Vodafone Australia and TPG have announced that they have entered discussions on a possible merger of the two mobile and fixed-line telecom companies, reported Reuters.
TPG referred to it as a “merger of equals,” but added there is no certainty that a transaction will occur, or what the terms would be.
A tie-up could provide a faster and cheaper entry into the mobile network market for TPG, analysts said. The company already offers mobile services on a virtual network on Vodafone’s infrastructure.
TPG and Vodafone Australia declared in separate statements they were in “exploratory” talks, while offering no details such as whether a deal would represent a takeover by either party.
“There is no certainty that any transaction will eventuate or what the terms of a transaction would be,” TPG stated, while Vodafone called the talks “non-binding.”
