Bond advises Arcus Infrastructure Partners and E-Fiber on the increase of funding by ABN Amro and Rabobank for further expansion of the E-Fiber fibre-optic network
The original financing involved a large number of E-Fiber's fibre-optic networks. An increasing number of these networks are already providing fibre-optic connections to consumers. Another part of the networks is still in various stages of construction.
With this additional financing, E-Fiber can roll-out new fibre-optic networks in several other locations.
Arcus is an independent private equity company focused on telecom, transport and energy and it is exclusively active on the European market. With its fibre-optic network, E-Fiber provides FTTH (fibre to the home) services in the Netherlands.
The COVID-19 pandemic meant a sharp increase in home working and home education and with it the demand for fast internet connections. This demand is expected to continue. In addition to consumer demand for FTTH, this has also led to a significant increase in interest from local and international investors and financiers.
