P+P advises EQT on sale of Charleston to KOS and a real estate portfolio to Primovie
KOS is a leading Italian healthcare group generating EUR 545 million in revenue by offering integrated nursing care services with more than 8,150 beds.
Primonial is a major European real estate investment manager with EUR 17.2 billion in assets under management, focused on healthcare and education.
EQT founded Charleston in 2014. Headquartered in Füssen, Germany, Charleston operates 47 nursing homes with 4,050 beds and seven out-patient nursing locations. The company generates more than EUR 160 million in revenue and has around 3,400 employees.
