Millicom Buys Out Celtel Honduras

Luxembourg-based mobile operator Millicom (STO:MICSDB) said Thursday it had agreed to take over the entire share capital of Celtel, its subsidiary in Honduras.

Under the agreement, Millicom’s local partner gave the company an unconditional call option for his 33% Celtel stake for the next five years, while Millicom has granted its partner a five-year put option for the eventuality of change of control of Millicom.

Following the deal, Celtel will be fully integrated into Millicom’s financial reports from the third quarter of 2010.
