MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

摘要

TeliaSonera acquires Tele2's operations in Norway at an enterprise value of SEK 5.1 billion on a cash and debt free basis. The company has also committed itself to a 98 percent population coverage for 4G by 2016, two years ahead of its obligations. The transaction will increase TeliaSonera's mobile market share in Norway to approximately 40 percent from 23 percent while the mobile subscription base will increase to 2.7 million from 1.6 million. In order to show the benefit of consolidation for the customer, TeliaSonera is accelerating the 4G roll-out to reach 98 percent population coverage already by 2016 instead of 2018.
