This comes as the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) confirmed that STC is required under the Capital Market Act to submit an MTO for the 44.8% stake in Vodafone Egypt owned by TE and the 0.2% held by minority shareholders if it closes its bid to acquire Vodafone Group\u2019s 55% stake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who\u2019s in the running for the job?<\/strong> TE is reportedly fielding offers from four potential advisors, the local press says, <a href=\"https:\/\/alborsaanews.com\/2020\/02\/05\/1293283\">citing a government official<\/a>. According to the official, a choice will be made within only \u201ca few days.\u201d Vodafone Group has yet to announce who it has hired as its investment bankers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where STC\u2019s acquisition offer currently stands:<\/strong> STC had signed a non-binding MoU to purchase Vodafone Group\u2019s 55% stake in Vodafone Egypt in a USD 2.39 bn cash agreement <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2020\/01\/30\/vodafone-egypt-ceo-stc-acquisition-good-vote-confidence-egypt\/\">last week<\/a>. The sale values 100% of Vodafone Egypt at USD 4.4 bn and would give STC a 42% share of Egypt\u2019s telecommunications market.The agreement is valid for another 75 days and subject to renewal, but all signs suggest so far that <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/87288608-63d5-47b1-90a8-8c3abc4ad2e5\">the transaction is moving forward<\/a>. Telecom Egypt (TE) has raised no objections to the sale and has telegraphed that it will not exercise its <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2020\/01\/30\/vodafone-egypt-ceo-stc-acquisition-good-vote-confidence-egypt\/\">right of first refusal<\/a> under its shareholder agreement with Vodafone Group.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moody\u2019s says the agreement could squeeze STC\u2019s margins and push the company into negative credit rating territory<\/strong> if the MTO is entirely debt-funded, especially in light of the telecom operator\u2019s recently inaugurated 5G network.
