Macquarie Asset Management (Macquarie), on behalf of its institutional clients and managed funds, has provided €125 million in senior term loan financing to lyntia, a leading neutral wholesale telecommunications infrastructure operator in the Iberian Peninsula.
Through its extensive fibre network, lyntia provides infrastructure, optical, and connectivity services to a diverse customer base, enabling high-capacity connectivity for operators, enterprises, and the growing data centre ecosystem in Iberia.
Macquarie's financing forms part of a financing package of €1.4 billion, which will support lyntia's continued growth and help meet rising demand for high-capacity connectivity in the region.
Andy Liu, Senior Vice President at Macquarie Asset Management, said: "Drawing on our deep institutional experience in the digital infrastructure sector, we are pleased to support lyntia through this long-term financing package. The transaction showcases our strong sector and structuring capabilities and delivers a positive outcome for our clients seeking greater exposure in the sector. We look forward to partnering with lyntia and supporting the business through its next phase of growth, continuing to develop high-capacity digital infrastructure across Iberia."
The transaction was delivered through Macquarie Asset Management's Credit & Insurance division - an integrated global credit platform delivering a comprehensive range of solutions across private credit, liquid credit, and insurance. The platform also recently provided €97 million of debt financing to Greenalia Power Spain.
Macquarie has been active across Iberia for over 20 years, and maintains an established presence in Madrid. The local team of approximately 10 professionals support the region's economic growth through long term investment across infrastructure and related sectors.
