OAO VimpelCom’s main shareholders, Alfa Group’s Altimo unit and Norway’s Telenor ASA, support “in principle” the Russian cellular company’s plan to acquire assets from Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris, Vedomosti said.
Board members representing Altimo and Telenor gave their tentative approval for the plan at a meeting in Amsterdam last week, the Moscow-based newspaper said today, citing two unidentified people familiar with the results of that meeting.
VimpelCom, Russia’s second-largest mobile-phone operator, is seeking to acquire all of Italy’s Wind and Egypt’s Telecomunicazioni SpA and 51 percent of Orascom Telecom Holding AE, according to Vedomosti.
