Polish Polkomtel shareholders aim for March share sale

PSE is the owner of over 17.5% shares of the Plus GSM mobile phone network operator. Polkomtel's Polish shareholders, PKN Orlen and KGHM, signed an agreement concerning the firm's debut on the bourse in mid December. Now, the decision has to be accepted by Polkomtel's foreign shareholders, British Vodafone and Danish TeleDanmark, each of which controls 19.6% of the company's capital. So far, both firms have not issued any official statements concerning the debut, but the Polish shareholders said that their stand "gives much hope for floating the operator on the bourse."
