PARIS (AFX) - Alcatel SA and Draka Holding NV said they have agreed to merge
their fiber optics and communication cables activities into a separate, jointly
held business.
Alcatel will hold 49.9 pct of the new company, with Draka holding the
remaining 50.1 pct.
"In fiber and fiber cables, the combination would be the undisputed number
one player in China, through the combination of Alcatel's assets with Draka's
interest in YOFC, the leading Chinese optical fiber and fiber cable
manufacturer," Alcatel said.
Draka will issue 150 mln eur in new equity capital as part of the
transaction, which will be fully underwritten by Draka's two main shareholders,
Flint Holding NV and Parcom Ventures BV.
Alcatel had long been expected to divest or find a partner for its
loss-making fiber optics activities, and said it is playing "an active role in
fostering the necessary consolidation of the fiber and fiber cable industry."
The merger is expected to be finalised by the end of June 2004.

PARIS (AFX) - Alcatel's Private Communications division will post growth and
profits across all its operating units this year, according to the division's
head Olivier Houssin.
Speaking at the 'Alcatel Forum' late yesterday, Houssin said:"All the
divisions will be profitable and show growth in 2004."
Private Communications accounts for some 30 pct of Alcatel's operations and
combines Alcatel Space, enterprise solutions and rail activities as well as
integration and services.
In 2003, the division posted an about 10 pct dip in full year sales due to
poor results from Space operations and an absence of major networks projects.
The focus next year will be on combined communications software products
developed by the enterprise solutions unit, its president Jean-Christophe Giroux
said.
