Well no figure has been provided but considering LG bought VM for around 23 Billion dollars 7 years ago and O2 was valued at £10 billion 5 years ago I would be interested in how VM would be the lesser partner in a 50:50 merger that they would have supplement the deal with cash.

Now if LG/VM were to “buy” O2 in a stocks and cash offer, then obviously I could see cash payment.
