Private equity groups line up Polkomtel bids - (Telecompaper) Private equity groups are lining up EUR 4 billion leveraged buy-out bids for Polish mobile operator Polkomtel, in which Vodafone owns a stake of almost 25 percent. Apax Partners, Blackstone, TPG and CVC Capital Partners are among the big private equity groups working on potential bids for Polkomtel, which is expected to start a sale process as early as next month, the Financial Times writes.

Vodafone search for next chairman begins - report - (Telecompaper) Vodafone has begun looking for a new chairman to replace John Bond, who has held the role for the past five years, the Guardian reported. The chairman has come under heavy criticism over the mobile phone group's strategy.

The company has hired Anna Mann, the City recruitment expert to search for a new chairman. One person familiar with the situation told the Financial Times that Vodafone's decision to start to look for a new chairman was made before Ontario Teachers' intervention, but added that the investor criticism had brought "a bit of urgency" to the move. Bond, a former chairman of HSBC, had told colleagues he had always intended to stay at Vodafone for s...
