Orange denies reported deal for Telecom Italia stake
2016-08-25 10:03:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) An Orange spokesperson denied that the company had reached a deal with Vivendi on the acquisition of a stake in Telecom Italia and Canal Plus, reports Les Echos. The statement came following press reports that the two groups could be close to an agreement. Orange representatives have admitted the possibility of talks with Vivendi, as rumours of discussions last emerged in early July. News site Challenges published an article on 24 August claiming that Orange was considering taking a stake in Telecom Italia and Canal Plus in a deal brokered by investment banker Jean-Marie Messier. According to Challenges, the stake in Canal Plus (in the region of 20 percent) was not necessarily dependent on the acquisition of a stake in Telecom Italia, in which Vivendi holds 24.9 percent of the share capital. Vivendi has not commented on the reports.

Orange denies Telecom Italia talks, assesses expansion
2015-12-01 08:47:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Orange has denied reports that it has been discussing a possible tie-up with Telecom Italia, but it has admitted hiring banks to carry out an assessment of the European telecoms sector. "Orange's financial and strategic management team is working with banks to finetune its view of the evolution of the telecoms sector in the context of a single market on a 5- to 10-year horizon," a spokesman told Reuters, adding that "as far as Orange is concerned, no target has been identified today and no discussion has been opened with Telecom Italia." The company was responding to a Bloomberg report in which unnamed sources indicated that the French operator was exploring a potential combination with Telecom Italia and had opted to focus on expansion rather than an internal restructure.
