ZURICH, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Siemens SIEGn.DE said on Wednesday it would cut its 35 billion euro ($41 billion) stake in medical products maker Siemens Healthineers SHLG.DE by giving shares in the medical equipment maker to its own shareholders.
The German engineering group will reduce its current holding of 67% in Healthineers by transferring 30% of its stock to its shareholders via a direct spin off, it said.
