Boulogne-Billancourt, France, March 1st, 2022 after the market close
Cegedim Group and mutual insurance groups Malakoff Humanis, Groupe VYV, and PRO BTP are in talks regarding the acquisition of an equity stake in Cegedim Santé, the Group subsidiary specialized in digital solutions for healthcare professionals and patients. As part of the deal, Cegedim Santé will simultaneously acquire MesDocteurs, Groupe VYV’s subsidiary specializing in telehealth.
Cegedim Santé is present at every step of the value chain in particular through the Maiia suite: appointment scheduling, practice management software, teleconsultations, medication databases, e-prescription software, invoicing software, secure messaging with colleagues and patients, etc.
Malakoff Humanis, VYV, and PRO BTP share Cegedim Santé’s goals of improving patient access to care and making patients’ course of care as seamless as possible. They want to help Cegedim Santé speed up the development of software and services for healthcare professionals and their patients. By stepping up to acquire an equity stake, these three mutual insurance groups are endorsing Cegedim Santé’s capacity for innovation and the quality of its teams and products. This transaction, including the acquisition of MesDocteurs by Cegedim Santé, is part of the digital transformation of the French healthcare sector initiated by the government and supported by these three mutual insurers.
Once negotiations are complete, the deal will be sealed by the signature of an investment agreement and a strategic and industrial partnership between Cegedim, Malakoff Humanis, Groupe VYV, and PRO BTP. The transaction will be complete once employee representatives issue an opinion.
“We are delighted to see the interest expressed by such high-caliber healthcare sector players as Malakoff Humanis, Groupe VYV, and PRO BTP. By joining us, these groups—which represent 25 million beneficiaries in France—will strengthen Cegedim Santé’s position as the recognized French leader in IT for doctors in private practice, with 100,000 healthcare professional users. This deal signals Cegedim Santé’s determination to innovate and develop solutions for healthcare professionals and patients in France,” stated Jean-Claude Labrune, Cegedim Chairman & CEO.
“This deal is the logical next step for Malakoff Humanis considering the investments we have made in digital technology in recent years. It demonstrates that we are eager to invest in technology that delivers ever more value to our beneficiaries, enriches our service offering in prevention, and improves patient care management. Technology is accelerating the transformation of our healthcare system, and acquiring a stake in Cegedim Santé is part of the shift initiated by the government, notably with the creation of ‘Mon espace santé’,” said Thomas Saunier, CEO of Malakoff Humanis.
“Groupe VYV is already present in e-health, but we want to do more. Acquiring a stake in Cegedim Santé is a wonderful opportunity for the group to bolster its service offerings in course of care assistance and prevention,” noted Delphine Maisonneuve, CEO of Groupe VYV.
PRO BTP CEO Hervé Naerhuysen commented, “This equity investment is part of PRO BTP’s ongoing effort to give beneficiaries greater access to care and develop new services in partnership with healthcare professionals. By investing in new technology, PRO BTP strives to make the patient care experience as smooth and pleasant as possible for its policyholders. One of the keys to doing that is to simplify access to effective preventive care through digital technologies and thus capitalize on the systems in the e-health space.”
The deal will involve a reserved capital increase of €65 million, giving Cegedim Santé a post-deal valuation of €360.9 million. Cegedim will continue to fully consolidate Cegedim Santé.
