Siemens announced plans for a shareholder vote in February 2027 to directly spin off Siemens Healthineers shares. This move follows significant progress in the separation and regulatory clarification processes, though final regulatory confirmation is pending.
Shareholders will receive Siemens Healthineers AG shares directly. Currently, Siemens holds a 67% stake and intends to transfer 30% to its shareholders, relinquishing majority control.
Siemens no longer considers medical technology, including X-ray machines and laboratory systems, as part of its core business. Siemens Healthineers was initially spun off in 2018, with the parent company retaining a majority ownership until this planned divestment.
