PARIS (Thomson Financial) - French stock market regulator AMF Thursday
approved mobile telecom operator SFR's plan to buy out minority investors in
alternative telecom services company Neuf Cegetel.
SFR, a unit of Vivendi SA and Vodafone Group, is offering 35.90 euros per
share for the 20.13 percent of Neuf Cegetel that it doesn't already own.
Earlier this week, SFR chief executive Frank Esser said that it could launch
the buyout as early as mid-May, following approval by the regulator.
