Bharti ties up with Kuwait's Zain Telecom
Sunday, 21 March 2010, 20:01 Hrs
New Delhi: India's leading telecom operator Bharti Airtel announced that it has tied up the whole financing requirement of $8.3 billion (
37,350 crore) debt for its planned acquisition of Kuwait-based Zain Telecom's African unit.
"The financing was over-subscribed with major international banks committing to underwrite the total amount," the company said in a statement.
Bharti would pay $9 billion (40,500 crore) to acquire Zain's assets spread across 15 African countries. It will adopt $1.7 billion (7,650 crore) of Zain's debt.
Bharti Airtel and Zain were in exclusive talks for quite a long time, in Bharti's third venture attempt to acquire an African business after having failed in its bid twice for South Africa's telecom giant, MTN.
Last year, Bharti failed to strike a merger with MTN. The deal was later called off due to regulatory issues in both countries.
