Lacavera still isn't giving up on $3.75B bid for Freedom Mobile
BNN Bloomberg
Anthony Lacavera hasn’t given up on his attempt to buy Freedom Mobile, saying mere hours after Quebecor firmed up its plan to acquire the wireless operator that he’d try to take Freedom off the Montreal-based telco’s hands
“Yes, we are prepared to buy Freedom from Quebecor if necessary,” Lacavera, the founder and chairman of Globalive Capital Inc., told BNN Bloomberg via email Friday, while questioning whether Quebecor will eventually “flip the assets.”
An independent spokesperson for Globalive earlier told BNN Bloomberg the company’s $3.75-billion offer to buy Freedom Mobile is still on the table, but declined to comment on the status of any discussions with Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne.
A spokesperson for Quebecor didn’t immediately respond to questions relating to Lacavera’s comments.
