Canada’s largest new wireless company, Wind Mobile, is being put up for sale by its Amsterdam-based parent company VimpelCom Ltd., sources say.
UBS AG is said to be working for VimpelCom on the sale, said a source. Another person close to the situation said Wind CEO Anthony Lacavera’s holding company, AAL Corp., is teaming up with Egyptian billionaire and telecom magnate Naguib Sawiris’s investment firm Accelero Capital to consider a bid, for which they had already secured additional financing.
