Vauban leads bidding for EQT's Globalconnect fiber at ~SEK 19B

Vauban Infrastructure Partners is the leading bidder for EQT-backed Globalconnect's Swedish fiber operations, with a bid valuing them at around SEK 19 billion, below EQT's earlier asking price. The lower valuation suggests a potential discount, reflecting market conditions or asset-specific factors. The outcome will determine EQT's exit value and may signal pricing trends in European digital infrastructure M&A.
