Mitsui & Co. Associated Company Integrated Healthcare Holdings to Acquire Stake in Turkish Healthcare Group

LONDON--()--

This announcement is for our U.S. $5,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme authorized by UKLA on 8th September 2011.

Mitsui & Co., Ltd. ("Mitsui"; head office: Tokyo; President and CEO: Masami Iijima) has agreed to an acquisition of shares in the holding company for a Turkish private healthcare group (“Acibadem”) by Integrated Healthcare Holdings Sdn. Bhd (“IHHSB,” in which Mitsui holds a 30% stake through its subsidiary MBK Healthcare Partners Limited (“MBKHP”)). IHHSB will acquire a 60% stake in Acibadem through a combination of cash payment and an exchange of newly-issued IHHSB shares with Acibadem shares. Due to the issuing of IHHSB’s new shares, it is envisaged that MBKHP’s shareholding in IHHSB will be diluted from 30% to 26.6%.

Acibadem is the leading Turkey’s private healthcare group, running 14 hospitals (over 1,800 beds) and 8 medical centers. In addition to its hospital business, Acibadem will also operate healthcare-related businesses such as hospital food service, hospital planning and design.

Mitsui invested in IHHSB in May 2011 through MBKHP. In Asia, where an increase in healthcare demand is expected, Mitsui is working to expand its network of hospital business platform and healthcare-related business as well as to explore new business opportunities in the peripheral market with IHHSB. In addition to Singapore and Malaysia, Mitsui aims to expand its healthcare business through IHHSB in Asian countries such as China, and at the same time, to develop a business platform in the Middle East through its healthcare-related business in Turkey, where the rapid growth of healthcare demand is expected as a result of population growth, aging, economic growth and changes in lifestyle.

The above transaction is not expected to have any significant impact on Mitsui’s consolidated performance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.
