Antin Infrastructure Partners is exploring a sale of Dutch fiber-optic network owner Eurofiber that could value the company at more than 1.5 billion euros ($1.7 billion), people with knowledge of the matter said.
The Europe-focused private equity firm has had preliminary contact with potential buyers, including infrastructure funds, to gauge their interest, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. Deliberations are at an early stage, and Antin hasn’t started a formal auction process, according to the people.
