The discussions are preliminary, and there is no certainty that an offer will be made or an agreement reached.

• Gamma, listed on the London Stock Exchange, provides cloud communications, connectivity and related technology services to businesses across the United Kingdom and Europe.

• Waterland is examining a possible acquisition as the private equity firm looks to expand its presence in the communications and technology sectors.

• Any transaction would likely require detailed due diligence, regulatory review and approval from Gamma’s shareholders.

• The talks come as telecom and technology companies face pressure to invest in digital infrastructure while navigating slower economic growth and intense competition.

Gamma has not indicated that a formal offer has been submitted. Investors will be watching for further announcements, including whether Waterland proceeds with a firm proposal and at what valuation. Until then, the discussions remain exploratory and could end without a deal.
