Ryan Reynolds has joked that T-Mobile beat out an “aggressive, last-minute bid” from his mother to purchase Mint Mobile, after it was announced the wireless firm will be acquired in a deal worth up to $1.35bn.
On Wednesday, it was reported that T-Mobile would be acquiring the budget mobile company, which is partly owned by the actor, through a cash and stock deal to purchase Ka’ena Corp and its brands. Under the deal, which is expected to close later this year, T-Mobile will also acquire Ultra Mobile and wholesaler Plum, which already use T-Mobile for their network.
