Telstra circles Leighton's assets
Nov 08, 2012 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) --
Conglomerate Leighton Holdings is divesting its non-core telco infrastructure assets worth $A1bn, including the NextGen fibre optic cabling network business. Macquarie Capital has been retained to manage the sale. Although objections are likely by the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission, major telco Telstra has voiced an interest in acquiring some of the operations. Its most obvious targets are the Infoplex and Metronode divisions that could fetch as much as $A120m. The frontrunner to buy NextGen is TPG Telecom, while Vodafone Hutchison Australia has ruled itself out as a bidder.
