www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Remaining 15 percent of Brazilian broadband operator GVT will be acquired by French telecommunications and entertainment group Vivendi for BRL 56 per share. Securities commission CVM has given authorization to GVT to tender 17.79 million shares.
This will result from the transfer of control of the company to French telecommunications and entertainment group Vivendi, announced last November, and the increase in Vivendi’s voting stake in the company.
Delisting of GVT at a price of BRL 56 per share has also been approved by the CVM and the amount has to be paid in cash before the settlement of the tender offer on April 30. An auction will be carried out for the tender in the electronic trading system of BM&Fblovespa to be held on April 27.
Until January, Vivendi held 85.7 percent of GVT.
