Telia Sonera To Sell Hello Mobile Shares

  58 sec to read

 
TeliaSonera, a parent company of Ncell, will sell Nepal Satellite Telecom’s share, operator of ‘Hello Mobile’, to an American company due to regulatory reasons.
 
In 2012, TeliaSonera had bought 57 per cent of shares from Nepal Satellite Telecom. In a press statement issued on September 11, TeliaSonera informed that they are going to sell the shares to an American company Zhodar Investment, which is based in British Virgin Islands. The selling process of the shares will be completed within a month, reads the press release.
 
“Over the past year, uncertainty regarding regulatory and legal environment for consolidation and granting of licenses in Nepal has increased. Pursuing an acquisition of Nepal Satellite is therefore not possible for regulatory reasons,” the statement read.
 
TeliaSonera, with 10 million subscriptions, has incurred a loss of nearly 400 million Swedish kronor, which is approximately Rs 6.19 billion.
 
The company has said that the agreement will enable it to concentrate on Ncell, which reduces the business risk and complexity of its total involvement in Nepal.
