Mobile TeleSystems, Russia’s largest mobile operator this week announced the exercise of a call option with Zelenaya Tochka Group, a provider of broadband and digital TV services, to buy out the remaining 49% of Zelenaya Tochka’s share capital in six local fixed-line network operators.
In February 2020, MTS acquired a 51% stake in Zelenaya Tochka Group — comprised of 13 local fixed-line internet providers — via an agreement that included a provision for a three-year call option on the remaining share capital.
