Vodaphone still hanging on the line to take over Polkomtel

So far the British concern owns a 19.61% stake in Polkomtel, which services over 6 million clients on the Polish market. Arun Sarin wants to take over more shares as soon as possible. Meanwhile, some of Polkomtel's domestic shareholders, among them PKN Orlen and KGHM, are planning to sell their shares. However, since the companies find it difficult to cooperate on the deal, the transaction is highly unlikely until sometime next year. (Parkiet, p. 3) A.F.
