The business sold accounted for approximately 300 million euros in revenues for full-year 2023/24, the group said in a statement, adding that it will continue to serve the North American signaling market in other segments.

The proceeds from the sale, net of expected tax and transaction costs, should amount to around 620 million euros.

The deal is expected to close as soon as the summer, Alstom said, following regulatory approval.
