KPN will probably hang on to the 20.5 percent of Telefonica Deutschland that it will get as part of the E-Plus sale, though no final decision has been made, Blok said.
“It could be very attractive for KPN shareholders given the synergy potential and dividend potential to keep the stake,” he said. “My current view given my current understanding of the German market is it is a valuable part of the portfolio of KPN.”
After the German transaction, KPN is considering options for the 5 billion euros it will receive in cash, such as share buybacks, ways to compensate the reduction in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, improve the business profile, or acquisitions.
“Of course share buybacks are on the list, but I can assure you it’s on the back half of my list,” Blok said. “We want to have financial flexibility in the balance sheet because we believe there are still small opportunities for in-market consolidation in the Netherlands.”
Doelt Blok er nu op dat hij interesse heeft in TELE2?
