Capital boost approved: Shareholders vote in favor of expanding capital to €6 million
MIX S.r.l., Italy's main Internet exchange point and one of the most significant in Europe, has announced a significant milestone in its 25-year history. On April 11, 2025, the company's Shareholders' Meeting unanimously approved a capital increase, raising the capital from €2.5 million to an undisclosed higher amount.
This capital increase forms part of a consistent and sustainable growth context for MIX S.r.l., confirming the company's maturity not only in infrastructure but also in economic and financial terms. The increase in share capital is achieved through the conversion of a portion of the available reserves of the company.
In addition to the capital increase, MIX S.r.l. has announced its focus on investment and strategic partnerships. Assietta Private Equity, through its latest fund Assietta Private Equity IV, has acquired a 70% stake in MIX S.r.l., signifying a significant strategic partnership and capital injection.
MIX has also established a Temporary Advisory Board focused on developing a next-generation technological infrastructure for its peering platform. The Board, led by MIX's CTO Mauro Roberto Magrassi and including senior network experts from companies like Eolo, Aruba, and MyNet, will coordinate closely with MIX’s Technical Management to ensure strategic alignment and effective execution.
The strategic goals of these moves are to strengthen MIX's technological leadership in the Italian internet peering market, leverage private equity investment for expansion and innovation, and maintain transparency with customers and the market by regularly updating on progress and strategic decisions.
One of the key investments planned by MIX is the imminent opening of the new DC3, designed to support traffic growth and the evolution of digital services. The new DC3 is an indication of MIX's commitment to accommodating growing digital services and its investment in new infrastructures.
MIX also strengthens its role as a strategic hub at the national and European levels, opening up to collaborations with strategic partners. Recent collaborations include the Cross-IX service with AMS-IX and the Thessaloniki exchange point with Lancom.
Alessandro Talotta, Executive President & Chairman of MIX, declared that the capital increase is a fundamental step to support growth and consolidate MIX's position in the European Internet exchange landscape. The company continues to guarantee excellent performance and promote innovation in the field of telecommunications.
The capital increase, a result of the company's reserves conversion, signifies a strengthened financial standing for MIX S.r.l., supporting their consistent and sustainable growth in business and economic terms. Furthermore, the significant strategic partnership with Assietta Private Equity, who have acquired a 70% stake, infuses new capital and investments into the company's endeavors, particularly in the area of technological advancements.
