thyssenkrupp sells its Elevator Technology business entirely to a consortium led by Advent, Cinven and RAG foundation. The respective Executive Board decision was approved on Thursday evening by the Supervisory Board of thyssenkrupp AG. The purchase agreement has been signed.
蒂森克虜伯將把電梯技術業務整體出售給由安宏資本、盛峰資本和RAG基金會組成的聯合財團。蒂森克虜伯監事會已于星期四晚審議通過了各董事會的決議。購買協議已經簽訂。
Closing of the transaction is expected by the end of the current fiscal year. The purchase price is €17.2 billion. thyssenkrupp will reinvest part of the purchase price (€1.25 billion) in a stake in the elevator business. The transaction is subject to merger control approvals, although thyssenkrupp does not expect the competent authorities to have any reservations. The proceeds from the transaction will remain within the company and are to be used to the extent necessary to strengthen the balance sheet.
該交易將在本財政年度結束前完成（2020年6月30日前），交易價格為172億歐元。蒂森克虜伯將把出售價格中的12.5億歐元作為股份重新投資到出售的電梯業務中。盡管蒂森克虜伯不希望主管部門有所保留，但交易需要得到合并控制的通過。由該交易獲得的收益將留在公司內部，計劃在必要時候用于擴大資產負債表。
Alongside this, the proceeds shall be used to advance the development of the remaining businesses and the portfolio. As announced at the Annual General Meeting at the end of January, thyssenkrupp is proceeding the analysis phase so that a decision on the concrete use of funds can be taken in May.
除此以外，交易收益還會用于促進其他現存業務及投資組合的發展。一月底的年度股東大會宣布，蒂森克虜伯將繼續分析討論，在5月對該筆收益的具體使用方式形成決議。
Martina Merz, CEO of thyssenkrupp AG: “With the sale, we are paving the way for thyssenkrupp to become successful. Not only have we obtained a very good selling price, we will also be able to complete the transaction quickly. It is now crucial for us to find the best possible balance for the use of the funds. We will reduce thyssenkrupp’s debt as far as is necessary and at the same time invest as much as is reasonable in developing the company. With this, thyssenkrupp can pick up speed again.”
Martina Merz說：“通過這次交易，我們正在把蒂森克虜伯的成功之路鋪得更好。我們不僅僅可以把電梯業務賣個好價錢，還能夠快速地完成交易。這對我們找到**的平衡點去使用這筆交易收益來說極其重要的。我們會減少蒂森克虜伯的必**務，同時合理地對公司未來發展進行投資。出售電梯業務，蒂森克虜伯可以再次加速發展?！?/span>
The sale of Elevator is a favorable solution not only for the company, its shareholders, customers and employees, but also for the elevator business itself. In the consortium, thyssenkrupp has found new owners for the elevator business who have extensive in**l expertise and offer the workforce a high degree of security. The buyers have a strong track record in profitably growing and nurturing companies to become global champions.
出售電梯業務，不僅對公司、股東、客戶及員工有利，更是對電梯業務本身的發展有利。在財團中，蒂森克虜伯為其電梯業務找好了新東家，通過廣泛的工業專業知識，為勞動者提供高度的安全保障。收購方在促進公司利潤迅速增長并將公司培養成為全球**企業這方面有著非常良好的記錄。 In negotiations with employee representatives and the IG metall trade union, the buyers have committed to far-reaching site and employment guarantees. In addition, it was agreed that the buyers will continue to manage thyssenkrupp Elevator as a global group. The company will also remain based in Germany and employee co-determination will continue. That means the solution is in line with thyssenkrupp"s un**nding of corporate and social responsibility.
在與雇員代表和德國金屬貿易工會磋商的過程中，收購方提供了員工的就業**。另外，收購方還將繼續把蒂森克虜伯電梯業務作為全球集團來經營，總部仍在德國，并繼續實行共同決議制。這意味著此舉與蒂森克虜伯對企業和社會責任的理解是的。
“We are not pleased to part with our employees and the elevator business. Nevertheless, today is a good day for everyone involved. With this step, we are opening up real prospects for the future: for the elevator business as an independent company and, with the financial solidity we have gained, also for all other areas of thyssenkrupp," Martina Merz added.
“我們不希望和員工及電梯業務分別。盡管如此，今天對每一位參與者來說都是一個好日子。通過出售電梯業務，我們**地打開了對未來的展望：電梯業務成為獨立的公司，以及通過我們獲得的財務基礎，發展蒂森克虜伯其他業務”，Martina Merz說道。
Transaction strengthens thyssenkrupp’s equity base
電梯業務交易將增加蒂森克虜伯凈資產
thyssenkrupp aims to use the cash inflow to the extent necessary to cut debt and to lower structural costs. Specifically, the company’s pension obligations are to be partially funded. For this purpose, funds shall be brought under a legally independent trust. It is planned that alongside cash the reinvestment in the elevator business will be transferred to the trust so that it can participate in the expected value uplift of the business. Furthermore, thyssenkrupp plans to use a part of the proceeds to reduce financial debt significantly. As a result, annual cash outflow for interest and pension payments are expected to be significantly reduced. Thus, the company’s structural costs could be considerably lowered. This would largely compensate for the future loss of positive cash contributions from the elevator business.
蒂森克虜伯公司旨在通過現金流入來盡可能地減少債務和降低結構性成本，尤其為養老金負債籌集到部分資金。為此，應當成立一個合法獨立的信托，為養老金負債提供資金。按計劃，除了交易中收到的部分現金，蒂森克虜伯對電梯業務的再投資也將轉入該信托，以便參與電梯業務未來的價值提升。再者，蒂森克虜伯計劃用一部分的交易收益來大幅降低債務。因此，債務利息和養老金的年度現金支出將大大減少，公司的結構成本也隨之驟減。這將大大填補了因失去電梯業務而損失的現金收入。
Upon closing of the transaction, thyssenkrupp AG’s equity base will be significantly strengthened. The company is aiming for an investment-grade rating. In addition, thyssenkrupp works towards regaining the ability for a regular dividend payout. Free cash flow before M&A is to be improved and brought into positive figures within the next two years.
一旦交易完成，蒂森克虜伯的凈資產將大幅增加，以便公司達到獲得更好的投資價值評級的目標。同時，蒂森克虜伯也在爭取重新獲得支付正常股息的能力。企業并購前的自由現金流將得到改善，并在未來兩年內達到較高的數量水平。
Rapid implementation of Group restructuring targeted
集團目標結構重組加速進行
With its regained financial solidity, thyssenkrupp will have greater scope to implement its transformation. The primary goal is rapid and substantial improvement in the performance of the businesses (“performance first”). The necessary measures are by large extent already identified and are currently being implemented.
重獲財務穩定后，蒂森克虜伯有更多的能力進行結構轉型。基本目標是快速且明顯地改善各業務績效，即“績效**”。公司已經基本上找到必要措施，并且正在貫徹落實。
In addition, thyssenkrupp has announced that it will draw up specific plans for the further development of the various businesses and present them to the Supervisory Board in May. On this basis, thyssenkrupp then intends to make portfolio decisions such as which businesses it will continue to develop on its own, which are more likely to attain a leading position in an alliance and which would develop better under new ownership. thyssenkrupp will thus be in a position to consequently move forward with the implementation of the measures and the restructuring of the company once payment of the purchase price has been received.
此外，蒂森克虜伯宣布將為各業務部門的未來發展制定具體計劃，并將在5月遞交給監事會。在此基礎上，蒂森克虜伯隨后擬將做出投資組合的決定，比如哪些業務可以繼續發展，哪些業務可以在合作中占據主導地位，哪些業務可以在新東家底下可以發展得更好。這樣，蒂森克虜伯才能在交易支付對價完成后，有序落實有關措施，實現公司重組目標。
