Vocus will provide fixed network services back to TPG as part of the agreement, TPG said in a statement Monday.
The transaction, due to complete in the second half of 2025, marks the end of TPG’s strategic review of its fiber network infrastructure. The company expects the sale to deliver net cash proceeds of between A$4.65 billion and A$4.75 billion.
The agreement “creates a more focused and streamlined business with significant optionality for the optimization of our capital structure,” TPG Chief Executive Officer Iñaki Berroeta said.
Vocus, which is backed by Macquarie Asset Management and Aware Super, said after the deal it will operate a network of more than 50,000 kilometers (31,000 miles) of owned or leased fiber.
