Virgin interested in acquiring Spain's Yoigo - report

2015-06-12 10:01:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) The Virgin Group has expressed an interest in acquiring TeliaSonera's Spanish subsidiary Yoigo, according to unnamed sources cited in business daily El Economista. The negotiations are being led by Juan Villalonga, former chairman and CEO of Telefonica, who now acts as business advisor to Virgin Mobile Latin America (VMLA) and is co-founder of the investment fund Emergent Telecom Ventures. Yoigo declined to comment on Virgin's potential interest in the company, which is currently Spain's fourth mobile network operator with a share of just over 6 percent of total service revenues. When TeliaSonera sought to dispose of its Yoigo stake in 2012, it failed to attract bids matching its EUR 1 billion valuation from interested companies such as Vodafone and Orange.

Jazztel confirms negotiations to buy TeliaSonera's Yoigo

2014-09-11 10:56:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Spanish operator Jazztel has confirmed recent press reports that it has begun discussions over the possible acquisition of a stake in TeliaSonera's Spanish mobile unit Yoigo. In a statement to Spain's market regulator CNMV, Jazztel said the talks were still "in an initial phase" and would not necessarily be followed by an offer. The statement adds that Jazztel would also seek to acquire the remaining shareholders' stake if required. The confirmation follows a report in Bloomberg that Jazztel was talking with advisers about a potential transaction to be financed with its own shares. However, the report added that the operator hadn't yet decided whether to proceed with an offer and wanted to avoid a bidding war with other interested parties, such as Orange Spain. Two months ago sources told El Economista that TeliaSonera would be satisfied with around EUR 700 million for Yoigo, some nine times the operator's EBITDA for 2013, but Bloomberg's sources say offers may value Yoigo at less than EUR 500 million.
