据《金融时报》援引知情人士的话称，这笔交易将使Odidо的估值达到约65亿欧元（74亿美元）。
Private equity group Apax is nearing a deal to buy Warburg Pincus out of their joint investment in Dutch telecom group Odido, the Financial Times reported on Saturday.
今年2月，由Apax和Warburg Pincus共同持有的Odidо曾推迟了在阿姆斯特丹的首次公开募股计划，原因是投资者反应冷淡以及对全球股市波动性的担忧。
同一周，这家荷兰电信公司遭遇网络攻击，导致超过600万个账户的个人信息泄露。
此后，包括沙特阿拉伯国有电信公司STC在内的多家潜在买家纷纷向Odidо表示了收购意向。
The deal would value Odido at about €6.5 billion ($7.4 billion), the FT reported, citing people familiar with the matter In February, Odido, owned by Apax and Warburg Pincus, postponed plans for an initial public offering in Amsterdam after a muted response from investors and concern over the extent of volatility in global equity markets In the same week, the Dutch telecoms group suffered a cyberattack that exposed personal information from more than 6 million accounts The owners have since received approaches for the business from suitors including Saudi Arabian state-backed telecoms group STC, the FT reported Apax, Odido and Warburg Pincus declined to comment.
Apax、Odidо和Warburg Pincus均拒绝置评。STC在正常工作时间之外未回复路透社的采访请求。
STC did not respond to Reuters’ requests for comment outside regular business hours,
