Orange Secures €1.3 Billion Financing to Acquire Scorefit
Orange has secured a financing deal worth €1.3 billion from CaixaBank and BNP Paribas to fund the purchase of Scorefit shares. This move is part of the group's strategy to transition from copper to fiber.
Orange has reached a financing agreement of €1.3 billion with CaixaBank and BNP Paribas to acquire all shares of Scorefit, which are currently 100% owned by a subsidiary of BNP Paribas. The financing, with a term of 5 years, has been structured under financial conditions described as highly attractive by the group.
