In Brief: Polkomtel; Telemaks and Spin; Orbis; Lek plant running by year end

The six firms invited to take part have until June 4 to place their bids. (Parkiet, p. 1) ... Telemaks' new share issue aimed at Spin shareholders is not likely to happen earlier than September. Prokom-dependent Spin should then control 80% of Telemaks, which will pave the way for Spin to enter onto the bourse. At present, the two domestic IT companies are conducting due diligence. (Parkiet, p. 6) ... Maciej Grelowski, the president of Orbis, has handed in his notice to the firm's supervisory board but will continue to hold the post until the next general shareholders meeting (Parkiet, p. 1) ...
