Konecranes completes the divestment of its STAHL CraneSystems business
KONECRANES PLC STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE January 31, 2017 at 14.30 EET
Konecranes has today completed the divestment of its STAHL CraneSystems
business (“STAHL Divestment”) to Columbus McKinnon Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCO)
(“Columbus McKinnon”). The STAHL Divestment related to the European
Commission’s approval of Konecranes’ acquisition of Terex Corporation’s MHPS
business (“MHPS Acquisition”), which was conditional on Konecranes divesting
its STAHL CraneSystems business.
The final selling price was EUR 224 million. Additionally, Columbus McKinnon
assumed unfunded pension liabilities that were EUR 67 million as of December
31, 2016. Konecranes expects to book an after-tax capital gain of approximately
EUR 200 million from the STAHL Divestment in the first quarter of 2017.
Konecranes will use the proceeds from the STAHL CraneSystems divestment to
amortize the loans related to the MHPS Acquisition.
