Shareholders of Mobinil stock should profit from infrastructure and cost savings that will result from the synergy with LinkDotNet and Link. Chief Executive Hassan Kabbani said the deal should boost Mobinil's revenue, according to a Reuters report. In addition to Mobinil looking to expand its services and step up its competitive edge, "the sale was also driven by Orascom's need for cash, which it obtained through the selling off of a core asset," explained Mohamed Hamdy, telecommunications analyst for Naeem Brokerage in Cairo. He explained that the final outcome was better than Orascom had anticipated, in which France Telecom had offered the company only $70 million, which means $60 million less than what it obtained through the final agreement. Hamdy said Orascom's move was highly anticipated by his firm, as the company had been seeking for while ways to increase its cash flow.
