Ardian has signed a binding agreement to sell 100% of HISI, a healthcare and infrastructure investment holding company, to the Ania 2 fund managed by F2i SGR.

HISI was founded in 2007. It was one of the first investments of Ardian's infrastructure team in Italy. The company is dedicated to investments in the hospital public-to-private partnerships sector.

The portfolio involves the acquisition of around 900 beds in two important hospitals in northern Italy:

• the New Legnano hospital (in Lombardy, 550 beds)
• the Alba-Bra hospital (in Piedmont, 350 beds)

The closing of the sale is expected by Q2 of 2023.
