The transaction is expected to be completed at the beginning of 2019 and to generate a book profit of around EUR 35 million. The sale is subject to approval by the relevant (competition) authorities.<\/p>\n<p>AIO II is the holding company of pharmacy chain Medsen and wholesale chemist Ceban, and is incorporated in Breda. Van Lanschot Kempen has held an equity stake in AIO II since 2009, when it acquired a minority interest through a debt-for-equity swap. The company staged a robust development in the years that followed. In 2016, Van Lanschot Kempen exercised its option to expand its stake to a majority interest of 72%.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017 and the first half of 2018, AIO II made contributions to Van Lanschot Kempen\u2019s net profit of \u20ac11.8 million and \u20ac6.7 million respectively (based on a 100% stake).<\/p>\n<p>Van Lanschot Kempen\u2019s sale of AIO II fits in with its strategy for its non-strategic investments.
