A statement issued yesterday (22 February) from the Egyptian Financial Supervisory Authority said 15 February marked 60 days since the first offer and so final offers would be made by sealed bids.
It added Pioneers had submitted a request in which it "expressed its desire to continue in the bidding process according to a sealed bids system".
EFSA is to indicate a date and location to open the bids.
