Metso and Valmet demerger process

[Helge Keitel]

Key points of the demerger

The Extraordinary General Meeting of Metso approved the demerger on October 1, 2013.

There will be two differentiated technology companies.

After the demerger Metso's Pulp, paper and power business will form a new company Valmet corporation.

Mining and Construction and Automation business will form the continuing operations of Metso Corporation.

I guess, the Kajaani Metso will continue to operate under the name of "Metso".

What will this mean?

Is the demerger going to boost growth?

Time will show.
