Linklaters advises arrangers and underwriters on the financing for Partners Group’s acquisition of a majority stake in EOLO

Linklaters has advised UniCredit, Natixis, Intesa Sanpaolo and Goldman Sachs as mandated lead arrangers and underwriters on the financing for Partners Group's acquisition of a 75% stake in Eolo S.p.A. The financing comprises a €375 million senior secured notes issue and a €125 million multicurrency RCF.

EOLO is the largest fixed wireless access (“FWA”) broadband provider in Italy, currently connecting over 600,000 households and businesses to the internet. The majority of these are based in rural parts of the country, where EOLO’s FWA technology is particularly important for overcoming connectivity challenges.

The Linklaters team was led by Banking partners Mark Hageman, Chris Medley and Andrew Jennens together with managing associate Angus Graham and associate Adriana Perez Cavazos. Other members of the London and Milan team included counsel Fabio Balza, managing associates Diego Esposito, Marco Carrieri and Eugenia Severino and associates Luke Dee, Filippo Nola and Dami Banire.
