I would like to thank and congratulate Dr. Carlos Sampaio and the management team.”

On behalf of AMO’s controlling shareholders, Dr. Carlos Sampaio noted: “In the last three years of our partnership with H.I.G., AMO has grown and strengthened itself, consolidating its position as the leading oncology center in the northeast after successfully entering in the states of Sergipe and Rio Grande do Norte. We are thankful to H.I.G. for having believed in our business and expansion plan; sharing the vision of offering the most advanced and comprehensive oncology treatments to patients; for its partnership; and for being part of this successful investment.
