Kazakhstani
mobile operator Kcell announced its intention to conduct an initial public
offering of its shares in the form of global depository receipts (GDRs) and a
concurrent offering in Kazakhstan in the form of common shares.
The offering will comprise the sale of existing shares held by Sonera Holding, a wholly owned subsidiary of TeliaSonera, of up to 25 per cent of the shares in Kcell. TeliaSonera is required to sell the stake under the terms of its original acquisition of a stake in Kcell from Kazakhtelecom.
Kcell chief executive Veysel Aral told the reporters that the group would aim to list the majority of the shares in London in order to develop an international investor base, with a smaller portion of shares listed in Kazakhstan.
TeliaSonera -- that operates Ncell in Nepal -- will remain the majority owner of the group with a 62 per cent stake. Kcell is the largest operator in Kazakhstan with almost half of subscribers and a 57 per cent share of revenues.
