THM Capital Advisory advises the shareholder of the Saint-Claude Medical Imaging Center on its sale to the IMDEV group

THM Capital Advisory advised the shareholder of the Saint-Claude Medical Imaging Center (IMSC) in connection with the sale of the structure to the IMDEV group.

Located in Saint-Quentin (Aisne), the center operates 4 heavy imaging equipment and also provides the radiology service for the Saint-Claude Private Hospital clinic (ELSAN group), in addition to a city office.

A few days before the sale, the Hauts-de-France Regional Health Authority issued a new authorization for additional sectional imaging equipment, offering IMSC an additional growth driver.

This dynamic is part of a context where the needs for access to imagery and continuity of care are major challenges for territories.

Approaching his sixties, the sole shareholder radiologist wanted to prepare for his retirement and organize the transfer, in the best conditions, of a structure developed over more than 25 years.

He called on THM Capital Advisory to assist him in identifying potential buyers and in negotiating the terms of the transaction.

The choice of the transferor fell on the IMDEV group, presented as one of the leaders in medical imaging in France (120 centers, more than 130 associated doctors and 800,000 annual examinations).

As part of the operation, the radiologist will continue his activity for 5 years in order to ensure continuity of care for the center's patients, and has decided to reinvest significantly in IMDEV's capital, testifying to the trust established with the group's managers.

THM Capital Advisory advised the transferor as financial advisor (Thomas Mitard, Aurélien Prost), alongside Lawderis (Bertrand Araud, Yann Fouquet-Michel) as legal and tax advisor.
