\"\"MUMBAI: Reliance Communications is continuing exclusive talks with the promoters of Aircel<\/a> on combining their wireless businesses, extending the period by a further 30 days to June 22 following \"substantial” progress in their discussions.

\"The discussions, though at advanced stage, are non-binding in nature. Any transaction is subject to completion of due diligence, definitive documentation and regulatory, shareholders’ and other third party approvals. Hence, there is no certainty that any transaction will result,\"
RCom<\/a> said in a statement on Saturday.

\n\n\tThe Anil Ambani-run telco, India's fourth-largest carrier, had been in merger talks with Maxis Communications Berhad and Sindya Securities and Investments Pvt. Ltd., the promoters of Aircel, for a 90-day period since December 22. That deadline was initially extended to May 22, and has now been further extended by another month.\n

RCom is simultaneously merging
Sistema Shyam Teleservices<\/a>' wireless business with itself. Under the structure being discussed, RCom is likely to combine its wireless business with Aircel.

\n\n\tBoth RCom and Aircel's promoters will hold 50% each in the merged entity, which would be renamed and could emerge as India's No. 3 carrier by users, ahead of Idea Cellular and trailing market leader Bharti Airtel and Vodafone India. The two telcos had initially wanted to close the deal by September.\n

\n\n\tThe transaction is contingent on the companies paring debt and transferring Rs 14,000 crore of borrowings each to the combined entity, people familiar with the development told ET earlier. RCom had Rs 40,479 crore of debt as of December 31, while Aircel has about Rs 18,000 crore.\n

\n\n\tRCom's attempt to cut debt by selling stake in its tower business had hit a hurdle, with potential financer TPG unhappy at the Rs 21,500 crore valuation being discussed. Partner Tillman Global Holdings has to scout for a replacement to fund the buyout, but hasn’t found one as yet, which maybe a reason for the further delay in the sale.\n

\n\n\tA merger though would help both companies stay relevant in an intensely competitive market as India. Individually, the companies - both struggling with debt and falling market share - have no way of challenging their bigger rivals.\n

\n\n\tSources told ET earlier that the RCom-Aircel deal would create an entity with revenue of about Rs 25,000 crore annually, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation of about Rs 6,000 crore and an Ebitda margin of 25%. Idea Cellular posted an EBITDA of Rs 13,030 crore and an Ebitda margin of 36.2% on FY16 revenue of Rs 35,981 crore.\n

\n\n\tRCom and Aircel will also benefit from operational and capital expenditure synergies and larger revenue after a deal, RCom reiterated Saturday.\n<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":52374835,"title":"PM Modi gets an Apple update, courtesy Tim Cook","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/pm-modi-gets-an-apple-update-courtesy-tim-cook\/52374835","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"seoschemas":false,"msid":52375859,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"RCom-Aircel extend merger deal talks again, now by a month to June 22","synopsis":"Reliance Communications is continuing exclusive talks with the promoters of Aircel on combining their wireless businesses, extending the period by a further 30 days to June 22 following \"substantial\u201d progress in their discussions.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/rcom-aircel-extend-merger-deal-talks-again-now-by-a-month-to-june-22","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[{"author_name":"Deepali Gupta","author_link":"\/author\/479219003\/deepali-gupta","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/479219003.cms?width=250&height=250","author_additional":{"thumbsize":false,"msid":479219003,"author_name":"Deepali Gupta","author_seo_name":"deepali-gupta","designation":"Journalist","agency":false}}],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"ET Bureau","artdate":"2016-05-21 16:42:26","lastupd":"2016-05-21 16:45:04","breadcrumbTags":["RCom","industry","Aircel","Sistema Shyam Teleservices","Insights"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/rcom-aircel-extend-merger-deal-talks-again-now-by-a-month-to-june-22"}}" data-authors="[" deepali gupta"]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2016-05-21" data-index="article_1">
