Nordic in-market consolidation continues apace. After Telia completed the acquisition of maurice.patrick@barclays.com

acquisitions in Norway in Jun 26, Telenor has now agreed (link here) to acquire a controlling Mathieu Robilliard

stake in Swedish broadband provider Bahnhof (not covered) in a transaction valuing the +44 (0)20 3134 3288

company at SEK 6.1bn EV, marking one of the most significant fixed-line consolidation deals in mathieu.robilliard@barclays.com

the Nordic telecom market. According to the company, Bahnhof serves more than 500k BBI, Paris

consumer and 15k enterprise customers and brings a combination of fibre access, proprietary Ganesha Nagesha

network infrastructure and five colocation data centres. The proposed acquisition +91 (0)22 6175 1712

would increase Telenor’s Swedish consumer broadband market share from c.15% to c.27%, ganesha.nagesha@barclays.com

making it the country’s second-largest fixed broadband provider.
