- Zegona Communications plc Zegona Communications plc is a United Kingdom-based holding company that invests in and operates telecommunications, media, and technology (TMT) businesses across Europe, employing a Buy-Fix-Sell strategy to enhance value; it serves primarily as the parent of Vodafone Spain, the third-largest telecommunications operator in Spain under the Vodafone, Lowi, and Finetwork brands, offering broadband internet, mobile telecommunications including 5G, fixed-line voice and data services, pay-TV, and other value-added products to approximately 18 million residential, small-to-medium enterprise, and large corporate customers, as well as emerging wholesale operations. Founded in 2015 and headquartered at 8 Sackville Street in London, the company generates service revenue primarily from consumer (63%), business (33%), and other segments (4%), supplemented by equipment sales, with principal operations concentrated in Spain following strategic acquisitions. Zegona Communications plc completed its acquisition of Vodafone Spain in 2024 for €4.1 billion in cash and €0.9 billion in redeemable preference shares, funded by €3.9 billion in senior secured debt and €1.2 billion in equity; it recently signed binding agreements for AXA IM Alts to acquire a 40% stake in its FiberPass joint venture with Telefónica España and Vodafone Spain for €1.8 billion upfront proceeds, expected to close in early 2026, while Singapore's GIC acquired a 25% stake in another fiber optic venture in 2025; additional initiatives include a FibreCo contract with MasOrange in late 2024 to expand national fiber broadband coverage, ongoing cost-saving measures such as digitalization of sales channels, network efficiencies, headcount reductions, and capex optimization targeting EBITDA margins above 40%, alongside growth in value brands like Lowi through enhanced 5G and content offerings.
