This is with reference to the previous letter, in which Siemens AG's board of directors approved the sale of its energy business segment, the company's filing on PSX revealed today. 

The Board of Directors of SIEM, in their meeting held on March 10, 2023, granted in-principle approval for the spin-off of the Energy Business, in line with SIEM AG's spin-off of its energy business in 2020.

It also considers certain contractual subsequent events in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement to be executed with the buyer.

The closure of the transaction shall remain subject to shareholders' and other regulatory approvals.
