    Telkom confirms it wants Cell C

    News By Duncan McLeod15 November 2019

    Telkom on Friday confirmed what everyone already knows: that it is pursuing an acquisition of the financially troubled mobile operator Cell C.

    In a statement released via the JSE’s stock exchange news service, Telkom said it is “in discussions with Cell C” regarding a potential acquisition of the company.

    “Telkom has substantially concluded its due diligence. However, discussions are at a preliminary stage,” it said.

    “The potential acquisition will be subject to Cell C completing a financial restructuring to ensure that its gearing levels are reduced to a sustainable level as specified by Telkom and commercial contractual relationships are renegotiated to terms acceptable to Telkom.”

    It said any deal will be subject to a number of regulatory approvals.

    “The potential acquisition, if concluded, may have a material effect on the price of the company’s securities. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to continue to exercise caution when dealing in the company’s securities until a further announcement is made.”  — (c) 2019 NewsCentral Media
