PCCW to make reasonable arrangements on C&W stake-Li

HONG KONG, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Internet and telecoms firm Pacific Century (Singapore: PCEN.SI - news) CyberWorks <0008.HK> will make arrangements soon to resolve uncertainty over Cable & Wireless Plc's 15 percent stake, PCCW Chairman Richard Li said on Wednesday.

"We talk regularly with Cable & Wireless, and we are working together on the Cable & Wireless stake, and we will make reasonable arrangements within one or two weeks," Li told reporters outside a reception.

Investors have punished PCCW over fears that C&W will dump half its stake once a lockup period lapses on Feb 17. PCCW has not so far found a buyer for the shares.

Market speculation has been rife in Hong Kong over rumoured buyers for the C&W holding.

Li declined to elaborate further on the C&W issue, citing regulatory constraints.

PCCW shares, which peaked at HK$28.50 nearly a year ago, rose one percent on Wednesday to close at HK$4.675, slightly outpacing the slight gain for the Hang Seng Index <.HSI>.
