<\/a> Is Saudi\u2019s STC making another run at Vodafone Egypt?<\/strong> Saudi Telecom (STC) may be resurrecting its bid to acquire a majority stake in Vodafone Egypt, nine months after talks<\/a>broke down<\/a> with its parent company.

Back from the dead?<\/strong> STC was in talks with Vodafone Plc for most of last year to acquire its 55% stake in its local subsidiary. The Saudi firm initially valued the company at USD 4.4 bn after submitting a USD 2.39 bn non-binding offer<\/a> for the stake, but later tried to negotiate a lower price after the onset of covid-19. After a series of delays and expired deadlines, Vodafone announced in December that talks had collapsed, but didn\u2019t provide a reason.<\/p>\n

CNBC claims that the two companies are back in talks<\/strong>, saying unnamed sources tell it there are \u201congoing negotiations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vodafone and Telecom Egypt denied there are talks:<\/strong> A company official told Youm7<\/a> that there are no ongoing talks with STC. Telecom Egypt, which owns 45% of Vodafone Egypt, denied knowledge of the news in a statement (pdf)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

STC is coming off a successful IPO in Saudi Arabia:<\/strong> STC has just raised almost USD 1 bn after selling 20% of its solutions subsidiary in an IPO on the Tadawul, it announced<\/a> yesterday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
