    Digicel has announced that it has signed an agreement with América Móvil to acquire its Claro business in Jamaica.

    Digicel disclosed the sale in a press release on Friday afternoon.

    The deal will also see Digicel selling its business in El Salvador and Honduras to America Movil.

    The financial terms of the transaction are not being disclosed however there will be a net cash payment to Digicel.

    The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the second calendar quarter.

    Just heard it again, "Digicel signs deal to purchase Claro in Jamaica". It is a done deal.This is indeed big news. It looks like a swap. BAD news for Jamaica!
