Deutsche Post abandons Austrian Post takeover

Posted by | Mar 14, 2005 | |

German postal company Deutsche Post has abandoned its plans to take over Austrian sector company Oesterreichische Post AG (Post) as the political framework over Post partial privatisation is still unclear, Deutsche Post said on March 14, 2005.

In July 2004 German media reported that Deutsche post had given an ultimatum to the Austrian government, which was later denied by the German company.

Recently Austria has proposed Post privatisation via the stock exchange.

Post largest shareholder state-owned holding company OeIAG sees the future of the postal company either listed on a stock exchange or managed jointly with a strategic partner like Deutsche Post.

The OeIAG supervisory board is not expected to discuss the Post privatisation at its meeting on April 7, 2005.
