Fresenius Medical Care Closes Acquisition of Liberty Dialysis Holdings

Bad Homburg, Germany - Fresenius Medical Care AG&Co. KGaA (the 'company'
or 'Fresenius Medical Care'; Frankfurt Stock Exchange: FME / New York Stock
Exchange: FMS), the world's largest provider of dialysis products and
services, today announced that Fresenius Medical Care North America has
closed the acquisition of Liberty Dialysis Holdings, Inc., the holding
company of Liberty Dialysis and Renal Advantage. The closing follows the
completion of the review of the transaction and issuance of a consent
decree by the United States' Federal Trade Commission. In connection with
the consent decree, Fresenius Medical Care intends to divest 62 dialysis
clinics. The acquisition of Liberty Dialysis Holdings Inc. is expected to
add annual revenues of around $ 700 million and 201 clinics to Fresenius
Medical Care's network for an investment, net of proceeds from the
divestiture, of approximately $1.5 billion.

Rice Powell, chief executive officer of Fresenius Medical Care North
America and deputy chairman of Fresenius Medical Care commented, 'We're
excited to add the teams from Liberty Dialysis and Renal Advantage to our
network. Both companies have shown superior growth and solid clinical


outcomes, which are testaments to the strength of their management teams
and the dedication of their physician leadership. The combination of these
businesses with the resources and committed team at Fresenius Medical Care
will further enhance our standing as North America's premier renal care
network.'
