肯尼亚高等法院已裁定 Vodacom Group 收购该国最大电信运营商 Safaricom 15% 政府股份的交易无效，这使得一项价值 2043 亿肯尼亚先令（约合 1.58 亿美元）的交易在交割不到三个月后面临泡汤风险。\n\n这一裁决可能会撤销肯尼亚规模最大的企业交易之一，并迫使政府退还其作为筹集国有资产资金更广泛计划一部分而已售出的股份。\n\n周二，一个由三名法官组成的审判小组裁定该出售行为违宪，称政府向公众、内阁和议会隐瞒了关键信息，并对交易性质进行了虚假陈述。法院裁定，被包装为部分撤资的交易实际上赋予了 Vodacom 对 Safaricom 的控制权，构成了收购。\n\n法院宣布该出售无效，并下令将 15% 的股份退还给政府，以代表肯尼亚人民。\n\n法院裁定：“兹此宣告，肯尼亚政府部分剥离 Safaricom 15% 股份的行为是对 Safaricom PLC 的伪装合并、收购和接管，违反了宪法和法律。”\n\n交易完成后，Vodacom 对 Safaricom 的持股比例从 39.9% 上升至 55%。这一增长包括政府持有的 15% 股份，以及通过 Vodafone Kenya 获得的另外 5% 的实际权益。法院还推翻了用于批准该交易的审批程序。

Kenya’s High Court has voided Vodacom Group’s purchase of a 15% government stake in the country’s largest telco, Safaricom, putting a KES 204.3 billion ($1.58 billion) deal at risk less than three months after it closed.
The ruling could unwind one of Kenya’s biggest corporate transactions and force the government to return a stake it had already sold as part of a wider plan to raise money from state assets.
On Tuesday, a three-judge bench ruled that the sale was unconstitutional, saying the government withheld key information from the public, the cabinet, and parliament, and misrepresented the nature of the transaction. The court ruled that what was presented as a partial divestment gave Vodacom control of Safaricom and amounted to a takeover.
The court declared the sale invalid and ordered the 15% stake returned to the government on behalf of Kenyans.
“A declaration is hereby made that the partial divestiture of the 15% of the Government of Kenya shares in Safaricom was a camouflage merger or acquisition and takeover of Safaricom PLC and is in contravention of the Constitution and the law,” the court ruled.
Vodacom’s ownership of Safaricom rose to 55% from 39.9% after the transaction. The increase included the government’s 15% stake and a further 5% effective interest acquired through Vodafone Kenya. The court also struck down the process used to approve the sale.
