The European Commission has cleared the proposed merger involving Digitalbridge, TCGL, County Broadband, Freedom Fibre, and Truespeed under the EU Merger Regulation (Council Regulation 139/2004). The decision, classified under Article 6(1)(b), indicates that the concentration does not raise competition concerns and is considered a 'super-simplified' procedure. The notification date was February 18, 2026, with the decision published on March 12, 2026.

This clearance means the transaction can proceed as planned. Regulated entities involved in the merger should ensure all post-merger integration activities align with the approved structure. No specific compliance actions are required from external parties as this is a clearance decision. The provisional deadline mentioned was March 25, 2026.
