魁北克公共养老基金管理机构将收购加拿大电信巨头BCE公司旗下无线铁塔49.9%的股份，这笔交易将帮助该电信公司减轻债务负担。
Quebec’s public pension manager will buy a 49.9% interest in wireless towers owned by BCE Inc., a deal that will help the telecommunications firm pare its debt.
根据周二发布的声明，魁北克存托投资集团将支付24.5亿加元（约17亿美元）收购该股份。去年，魁北克存托投资集团曾与加拿大三大无线运营商之一的Telus公司达成类似交易。
Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec will pay C$2.45 billion ($1.7 billion) for the stake, according to a statement Tuesday. La Caisse did a similar deal last year with Telus Corp., another of Canada’s three large wireless companies.
BCE公司于2025年削减了股息，以腾出现金用于偿还债务，并将资本部署到人工智能数据中心等领域，因为加拿大无线行业的增长已放缓至极低水平。
BCE reduced its dividend in 2025 to free up cash for trimming debt and deploying capital to areas such as artificial intelligence data centers, as growth in the Canadian wireless sector has slowed to a very slow pace.
新成立的无线基础设施公司名为TowerCo，拥有超过5000个站点，将成为加拿大最大的专业铁塔公司。
The new wireless infrastructure company, called TowerCo, will be Canada’s largest dedicated tower company with more than 5,000 sites.
BCE首席执行官Mirko Bibic在声明中表示：“我们的做法是强化资产负债表、投资增长并为股东提供总回报。这笔交易符合这一做法。”
“Our approach is to strengthen our balance sheet, invest in growth and deliver total returns to shareholders. This transaction is in keeping with that approach,” BCE Chief Executive Officer Mirko Bibic said in the statement.
