(Ladislav Kovář) New tender for the sale of majority in Metrostav, construction company, is under way. Friday was reportedly deadline for new binding bids. The short-list of potential buyers is to be prepared soon. 61.86% stake is being sold by Czech investment funds of Komercni banka and Ceska sporitelna. The funds and banks tried to sell their combined 62% stake in Metrostav last September but the tender winner did not pay for the stake. A second tender took place in the beginning of 2000, but the tender winner again did not pay. This round should be reportedly finished by the end of September. We maintain our hold recommendation.
