PCCW's proposed spin-off of telecom assets draws closer

The stock exchange is said to have given its nod to the listing through a trust and PCCW is expected to call an EGM in the next few weeks to seek approval from its shareholders for the spin-off.

More than a decade after PCCW bought Cable & Wireless’s Hong Kong telecoms business in a high-profile and highly leveraged transaction, it is getting ready to spin off the asset in the form of a dividend-paying trust that could raise as much as $2 billion.
