A&O Shearman has advised BNP Paribas Bank Polska, mBank, Bank Pekao, PKO Bank Polski, and Citi on financing the American Heart of Poland. Dentons advised the borrower.
According to A&O Shearman, "amongst other things, the proceeds of the financing were used by the American Heart of Poland for the acquisition of Grupa Scanmed from Abris Capital Partners" (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on May 13, 2024).
According to Dentons, the PLN 1.57 billion facilities will be used to "finance potential acquisitions and organic growth of AHP Group. The financing also allows AHP Group to incur additional 'second lien' indebtedness and vendor loan subordinated debt."
