Investor set to make offer for BenQ Mobile - paper
FRANKFURT, Dec 29 (Reuters) - The German unit of mobile phone maker BenQ Mobile (2352.TW: Quote, Profile, Research), which filed for insolvency in August, has found an investor willing to buy at least part of the business, Germany's Neue Ruhr/Neue Rhein-Zeitung reported.
The newspaper quoted BenQ Mobile's works council chief on Friday as saying that two parties were seriously interested in buying the business, and that one was ready to make an offer.
"At least one of the two will definitely present an offer on Jan. 2," Michael Leucker told the newspaper. He said both were German firms who also had offices in the United States.
A spokeswoman for BenQ Mobile's insolvency administrator in Germany said: "We are still negotiating with several investors. That's the current situation."
A spokesman for trade union IG Metall told Reuters the potential buyer was not from the telecoms industry. "It's a pure business investor who believes he's in a position to raise the necessary money."
The spokesman said the investor had said he wanted to continue the production of mobile phones and would rehire 700-800 of BenQ Mobile's 3,000 former staff in Germany.
The former BenQ Mobile employees will from Jan. 1 belong to a transfer firm set up by German industrial conglomerate Siemens (SIEGn.DE: Quote, Profile, Research), which gave away the loss-making mobile phones business to Taiwanese technology group BenQ in 2005.
A takeover of the whole business in its current form is not realistic, the IG Metall spokesman said. "A classic rescue is no longer in sight," he said.
The investor would not have any obligation to former employees of BenQ Mobile or to suppliers, as the offer would be made at the start of next year, when the business officially goes into insolvency.
