Swiss mobile devices software firm Myriad, currently mounting a hostile bid for AIM-listed mobile phone messaging technology group Synchronica, has asked the UK group to confirm it has paid the first slug of money it owes to Nokia.

On February 14th Synchronica, which bought the messaging business of slumping Finnish mobile phone giant Nokia in June 2011, said the first repayment to Nokia for deferred consideration on the deal will be paid this month. That was a bit too vague for Myriad, which wants to know whether the payment has been made, as it understands the transfer of funds was due on February 9th.
