Amwal Al Ghad Published in Amwal Al Ghad on 17 - 11 - 2012

Amid last week trading, Orascom Telecom Media & Technology Holding (OTMT.CA) has maintained to become on the top ten active firms listed in the Egyptian Exchange (EGX).
OTMT's volume of trades hit 131.6 million securities worth EGP 78.5 million.
Orascom Telecom Media & Technology Holding:
On Monday, Karim Beshara, the CEO of OTMT said the Group is not involved in the OTMT Founder Naguib Sawiris' takeover offer to purchase a stake in Telecom Italia SpA (TIT).
Beshara further told Amwal Al Ghad that Sawiris did not offer the purchase deal to Telecom Italia in his capacity as Founder of OTMT, so OTMT has nothing to do with such a deal.
Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris offered as much as 5 billion euros ($6.4 billion) to purchase a stake in Telecom Italia SpA.
The offer is for a minority stake in Italy's former phone monopoly, said the person, who declined to be identified because the talks are private. Sawiris “declined to comment about rumors circulating in the media," Orascom Telecom Media & Technology Holding SAE spokeswoman Manal Abdel-Hamid said.
On Tuesday, OTMT has confirmed its interest in selling the Company's submarine network Med Cable Ltd (Med Cable) in Algeria. OTMT added in a filling that its Board of Directors decided to mandate the company's Founder Naguib Sawiris alongside the CEO Karim Beshara in order to spearhead the talks on selling Med Cable.
It is worth noting that Karim Beshara had made an exclusive statement to Amwal Al Ghad on November 7th stating that OTMT is planning to sell Med Cable in Algeria amid more than one year of suspension. He also said OTMT is currently seeking to market Med Cable noting that there are a number of offers to purchase and invest in the cable are under study.
Beshara further told Amwal Al Ghad that suspending operations in Med Cable was due to disputes between OTMT and Algerian government.
The Algerian government had announced immediately after suspending the operations in Med Cable that OTMT is using the cable for leaking the customers' information. The CEO of OTMT added that the company cannot reap the benefits from the cable since halting its operations in Algeria. He said the continuous replacement, renewal and maintenance of the Med Cable lower its market value.
