As part of our transformation program “PSI Reloaded”, we will focus on our core businesses in the future and are pleased to have found the perfect partner for the future growth of PSI Transcom GmbH through today's transaction.”

Closing of the transaction requires the approval of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action, as the products of PSI Transcom GmbH are part of Germany's critical infrastructure.
