Telenor, the Norwegian telecommunications company, says it has reached an agreement to sell its Myanmar mobile phone business to M1 Group, exiting a country that was plunged into chaos after the military seized power in a coup on February 1.

The operator will sell all its operations to M1, an investment holding firm headed by Lebanon’s richest man and a former prime minister, for $105m.
