OREANDA-NEWS. Power Machines by Alexei Mordashov decided to sell their 35 percent stake in Siemens Gas Turbine Technology to their main owner, German Siemens. Now the parties have several months to agree on the transaction price, the Russian newspaper reported on Monday, citing sources.

According to the publication, according to the conditions for the creation of the joint venture, Power Machines has every three years an option to sell its stake in the joint venture. Negotiations on the sale began in January of this year and should be completed within two months (the “window” for the option opened on December 2). If during this period the companies are unable to agree on the value of the transaction, an independent appraiser will join.

As a source close to Power Machines told the newspaper, the company's share can be estimated at $ 5-6 million, since the enterprise does not have full-cycle production. Power Machines declined to comment; Siemens didn't respond to the publication’s request.

The media notes that, having bought the share of Power Machines, Siemens will have to attract another Russian investor in the joint venture, which, according to the newspaper, could become Gazprom Energoholding. Power Machines owns 35% in the joint venture, Siemens - 65%.
