EZEE FIBER ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF TACHUS FIBER INTERNET

The combined company expects to have more than 600,000 fiber passings across Houston, New Mexico, and Washington State by year-end.

HOUSTON, July 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ezee Fiber, a Houston-based fiber internet provider wholly owned by I Squared Capital, today announced an agreement to acquire Tachus Fiber Internet, a leading fiber optic ISP headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas from Crosstimbers Capital Group. This acquisition will significantly expand Ezee Fiber's service footprint across the northern communities of Greater Houston, reinforcing its position as one of the region's premier fiber internet providers.

Tachus operates a 100% underground fiber network in the Houston metro area and serves more than 60,000 residential and business subscribers.

"Bringing Ezee Fiber and Tachus together unlocks tremendous value for both companies, our customers, and the communities we proudly serve," said Matt Marino, Chief Executive Officer of Ezee Fiber. "Tachus has established itself as a leader through its exceptional fiber internet product, outstanding customer service, and unmatched reliability. Together, we're uniquely positioned to set an even higher standard of excellence in fiber internet. I am thrilled to personally welcome the talented Tachus team into the Ezee Fiber family and look forward to building an exciting future together."

Over the past 24 months, Ezee Fiber has announced a $200 million expansion in Houston; a $250 million expansion in New Mexico; a $400 million expansion in the state of Washington and its acquisition of Tachus.

Ezee Fiber is planning further expansions into additional markets across the United States in 2025.

"This investment reflects I Squared's focus on building scalable, high-impact platforms that address essential infrastructure needs," said Gautam Bhandari, Managing Partner and Global Chief Investment Officer at I Squared Capital. "The combination of Ezee Fiber and Tachus creates a formidable regional competitor with the scale and momentum to expand nationally and help meet the surging demand for fast, reliable connectivity."

Sidley Austin LLP acted as legal counsel, and TVG Consulting LLC acted as commercial advisor to I Squared Capital and Ezee Fiber in connection with this transaction.
