Se non erro qualcuno era interessato a bond di Polkomtel. 
Occhio perché pare vada soggetta ad un LBO da parte di equity firms, anche se è un LBO interessante perché il leverage espresso dal prezzo di acquisto (che sarà ricaricato come debito sulle spalle della società preda) decisamente basso, e ancor più per il segmento telecom, pari a 6x EBITDA.
I venditori sono società statali e la politica ha giocato un ruolo già altre volte nelle vicende di Polkomtel.
Peraltro alcune delle equity firms in questione sono fra quelle azionisti uscenti di TDC, che a propria volta, nell'ambio del deleverage che fece seguito al LBO del 2005, alienò appunto una quota di Polkomtel.

Private equity groups line up bids for Polkomtel

Some  of the world’s biggest private equity groups are lining up €4bn  ($5.2bn) leveraged buy-out bids for Polkomtel, one of Poland’s biggest  mobile phone operators, in which Vodafone owns a stake of almost 25 per  cent.
Apax Partners, 
Blackstone,  TPG and CVC Capital Partners are among the big private equity groups  working on potential bids for Polkomtel, which is expected to start a  sale process as early as next month.
The buy-out groups could get a clear run at Polkomtel because the  mobile phone operator is unlikely to attract interest from large  European telecommunications groups. A buy-out of the group would be one  of Europe’s biggest private equity deals since 2007.
France Telecom and 
Deutsche Telekom already  have Polish mobile businesses and would almost certainly run into  objections by regulators if they tried to buy Polkomtel.
Blackstone  and TPG are working on a joint bid for Polkomtel. The company is likely  to be valued at about six times earnings before interest, tax,  depreciation and amortisation, which fell 14 per cent to 2.7bn zlotys  ($883m) last year.
The Polish mobile market is dominated by three  large operators of about equal size. Polkomtel and France Telecom’s  Orange both have about 14m mobile customers, while Deutsche Telekom’s  T-Mobile has 13m.
Vodafone, which once wanted control of  Polkomtel, is now willing to sell its 24.4 per cent stake as the UK  mobile group looks at maximising returns to its shareholders in part by  selling minority stakes.
Vodafone has made no decisions on whether  to sell but people familiar with the UK group said it was willing to  exit if an appropriate offer was made. While Vodafone could retain its  stake, it is unlikely to exercise a right of first refusal that would  enable it to buy out Polkomtel’s other shareholders.
Polkomtel,  founded in 1996, reported 8bn zlotys of revenue in 2009, down 6 per  cent compared with 2008 because of the economic downturn and intense  competition in an increasingly saturated market.
In 2008, when 
TDC, a Danish company, 
sold its 25 per cent stake  in Polkomtel, the company was valued at €3.7bn. Blackstone and Apax are  both investors in TDC, so they have more detailed knowledge of the  Polish group. 
Any sale is unlikely to be completed before next year.
Four state-controlled Polish companies – energy group PGE, copper miner 
KGHM, oil company 
PKN Orlen,  and coal trader Weglokoks – own slightly more than 75 per cent of  Polkomtel. They have been talking for years about selling their  Polkomtel stakes and recently appointed advisers as some need to fund  investment plans.
