(Telecompaper) Vodafone has agreed to buy control of Greek broadband provider Hellas Online. Vodafone already holds an 18.4 percent stake in HOL since 2009, and the two work together in the market bundling fixed and mobile services. Vodafone Greece has agreed to acquire another 72.7 percent of HOL from Intracom for EUR 72.7 million cash. The transaction values the fully diluted equity of HOL at EUR 100 million and is equivalent to an enterprise value of EUR 311 million including HOL's adjusted net debt of EUR 211 million. HOL had 519,000 customers at the end of 2013 and generated revenue of EUR 227.4 million, EBITDA of EUR 68.4 million and capex of EUR 36.7 million last year. The takeover price values the company at 4.5 times annual EBITDA. Vodafone expects to achieve cost and capex synergies with an annual run-rate of EUR 24 million before integration costs by the third full year after completing the acquisition. The synergies will come from sharing network and IT infrastructure, savings on marketing and bill collections, and rationalisation of overlapping functions.
