Telia secures approvals for Bredband2 takeover ahead of January deadline
Telia Company has moved closer to acquiring Bredband2 after securing all required regulatory approvals. The Swedish Competition Authority gave its green light, clearing a major hurdle in the takeover process. Shareholders now have until January 30th 2026 to accept the offer.
The acceptance period for Telia’s public offer to buy Bredband2 shares began on September 1st 2025. It will remain open until January 30th 2026, giving shareholders nearly five months to decide.
Telia’s CEO, Allan Åkesson, had previously recommended the takeover. The company confirmed that all necessary authority approvals had been obtained, removing legal obstacles to the deal.
Settlement for the tendered shares will start once every condition is met. If the final announcement is made by February 2nd 2026, the process should begin on February 6th 2026.
The acquisition now depends on shareholder response before the January deadline. If completed, the deal will mark a significant step in Telia’s expansion. Settlement for accepted shares is expected to follow shortly after the final confirmation.
