London, UK, 23, October 2025 - Following on from its recent €1.3Bn refinancing, EXA Infrastructure has signed an agreement to purchase all long-haul duct assets belonging to Conexio doo Beograd ("Conexio"), a provider of dark fibre and colocation services across Serbia. The transaction further strengthens EXA Infrastructure’s strategic footprint in the Balkans, reinforcing its position as the region’s most reliable provider of modern digital infrastructure.
Steve Roberts, Senior Vice President of Strategic Investments at EXA Infrastructure, commented on the deal: “The purchase of the Conexio assets is core to our strategy to create the most reliable, modern infrastructure network in Europe. Conexio’s assets integrate seamlessly with our previous acquisitions of Unitel in Croatia and GCN in Bulgaria, meaning EXA Infrastructure now operates the leading homogeneous network connecting Western Europe to the Balkans, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, and beyond.”
Under the agreement, EXA Infrastructure will purchase Conexio’s longhaul network assets, comprising two high-density polyethylene (HDPE) ducts spanning 860km, existing cables, and 15 points of presence (PoP) locations. The transaction also includes the transfer of existing customer contracts, ensuring a seamless continuation of services.
Constructed in 2011, the Conexio network follows the main Serbian motorways, offering the shortest border-to-border routes with low latency and high reliability. The network connects the key Serbian cities of Belgrade, Niš, and Novi Sad, linking to the international borders of Croatia, Hungary, Bulgaria, and North Macedonia, where it interconnects with all major carriers.
The transaction is expected to complete subject to customary closing conditions, including certain conditions precedent as well as regulatory approvals.
