The EU Commission has approved Siemens’ bid to take over Austria’s VA
Technologie AG (VA TECH). The decision was announced in Brussels
today. This marks the conclusion of the antitrust review of the
takeover offer made by Siemens AG Österreich in December 2004. When
the deal is closed in a few days, Siemens will hold 97.15 percent of
the VA TECH stock. The purchase price is approximately 1 billion
euros. For competitive reasons, the European antitrust regulators did
not approve a merger of the VA TECH hydropower activities with
Siemens. As a result, Siemens will immediately initiate the sale of
the VA TECH power generation unit.
Following the closing, it is intended to initiate a squeeze-out
procedure in order to buy out the remaining owners of VA TECH shares
in scattered holdings and to undertake a delisting of VA TECH.
