Schneider Electric SE (SU.FR) said Monday that it has entered
exclusive negotiations with the U.S. private-equity firm Transom
Capital Group over the sale of its Pelco video-surveillance
business unit.
The proposed transaction follows a strategic review on assets
totalling 1.5 billion euros ($1.7 billion) and EUR2 billion
announced in Schneider's 2018 results, the French energy-management
company said.
The transaction would be subject to the consultation of the
relevant work councils and would be finalized after the completion
of this process. It would trigger a noncash loss of disposal of up
to EUR250 million, Schneider said. The net impact of this would be
excluded from the net income used for dividend calculation, it
said.
