Telecom also announced that is has sold its 18.2% stake in iiNet to institutional and sophisticated investors for approximately A$70 million.
“Together these transactions rationalise non-core assets, strengthen Telecom's financial position, and help reposition AAPT's operations into a focused, network-centric wholesale and corporate business that is well positioned for future growth” said Telecom CEO, Paul Reynolds.
