Canadian govt rejects Accelero acquisition of Allstream
2013-10-08 07:59:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The Canadian federal government has rejected the proposed acquisition by Accelero Capital of the Allstream division of Manitoba Telecom Services (MTS Allstream). The Canadian operator said it was "extremely surprised and disappointed" by the decision, adding that both companies responded "openly and constructively" to Industry Canada's requests for information in the 136 days since the transaction was announced. Accelero proposed far-reaching, comprehensive and binding undertakings to the Canadian government, including a commitment to invest USD 300 million over three years to pursue Allstream's capital plans. The government rejected the deal on national security concerns, and also rejected an offer from MTS and Accelero to take whatever actions were necessary to address government concerns. As a result of the fall-out, the Allstream division will once again be reported as part of MTS Allstream consolidated results. Results will be impacted by a one-off cost of CAD 35 million connected to the lost transaction. Excluding the impact of the additional transaction and restructuring costs, results were otherwise expected to be near the lower end of the original guidance ranges. The MTS subsidiary, which has not been impacted, continues to generate increased cash flow and is performing in line with expectations.
