The stake was sold to a consortium comprising super funds Future Fund, Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation and Sunsuper.
Telstra chief executive Andrew Penn said the deal was a significant milestone for its T22 program and “an acceleration of Telstra’s strategy to unlock value” in the assets.
“Our T22 strategy is delivering on multiple fronts and I am proud of what we have achieved,” Penn said.
“Today’s announcement is a further endorsement of the strategy, as the establishment of our infrastructure assets as a separate business was designed to enable us to better realise the value of these assets, take advantage of potential monetisation opportunities and create additional value for shareholders and that is exactly what today’s announcement achieves.
