The French insurer Axa Investment Managers and the Swiss Swiss Life Asset Management are looking for a third partner to accompany them in the acquisition of Lyntia Networks and take a stake of up to 33% in the trunk fiber optic wholesale operator, according to market sources consulted by EXPANSION.

Axa and Swiss Life, through a consortium set up ad hoc for the transaction, were the winners in May in the competitive process organized by the French venture capital fund Antin Infrastructure Partners to divest from the company.
