September 17, 2004 - Alcatel to sell its electrical power system activities to Ripplewood |
|
| |
|
Alcatel (CGEP.PA and NYSE: ALA) has signed an agreement with the global private equity firm Ripplewood to divest all of its electrical power system activities. The power system activities provide high-quality power solutions, securing and protecting critical business equipment against failures or disturbances. The activities are comprised of the AEG SVS Power Supply Systems, Alcatel Converters, Harmer+Simmons and Saft Power Systems business lines. They offer one of the widest ranges of services, systems and products (power systems, uninterruptible power supplies, power controllers, converters…) to diverse end-markets, such as transportation, energy and water, industries and telecommunications. Alcatel's power system activities employ approximately 1300 people in 16 countries and had approximately 220 million euros of sales in 2003.
Alcatel has met today with the employee representatives of the concerned units to inform them of this project about which they will be consulted in the coming weeks. This transaction will allow Alcatel to further focus on its core business: Telecommunications systems and solutions. It will also allow Ripplewood to complement its portfolio of industrial companies. Financial details of the transaction are not disclosed.
"With this proposed transaction, we have reached the end of the component activities divestiture program within the framework of focusing on telecommunication solutions. Furthermore, the backing of an investment company will provide the power system activities with increased financial flexibility to strongly support its development", stated Jean-Pascal Beaufret, Chief Financial Officer of Alcatel.
"We are excited about the growth prospects and profit potential for the power system activities, and look forward to providing support to the business to enhance its market position. Bruce Brock, a proven power electronics executive, will act as Ripplewood's Industrial Partner for this investment", said Donald Wagner, Ripplewood Managing Director.
Closing is expected in the fourth quarter of 2004, subject to regulatory approvals.

September 20, 2004 - Power Solutions for a world on the move, READY FOR THE FUTURE |
|
| |
|
Dear Customers and Partners,
Alcatel announced on Friday, September 17th that it has signed an agreement to divest the activities of its Power Systems Division to the global private equity firm Ripplewood Holdings LLC.
As indicated in the attached Alcatel announcement, the activities include those of Alcatel Converters, Saft Power Systems, AEG SVS Power Supply Systems, and Harmer+Simmons legal units.
The Power Systems Division referred as Saft Power Systems is responsible for the global development, production and services of a wide range of AC and DC electrical power conversion, control, and no-break solutions. With a permanent direct presence in 16 countries and partners in more than 80 countries, the support of our customers is always local.
Ripplewood is a private equity firm that currently manages approximately $4 billion USD of private equity capital and is led in the Power Electronics sector by its Partner Bruce Brock, former president and COO of Lucent Power Systems. After successfully building Lucent Power Systems into a world leader in the power industry, Bruce partnered with some of his former associates to form The Brock Group with the intent to join Ripplewood in acquiring an industry-leading power platform. Mr. Brock is a proven executive with over 30 years of experience in building shareholder value within various industrial and technology based businesses.
Our future group will merge both management teams to continue our strong focus on customer needs while driving the business strategically as a market leader in high reliability power equipment and service. Backed by the resources of Ripplewood Holdings, the new company will be a strategic and central platform for growth in the industry. It's our intention to focus heavily on our existing customers, growing the business where we are already established while simultaneously developing new markets and opportunities. Collectively, we will continue to intensify our efforts to control costs, constantly improve our service levels, and invest in leading edge technology.
I recognize that the initial reaction to any change is typically one of concern, but in this case, I am convinced that this change offers an excellent opportunity to strengthen our relationship. The new partnership of Ripplewood, The Brock Group, and the current Power Systems Management Team will bring an unprecedented level of energy to our company that will result in constant improvement in the quality and innovation in our products and services. Our new business will be customerfocused and market-driven, and strategically determined to meet your needs.
After the arrangement receives regulatory approval in the fourth quarter of 2004, our management team looks forward to meeting you personally and successfully working with you for many years to provide superior products and services in a timely manner at a competitive cost.
Best regards,
Gilles Esprit
Executive Vice President
