Iliad said in a statement it would launch a public offer at 39 zlotys per share, a 38.8% premium to Play stock’s closing price, valuing the Polish company at 2.2 billion euros . Adding Play’s 15 million subscribers, the combined group would enjoy a strong base of 41 million subscribers in France, Poland and Italy.
Iliad said the deal was in the interest of its shareholders as it represents a unique opportunity to enter a major market that is still growing. It said the deal will be earnings-accretive from the first year itself and said the acquisition will be financed by debt and cash.
