Money manager Gabelli acquires Leap Wireless stake

Reuters, 08/13/2001 16:17

WASHINGTON, Aug 13 (Reuters) - New York money manager Mario Gabelli has acquired a 5.7 percent stake in wireless telephone services firm Leap Wireless Inc. (NASDAQ:LWIN) for investment purposes, according to a regulatory filing on Monday.

Gabelli and affiliates hold a total of 1.9 million common shares, he reported in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The most recent transactions include 36,000 shares purchased on August 9 for between $18.95 and $19.62 apiece.

Shares of Leap have fallen more than 48 percent since July 25 when the San Diego, California-based company disclosed in its second quarter earnings report that it needed $120 million in revenues in the fourth quarter to meet requirements under credit agreements with telecommunications equipment vendors.

Those vendors included Lucent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:LU) and Nortel Networks Corp. (TSE:NT) (NYSE:NT).

Leap shares closed down $2.72, or almost 14 percent, to $16.78 in afternoon trading on Nasdaq.

The stock has underperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index by about 26 percent since the beginning of the year.
