In brief: Interia.pl IPO; Arena.pl seeks investor; Jelfa sells Cefarm stakes

Krakow-based Internet portal Interia.pl will probably become the first portal listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW). Its initial public offering, slated for January 2001, is likely to be followed by a deluge of IT companies onto the Warsaw bourse. (Puls Biznesu, p.6)...Internet portal Arena.pl is seeking an investor, to whom it is willing to sell a majority stake. The company also announced that it would postpone the launch of its portals on Czech and Hungarian markets. (Puls Biznesu, page 6)...Pharmaceuticals producer Jelfa has agreed to sell its 33% stake in Cefarm Wroclaw and 37% stake in Cefarm Kielce to another drug maker Farmacol for at least zl. 32 million.
