Carlos Slim's America Movil SAB (AMXL) plans to buy the rest of Royal KPN NV (KPN) for 7.2 billion euros ($9.6 billion), a move that may interfere with a bigger deal by the Dutch carrier to sell its German business to Telefonica SA. (TEF)
America Movil will bid 2.40 euros a share in cash for the 70 percent in KPN that it doesn't own, the Mexico City-based company said today. That's 20 percent more than yesterday's close.
