CKH Holdings 计划推动其旗下的电信业务 Wind Tre SpA 与意大利的同行公司进行合并。

CKH HOLDINGS plans to promote the merger of its telecommunications business, Wind Tre SpA, with an Italian peer company. CKH HOLDINGS has initiated preliminary negotiations with Fastweb, a subsidiary of Swisscom, and Iliad SA, owned by local tycoon Xavier Niel. However, all parties have not yet expressed their commitment to proceed with the acquisition. It is expected that once the merger is completed, it will trigger a rigorous anti-monopoly review. Wind Tre, under CKH HOLDINGS, has a market share in the Italian mobile communications market that is only slightly higher than Telecom Italia SpA and Vodafone. In addition, in May of this year, CKH HOLDINGS announced the establishment of a new company in collaboration with private equity firm EQT, under its subsidiary CK Hutchison Group Telecom (CKHGT). The transaction is expected to be completed within 6 to 9 months.
