ETB could study sale or search for strategic partner

ETB podría estudiar venta o búsqueda de socio estratégico

Intel ID : 234520
Synopsis

ETB (BVC:ETB), a Colombia-based state-owned telecommunications services provider, could be studying a potential sale of the company or the search for a strategic partner, reported Portafolio on 5 March, 2016, citing president Jorge Castellanos.

Specifically, Castellanos noted the company is analyzing becoming an independent entity, which is why it depends on the decision and deliberation regarding political and ideological control that could take place in the Council of Bogota over the potential transaction.

In a previous report, Castellanos claimed no decision had been made yet, but added ETB's negative results force it to take measures (see related intel).

ETB (BVC:ETB), prestadora estatal colombiana de servicios de telecomunicaciones, podría estar estudiando una posible venta de la compañía o la búsqueda de un socio estratégico, según ha informado Portafolio el 5 de marzo de 2016, citando al presidente de la compañía, Jorge Castellanos.

En concreto, Castellanos ha estimado que la empresa estudia cambiar como entidad independiente y es por ello que depende de la decisión y el debate de control político e ideológico que podría tomar el Concejo de Bogotá con respecto a la operación de la entidad.

Anteriormente, el presidente de la compañía señaló que aún no se había tomado una decisión, pero que los resultados negativos de ETB obligan a tomar medidas (ver Intel relacionado).
