- Siemens intends to acquire 18% in
Siemens Ltd. India for a purchase price of 2.1 billion euro
- Siemens and Siemens Energy will
jointly propose to the Board of Directors of Siemens Ltd. India to separate the
energy business by way of a demerger
- Simplification of corporate setup in
one of the fastest growing and strategically important markets
- Siemens has agreed with Siemens
Energy indirect financial measures totaling one billion euro to allow third
parties to arrange guarantees for Siemens Energy
Siemens AG has taken measures to support the stability
of Siemens Energy AG and accelerate separation in India – in the best possible
interests of all parties. Specifically, Siemens intends to enter into a share
purchase agreement with Siemens Energy to acquire an 18% stake in Siemens Ltd.
India from Siemens Energy for a purchase price of 2.1 billion euro in cash.
This would increase Siemens’ stake in the publicly listed Siemens Ltd. India from
51% to 69%, while Siemens Energy’s stake would decrease from 24% to 6%. With
the intended acquisition, Siemens and Siemens Energy accelerate unbundling the
business activities of the Indian subsidiary of Siemens. The
purchase price reflects a customary discount of 15% on the 5-trading-days volume-weighted
average price before the day of signing. Siemens will provide no new guarantees to Siemens Energy.
