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 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'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.
