Global Health Partner AB (”GHP” or the “Company”) – a Swedish healthcare company operating specialised clinics in Sweden and UK – has applied to list on the OMX Nordic Exchange Stockholm.
Since its foundation in 2006, GHP has undertaken an extensive acquisition and growth strategy and established clinics in the areas of spine surgery, dental implant surgery, bariatric surgery and obesity treatment, and orthopaedic surgery and sports-medicine. GHP has the ambition to take the delivery of healthcare service beyond the standards and expectations created by the first generation of European-based private healthcare providers and to continue its growth strategy.
In order to facilitate GHP’s continued development and growth, and to fulfil OMX Nordic Exchange Stockholm’s ownership distribution requirements, the Board and the company’s shareholders have resolved to broaden the shareholder base by a new issue of shares. The Company Committee of the OMX Nordic Exchange Stockholm has decided to approve GHP for listing provided that the distribution requirement is met.

The majority of our current operations are carried out in Scandinavia and our corporate headquarters and senior management are based in Gothenburg. In addition, the perceived appetite for GHP shares, among both institutions and private investors, and the access to the capital markets in Sweden are improved by this listing”, says Per Båtelson, CEO and Co-Founder of GHP.
