Cellnex, through its wholly owned subsidiary Cellnex France, this week announced it has entered into a put option agreement with Vauban Infra Fibre (VIF) to sell 99.99 percent of Towerlink France, the entity responsible for the group’s main data center operations in France.
“We remain committed to operational excellence and disciplined capital allocation, always with the objective of delivering sustainable growth and long-term value for our shareholders,” said Marco Patuano, CEO of Cellnex.
VIF said the deal would strengthen its position in the French market and diversify its base of digital infrastructure. It would also reinforce the company’s partnership with Bouygues Telecom, Towerlink’s main client.
Steve Ledoux, CEO of VIF, added: "Towerlink will thrive within VIF by continuing to deliver our common ambition and accelerate our development in the data center market, and by implementing attractive synergies with other French data centers and digital assets of the portfolio. We look forward to supporting the company in deploying a high-quality portfolio of assets throughout France.”
