飞利浦宣布公司将更名为Signify
作为全球最大的照明设备制造商，“飞利浦照明”这一名称即将成为历史。3月16日，公司计划将名称“飞利浦照明”改为Signify。飞利浦照明官方称，新公司名称源自对照明的全新定义：光已成为一种智能语言，连接和传递信息。根据飞利浦照明同皇家飞利浦签订的公司名称许可协议，在皇家飞利浦不再是控股股东时启动公司更名。2016年2月，飞利浦照明正式从皇家飞利浦独立，同年5月在阿姆斯特丹上市，控股股东为皇家飞利浦。根据年报披露，截至2017年底，皇家飞利浦拥有飞利浦照明约30%的股权。更名后的Signify公司产品，将继续使用飞利浦这一照明品牌。作为公司更名的重要步骤，相关决议计划将在今年5月15日举行的飞利浦照明控股年度股东大会上提请表决，并在该决议通过后更新公司章程相关内容。飞利浦照明的股票交易代码将沿用“LIGHT”。飞利浦照明全球首席执行官洪岸礼（Eric Rondolat）表示，这是公司转型的重要一步，“新公司名称不仅清晰表达了我们的战略愿景，也是推出全新的专属企业形象标识、更好团结全球3.2万名员工的最佳时机”。飞利浦照明由弗雷德里克·飞利浦和杰拉德·飞利浦在1891年创立于荷兰埃因霍温，已拥有超过125年的历史。截至目前构建了全球的智能互联照明网络。2017年，飞利浦照明销售额为70亿欧元。Eindhoven, the Netherlands – Philips Lighting (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, today announced its intention to change its name from Philips Lighting to Signify.
