Digi prepares a July 16 stock market debut to raise €500 million for fibre and mobile network expansion
Executive summary: Digi announced it will list on the Spanish stock exchange on July 16, seeking to raise €500 million through a combined public offering and voluntary subscription, with €100 million already committed by the Mayoral family and a planned placement of 25 % of its capital. The financing will fund significant fibre and mobile network expansions, strengthening Digi’s competitive position in Iberian telecommunications and signalling strong demand for new tech IPOs in Spain.
Who is involved: Digi (Spanish subsidiary of the Romanian telecom operator), Mayoral owners (textile group), Spanish equity market and prospective institutional investors
Likely next: Final pricing and bookbuilding will be completed before the July 16 debut, after which trading begins and the company may consider follow‑on offerings if investor demand remains strong.
The Romanian telecom operator’s Spanish unit has secured €100 million from the owners of textile group Mayoral and intends to place a quarter of its capital in an OPV/OPS transaction. The proceeds are earmarked for accelerating fibre‑to‑the‑home and 5G roll‑outs, positioning Digi to compete more aggressively in Iberian broadband markets. While the deal reflects healthy investor appetite for Spanish tech listings, its success will hinge on final pricing, market conditions ahead of the July 16 launch and the ability to deliver on the promised infrastructure build‑out.
