Following completion, which is expected to take place by the end of May, Dixons Carphone will receive a 3 percent stake in the Drillisch Group, with potential further deferred payments from future excess cash flows.

The German company said it sees opportunities for further cooperation with Dixons Carphone, such as handset insurance and hardware.
