E plus & O2 - possible coalescence?
E plus is thanks to Prepaid-Discountern and more and more favorable prices, grow furthermore in. O2 does not achieve so much success in the German market and harvests at the moment the call, the smallest mobile radio operator. This could soon change, because E plus has intereats in O2 shown. E plus boss "Thorsten Dirks" meant because on the Monday evening, this week:
“Would stand o2 in Germany for the sales, then the E plus-mother's group KPN would check such a call option” (citation “Financial Times of Germany”)
However, the price would have to be right and also O2 or the parent company of Telefonica Spain - has announced mutual interest in E plus. However, would become such a takeover, do not become cheap. E plus has also grown in the last quarters immensely and the purchase price.
Indeed, nothing is still under roof and field. As said, it is only speculated at the moment, because O2 Germany boss expressed itself against sales:
“We invest in Germany and want to grow there further from own strength.”
Whether, however, is sold or is bought, at last this decides only Telefonica Spain. We remain in the ball and will report about this development furthermore.
