Übernahme: Fusion von Telekom mit T-Mobile US in Gefahr
Laut Medienberichten gibt es deutlichen Widerstand im Betriebsrat. Zudem erschwert ein geringerer Einfluss des Bundes die Übernahme. Dabei läuft das US-Geschäft derzeit gut.
In Irvine, Deutsche Telekom has reportedly halted the merger process with its US subsidiary, T-Mobile US. According to Bloomberg, the German firm decided not to submit a formal offer at the moment, citing resistance from the workforce council. However, it remains possible that Deutsche Telekom might resume efforts to make an offer at a later date.
Company representatives have declined to comment on the matter at this time. A merger would create the world's largest telecommunications company, as Deutsche Telekom already holds a 54% stake in T-Mobile US. Discussions have centered around forming a new joint venture with a headquarters in Ireland or Luxembourg. The merger plans have faced skepticism for some time, with activist investor Elliott joining Deutsche Telekom in September to prevent the merger and instead push for measures to boost the stock's market value, such as share buybacks. The US management has also reportedly expressed opposition to the merger internally.
