Bloomberg talked about the preparation of the largest merger deal in the world

German mobile operator Deutsche Telekom and T-Mobile, which is its U.S. subsidiary, are preparing for the world's largest merger and acquisition. This was reported by Bloomberg on April 22, citing a source familiar with the details of the deal.

"The German mobile operator is already the largest shareholder of T-Mobile, owning approximately 53% of the shares. <...> The companies discussed the creation of a new holding company that would place shares in both Deutsche Telekom and T-Mobile," the publication says.

According to the agency's interlocutor, negotiations on the deal are at an early stage, while political support is needed for its implementation. It is noted that the companies have repeatedly considered the possibility of merging, but they have not come to any agreement, so there are no guarantees of their merger in the near future.

According to Bloomberg estimates, the market capitalization of a possible holding company could be about $380 billion. Currently, the largest merger and acquisition is the deal between America Online and Time Warner, whose value has reached $186 billion.
