On 9 February 2017 Nokia Corporation announced its intention to acquire Comptel Corporation by launching a recommended cash tender offer to purchase all the issued and outstanding shares and option rights in Comptel. The offer price is EUR 3.04 in cash for each share in Comptel and the tender offer values Comptel at approximately EUR 347 million, on a fully diluted basis. Shareholders representing jointly approximately 48.3 percent of the shares and votes in Comptel have given irrevocables to accept the offer.
 
The planned acquisition is part of Nokia's strategy to build a standalone software business. Comptel would bolster Nokia's software portfolio by adding critical solutions for catalogue-driven service orchestration and fulfillment, intelligent data processing, customer engagement, and agile service monetization.
