Sacyr has sold a 49 % stake in two Spanish hospital concessions, the Hospital Infanta Cristina and the Hospital del Henares, to Lloyds Bank European Infrastructure Partners L.P. (LBEIP).

Lloyds' fund has paid an amount of €90.2 million for both stakes.

The European Commission (EC) authorized the sale on March 5th. The EC concluded that the sale will not cause competition concerns after studying the proposal submitted on 7 February 2014.
