Medical Care Closes Acquisition of Liberty Dialysis Holdings

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."
