HMP to acquire Provascular.

HMP, a leading global organizer of healthcare events and education, agreed to acquire Provascular, a German-based company producing cardiovascular education and events. Full terms of the agreement were not disclosed. "HMP Europe and the acquisition of Provascular represent important milestones in the growth of this company. With the launch of HMP Europe, we will have an established presence in the region, where we already produce several congresses each year. This new division will allow us to accelerate opportunities we've identified in the region, which was a key factor driving this move. We continue to deliver on our vision of building a global, best-in-class healthcare events company and our mission to improve patient care around the world." Jeff Hennessy, chairman and CEO, HMP.
