About Zegona

Zegona was established with the objective of acquiring businesses in the European Telecommunications, Media and Technology sector with a ‘Buy-Fix-Sell’ strategy to deliver attractive shareholder returns. Zegona is listed on The London Stock Exchange’s Main Market and is led by former executives Eamonn O’Hare and Robert Samuelson.

Zegona’s first acquisition was the €640 million purchase of Telecable, the leading quadplay cable telecommunications operator in the Asturias region of Spain, which completed in August 2015. Zegona believes Telecable represents a compelling investment because of its market leading position in Asturias and strong cash generation, coupled with attractive dynamics in the Spanish telecommunications market and Spanish economy. In 2015, Telecable delivered revenues of €134million, EBITDA of €65 million and cash flow of €36 million.
