical remains unchanged: Nobody should suffer or die because at some point medical information was missing. Over decades, our customers and employees have appreciated the stability provided by a strong anchor shareholder. CompuGroup Medical will remain family-owned going forward. And I am convinced we have found the perfect partner to build on that strength to write the next successful chapter in our company history.”

Daniel Pindur, Managing Partner at CVC, said: “CompuGroup Medical has written an unparalleled success story over the past 30 years. There are only a handful of those founder-led stories in Germany. It has become a real European champion in digitization. We look forward to collaborating closely with the Gotthardt family and the team, leveraging CVC’s experience in strategic partnerships with founder-led family businesses. Together, we want to write the next chapter of healthcare.”

Can Toygar, Senior Managing Director at CVC, added: “In light of demographic changes and professional labor shortages, the healthcare market will always need more digital solutions. CompuGroup Medical is an outstanding company, and has the products and capabilities to improve healthcare in Europe for the benefit all and make it more efficient. Together, we will focus on investments in modern, data-based products and improving service quality for medical doctors, pharmacists and nursing staff.”
