Telecom company United Networks changes its name to ‘Hubify’

Australian telecommunications giant United Networks has been renamed to Hubify Ltd, after a shareholder vote that was held last week. The company that traded on the ASX under the ticker code UNL will now trade under HFY, effective Monday, 9th November 2020.

United Networks says the company has been given a new name as a part of its growth strategy in 2021 and also recognized its latest restructuring to be a more diversified business. The telco recently went on an acquisition spree and now comprises three pillars – telecommunications, Internet of Things and managed services.

It also bought C3 Innovations (a software company) in August 2020 and Broadland Solutions (a telecom company) in 2019.

Through this share placement, United Networks issued 79.4 million fully paid ordinary shares at 6 cents a piece and allowed a 10% discount on the last closing share price.
