Today the shareholders of Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy,
S.A. (SGRE) have approved the delisting of the company from Spanish Stock
Exchanges at an Extraordinary General Meeting. 98.43% of shareholders voted
today in favour of the motion to delist the company. For the company to
actually be delisted, it still needs approval from the Spanish National
Securities Market Commission (CNMV).
Christian Bruch, CEO of Siemens Energy and non-executive
Chairman of the Board of Directors of SGRE, said: "Resolving the current
challenges at Siemens Gamesa and turning around the business is the number one
priority. Jochen Eickholt and his team have started to implement extensive
changes and we have seen initial positive impact. The delisting will help the
team focus entirely on solving operational issues. This is the right thing to
do to get Siemens Gamesa back on track and I appreciate the decision of the
outstanding shareholders to support our efforts to return to
profitability."
The delisting follows a voluntary cash tender offer by
Siemens Energy: SGRE’s minority shareholders were offered € 18.05 per share in
cash. The acceptance period for the offer ran from 8 November 2022 until 13
December 2022. At the end of the acceptance period, Siemens Energy’s total
shareholding in SGRE stood at 92.72%. The SGRE shareholders are still able to
sell their shares under a sustained purchase order, which will be in force
until the date on which CNMV suspends the trading of the shares of SGRE as
preliminary step to the delisting.
The delisting is expected
to take place within the next month following approval by the CNMV.
