Airtel将以全现金方式收购沃达丰4.7%的Indus股份
Airtel已经持有铁塔公司41.7%的股份，在新闻发布会上没有透露财务条款，但表示此次收购“将以一个有吸引力的价格，代表着对这种大型大宗交易通常可获得的大幅折扣”。乐动扑克
“只有在沃达丰确认收益被沃达丰作为股权注入VIL，包括完全获得监管机构或股东批准的情况下，才能进行任何此类收购。”附近的旅馆在新闻发布会上说。乐动扑克
沃达丰没有回应本报就Airtel的声明置评的请求。
Airtel也受到一个上限价格的保护，该价格低于街区的价格印度河这家苏尼尔•米塔尔(Sunil mittal)领导的电信公司补充称，沃达丰(Vodafone)周四出售了股份。
周四，沃达丰以每股226.84卢比的价格，向未披露的投资者出售了欧元太平洋证券(Euro Pacific Securities)持有的6360万股Indus股票，即2.4%的股份，净赚约14.43亿卢比。
银行业消息人士称，Airtel将以低于每股225卢比的价格收购该公司4.7%的股份，即1.271亿股。按照这个价格，这家英国电信公司将净赚不到286亿卢比。
Airtel未就交易价值置评。
周五，印度证交所收盘时，Airtel股价上涨2.64%，至688.45卢比。Indus和VIL股价分别上涨4.11%和6.8%，分别收于214.20卢比和10.29卢比。该交易是在市场交易结束后宣布的。
周三，ET在其在线平台上首次报道了沃达丰- airtel的股权出售谈判。
此次收购将使Airtel在Indus的持股比例提高到46.43%，而沃达丰的持股比例将降至21%。沃达丰此前曾表示，该公司正在与几家感兴趣的公司商谈出售剩余股份的事宜。
沃达丰通过出售2.4%的Indus Towers股份筹集14.43亿卢比
持有Indus 28.1%股份的英国电信公司周三表示，将在周四通过大宗交易出售2.4%的股份，同时还在与该塔公司最大的股东之一就出售另外4.7%的股份进行谈判。知情人士告诉《经济时报》，Bharti Airtel是该股东。
这家印度第二大电信公司表示:“这笔(交易)将为Airtel带来增值，并保护其在Indus Towers的现有大量股权。”
印度电信的最大股东Airtel表示，它将继续寻找机会，在适当的时候将其在Indus的股份变现。新闻稿称，这还将确保“塔公司已经稳定下来，任何新的战略或财务投资者都有能力继续满足Airtel的关键需求”。乐动扑克
分析师表示，Airtel最新收购Indus股份的举动可能会被视为负面消息，因为市场将其在Indus的大量股份视为未来变现的杠杆。
美银证券(BofA Securities)在一份报告中称:“我们认为Airtel继续增持铁塔公司的股份不会带来任何实质性好处……鉴于印度三大电信公司和三大铁塔公司的市场动态，我们认为潜在投资者寻求入股铁塔公司的需求较低。”
但Airtel表示，随着未来可能引入5G，它认为需要更多的基础设施，印度河塔将在其中发挥重要作用，从而增长其业务。
Indus拥有184748座基站和335,106个合作地点，去年12月当季净利润为15.71亿卢比，同比增长16%。在持续的大流行期间，电信公司增加了更多地点，以满足强劲的数据需求。

<\/figure>Kolkata: Bharti Airtel<\/a> said on Friday that it agreed to buy a 4.7% stake in Indus Towers<\/a> from Vodafone Group Plc<\/a> in cash. Under the deal, the UK company must invest the proceeds in Vodafone Idea (VIL), which in turn should use the money to clear its payment arrears to the telecom tower company.\u201cAny such acquisition shall only be done when such proceeds are confirmed to be utilised by Vodafone to infuse as equity into VIL, including any regulatory or shareholders\u2019 approval being fully obtained,\u201d Airtel<\/a> said in a news release.
Vodafone didn\u2019t respond to ET\u2019s request for comment on Airtel\u2019s announcement.
<\/div><\/div>Airtel, which already held a 41.7% stake in the tower company, did not share financial terms in its news release, but said the purchase \u201cwould be at an attractive price, representing a significant discount, typically, available for such large block transactions\u201d.

Airtel is also protected with a capped price which is lower than the price for the block of Indus<\/a> shares sold by Vodafone on Thursday, the Sunil Mittal-led telco added.
On Thursday, Vodafone sold a 2.4% stake, or 63.6 million Indus shares held by unit Euro Pacific Securities, to undisclosed investors at Rs 226.84 each, netting around Rs 1,443 crore.
Banking sources said Airtel would buy the 4.7% stake, or 127.1 million shares, likely at under Rs 225 apiece. At that price, the sale would net the British telco a shade under Rs 2,860 crore.
Airtel didn\u2019t comment on ET\u2019s queries on the deal value.
Airtel shares closed 2.64% higher at Rs 688.45 on the BSE Friday. Indus and VIL shares closed 4.11% and 6.8% up at Rs 214.20 and Rs 10.29, respectively. The deal was announced after market hours.
ET had first reported the Vodafone-Airtel talks for the stake sale, on its online platforms on Wednesday.
The stake purchase will boost Airtel\u2019s holding in Indus to 46.43%, while Vodafone\u2019s stake will drop to 21%. Vodafone has previously said it was talking to several interested parties to sell its remaining stake as well.
