CK Hutchison in deal talks with Telenor in Denmark and Sweden
CK Hutchison is in talks with Scandinavian telecoms group Telenor about merging their businesses in Denmark and Sweden, as the Hong Kong-listed group seeks to drive a wave of consolidation across European telecoms. The conglomerate, which owns Three’s operations in the UK, Ireland and other European countries, said on Thursday it had been in active discussions about potential mergers for its businesses in Denmark and Sweden, as it pursued an “asset-light” strategy. Two people familiar with the matter told the Financial Times that CK Hutchison has been in talks with Telenor, a Norway-based telecoms company, about a potential deal to combine their Danish and Swedish telecoms operations.
