In early 2019, the firm announced and then called off discussions to try to acquire Millicom within a matter of weeks.
At the time, no official reason was given for the breakdown in talks, but according to Bloomberg sources close to the matter communications broke down because LLA was unable win over Millicom’s management with a takeover bid that valued the company at $7.6 billion.
In the same year, LLA sold its subsidiary Cable & Wireless Seychelles to a consortium of local investors for $104 million and entered into a definitive agreement to acquire AT&T’s wireless and wireline operations in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands for $1.95 billion.
