Choircom Acquires TelePol

It was announced in a press release today that Choircom has acquired Polish telecommunications
provider TelePol for $1.5 billion. This acquisition was dependent on approval from Poland's
Commerce Commission, which, after weeks of consideration, finally came through last Friday.

The Dubai-based media and communications conglomerate Choircom has been looking to move
into the Eastern European market for some time. As a result, Choircom executives were delighted
to have the opportunity to take over Poland's largest telecommunications company.

Choircom spokespeople have been quick to assure TelePol's 35,000-strong workforce that there
will be no lay-offs or corporate restructuring in the medium term. Choircom executives intend to
spend the first few months familiarizing themselves with TelePol's systems and the Polish market
before deciding whether to take actions to improve the organization's efficiency.

According to the report, why did Choircom make this acquisition?

(A) To capitalize on a bargain offering
(B) To gain entry to the Eastern European market
(C) To make up for underperformance in other markets
(D) To invest capital in a different industry

(A) They can make submissions to the commerce commission.
(B) They will be subjected to corporate restructuring.
(C) They will have to familiarize themselves with new systems.
(D) They will keep their jobs in the meantime.
