euNetworks builds and invests in city and long haul fibre networks to connect key European data centres and data hubs. The company owns and operates deep fibre networks in 18 cities as well as a highly differentiated long haul network that spans 45,000 route kilometres across 17 countries. As a specialist in the sector, euNetworks continues to grow and invest in partnership with its customers, supporting new technologies and deepening its unique fibre networks in Europe. These investments fuel the company’s growth.
The refinancing, which was driven by two of euNetworks’ existing investors, Stonepeak and Investment Management Corporation of Ontario (“IMCO”), attracted significant interest from infrastructure-focused financial institutions, reflecting the strong conviction in euNetworks’ position. The financing extends the sustainability link established in the previous debt raise in 2021, reinforcing euNetworks’ commitment to its ESG agenda. It includes a large committed revolving capital expenditure facility to support future organic growth opportunities and M&A activity, and establishes a long-term financing platform provided by 14 funders – ABN AMRO Bank, AXA IM Alts, Banco de Sabadell, CIBC UK, DNB (UK) Limited, Export Development Canada, Intesa Sanpaolo (IMI CIB Division), LBBW, Lloyds Bank, MUFG Bank, National Australia Bank, NIBC, Nord/LB, and Royal Bank of Canada.
"This debt financing enables us to sustain our growth alongside our customers, to further invest in and expand our network infrastructure footprint," said Katherine Alexakis, Chief Financial Officer of euNetworks. "The substantial liquidity accessible through this process underscores the robust value proposition and fundamental infrastructure delivered by euNetworks. We're pleased that this incremental debt raise allowed us to continue to incorporate our dedication to sustainability by integrating ESG-linked Key Performance Indicators, and we extend our gratitude to our lenders for their support as we continue to construct and deliver critical bandwidth infrastructure."
Cyrus Gentry, Managing Director at Stonepeak, said, "Europe presents numerous attractive capital prospects. This incremental, long-term infrastructure financing further empowers euNetworks to leverage its distinct position in the region. As a market leader in data centre connectivity in Europe, euNetworks consistently sets itself apart in an increasingly interconnected society, where key fibre networks are the bedrock of the digital infrastructure landscape we see ahead.”
Matthew Mendes, Managing Director and Head of Global Infrastructure at IMCO said, “We see tremendous growth opportunities in the bandwidth infrastructure sector, driven by an ever-increasing demand for data transmission. This financing will enable euNetworks to continue expanding and densifying its premier footprint, building the next generation network to serve this demand. IMCO is proud and excited to play a role in advancing euNetworks’ leadership position in European connectivity.”
euNetworks was advised by RBC Capital Markets (debt advisor), and A&O Shearman (legal counsel). The lenders were advised by Latham & Watkins.
