UAE's Etisalat will not re-bid for Zain - exec | Reuters

UAE's Etisalat (ETEL.AD) will not bid again for Zain (ZAIN.KW) after it scrapped a $12 billon takeover of the Kuwaiti firm in March, Etisalat's chief international investments officer said on Tuesday.

"We have put Zain behind us. It's over," Jamal al Jarwan said at a telecoms conference.

Etisalat scrapped its offer to buy a controlling stake in Zain citing Zain's divided board, extended due diligence and regional unrest.
