Synopsis

Euskaltel (BME:EKT), a Basque Country-based telecommunications group, and UK-based Zegona (LSE:ZEG), the parent company of Asturian operator Telecable, could be finalizing a merger agreement to create a large group with presence in northern Spain, reported Expansión on 6 February 2017.

The group would operate in the Basque Country, Asturias, and Galicia and, during 2017, could have a pro forma turnover of approximately EUR 750m, an EBITDA of EUR 360m, and generate cash up to EUR 250m.
