The Silver Award is presented to organisations that demonstrate outstanding support for the Armed Forces community and actively champion the value that veterans, reservists and military families bring to the workplace. Arqiva has a longstanding commitment to supporting those who serve or have served. The business signed the Armed Forces Covenant and has continued to strengthen its support for the Armed Forces community through recruitment initiatives, career transition opportunities and the establishment of a dedicated Veterans' Network for colleagues across the organisation. The company also actively promotes opportunities for service leavers across a broad range of technical, operational and corporate roles, recognising the significant contribution they can make to the business. Keith Frost, Director of Engineering and Senior Sponsor of Arqiva's Veterans' Network, said: We are delighted to receive the Armed Forces Covenant Silver Award. This recognition reflects the commitment of colleagues across Arqiva who have worked hard to create an environment where veterans, reservists and military families can thrive. Forces leavers bring a wealth of highly transferable skills, from leadership, teamwork and problem-solving to resilience, adaptability and a strong sense of purpose. These qualities make a real difference to our business and help us deliver the critical services that keep the UK connected. As a business, we have long recognised the value that service personnel, reservists and military families bring to Arqiva, and we are proud to support members of the Armed Forces community as they build rewarding civilian careers and continue contributing their expertise in new ways. The award marks an important milestone in Arqiva's ongoing commitment to the Armed Forces community and reflects the company's ambition to ensure that veterans and reservists are supported throughout their careers. Through its Veterans' Network, Arqiva provides a community where colleagues can share experiences, access support and help those transitioning from military to civilian life. Arqiva believes the skills developed through military service are particularly valuable in a business responsible for operating critical national communications infrastructure, where teamwork, accountability, technical expertise and resilience are essential to keeping people connected across the UK. Notes to Editors Arqiva has been awarded the Silver Award under the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS), part of the Armed Forces Covenant programme. Arqiva signed the Armed Forces Covenant and supports veterans, reservists and military families through a range of initiatives including its Veterans' Network. 05/01/2027.

Polus Capital Management has been revealed as the buyer of Macquarie's 26.54% stake in UK communications infrastructure company Arqiva. The investment management firm, which manages approximately $14 billion in assets, purchased the stake last year, though the buyer's identity was only disclosed in Arqiva's half-year results today. Polus described Arqiva as a high-performing business managing critical UK digital infrastructure. Arqiva reported a solid first-half performance, with its Media and Broadcast division securing multi-year contract extensions with major DTT customers through 2030. CEO Shuja Khan said the company remains confident in its full-year outlook, supported by a strong order book and recent refinancing activity. The addition of Polus as a shareholder positions Arqiva to continue investing in infrastructure development.

Macquarie has sold its 26.5% stake in UK media services provider Arqiva for £16.5m ($21.8m) to an undisclosed buyer. The sale led to a drop in the share price of Arqiva's largest shareholder, Digital 9 Infrastructure, which holds a 51.8% stake and noted the sale price was below its valuation. Digital 9 previously acquired a 48% stake for C$585m ($417m) in 2022. The sale awaits regulatory approval.
