Pirelli sells its stake in Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks
Alcatel-Lucent and Pirelli reached an agreement for sale of the stake held by Pirelli in Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks, a company operating in submarine telecommunications systems, to Alcatel-Lucent. The transaction was carried out following Pirelli's exercise of a put option agreed on between the two companies in 2004, at the time of the agreement where Alcatel acquired certain Pirelli assets in submarine systems. The sale, for an overall value of 56 million euros, will occur in three tranches by the end of 2009.Pirelli sells its stake in Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks
Pirelli's withdrawal from the business is coherent with the strategy of focusing on its core business as announced by the Group on the occasion of the presentation of the 2009-2011 industrial plan.
