bombardier double deck coaches that have been operated by dsb since delivery from the manufacturer in 2001 2002 . the coaches were originally intended to provide interim capacity until delivery of new ic4 trainsets ordered from italian manufacturer ansaldo breda ascendos had extended the lease of the coaches on a number of occasions most recently for a period of 5 years from 2011 with the coaches scheduled to be redelivered over a seventeen month period ending in october 2017 . it was anticipated that the coaches would be redeployed outside denmark at the end of the lease term . the danish railway network is undergoing major changes in the next decade and a major rolling stock tender is planned . however a more immediate need was identified and the danish ministry of transport determined that dsb s capacity requirements could be met with the ascendos coaches . dsb s objective was to acquire ownership and a sale of the coaches at the end of the current lease term in october 2017 has been agreed at a price that met ascendos objectives . the coaches are therefore no longer available to lease to other parties . the sale will have no impact on the day to day activities of the company and the management team are committed to the long term development of the company continuing to support its customers and to deliver value to its shareholders and financiers . 2013
