WA-01120

General Dental Holdings Pty Ltd (trading as **Impression Dental Group**) proposes to acquire 100% of the assets of the dental practice known as Blackburn Clinic Dental Centre (**Blackburn Dental Centre**) through a business sale agreement. Blackburn Dental Centre is owned by dentists Dr Andrea Manley and Dr Konstantina Liosis, both personally and through a combination of corporate entities and corporate trusts and supplies general dental services from its clinic in Blackburn, in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria. Impression Dental Group is an Australian-based dental support organisation that provides centralised services including recruitment, payroll, marketing, IT, finance, and operations, to enable dental practitioners to focus on providing dental services. It currently owns and supports 35 independently branded dental practices in Australia which provide dental services to the public, but Impression Dental Group currently does not have any practices in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. Impression Dental Group is controlled by Genesis Capital (**Genesis**), an Australian-based private equity firm that invests in businesses operating in the healthcare sector. Genesis Capital’s investments also include Pacific Smiles Group which sets up new dental centres from which dentists run their practice and provides operational support. Pacific Smiles Group has over 120 dental centres across Australia, including 3 in neighbouring suburbs to Blackburn (Doncaster East, Ringwood and Glen Waverley). Pacific Smiles Group’s dental centres are typically located inside shopping centres and operate under the Pacific Smiles Dental and nib Dental Care brands on the East Coast.
