TDC to sell its stake in mobile operator Polkomtel

According to the paper, the assets controlled by TDC are worth some EUR 950 million. The sale of the shares is being carried out by investment bank Goldman Sachs. TDS is said to be negotiating the deal with Vodafone Group, which holds a 19.61% stake in Polkomtel, as well as the remaining shareholders. It was also revealed that several investment funds and strategic investors are interested in the deal. Meanwhile, Polkomtel shareholders are declining from commenting on the news. "It is too early to speak about concrete information," said Andrzej Kowalczyk, of KGHM. The sale of the assets is dictated by ownership changes within TDC which will probably be sold to Nordic Telephone Company, a consortium of investment funds. The date when final decisions will be revealed is January 12. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 8) A.K.
