Update on ADTiM SAS acquisition

On 19 May 2022, the Company announced that it had secured conditional agreement to acquire a 55% interest in ADTiM SAS, an independent wholesale fibre network in France. As certain conditions related to this transaction have not been fulfilled, HICL today announces that the acquisition will not complete, and that the Company and the seller have formally ended the transaction process.

The Company remains on track to complete its remaining commitment, the acquisition of Texas Nevada Transmission, before 31 March 2023. This investment will be funded by the Company's £400m RCF. The £330m accordion remains available for the Company's attractive pipeline.
