Two KPN directors appointed by America Movil (AMX), which is controlled by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, did not vote in favour of the deal, according to people close to the situation. However, the backing from the remaining six directors was enough to secure board approval for the deal. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
