The Areva group signed an agreement setting out the legal and financial terms and conditions for the disposal of its Transmission and Distribution business.

The decision to sell ArevaÂ’s Transmission and Distribution business was taken by the Supervisory Board on June 30, 2009 after a review of the groupÂ’s development plan.
