UPC’s parent company considers bidding to take over Ziggo
Liberty Global, the parent company of Dutch cable operator UPC, is considering making a bid for sector peer Ziggo, the Telegraaf reports on Thursday.
Ziggo’s owners – venture capital groups Warburg Pincus and Cinven – were preparing Ziggo for a partial sale, and a stock exchange launch was seen as the most likely option.
However, Liberty Global is rich enough to be able to buy Ziggo outright, the Telegraaf says.
