Deutsche Glasfaser, a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) provider in Germany, which is backed by EQT Infrastructure and OMERS, has signed a debt financing agreement totaling €5.75bn, with a consortium of lenders, for the purposes of i) refinancing its existing debt and ii) providing incremental capital to invest in fiber optic deployments in Germany. Notably, this deal represents the largest fiber optic financing transaction in Germany. This is an ESG-linked loan as the margins on the deal are tied to three KPIs - carbon dioxide emissions, connecting rural households to the fibre optic network and social responsibility as an employer.
