Vodafone ( (GB:VOD) ) just unveiled an update.
Vodafone has agreed to sell its 50% stake in Dutch telecoms operator VodafoneZiggo to Liberty Global for €1 billion in cash and a 10% shareholding in the new Ziggo Group, which will own 100% of both VodafoneZiggo and Belgian operator Telenet. The deal values VodafoneZiggo at 7.1 times forecast 2025 adjusted EBITDA and 14.2 times adjusted operating free cash flow, underscoring strong investor appetite for converged cable and mobile assets in the Benelux region.
Liberty Global plans to spin off its 90% stake in Ziggo Group to shareholders and seek a full listing on Euronext Amsterdam in 2027, a move expected to unlock financial and operational synergies across the combined Dutch and Belgian businesses. Vodafone will retain exposure through its 10% Ziggo Group stake and will earn €625 million over 10 years by continuing to provide services such as brand licensing, while the transaction, subject to regulatory approvals, is set to complete in the second half of 2026.
