U.S. private equity giant KKR & Co. Inc. has made a 10.8 billion euro (US$12 billion) offer to purchase Telecom Italia SpA -- Italy's largest phone company -- and take it private.
美國私募股權巨頭KKR&Co.提出以108億歐元(120億美元)收購意大利最大的電話公司意大利電信(Telecom Italia Spa)，並將其私有化。
In a statement Sunday, Telecom Italia's board of directors said KKR (KKR) made a preliminary, nonbinding offer of 50.5 euro cents per share, about a 46% premium to Friday's closing price.
意大利電信董事會週日在一份聲明中説，KKR提出了每股50.5歐分的不具約束力的初步報價，較上週五收盤價溢價約46%。
The board called KKR's bid "friendly," and said it met Sunday to discuss the proposal, which would require approval by Telecom Italia's directors, as well as the Italian government.
董事會稱KKR的出價是“友好的”，並表示週日開會討論了這一提議，該提議需要得到意大利電信董事以及意大利政府的批准。
The takeover plan could face opposition from Vivendi SE , the telecom's largest shareholder.
該收購計劃可能面臨該電信最大股東威望迪SE的反對。
Telecom Italia shares have sunk 22% over the past six months, and have lost about half their value over the past five years.
意大利電信的股價在過去六個月裏下跌了22%，在過去五年裏損失了大約一半的價值。
