Soros to Invest $150M in Qwest Unit

Associated Press

Published Oct 23, 2002 1023AP-QWEST-DIRECTO

DENVER (AP) - Soros Fund Management LLC has committed to a $150 million investment in the phone directory unit of Qwest Communications International Inc., one of the unit's buyers said.

Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe and Carlyle Group agreed in August to buy QwestDex for $7.05 billion. The sale will close in two parts for the unit's eastern and western operations in Qwest's 14-state region.

The buyers have been raising cash to pay for the unit.

Welsh Carson general partner Anthony DeNicola said in a conference call with potential investors Tuesday that Soros would buy $50 million of shares in the unit and $100 million of bonds of the directory's eastern operations, which sold for $2.75 billion.

Sale of the western operations of QwestDex was expected to close next year.

Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe did not return a call for comment Wednesday. Qwest and Soros representatives declined to comment.

Qwest sold the cash-generating QwestDex to help relieve some of its debt.

Qwest shares rose 6 cents to close at $3.21 Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange.
