An agreement has been reached to sell all outstanding shares in Systemair S.r.l, and Tecnair S.p.A in Italy, and in due course the business conducted by the air-conditioning sales employees in Systemair GmbH in Germany. The transfer of sales employees from Systemair GmbH is subject to HR consultations in Germany. Furthermore, Panasonic has offered to acquire all outstanding shares in Systemair AC SAS from Systemair, subject to an option that could be exercised by Systemair following works council consultations in France.

The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals, completion of necessary HR consultations and standard closing conditions, with forecasted closing during the first half of 2023.

The consolidated rolling 12 months revenues, August 1st 2021 to July 31st 2022, of the air-conditioning business amounted to 69 million Euros with a profit margin below Systemair group average, and it employs approximately 400 FTEs. The contemplated transaction will result in an estimated capital gain of approximately 45 million Euros.

We made the decision to sell the air-conditioning business in Italy and Germany, and intend to sell the air-conditioning business in France, because we are confident that focusing on our core business, ventilation, will strengthen our offering to our customers and is in line with our strategy. Systemair strives to be the best partners for our customers by continuing to provide best-in-class ventilation products, heat pumps, and integrated heat pump solutions in our ventilation systems.

We have expanded the scope of collaboration such as by selling our residential air-to-water heat pumps in combination with Systemair's total heat exchangers. By combining Systemair's commercial air-conditioning technologies and our inverter and energy-saving technologies, we will accelerate to provide high value-added solutions required by our customers.
