Experian confirms French unit sale talks

Date: Wednesday 10 Sep 2008

LONDON (ShareCast) - Credit checking firm Experian confirmed it is in "exclusive advanced" talks that could lead to its transaction processing activities in France being sold.

"Experian confirms that it is in exclusive advanced discussions with Doc@Post, a subsidiary of La Poste, and Advent International, the global private equity firm, which may lead to the divestment of these activities," it said.

The group added that there can be no certainty that the talks will lead to a transaction.
