Will make a binding offer for fibre unit of Brazilian telecom carrier Oi SA, sources say

Oi is planning to sell as much as 51 per cent of its subsidiary, known as InfraCo, with a value for the whole company of at least 20 billion reais .

Representatives for Oi, the Canada Pension Plan, BTG and Digital Colony declined to comment. Ufinet didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment outside of business hours. Oi has been working to pare down its operations while under bankruptcy protection. The struggling carrier raised 1.4 billion reais with the sale of towers and data centres last year. It also announced the signing of a deal with Brazil’s regulatory agency Anatel reducing the fines it need to pay by half, to 7.2 billion reais.Article content continued

In December, Oi got approval from Rio de Janeiro Justice to sell its mobile-phone business to Telefonica SA, Telecom Italia SpA and America Movil SAB for 16.5 billion reais, but the deal still needs to be cleared by Anatel and the antitrust body Cade.
