  • Share Swap Between Telefónica and China Unicom
    La Dirección Estratégica de la Empresa. Teoría y Aplicaciones L.A. Guerras y J.E. Navas Thomson-Civitas, 2007, 4th edition www.guerrasynavas.com SHARE SWAP BETWEEN TELEFÓNICA AND CHINA UNICOM Miriam Delgado Verde Universidad Complutense de Madrid In 2005, Telefónica and China Unicom entered into a strategic alliance with the aim to operate jointly in the telecommunications industry. Initially, it took the form of a minority holding by the Spanish company in its Far Eastern counterpart when Telefónica purchased 5.38% of the Chinese operator’s capital. This initial operation was reinforced in September 2009 with a share swap between both companies, whereby Telefónica’s investment rose to 8.06% of China Unicom’s capital, whereas the latter acquired 0.9% of the Spanish telephone company. Through this new operation, Telefónica acquired a further 694 million shares, up to the aforementioned percentage, whilst China Unicom undertook to acquire 40.7 million shares in the Spanish company, which meant an investment by each party of one billion dollars (around 700 million euros at the prevailing rate of exchange). The partners agreed to keep possession of the shares for at least a year, although the agreement included joint operations over the following three years, unless either one of the parties should discharge the contract with six months’ prior notice. These joint operations included shared procurement, the development of common platforms for mobile phone services and the provision of services to multinational customers. One of the agreement’s clauses laid down a restriction on any investment in the share capital of each other’s rival companies.
