Trends magazine awards Aedifica ‘Deal of the Year’

Every year, the Belgian financial magazine Trends presents a number of awards. While earlier this year we missed out on the ‘CEO of the Year’ award, we did win another award.

Aedifica’s landmark transaction with Cofinimmo, in which we created Europe’s largest healthcare REIT through an exchange offer, was honoured as ‘Deal of the Year’.

“The deal creates a European leader in healthcare real estate with a property portfolio of €12 billion. The increased scale should make the group more attractive to institutional investors and should result in lower financing and capital costs. In this way, the merged group is ideally positioned at the start of a new growth cycle in healthcare real estate.”
Trends magazine praises Aedifica’s exchange offer.

Congratulations to Sonaca & Aikido Security, who also received a Trends Deal of the Year award.

This is not the first time Aedifica has won this award; we did so back in 2019 following our expansion into the United Kingdom. In 2021, when Aedifica CFO Ingrid Daerden was named Trends CFO of the Year, the deal with Hoivatilat was also recognised with a place on the shortlist for Deal of the Year.
