History

Libertel was founded in September 1995 to compete with KPN.[3] Libertel was the second company in the Netherlands to get a license for offering GSM services (after PTT Telecom).[4][5]

The corporate structure started with a holding partnership named CV Gemeenschapplijk Bezit Libertel containing three wholly owned subsidiaries: Libertel Groep BV (the holding company), Libertel BV (the cellular network operator), and Liberfone BV (the service provider).[4][6]

The six original shareholders were ING, Vodafone, Vendex, Liof, Internatio-Müller, and Macintosh Retail Group.[7][3][5] In early 1998, Vendex and Liof both sold their shares for 120 million guilders. Internatio-Müller and Macintosh each sold their shares for 48 million guilders.[7] By the end of 1998, ING lowered its share from 52% to 30%, leaving Vodafone with 70%.[7][8]

Vodafone acquisition

In June 1999, Libertel went public on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange as Libertel NV (ticker symbol: LTEL).[9][10] Following the IPO, ING retained 5% (down from 30%) while Vodafone's share of 70% remained unchanged. In 2000, Vodafone changed the brand name for Libertel to "Libertel-Vodafone".[5]

In 2002, Libertel-Vodafone was rebranded to "Vodafone" and saw major branding changes by the Vodafone Group[3][5]. Other Vodafone subsidiaries also went through a similar transition, aiming to establish the first global mobile telecommunications company with a familiar 'look and feel' throughout the world.

Vodafone Group performed a buyout in 2003 of the shares in Vodafone Libertel N.V. that it did not not already own. At this time, Libertel was delisted from the Euronext Amsterdam stock market.[11][12][13] in favour of Vodafone Libertel BV Dutch subsidiary Vodafone Group's pre-existing Dutch.

On September 30, 2007, Vodafone Libertel changed its type of business entity type from NV to BV, henceforth trading as Vodafone Libertel BV.[14][15]

In 2011, the Macintosh Retail Group sold BelCompany and Telefoonkopen.nl to Vodafone Netherlands for 120 million euro.[16][17][18] By 2016, Vodafone had either closed or rebranded the BelCompany stores.[19][20]

On April 3, 2012, Vodafone Libertel acquired Telespectrum Telecommunicatie B.V.[21][22][23][18]

On October 1, 2015, Vodafone Libertel acquired mITE Systems B.V.[24][18]

Ziggo merger

A merger was announced on 16 February 2016 with Ziggo. The European Commission approved the merger in August 2016, on the condition that Vodafone splits off its fixed-line internet business.[25] The new parent company for both Ziggo and Vodafone, called VodafoneZiggo, with a 50/50 joint ownership by Liberty Global and Vodafone, was created on 31 December 2016.[26][27][28]
