Si dice che i cinesi non gradiscano molto che si discuta sui giornali dei loro piani di acquisizione. In passato, la scusa più credibile che ha motivato l’interruzione delle trattative, era quella riferita al prezzo. Ma non è stata l’unica.
Queste fughe in avanti della stampa, non motivate, non smentite, turbano i mercati finanziari. Intervenga la CONSOB a chiarire se dietro queste anticipazioni si nascondono reati o illeciti.
Wind, H3G resume merger talks
H3G seen interested in Wind’s mobile assets (Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) – Milan, 17 Feb – Italian telecoms firm Wind Telecomunicazioni and the HG3 unit of Hong Kong-based Hutchison Whampoa, have resumed merger talks, sources confirmed to Radiocor. The sources said that H3G is primarily interested in the mobile phone assets of Wind while a deal would not necessarily involve the fixed-line telecoms assets of Wind’s Infostrada business. Instead, that business is seen potentially attracting the interest of UK telecoms operator Vodafone. An eventual deal would need to clear Italian and European antitrust regulators. Analysts expect a transaction could help lead to other deals in the Italian telecoms sector. Wind, owned by Russian telecoms firm Vimpelcom, is expected to have posted an EBITDA margin of about 40% in 2014, in line with the 39% seen in 2013. A24-Hob (RADIOCOR)
