Telefónica Deutschland and Drillisch sign Letter of Intent for the sale of
yourfone
Munich - Telefónica Deutschland and Drillisch AG have signed a non-binding
Letter of Intent (LOI) which enables Drillisch to acquire the E-Plus
holding yourfone GmbH by January 2015. During the next weeks both parties
will discuss details of a potential transaction which is subject to
approval by the competent bodies. Drillisch considers acquiring yourfone
GmbH together with all brand rights, customers and employees thereby
ensuring continuity for all stakeholders involved.
The potential sale of Hamburg based yourfone GmbH and its approximately
235.000 active subscribers clearly demonstrates Telefónica Deutschland's
determination to push ahead with the integration process under way and
underlines the company's ambition to become the leading digital telco in
Germany. yourfone customers will benefit from the strong customer
experience of Telefónica Deutschland's network in the course of the
integration of the E-Plus network and further performance improvements
arising from this.
While the transaction under discussion represents a unique opportunity,
Telefónica Deutschland does currently not intend to sell further customers
of its combined portfolio after the merger with E-Plus. As already
announced the multi-brand strategy, Telefónica Deutschland and E-Plus were
very successful in addressing different customer segments in the past, will
remain in effect in the combined company. Further details with regard to
the future brand architecture will be defined during the ongoing
transformation and integration process.
Telefónica Deutschland has a strong heritage in cooperations in and outside
the telco industry and in this context has a longstanding relationship with
Drillisch. Both companies had agreed on a comprehensive network deal this
summer and Drillisch also has announced plans to acquire a significant
number of O2/E-Plus shops for its way forward in the German market.
In the case of a final agreement Telefónica Deutschland expects a purchase
price in the medium to high double-digit million euro range. There is no
impact on the company's profit and loss statement to be expected.
