Xavier Niel's Vega to acquire 16% of Vodafone for $5.91B

Vega, an investment firm controlled by French telecom magnate Xavier Niel, is set to acquire approximately 16% of Vodafone from Emirates Telecommunications for about £4.4 billion (approximately $5.91 billion). This acquisition, once finalized, would make Vega the largest shareholder in the British mobile operator. Niel, the founder of Iliad Group, reportedly initiated contact with Emirates Telecommunications after observing a downward trend in Vodafone's stock price, leading to a swift agreement for the share transfer.
