0855 GMT [Zawya Dow Jones]--Cairo-based Naeem Brokerage sees a potential deal between France Telecom and Orascom Telecom Media and Technology, or OTMT, as positive for Mobinil's minority shareholders. "If the deal is materialized it will be a very good opportunity for Mobinil minority shareholders, because it will trigger a tender offer for them," says Ahmed Adel, a telecoms analyst at Naeem. The two telcos said Monday that they signed a non-binding MOU for the sale of OTMT's stake in Mobinil, ECMS at EGP202.5 per share. "The offered price [EGP202.5] is also high and above Mobinil's fair value," Adel says. Mobinil shares are still suspended. They last traded last at EGP136.37 Thursday.
