Investor supports ABB's plan to spin off its robotics division

As announced today, ABB plans to spin off its robotics division into a new, separately listed, company to be distributed to ABB's shareholders. As ABB's largest shareholder, Investor fully supports this plan.

"As a long-term shareholder of ABB, we believe that the planned spin-off is an industrially logical step, creating two companies with further sharpened focus, strong potential for continued profitable growth and long-term value creation for their shareholders. Upon completion of the spin-off, expected during the second quarter 2026, the new company will be included in Investor's Listed Companies portfolio", comments Christian Cederholm, President and CEO of Investor.

Investor is ABB's largest shareholder, holding 14.3 percent of the capital and votes respectively.
