Hong Kong-based Hutchison holds 27% of Israel’s Associate Communications.
Funding fund Apollo is analyzing the potential for shopping for Hong Kong-based Hutchison’s stake in Associate Communications Ltd. (Nasdaq: PTNR; TASE: PTNR). The fund has been mulling the deal for a number of months, and negotiations have apparently now made progress. Hutchison has a 27% stake in Associate. The shares are held by a trustee, due to the issue of awarding a management allow to a Chinese language firm in an Israeli telecommunications firm, owing to a US veto.

Hutchison has not been in any hurry to promote the shares to this point, because it waited for Associate’s share worth to rise.
Hutchison acquired the shares in Associate when Haim Saban, the earlier controlling shareholder within the firm, returned his holding to it, following a requirement for fee of $300 million in relation to a mortgage he took from Hutchison to finance the deal by which he bought Hutchison’s stake in Associate.
