Is o2 being taken over? The reality is:

Hutchison Whampoa, parent company to Three UK has entered into exclusive discussions with Telefonica SA, parent company of o2 uk, and are now commencing due diligence in relation to a potential acquisition of o2 uk for a consideration of up to £9.25 bn plus up to a further £1bn based on future performance.

HW stated that there is no certainty that a deal would be concluded.

The proposed acquisition is subject to regulatory clearance both by OFCOM and EU Competition Authorities.
