英国第四大宽带提供商TalkTalk正在加紧推进资产出售交易，以应对日益迫近的破产管理威胁1。公司将消费业务以约1亿英镑的价格出售予Opus Broadband，同时将批发业务PXC转让给Octopus Investments1。通过这两笔交易，TalkTalk希望为约900个工作岗位提供保护1。
该公司长期受困于沉重债务，若此次交易顺利完成，所有者将需要冲销约10亿英镑的债务1。TalkTalk的客户规模已大幅萎缩，从2019年的400万下降至约150万1。其中约25万名TalkTalk客户被列为易受伤害群体1。据悉，PXC的批发业务与英国国防部存在合作关系，但相关合作系通过第三方经销商进行1。
Britain's fourth-largest broadband provider TalkTalk is advancing final-stage negotiations to sell its main operating divisions as the company grapples with mounting debt and the threat of administration.1 The company plans to divest its consumer business to Opus Broadband for approximately £100 million and transfer its wholesale PXC operation to Octopus Investments, with the aim of preserving around 900 jobs.1 Should these transactions succeed, TalkTalk's owners will be required to write off approximately £1 billion in debt.1
The sales represent a significant restructuring for TalkTalk, which was founded in 2003 by Charles Dunstone as a subsidiary of Carphone Warehouse.1 The company's customer base has contracted sharply, declining from 4 million in 2019 to approximately 150,000 currently.1 Among TalkTalk's current subscribers, approximately 250,000 are classified as vulnerable customers.1 The PXC wholesale division maintains a partnership with the UK Ministry of Defence, though this engagement operates through third-party resellers.1
