Quamnet News Service
Hutchison Whampoa Ltd.'s (0013) HK$2.9 billion acquisition of a stake in Global Crossing is a reasonable investment, said Group Managing Director Canning Fok.

Fok said Hutchison and its partner Singapore Technologies Telemedia Pte will hold 70 percent to 80 percent of the fiber-optic network operator after the acquisition. He refused to disclose further details though.

Hutchison and Singapore Technologies will pay US$750 million (HK$5.85 billion) for the majority stake, reports said. The deal is part of a sponsored filing for Chapter 11 protection under the U.S. bankruptcy code.

Hutchison shares rose after unveiling the deal. By 11:29 a.m. Hong Kong time, it had risen 2.8 percent to HK$74 on turnover of HK$342.6 million.
