- Friday, April 19, 1:55 PM VimpelCom (VIP +1.1%) has sold its indirect stake in Cambodian mobile carrier Sotelco to its local partner. The sale comes as VimpelCom and rival MTS continue to bid for Tele2's Russian unit, which for now is still set to be sold to state bank VTB (PR) Comment! [Tech, M&A]
- Tuesday, April 2, 2:19 PM Russian carriers Vimpelcom (VIP +3.3%) and MTS (MBT +0.6%) remain committed to bidding for buying rival Tele2 Russia, even though Tele2 Russia's parent company has effectively dismissed their $4B-$4.25B offer. Sweden-based Tele2 says it was aware of all options before agreeing to sell ts Russian ops to state bank VTB for $3.5B in a deal that gives it rights (for 12 months) to half of any profits VTB gets from a resale. Comment! [Tech, M&A]
- Thursday, March 28, 1:56 PM Russian mobile carriers VimpelCom (VIP +0.2%) and Mobile TeleSystems (MBT +0.3%) are prepared to offer $4B-$4.25B for rival Tele2 Russia, Bloomberg reports. Though Sweden-based Tele2 has already agreed to sell its Russian ops to local bank VTB for $2.4B + assumed debt, there have been reports of third-party interest. Billionaire Mikhail Fridman's Alfa Group might also join the fray. Comment! [Tech, M&A, Breaking News]
- Monday, November 26, 2012, 7:41 AM Russian antitrust regulators have ended their efforts to stop Norwegian carrier Telenor from raising its stake in VimpelCom (VIP) above a current 43%. The fact Russian billionaire Mikhail Fridman's Altimo (Alfa Telecom) now has 47.85% a voting stake in VimpelCom is undoubtedly a big reason why. The decision paves the way for VimpelCom to hold its annual shareholder meeting on Dec. 21. (previous) Comment! [Tech, M&A]
- Monday, October 29, 2012, 11:28 AM Russia's VimpelCom (VIP) is planning to sell several of its emerging markets units as part of an effort to focus on more developed markets, the FT reports. One source claims the planned sale of VimpelCom's holdings in Burundi, Zimbabwe, and the Central African Republic could yield over $60M. Also on the block are carriers in Cambodia and Laos. 1 Comment [Tech, M&A]
- Wednesday, August 15, 2012, 3:55 PM VimpelCom (VIP +9.6%) soars in afternoon trading on news that Russia's Alfa Group has increased its voting stake in the carrier to 40.5% from a prior 25%, courtesy of a $3.6B purchase from Egyptian tycoon Naguib Sawiris. Alfa's stake now surpasses the 39.5% stake held by Norwegian carrier Telenor, whose efforts to increase its position have produced a hostile regulatory response. Alfa, which wants to buy more shares, expects Telenor to raise its stake to 43%. (VIP Q2 results) Comment! [Tech, On the Move, M&A]
- Wednesday, March 28, 2012, 10:02 AM Vimpelcom's (VIP) $6.5B sale of a majority stake in Algerian unit Djezzy 93 to the government takes a twist as a court fines the CEO of the company 93B dinars ($1.3B) in a fraud case that could also lead to a prison sentence, Reuters reports. Djezzy was convicted of "making false statements regarding the import of services." Comment! [Tech, M&A]
- Wednesday, March 28, 2012, 8:43 AM Algeria ponies up a cool $6.5B to acquire a majority stake in VimpelCom's (VIP) mobile phone unit in the nation. The acquisition ends a year-long dispute between the Algerian government and the Russian firm. Shares of VIP +3.1% premarket. Comment! [Global & FX, M&A]
- Monday, January 9, 2012, 11:26 AM Russian carrier VimpelCom (VIP +2.6%) trades higher after announcing a memorandum of understanding with the Algerian government regarding the sale by its Orascom subsidiary of a majority stake in local carrier Djezzy. Orascom, which is 51.7%-owned by VimpelCom of, has been under pressure to sell Djezzy after the Algerian government said it wants the carrier nationalized. A price still has to be determined.
