The shareholders will be asked to vote on the various resolutions needed to execute the merger with Siemens Wind Power.

In the wake of the exchange, Siemens will own 59% of the company and Iberdrola will own 8%.
According to the companies, the merger between Gamesa and Siemens's wind power business will give rise to a leading global wind player with 69 GW installed base worldwide, an order backlog of €21 billion, revenue of €9.9 billion and adjusted EBIT of €915 million, using pro forma figures for the last 12 months as of June 2016.
