DEUTZ AG sells DEUTZ Power Systems to 3i and continues with strategy of
focus

DEUTZ AG has signed an agreement to sell its gas-engines and diesel-engines
business for decentralised power generation (DEUTZ Power Systems) to 3i.
The agreed purchase price is €360 million. The transaction is expected to
close by the end of the third quarter. The sale is subject to approval by
the Supervisory Board of DEUTZ AG and the antitrust authorities.
The overlap between DEUTZ Power Systems and the Compact Engines business of
DEUTZ AG is limited as business processes, customer profiles and market
characteristics differ. The transaction concludes the process of focussing
on Compact Engines following the exit from the medium and large size marine
business.
