KT had earlier planned to pay 36.06 South African rand ($4.50) a share. However, with the reduced bid, the price per share has now come down to 25.60 South African rand ($3.20) a share.
The deal comprises an issue of 130 million new shares, that will reduce the South African government’s shareholding from the current 42% to 32%. GTB
