UBS picked to sell Zain's Saudi unit - sources | Reuters

Kuwaiti telecoms carrier Zain (ZAIN.KW) has appointed UBS (UBSN.VX) to sell its Zain Saudi unit, sources said on Thursday.

Zain selling its Saudi unit is a regulatory condition for Abu Dhabi group Etisalat's (ETEL.AD) $12 billion bid for a controlling stake in Zain.

Etisalat and Zain both have units in Saudi Arabia and compete for market share there.
