Batelco to borrow $650m for CWC deal
- Bahrain: Thursday, December 06 - 2012 at 01:29
Batelco has said it is close to sealing a $650m loan deal that will allow it to buy Cable & Wireless Communications assets in Monaco and elsewhere, Reuters has reported. The bridge loan for up to 12 months will be replaced by a bond, said Peter Kaliaropoulos, Batelco's chief executive for strategic assignments. The loan with Citigroup and BNP Paribas will fund the first stage of the acquisition, which totals $680m and will see state-controlled Batelco buy CWC's Monaco and Islands division. The company will decide how to finance the second stage of the acquisition within the next 12 months, Kaliaropoulos said.
