蒂森克虏伯**执行官Martina Merz说：“通过出售电梯业务，蒂森克虏伯就可以再次加速前进。我们将减少必要的公司债务，同时，合理地对未来的发展进行投资。”
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.
蒂森克虏伯将把电梯技术业务整体出售给由安宏资本、盛峰资本和RAG基金会组成的联合财团。蒂森克虏伯监事会已于星期四晚审议通过了各董事会的决议。购买协议已经签订。
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.
该交易将在本财政年度结束前完成（2020年6月30日前），交易价格为172亿欧元。蒂森克虏伯将把出售价格中的12.5亿欧元作为股份重新投资到出售的电梯业务中。尽管蒂森克虏伯不希望主管部门有所保留，但交易需要得到合并控制的通过。由该交易获得的收益将留在公司内部，计划在必要时候用于扩大资产负债表。
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，交易收益还会用于促进其他现存业务及投资组合的发展。一月底的年度股东大会宣布，蒂森克虏伯将继续分析讨论，在5月对该笔收益的具体使用方式形成决议。
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说：“通过这次交易，我们正在把蒂森克虏伯的成功之路铺得更好。我们不仅仅可以把电梯业务卖个好价钱，还能够快速地完成交易。这对我们找到**的平衡点去使用这笔交易收益来说极其重要的。我们会减少蒂森克虏伯的必**务，同时合理地对公司未来发展进行投资。出售电梯业务，蒂森克虏伯可以再次加速发展。”
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.
出售电梯业务，不仅对公司、股东、客户及员工有利，更是对电梯业务本身的发展有利。在财团中，蒂森克虏伯为其电梯业务找好了新东家，通过广泛的工业专业知识，为劳动者提供高度的安全保障。收购方在促进公司利润迅速增长并将公司培养成为全球**企业这方面有着非常良好的记录。 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.
在与雇员代表和德国金属贸易工会磋商的过程中，收购方提供了员工的就业**。另外，收购方还将继续把蒂森克虏伯电梯业务作为全球集团来经营，总部仍在德国，并继续实行共同决议制。这意味着此举与蒂森克虏伯对企业和社会责任的理解是的。
“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.
“我们不希望和员工及电梯业务分别。尽管如此，今天对每一位参与者来说都是一个好日子。通过出售电梯业务，我们**地打开了对未来的展望：电梯业务成为独立的公司，以及通过我们获得的财务基础，发展蒂森克虏伯其他业务”，Martina Merz说道。
Transaction strengthens thyssenkrupp’s equity base
电梯业务交易将增加蒂森克虏伯净资产
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.
蒂森克虏伯公司旨在通过现金流入来尽可能地减少债务和降低结构性成本，尤其为养老金负债筹集到部分资金。为此，应当成立一个合法独立的信托，为养老金负债提供资金。按计划，除了交易中收到的部分现金，蒂森克虏伯对电梯业务的再投资也将转入该信托，以便参与电梯业务未来的价值提升。再者，蒂森克虏伯计划用一部分的交易收益来大幅降低债务。因此，债务利息和养老金的年度现金支出将大大减少，公司的结构成本也随之骤减。这将大大填补了因失去电梯业务而损失的现金收入。
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，蒂森克虏伯的净资产将大幅增加，以便公司达到获得更好的投资价值评级的目标。同时，蒂森克虏伯也在争取重新获得支付正常股息的能力。企业并购前的自由现金流将得到改善，并在未来两年内达到较高的数量水平。
Rapid implementation of Group restructuring targeted
集团目标结构重组加速进行
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.
重获财务稳定后，蒂森克虏伯有更多的能力进行结构转型。基本目标是快速且明显地改善各业务绩效，即“绩效**”。公司已经基本上找到必要措施，并且正在贯彻落实。
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，蒂森克虏伯宣布将为各业务部门的未来发展制定具体计划，并将在5月递交给监事会。在此基础上，蒂森克虏伯随后拟将做出投资组合的决定，比如哪些业务可以继续发展，哪些业务可以在合作中占据主导地位，哪些业务可以在新东家底下可以发展得更好。这样，蒂森克虏伯才能在交易支付对价完成后，有序落实有关措施，实现公司重组目标。
