Leighton Holdings Limited
(ASX:LEI) has revealed it is exploring the sale of its telecommunications infrastructure assets and has received a number of unsolicited inquires.
The construction company is considering selling Nextgen Networks, Metronode and Infoplex following a strategic review which identified the assets as non-core.
Leighton says it remains committed to the telecommunications sector through its subsidiary brands Visionstream, Silcar and John Holland Communications.
However, a divestment of the non-core assets would allow Leighton to provide those services to the telecommunications sector without owning infrastructure.
Leighton Holdings generated a net profit of $106 million in the first half of its 2012 financial year.
