Iliad founder Niel buys 11% stake in Telecom Italia

2015-10-29 15:29:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) French billionaire Xavier Niel, founder of internet provider Iliad, has acquired the equivalent of an 11.2 percent voting stake in Telecom Italia, according to a filing with Italian markets regulator Consob. The development comes just a few days after French media conglomerate Vivendi, led by fellow billionaire Vincent Bollore, boosted its stake in Telecom Italia to just over 20 percent of the company's ordinary shares. Niel acquired a stake of around 6 percent via a personal investment company and an additional 5 percent through derivatives, according to unnamed sources cited by Bloomberg. Iliad is the parent company of French mobile operator Free, which has transformed the local telecoms sector since launching in 2012 with a low-tariff policy that has led to a 40 percent fall in prices. Niel has also invested in mobile operations in Switzerland (Orange) and Monaco (Monaco Telecom) in recent years.

Altice, Bouygues confirm offer, Iliad in talks to buy assets

2015-06-22 09:01:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Altice and Bouygues have confirmed reports that Numericable-SFR parent company Altice has made an offer to acquire Bouygues Telecom. Altice's statement did not provide further details, while earlier reports said the bid is worth just over EUR 10 billion. Bouygues confirmed that it received an unsolicited offer from Altice to start negotiations with a view to buying Bouygues Telecom. Bouygues' board of directors will meet 23 June to review Altice's letter. While press reports said that Altice's head, Patrick Drahi, started talking to Bouygues around three weeks ago, Bouygues' statement said that no negotiations are in progress. Separately, broadband and mobile operator Free's parent company Iliad announced that it has entered into exclusive talks with Numericable-SFR to buy assets related to the takeover offer for Bouygues Telecom. The sale of part of Bouygues and SFR's spectrum and network assets to Free may secure the companies regulatory approval for the takeover, which would reduce the French mobile market to three network operators from four.
