Chief Financial Officer Timo Ihamuotila will stay in his job and
altogether 10 out of a total 13 members in the planned group
leadership team come from Nokia.
Nokia said it planned to report its results as two divisions,
Networks business and Nokia Technologies, which includes patents
and new technologies.
The networks division would be split into four business groups:
Mobile Networks, Fixed Networks, Applications & Analytics and
IP/Optical Networks, but it would have a common sales
organization.
Alcatel had previously planned to sell a majority stake in its
undersea cables business, but on Tuesday it decided to keep it,
and Nokia expects to operate it as a separate entity.
The 15.6 billion euro ($17.55 billion) all-share acquisition of
Alcatel-Lucent is expected to be closed in the first half of
next year.
