Singapore's STT to buy Eircom
ST Telemedia, the Singapore state-owned telecoms group, is poised to make its first acquisition outside Asia after agreeing a deal to buy Eircom, the debt-laden Irish telecoms group.
Eircom Holdings, the Irish company's Australia-based parent, recommended STT's offer to shareholders in June , which gives the Irish group an equity valuation of about A$67m (US$57m). With Eircom's debts, the deal puts a total enterprise value of €4.4bn ($6.4bn) on the Irish group.
The deal has been complicated by a return of capital to shareholders from Eircom Holdings, which used to be known as Babcock & Brown Capital and owns 57 per cent of the Irish group. Eircom Holdings is in the process of returning A$0.80 per share and STT is proposing to make a further payment to shareholders of A$0.135 per share. That means STT is making a cash offer of A$0.40 per share.
Singapore's government has invested over the past decade in telecoms groups in Asian markets through Temasek, its investment arm. UBS advised Eircom Holdings. Macquarie Capital Advisers advised STT.
