BT has confirmed the sale of its directories division, Yell, for £2.14bn.
The buyers, as expected, are two venture capital firms, Hicks Muse, Tate & Furst and Apax Partners.
However, the price is significantly lower than the £3bn BT originally hoped to raise from the sale.
The sale marks a major step in BT's battle to deal with its £30bn mountain of debt, which has already seen the company sell interests in Spain and Japan, and launch a £5.9bn rights issue.
