UPC to buy Poland's @Entertainment

AMSTERDAM, June 2 (Reuters) - Dutch-based cable television
operator United Pan-European Communications NV
(Nasdaq:UPCOY - news) (UPC) said on Wednesday it had
signed a definitive agreement to buy Polish cable and
programming provider @Entertainment (Nasdaq:ATEN - news)
(ATEN).

The all-cash offer valued ATEN at $19.00 per share, UPC said in a statement.

''The merger agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the board of directors of UPC
and @Entertainment, provides that UPC through a wholly owned subsidiary, will launch a tender
offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of @Entertainment's common stock,'' UPC said.

UPC floated in Amsterdam and on Nasdaq in February. As well as cable TV, it also has Internet
and telephony interests. United International Holdings (Nasdaq:UIHIA - news) holds a majority
stake of UPC.
