Regulatory News:
AXA IM Alts, a global leader in alternative investments, acting
on behalf of clients, and Swiss Life Asset Managers announce that
in a new joint venture they have agreed to the acquisition of
leading Spanish fibre business lyntia Networks from Antin
Infrastructure Partners (Paris:ANTIN).
lyntia Networks is a leading wholesale operator in the Spanish
telecommunications market and the only neutral provider operating
both lit and dark fibre, where it is the market leader. It owns and
operates a high quality nationwide fibre network of over 43,000 km
built primarily alongside electric power and gas distribution
infrastructure and is one of the largest providers of neutral
connectivity to large customers in Spain, with revenues underpinned
by long term contracts to blue chip companies. It offers long-haul
access, connecting c. 2,700 metropolitan and underserved
small-to-medium sized towns, as well as coastal areas, resulting in
limited competition over the footprint.
Antin Infrastructure Partners will continue to own and operate
the lyntia Access business which provides wholesale Fibre to the
Home (‘FTTH’) connectivity to residential properties.
Following this transaction, José Antonio López, will continue as
CEO of lyntia Networks, while Eduardo Taulet will remain with Antin
as CEO of lyntia Access.
The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and
is expected to close by the end of the year.
Commenting on the transaction José Antonio López, CEO of
lyntia Networks, said: “This investment guarantees the
long-term support of experienced telecom investors that will bring
value to our customers and contribute to the development of the
gigabit society in Spain through expertise in dark fibre, lit fibre
and edge data centres. I would like to thank Antin for its
fantastic support in helping grow lyntia’s network and business in
Spain, and welcome our new shareholders, AXA IM Alts and Swiss Life
Asset Managers, to continue developing this exciting project. We
will continue our strong cooperation with lyntia Access, providing
them with best-in-class XGS-PON transmission across the
country.”
Mark Gilligan, Head of infrastructure at AXA IM Alts
added: “Our investment strategy is underpinned by the three
themes we think will dominate 21st century infrastructure:
decarbonisation, electrification and digitalisation. lyntia
Networks is essential for the delivery of ultrafast internet
services throughout Spain and it makes a superb addition to our
growing digital infrastructure portfolio which includes XpFibre in
France and Data4 across Europe. We are looking forward to working
with our partners Swiss Life Asset Management and the Lyntia
Networks management team as we grow this optical fibre network and
its ancillary businesses toward 2030 and beyond.”
Emmanuel Lejay, Executive Director of Swiss Life Asset
Managers, commented: “We are very pleased to announce this new
investment in the telecommunication sector and to become the
largest investor in lyntia Networks, emphasising the expertise of
our team. Telecommunication infrastructure is a strategic asset
class for us as the world continues on its path towards
digitalisation. We are thrilled to support an experienced and
motivated management team to help lyntia Networks further grow in
the market and provide strong services to its clients. We are also
glad to complete the investment alongside a long term and
likeminded partner in AXA IM Alts.”
Mauricio Bolaña, partner of Antin Infrastructure Partners
said: “We are very pleased with the successful execution of our
value creation strategy. Together with management, we have built
lyntia Networks into the leading independent neutral wholesale
fibre operator in Spain through a focus on strong organic growth
and transformational M&A. We have also in parallel built up
lyntia Access into the largest independent FTTH access platform in
Spain going from less than 150,000 homes passed at acquisition to
over 2.4 million today. We will continue to own and develop lyntia
Access with Eduardo Taulet at the helm.”
Antin was advised by Deutsche Bank, UBS and Banco Santander,
with Herbert Smith Freehills as legal adviser. AXA IM Alts and
Swiss Life Asset Management were advised by Rothschild and DC
