Drahi Says Altice to Unveil Options to Cut Debt Load Soon

  • Drahi met investors in London before heading to New York
  • Meetings come amid Portuguese criminal probe linked to Altice

Billionaire Patrick Drahi said that his debt-laden telecommunications empire Altice would unveil different options for de-leveraging in the coming days, including an “equity raise and partnerships with different players.”

The French-Israeli tycoon was speaking to investors at a non-deal roadshow in London on Wednesday, after a summer wrestling with the fallout from a criminal corruption probe in Portugal targeting key figures connected to Altice.
