TELEFONICA (TEF SM): Singapor​e​ SWF ​and ​CVC ​may be ​prepar​ing​ a ​joint ​€1.76b bid for a minority stake (47%?) in TEF´s unlisted telecom tower and submarine cable affiliate Telxius​,. The bid would value​ the TEF affiliate​ at €3.75b. TEF scrapped last year the IPO of Telxius as it did not attract sufficient investor interest​. The aborted placing valued the company​ at between €3-3.75b. Ardian or KKR​ may also be interested in Telxius​. (Expansion)
