06:54 AM EDT, 09/28/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The European Commission approved Société Générale's (GLE.PA) planned acquisition of a 50% stake in OXG Glasfaser Beteiligungs from Geodesia Holding. The regulator concluded that the deal, which mainly covers fiber-to-the-home access infrastructure, would not raise competition concerns, according to a Monday release. London-listed telecommunications giant Vodafone Group (VOD.L) announced the deal for the Germany-based fiber joint venture on Sept. 1.
