Telia Company divests its holding in Yoigo to MÁSMÓVIL


Telia Company has agreed to sell its 76.6 percent holding in the Spanish
operator Yoigo to MÁSMÓVIL, a Spanish telecommunications operator. The
transaction price is based on an enterprise value of EUR 625 million for 100
percent of Yoigo. The deal is subject to approval from the Spanish competition
authorities. The transaction is expected to close during the third quarter of
2016.
“The divestment of Yoigo is an important milestone in our ambition to increase
focus on our operations in the Nordics and Baltics. I am happy that we have an
agreement with MÁSMÓVIL, who will be able to leverage a small but great and
agile team into a combined unit, creating an even stronger challenger in the
Spanish market,” says Johan Dennelind, Telia Company’s President and CEO.

The transaction price is based on an enterprise value for Yoigo of EUR 625
million, of which Telia Company’s 76.6 percent share corresponds to EUR 479
million. The agreed price implies an EV/EBITDA multiple of approximately 8.1x
based on Yoigo’s 2015 results. The divestment is estimated to generate a capital
gain of more than SEK 4 billion. Following debt adjustments, the transaction is
expected to reduce net debt for Telia Company by approximately SEK 6 billion.
Capital gain and impact on net debt are subject to timing of closing of the
transaction and FX movements.

Yoigo has approximately 3.3 million subscriptions and a market share of 7
percent in Spain. Sales in 2015 were approximately SEK 8 billion. Telia
Company’s ownership in Yoigo is 76.6 percent. As part of the transaction, the
minority owners ACS (17.0%), FCC (3.4%) and Abengoa (3.0%) will continue to have
an exposure to the combined entity. Telia Company, and the minority
shareholders, are entitled to a break-up fee of EUR 30 million if the
transaction would not be completed.
