Telkom rejects Rain

Telkom has informed shareholders that it has terminated discussions relating to Rain’s proposal about a potential acquisition.

Rain made a formal proposal to Telkom on 30 September 2022, suggesting that Telkom buy it with newly issued shares.
 
So back to MTN or just business as usual trying to stay afloat
 
However, as a result of Telkom’s discussions with Rain... causing a 25% drop in Telkom’s share price.
Telkom surges 11% as it calls off merger talks with Rain (News24)

This basically tells me that the shareholders thought that the purchase price was too high?

Good, and hopefully MTN will stay away from them - with proposals - for a few more years at least.

Want my Telkom (fixed) LTE to stay as it is without interference from outsiders - reasonably priced / decent amounts of GB's and relatively fast (downloads).
 
If Rain was engaging simply to delay the MTN/Telkom deal, then their strategy did buy them time
