<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana">M2 Telecommunications has announced to the Australian Stock Exchange that it will acquire Dodo Australia for $203.9 million on a debt-free and cash-free basis. At the same time it has also made an off-market takeover offer for wholesale carrier Eftel at an offer price of $0.3581 per share; the offer would value Eftel at just over $44 million, inclusive of $5.6m net debt. <br>
</span></div><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt">M2 management said it expects the acquisitions to contribute in excess of $400m revenue and $50m EBITDA in FY14. Among the reasons cited for the acquisitions were that they would deliver M2 a nationally recognised low cost brand via Dodo that is well positioned to grow market share, as well as established capability in power and gas. </div>
