Telecoms giant Vodafone has secured 76.48 per cent of Kabel Deutschland (KDH) shares following its six billion pound offer at the end of July. Vodafone is planning to buy KDH, Germany's biggest cable company, to boost its television and fixed-line offerings in the country, which is home to the largest mobile market in Europe. Vodafone said intends to enter into a domination and profit and loss transfer agreement with KDH, and will call a vote to approve this agreement in a general meeting. KDH shareholders who on September 16th hadn't yet accepted the offer would still have a chance to do so for a period of two weeks, namely September 30th. Clearance from the European Commission is required for the transaction to complete. NR
