Siemens Healthineers Reportedly Plans To Exit American Oncology Institute In Transaction Valued at INR 15,000 Million To INR 20,000 Million Siemens Healthineers AG (XTRA:SHL) is planning to exit its India-based cancer care chain American Oncology Institute in a transaction valued at around INR 15,000 million to INR 20,000 million, according to people familiar with the matter. The deal is being advised by investment firm Alvarez & Marsal, and several private equity funds have been approached as potential buyers. Listed oncology chain HealthCare Global Enterprises Limited (NSEI:HCG), backed by KKR, is also among the bidders being considered, sources said. The proposed divestment is part of Siemens Healthineers’ broader strategic review of its global healthcare portfolio. The development comes at a time when India’s cancer care sector is witnessing steady expansion, driven by rising incidence of cancer, increased diagnostic awareness, and growing demand for advanced treatment infrastructure. The sector has also seen heightened interest from private equity investors and hospital chains seeking to expand oncology networks. If completed, the transaction would mark Siemens Healthineers’ exit from direct ownership of a multi-country oncology hospital chain, while potentially reshaping the competitive landscape of organized cancer care in India.

KKR Reportedly Close to Buying HCG KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE:KKR) is close to acquiring HealthCare Global Enterprises Limited (NSEI:HCG), the country's largest speciality cancer care hospital chain, from another private equity firm CVC Capital Partners plc (ENXTAM:CVC), said people aware of the matter. The development comes less than six months after KKR made a return to the Indian hospital sector, after a gap of two years The private equity firms are aiming to sign binding documents this month, latest early January. Trumping a rival bid by Bain Capital, KKR entered into an exclusivity pact in late October with CVC for bilateral negotiations to acquire CVC’s 60.36% stake at a price of INR 425-INR 450 per share. This is at a 10%-15% discount to the INR 509.85 of December 3, 2024 closing price, which translates into a market value of INR 71,066.3 million. But the stock has surged 43% in the last six months on the back of a strong financial performance and expectations of a sale. In the past month alone, HCG shares have risen 14%. With the promoters — CVC and the founding family — owning a 71.23% stake, KKR is expected to launch an open offer for another 26% of the firm after the acquisition. Initially Ajaikumar may not sell, but if the new promoter group led by KKR crosses the 75% threshold, then the founding family may pare its stake leaving the US buyout group as the sole promoter. The transaction may involve an eventual delisting of HCG in case the open offer is fully subscribed to and after the takeover, KKR’s shareholding exceeds 90%, they added. Bain had given CVC a firm offer in October but KKR is said to have bettered that with favourable terms for key shareholders. However, the KKR offer is subject to gaining control. CVC had acquired a controlling stake in the hospital chain in 2020 for INR 10,490 million. Its stake is worth INR 46,631.2 million at current value. KKR has been negotiating a plan with Ajaikumar that involves him stepping down as executive chairman for a non-executive position. Raj Gore, a Fortis Healthcare and Apollo Hospitals veteran, is expected to continue as chief executive. People close to Ajaikumar said he wants to remain chairman. The family is expected to retain a partial stake to ride the future upside. The stock currently trades at 15 times FY26 ebitda, which is amongst the lowest in the industry. Most analysts expect a significant rerating if KKR takes over. The prospect of a change in his executive role has been a sticking point, according to people familiar with the matter. Ajaikumar told ET that talks were in the “works,” adding, “I made it clear, I am not selling.” KKR declined to comment. CVC didn’t respond to queries. Price Target Changed • Nov 13

Other potential investors already in the race for CVC's 60.4% stake include TPG Capital, L.P., Bain Capital, LP and VPS Healthcare (now Burjeel Holdings). "Temasek will either bid alone or partner one of the other private equity funds," one of the two people said, adding that potential suitors have submitted initial bids and are conducting due diligence now. Shares of HCG closed at INR 358.80 a share on the NSE on May 2, 2024, down 1.98%. Its total market capitalization stood at INR 49,977.1 million. CVC Capital Partners, which purchased around 59% in Healthcare Global for INR 11,000 million in 2020, raised its shareholding to over 60.4% later. At the current share price and market cap, the stake is worth over INR 30,040 million. When contacted, Dr. B.S. Ajai Kumar, founder of Healthcare Global, said he does not plan to sell his close to 11% stake or increase his stake. Kumar declined to comment on the deal, directing all queries to CVC Capital Partners. "I am not selling my stake. As far as I am concerned, I am the founder, a doctor, interested in oncology and I plan to continue at HCG," Kumar, 71, said. Kumar's daughter Anjali Ajaikumar Rossi is executive director - strategy at HCG. Kumar also clarified that he is also not planning to increase his stake at the firm, dismissing rumours that he could partner with another private equity firm to help increase his stake. "No such consideration as of now," he said. Queries emailed to the spokespersons of TPG and VPS remained unanswered. Temasek and Bain Capital declined to comment. Announcement • Feb 20
