“The Omani firm has accepted the offer we received to sell our shares in WorldCall. But the deal is still in the process of fulfilling different requirements.”
Mamari revealed without explaining.
While in September, WorldCall told the Pakistan Stock Exchange that it aims to purchase its shares back from Omantel. It did not reveal a price; its share price last barred at Rs.2.81 in the Pakistani market, down from around Rs.17 in February 2008, when Omantel’s acquisition announcement was made.
Lately the telecom services provider had introduced a new subsidiary to support the roll-out of a nationwide IoT network.
Internet of Things is a collaboration between Omantel (55 per cent) and SIGFOX (45 per cent), a provider of communications services for IoT.
