RTRS-'Verzetsgroep' ziet brood in claimemmissie Versatel
AMSTERDAM (ANP) - De groep minderheidsaandeelhouders die
zich hevig heeft verzet tegen de overname van Versatel heeft
meegedaan aan de claimemissie van het telecom- en kabelbedrijf.
De aandeelhouders houden zo hun belang van meer dan 13 procent
op peil. Grootaandeelhouder blijft de Zweedse
telecomprijsvechter Tele2 met een belang van ruim 80 procent.

Versatel liet donderdag weten dat op 96,9 procent is
ingeschreven van de onlangs aangekondigde claimemissie van bijna
419 miljoen aandelen. De emissie levert in totaal ongeveer 255
miljoen euro op. Beleggingsfondsen als Centaurus, dat de
'verzetsgroep' aanvoerde, behoren ook tot de kopers, zei een
woordvoerster van het telecombedrijf.

De verwachting was juist dat de minderheidsaandeelhouders
zouden afzien van het recht om aandelen te kopen. Onlangs leden
zij bij de Ondernemingskamer van het gerechtshof in Amsterdam
een gevoelige nederlaag.

De Ondernemingskamer wilde geen stokje steken voor de
aandeelhoudersvergadering die Versatel had gepland over de fusie
met de Nederlandse en Belgische tak van Tele2. In die
vergadering werd gestemd over de claimemissie. Met de opbrengst
van de emissie financiert Versatel een omgekeerde overname van
de activiteiten van Tele2. Het was Tele2 eerder niet gelukt om
Versatel van de beurs te halen, door het verzet van de
minderheidsaandeelhouders.

Versatel probeert de resterende 3,1 procent van de
claimemissie te plaatsen bij institutionele en professionele
investeerders. Anders koopt Tele2 de aandelen. Het Zweedse
telecombedrijf had zich garant gesteld voor de opbrengst.

De aandelen worden uitgegeven tegen een prijs van 61
eurocent, een fikse korting ten opzichte van de huidige
beurskoers van 71 eurocent. Probleem is dat de aandelen
nauwelijks verhandelbaar zijn.
