Vodafone hires bank ahead of possible German telecom bidReuters FRANKFURT--Vodafone moved closer to a possible 10-billion-euro bid for German cable operator Kabel Deutschland by hiring longtime banker Goldman Sachs to advise on options, a person with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Tuesday.
February 21, 2013, 12:04 am TWN Kabel Deutschland, Germany's biggest cable company, has retained Morgan Stanley and advisory firm Perella Weinberg to defend its interests in the event of a Vodafone approach, a second person with direct knowledge said. An acquisition would transform the German telecoms market, which has been one of the more resilient in a European sector plagued by deflation in prices and tough competition. |
