Without identifying the potential partner, Vimpelcom confirmed in a statement that it had "held discussions to explore the potential value which would accrue to shareholders through a 50-50 joint venture in Italy," going on to add that "no conclusion to these discussions was reached." The companies have been holding on-off talks since December, with Wind's debt of around EUR 9.5 billion representing the main a hurdle to a deal, but the debt refinancing plan implemented by Vimpelcom in April gave fresh impetus to a possible merger, with Italian press reports stating that Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank had been working on behalf of 3 Italia and Wind respectively to iron out any remaining problems. In its statement Vimpelcom added that it will continue to "explore value-adding transactions."
