(Telecompaper) Orange and Orascom Telecom Media and Technology (OTMT) have agreed that Orange will purchase all the shares and voting rights held directly or indirectly by OTMT in the Egyptian Company for Mobile Services (ECMS) for EUR 209.6 million. ECMS is the holding company of Egyptian mobile operator Mobinil. Orange said the transaction will be completed through the exercise of Orange's call option under the shareholders agreement signed by the two parties in April 2012. The transfer of OTMT's direct stake in ECMS will be completed as an 'over the counter' transaction between the two main shareholders. The parties expect that the transaction will be finalized by the end of Q1.
