  5. The Privatization of Anatolia National Telekom:What Did Happen?

  6. Managing Value Expectations

  7. Highlights 1998 - 1999 • Privatization attempt stalled in early 1998 • Political considerations: new elections in 1999. • Privatization idiosyncratic factors: more than 30 national telecoms were privatized during 1998/99. Turkey did not have a regulator yet. • 1999: Focus on other, small privatizations. Defining regulatory and legislative framework. Installation of an embryonic regulator.

  8. Highlights 2000 • Appointed new financial advisors in June 2000. • Deadline August 15, 2000. No foreign investor even purchased bidding documents. Five local groups did, but did not visit the data room. • December 2000 • Strategic stake increased to 35% from 20%. • Strong management rights attached to the stake • Day to day run by strategic investor. • Strategic decisions by board of directors, where government has a seat. • Other deal-sweeteners: • GSM license (approx. value of $2.5bn). • Monopoly in wireline telephony until 2004. • New bids invited until mid-May 2001.

  9. Highlights 2001 • Road show was kicked off in January, but was halted before seeing London investors. • ”Hard” IMF deadline for mid-May postponed sine die. • End of March Supreme Court ruled privatization as “illegal”. Privatization has to go through another legislative process. • IMF is now thinking of a 51% public offering.

  10. Foreign Investors’ Concerns • Market timing, both Turkey and telecom sector. • Capital constraints of likely investors. European telecoms spent $175bn in UMTS licenses. • Serious doubts about corporate governance mechanisms. • Low profitability per line compared to other telecoms. Low wireline growth expectations.

  11. Nothing done Process halted (2) Process halted (1) Elections Process halted (3) Missed Window of Opportunity
