America Movil SAB is discussing an agreement to combine its Telekom Austria AG shares with the Austrian government to form a syndicate, a move that would lead to a bid for full control of the European phone carrier.

America Movil has had discussions with other shareholders, including government holding company OIAG, to explore mutual cooperation, the Mexico City-based company said yesterday in a statement. The company said formal talks could be started about a shareholders’ syndicate agreement with OIAG.
