Telefónica is set to pay 102 million euros following a legal dispute in the Czech Republic. The company lost a case against two minority shareholders of Cesky Telecom, a former public telecommunications company, over a 2005 purchase transaction. Telefónica became the majority shareholder in Cesky Telecom in 2005 after the company's privatization, acquiring the Czech state's shares at 16.73 euros per share.
The minority shareholders, Venet Management and Lexburg Enterprises, contested the price paid to them, but their claims were initially dismissed by the court, then upheld by the Supreme Court, and finally dismissed by the Constitutional Court as manifestly unfounded. As a result, Telefónica must pay Venet Management 25.96 million euros plus interest and Lexburg Enterprises 9.18 million euros plus interest, totaling 102 million euros.
