Baraya Extended Care secures $124m for Saudi Arabia expansion

Yahoo2 days ago
Long-term care and rehabilitation services provider Baraya Extended Care has closed a Series B fundraising round, securing $124m to expand its network of inpatient facilities and outpatient clinics across Saudi Arabia.
Led by TVM Capital Healthcare through its TVM Healthcare Afiyah Fund, the funding also includes contributions from co-investors and exceeded its initial target.
Baraya Extended Care CEO Jad Halaby said: "With TVM Capital Healthcare's support and expertise in this healthcare vertical, we are uniquely positioned to combine international standards with local expertise, improving outcomes and quality of life for patients and families across Saudi Arabia."
This financial milestone arrives at a time when the nation is grappling with an aging population, a rise in chronic conditions, and a growing demand for specialised post-acute care.
These challenges are part of the broader context of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and Health Sector Transformation Program.
Baraya Extended Care, established in 2023, has already inaugurated two outpatient rehabilitation clinics in Jeddah and Riyadh, delivering over 9,000 sessions monthly.
The company also plans to open a 216-bed long-term care and rehabilitation hospital by early 2026.
TVM Capital Healthcare's investment in Baraya builds on its experience in the Middle Eastern post-acute care market, including previous investments in ProVita International Medical Center and Cambridge Medical & Rehabilitation Center (CMRC).
In these ventures, TVM Capital Healthcare played a role in shaping regulatory frameworks and developing specialised management and workforce strategies.
TVM Capital Healthcare managing partner and deal lead Orhan Osmansoy said: "With a scalable platform and plans to increase capacity to approximately 650 beds in the coming years, Baraya is well-positioned to become a leader in extended care services."
The investment will bolster Baraya's growth strategy, which encompasses the establishment of major inpatient facilities and outpatient clinics, following a hub-and-spoke model.

Expanded terminal at Leeds Bradford Airport officially opens

Leeds Bradford Airport has celebrated the opening of its newly expanded terminal. The airport marked the opening with an event hosted by CEO Vincent Hodder and attended by Katie White, MP for Leeds North West, as well as representatives from such organisations as Bradford City Council, West Yorkshire Combined Authority, and Jet2. Mr Hodder said: "It was an honour to have some of our most valued business partners with us to celebrate this historic milestone for Leeds Bradford Airport. "It has been an incredible journey to get here, and we know our customers are now enjoying a completely new experience from Leeds Bradford Airport. "It's an exciting time for us too - for our employees, stakeholders, and business partners. "The opening of this building is a huge achievement for all involved." The new terminal extension introduces what is described as a "modernised arrivals process," with a new baggage reclaim area and passport control facility, an 83 per cent increase in seating (including "uninterrupted views of the runway"), and a broader food and drink offering. Ms White said: "This £100 million investment in the airport is a real boost for West Yorkshire. "Leeds Bradford is where so many people start their holidays, visit family, or travel for work. "They deserve a smooth, welcoming experience. "We want the airport to reflect who we are: warm, proud, and open for business. "A modern terminal creates good jobs and shows visitors what we're all about." Tracy Brabin, mayor of West Yorkshire, said: "It was a pleasure to officially open the new terminal at Leeds Bradford Airport and see the improvements they've made for passengers. "West Yorkshire is thriving, and I am delighted to have a new, welcoming gateway that allows more people to enjoy all our region has to offer." Work has now started on the second phase of the project, which will see the refurbishment of the existing terminal. Leeds Bradford Airport is owned by InfraBridge and operated by Leeds Bradford Airport Limited. Airlines at the airport includeJet2, Ryanair, easyJet, Aer Lingus, KLM, Wizz Air, Tui, and SunExpress. The terminal expansion is part of LBA's Vision 2030 strategy, which aims to harness £200 million in private investment, create up to 5,500 jobs, and and contribute "nearly £1 billion" to the local economy.

KNDS owners explore IPO or stake sale amid defense sector interest

-- The German family shareholders of KNDS NV are looking to reduce their ownership in the European tankmaker through either a public listing or stake sale, as investor interest in defense companies grows, according to a Bloomberg report on Wednesday. The family members behind Krauss-Maffei Wegmann, which merged with France's Nexter to create KNDS, have reportedly notified the German government about their plans to sell part of their 50% stake. They are considering options including an initial public offering (IPO) and partial divestment. Berlin is in early stages of examining the purchase of a blocking minority of 25.1%. Several private equity firms, Middle Eastern wealth funds, German asset managers and family offices have shown early interest in acquiring a stake in the Franco-German land defense group. Investment firms including Advent, CVC Capital Partners Plc, KKR & Co (NYSE:KKR). and Warburg Pincus have begun preliminary discussions about a potential investment. An IPO remains the preferred option for KNDS owners to partially cash out their stake. They have been discussing with potential advisers about a listing that could happen next year, potentially valuing the defense company at €20 billion ($23 billion) or more. If they pursue a listing, the German family shareholders and the French government, which controls the other 50%, might each sell slightly more than 10% of their stakes. At the same time, the German families, including the Bode and Braunbehrens clans, are receiving interest from financial investors as they seek to reduce their stake further. The family shareholders might also consider interest from large industry peers like Rheinmetall (ETR:RHMG) AG. Any new shareholders would likely need approval from the German government. If an IPO or stake sale doesn't materialize, the German family owners might even consider breaking up the company to facilitate an eventual exit. This would undo the 2015 merger of Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and Nexter. This option is currently viewed only as a backup plan but might be favored by some German lawmakers and labor unions while giving the family more flexibility to sell their stake. The final decision is complicated by the German-French ownership structure, with both sides able to block strategic changes, and differences among some individual family members.
