A COMPANY part-owned by Wrexham AFC co-chairman Ryan Reynolds is being purchased for as much as $1.35 billion.
Mint Mobile, which is partly owned by the Deadpool star is being bought by T-Mobile US Inc., according to Bloomberg.
The sale, which has not yet taken place is set to be worth close to $1.35b.
It is believed that the Reds co-chairman will still continue as a spokesperson for the company as he has done with Aviation Gin.
Bloomberg said: "T-Mobile US Inc. is buying Mint Mobile, the budget wireless provider part owned by actor Ryan Reynolds, for as much as $1.35 billion in an effort to bolster its prepaid phone business and reach more lower-income customers.
"The second-largest US wireless provider is acquiring Mint’s closely held parent company, Ka’ena Corp., with a combination of 39% cash and 61% stock, according to a statement Wednesday.
"The ultimate purchase price will be based on Mint reaching certain performance goals, both before and after the transaction closes."
