One person familiar with the situation said the board meeting would be held on Monday morning New York time and three people said this meant the terms of the deal would likely be announced after the London market closes at 11:30 a.m. ET. Both the telecom giants declined to comment. The Vodafone board had been due to meet on Sunday, sources said, but it was not clear what their decision was. Sources told Reuters on Saturday that Verizon plans to pay for half of the purchase with its own stock. For the rest, it has tapped JPMorgan Chase & Co, Morgan Stanley, Barclays Plc and Bank of America Merrill Lynch to help raise the funds through a mix of bonds and bank loans, the sources said. The banks have committed to the financing that is expected to be split evenly among the four. One person familiar with the proceedings said on Sunday that Vodafone would get $60 billion in cash, $60 billion in Verizon stock, and an additional $10 billion from other smaller transactions that will take the total deal value to $130 billion.
