Acquisition of orthopaedic and spine surgery business in Århus

Global Health Partner has acquired OPA, Ortopædisk Privathospital Aarhus
A/S in Århus, Denmark, a specialist clinic operating in the fields of
orthopaedics and spine surgery. “OPA complements our current clinics
within these areas very well. The clinic has some of Denmark's leading
specialists and with its competent personnel runs a very fine business
in modern premises in the congress centre in Århus. The clinic is,
amongst other things, one of the few private health providers in Denmark
to have obtained approval to perform highly specialized procedures in
the cervical spine,” says Per Båtelson, Global Health Partner's CEO.

OPA was formed in 2005 by eight doctors, six specialists within
orthopaedics and spine surgery and two anaesthesiologists, and today it
performs a broad spectrum of operations within these areas. In the
autumn of 2010 OPA became the first hospital in the Mittjylland Region
in Denmark to be accredited under the Danish Healthcare Quality
Programme.

Six of the company's former eight owners remain as partners after the
acquisition. Global Health Partner's acquired interest is 70%. All the
previous owners will continue to work at the clinic.

"Global Health Partner's and OPA's vision for the business are very much
in agreement, and we look forward to continuing to work together for
OPA's development. Being part of a network of clinics with the same high
objectives and quality focus feels stimulating," says Alice Jensen,
OPA's CEO.

OPA has approximately 30 employees and has a turnover of just under SEK
60 million. Profitability has been affected by the downturn in the
Danish market, but the clinic, with its very good capacity and high
quality, is well equipped to continue to be an important centre in
Jylland and to also further strengthen its position in the time ahead.
In addition to publicly funded patients, who come via Det utvidgede frie
sygehusvalg (comparable to the health care guarantee, Vårdgarantin, in
Sweden) and who constitute the majority of the revenues, the company
also has contracts with most insurance companies. OPA today has a net
debt of approximately SEK 25 million and will be consolidated in Global
Health Partner as from 1 July 2011. It is estimated that the effect on
the Group's results will be marginal for 2011.

Global Health Partner runs specialist clinics in the following selected
areas of treatment: spine surgery/spine care, specialist dentistry,
obesity surgery and metabolic diseases, orthopaedics and arrhythmia. In
addition to OPA, there are today six clinics within spine surgery and
orthopaedics, in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Lund in Sweden and in Bergen
in Norway.
