Challenge

VodafoneZiggo needed to refinance its securitisation facility for 12 and 24 month mobile contracts — while also unlocking free cash flow and optimising working capital.

The challenge? Completing a complex transaction against a tight year-end deadline.

Solution

We proposed a tested off-balance sheet structure that allowed VodafoneZiggo to derecognise debt, boost free cash flow, and reduce leverage.

What we did:

To get there, we introduced a new external junior funder and renegotiated legal and commercial terms. Drawing on precedents from other Liberty Global securitisations, we delivered a solution that was both proven and tailored to VodafoneZiggo’s needs.
