Liberty Global completed its buyout of Vodafone’s 50% stake in VodafoneZiggo, forming majority-owned Ziggo Group ahead of a planned 2027 Amsterdam spin-off and listing, while undertaking major refinancing and asset disposals to deleverage its Benelux telecom platform.

On August 3, 2026, Liberty Global Ltd. announced it has completed the acquisition of Vodafone Group Plc’s 50% stake in the VodafoneZiggo joint venture, consolidating full ownership and paving the way for the creation of Ziggo Group, a Benelux-focused telecom holding company that will encompass VodafoneZiggo in the Netherlands and Telenet in Belgium and Luxembourg, with Vodafone receiving approximately €1.0 billion in cash and a 10% equity interest in Ziggo Group while Liberty Global retains 90% and plans a tax-efficient spin-off and Amsterdam listing of its stake in 2027; concurrently, the company finalized the financial separation of Telenet’s and Wyre’s credit facilities following Belgian regulatory approval, executed substantial intra-group refinancing via Wyre’s €2.71 billion debt draw and related repayments and dividend, and initiated €1.2–1.4 billion of asset disposals across Telenet, VodafoneZiggo’s towers, and certain properties to reduce group debt, with Stephen van Rooyen designated as CEO and Jany Fruytier as CFO of the new Ziggo Group once operations commence in September.
