TORONTO, Nov. 25, 2022 /CNW/ - Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) today announced an investment of R$2.5 billion Brazilian reais (C$625 million) for a 9.5% stake in V.Tal, the largest neutral fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network provider in Brazil.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
