BT
CONTINUES TRANSFORMATION OF GLOBAL WITH SALE OF SELECTED DOMESTIC
OPERATIONS IN LATIN AMERICA
New, simplified setup to sharpen focus on serving multinational
customers in the region
BT
today announced that it has reached an agreement for the sale of
selected domestic operations and infrastructure in 16 countries in
Latin America to CIH Telecommunications Americas LLC ('CIH'), an
affiliate of CIH Technology Holdings. The transaction is subject to
regulatory approval and is expected to complete during this
calendar year.
BT will
retain a strong presence in the region after the sale, delivering
next-generation networking, cloud and security services to
multinational customers across 21 countries.
The
transaction is part of BT's ongoing transformation of its Global
unit and will deliver continuity and growth opportunities for
customers and employees in the region. BT and CIH have also entered
into wholesale and reseller agreements, under which CIH will act as
a regional channel for BT's products and services and continue to
supply domestic connectivity services to BT.
Assets
and operations in the scope of the transaction delivered revenue of
£110m to BT in fiscal year 2018/19. They include two owned
fibre networks with total length of 650km, 2000km of leased fibre
lines, four data centres and five teleports. The divested business
is headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil.
"Today's
announcement is a key milestone in the execution of our strategy to
become a more agile and focused business. It comes at a
particularly challenging time for the global economy. As such, it
is a sign of our determination to keep the business moving forward
and continue connecting communities, businesses and governments. I
am pleased to begin a new chapter in the region with CIH, providing
continuity for our people and our customers," said Bas Burger, CEO
of Global, BT.
"We are very excited to be re-entering global
telecommunications after having successfully focused on the
technology sector over a number of years. We have considerable
experience in the region and the sector, and greatly look forward
to growing the business and providing the highest level of service
to all customers in the region, including BT. The acquired business
fits very well with our strategy and existing global
portfolio," said George Kappaz, CIH's Chairman.
BT and
CIH have agreed not to disclose the terms of the purchase, which
were agreed to in March 2020.

BT AND COMPUTACENTER IN TALKS ON THE SALE OF BT'S DOMESTIC
OPERATIONS IN FRANCE
Planned divestment part of BT's ongoing transformation - Deal would
strengthen Computacenter's existing business in France
BT
and Computacenter today announce that they have entered exclusive
negotiations on the acquisition of BT's domestic operations in
France by Computacenter. The transaction is subject to
consultations with works councils over a minimum period of two
months. This process will adhere to any additional French
Government guidance issued as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
It will then be subject to regulatory approval, with completion
expected to take place by the end of 2020.
BT's
domestic operations in France include management and maintenance of
IT and network infrastructure, as well as networking and related
professional services. During the fiscal year ending in March 2019
they generated total revenue of c.£104m (c.€118m). The
acquisition would enable Computacenter to strengthen its position
in the French networking market and increase the number of its
major domestic customers in France.
The
planned transaction is part of BT's ongoing transformation of its
Global unit as it sharpens its focus on delivering next-generation
networking, cloud and security services to multinational
organisations.
BT
would retain a strong presence in France serving multinational
businesses and organisations, including access points to its global
network and a cyber security operations centre. BT and
Computacenter also intend to enter into a partnership agreement in
France, ensuring continuity for existing customers and future
growth opportunities.
"With
this agreement we are close to reaching another milestone in the
execution of our strategy to make BT Global a more agile business
focused on the growing requirements of our multinational customers.
I believe this agreement will prove a key step forward for our
customers, for our people and for BT. It also offers a positive
future for our domestic customers and the people who support them,"
said Bas Burger, CEO of Global, BT.
"This
planned acquisition represents a small increase in our current
revenues in France, which totalled €644.7m in 2019. The
current coronavirus pandemic shows the importance of secure and
reliable networks to our customers and this deal would
significantly strengthen our existing French business in this
growth area. It would bring our customer offering in France closer
to the broader portfolio in our larger European markets, providing
a strong foundation for our continued long-term growth," said Mike
Norris, CEO of Computacenter Group.
