Sunrise buys Liberty Global's Swiss business in $6.29 billion deal

- Sunrise Communications Group AG has agreed to buy Liberty Global PLC’s Swiss business UPC Switzerland in a 6.3 billion Swiss francs deal, the mobile phone and internet services company said on Wednesday.

The purchase strengthens Sunrise’s position as Switzerland’s second largest telecoms company, and is another European sale by Liberty Global which divested its Austrian business to T-Mobile Austria last year. Analysts have said a tie-up makes sense, given that Sunrise and UPC’s fixed and mobile services would make the combined entity a stronger rival to the dominance of state-controlled Swisscom.

Liberty Global, set up by U.S. cable pioneer John Malone, has been selling off its assets in the last year. The U.S. listed company is also awaiting European Union approval for its sale of its assets in Germany and eastern Europe to Vodafone for $21.8 billion.

GE's stock soars after deal to sell biopharma business to Danaher for $21.4 billionShares of General Electric Co. shot 8.8% in premarket trade Monday, after the industrial conglomerate agreed to sell its biopharma business to Danaher Corp. for $21.4 billion in cash. "Today's transaction is a pivotal milestone," said GE Chief Executive Lawrence Culp. "It demonstrates that we are executing on our strategy by taking thoughtful and deliberate action to reduce leverage and strengthen our balance sheet." Culp had served as CEO of Danaher from 2001 to 2014. Danaher said it expects to finance the deal with $3 billion from an equity offering, cash on hand and the issuance of debt. Danaher expects the deal, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019, to reduce net earnings by share by $1.15 to $1.20 in the first full year, but add to adjusted EPS by about 45 cents to 50 cents. GE's stock has soared 34.4% over the past three months through Friday, while Danaher shares have climbed 10.8% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has gained 7.2%.
