SUPERLOOP COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF LIGHTNING BROADBAND
Completion of Transaction
Superloop Limited (ASX: SLC) ("Superloop") today announces it has completed the acquisition of 100% of Lynham Networks Pty Ltd, the parent company of Lightning Broadband, for $165 million in cash consideration, subject to final completion adjustments in accordance with the Share Purchase Agreement.
The acquisition (executed on 18 February 2026) accelerates Superloop's Smart Communities strategy and further scales its position as a national Fibre-to-the-Premises ("FTTP") challenger: ASX announcement dated 18 Feb 2026.
Lynham Networks operates an open-access wholesale FTTP network across more than 400 Multi-Dwelling Unit ("MDU") and Single-Dwelling Unit ("SDU") developments, supported by Statutory Infrastructure Provider ("SIP") status under Australian telecommunications legislation. At the end of April, the business comprised approximately 56,000 secured lots¹ across Victoria, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia, including approximately 16,000 services in operation.
The acquisition was funded from existing cash and Superloop's debt facilities. Following completion, net debt is expected to remain low at approximately 1.4x EBITDA.
Joint Functional Separation Undertaking approved
Superloop confirms that its Joint Functional Separation Undertaking ("JFSU") has been approved by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and has become effective from Completion.
The JFSU establishes a functionally separated operating framework for Superloop's wholesale FTTP activities and supports open-access engagement with retail service providers as the Smart Communities platform continues to scale.
ENDS
