The closing of the transaction is expected to take place in early April
2005 and the purchase price will mainly be financed from debt. Matáv
will fully consolidate Telekom Montenegro in its accounts from the time
of the closing of the transaction.
In addition to the 67.09% stake in the currently signed agreements,
Matáv intends to acquire further minority stakes and submits an offer
for the remaining shares for a price of EUR 2.2 per share. The offer is
in line with Matáv’s original bid, in which the company offered a
maximum price of 165 million euros for the 100% of Telekom Montenegro.
