Bank of America to assist with strategic review
TPG has recruited Bank of America to assist with a strategic review of the company's Vision Network business unit.
The company said its board wants to unlock value for TPG Telecom shareholders and enable Vision Network to "exploit its full potential".
The Australian Financial Review reported Bank of America may help TPG sell its Vision Network business and will likely speak to prospective investors.
Vision Network provides fixed broadband to about 135,000 subscribers. The business is expected to generate more than $100 million of revenue in the 2023 financial year.
Commenting on today's news, TPG CEO and managing director Inaki Berroeta said:
Vision Network's operations are best-in-class and, following completion of the last phase of functional separation from our retail operations earlier this month, the business has compelling opportunities to fulfil its potential to become a leading wholesale residential broadband platform for multiple retail service providers.
TPG believes Vision Network has the potential to provide super-fast broadband connectivity to new building developments.
TPG said it will provide more updates to the market "in due course" and "as appropriate".
