France Telecom, Equant Talk Acquisition .

2005-01-28, HostMan.biz

France Telecom, Equant's (equant.com) controlling shareholder, proposed last week to acquire the full ownership of Equant's business, including all assets and liabilities of Equant N.V., followed by a distribution of the purchase price to Equant's shareholders and the liquidation of those shareholders.

The proposal was announced in a special meeting of Equant's supervisory board held on January 22, 2005. The intended acquisition would offer Equant shareholders a distribution of 4.20 Euro per ordinary or preferred share, subject to applicable withholding and similar taxes.

The supervisory board appointed a special committee made up of the three independent directors to evaluate the offer. Meanwhile, the special committee has retained Rothschild North America as its financial adviser and Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP as its counsel.

Equant also said its preliminary 2004 results are in line with financial market expectations. The company anticipates an extremely difficult year in 2005 that, together with the five year plan expectations aiming to restore its midterm profitability, will lead to a very substantial write off of assets. The difficult financial shape of the company has lead it to ask France Telecom for a $250 million credit facility so it can meet its financing requirements.
