Key Transaction Highlights

Description

Key

Financials

Closing

Funding

  • Cellnex is acquiring 100% of the share capital of a company resulting from a carve-out process from Arqiva (1), consisting of c.8,300 telecom sites (approximately 7,400 held sites and the rights to market approximately 900 sites):
    • Well distributed, with c.9% of the sites located in urban areas and c.91% in rural and suburban areas
    • Balanced mix of towers located on the ground (c.80%) and rooftops (c.20%)
    • With an initial tenancy ratio of c.1.4x
  • Concessions to use street infrastructure in 14 London boroughs, in order to further build our positioning in Small Cells
  • Consideration of c.£2.0Bn payable upon completion, subject to certain price adjustments (2)
  • It is expected to generate an Adjusted EBITDA of c.£170Mn and RLFCF of c.£105Mn in 2020
  • Majority of contracts with clients linked to CPI/RPI, with an average duration of c.10 years
  • Subject to the following Conditions Precedent (among others):
    • i) UK merger control clearance
    • ii) No UK "public interest" intervention notice or, if issued, that the Transaction is cleared
    • iii) Release of the target from Competition Commission undertakings
    • iv) Completion of the reorganization and carve-out of the target business and assets
    • v) Obtaining all required consents from Arqiva's finance providers in connection with the Transaction (3)
    • vi) Execution of a key agreement with a key client on certain terms agreed with the seller
  • Closing expected in H2 2020
  • The acquisition is expected to be financed through a combination of a £2Bn syndicated loan facility (4) and available cash reserves. In addition, the Company has approved the launch of a fully-underwritten €2.5Bn Rights Issue, to support this acquisition and Cellnex's busy pipeline
  • The Company is actively evaluating market opportunities for an estimated aggregate size of approximately €7Bn, being such opportunities at different stages (while there are projects in an early stage, others are being negotiated on an exclusivity basis with advanced documentation in place or even already signed, such as the present transaction)
  1. Arqiva Services Limited (2) The price will be adjusted, among other things: (i) if a key agreement with a key client is terminated by the latter before November 15, 2019, (ii) if another key contract is not renewed between signing and completion of the Arqiva Acquisition on similar terms as the contract currently has in terms of value, and (iii) if certain remedies are given to the United Kingdom Competition Markets Authority in order to obtain clearance of the Arqiva Acquisition. In addition, there are other price adjustments in order to account for the cash, debt and working capital position of UK Tower Business immediately before the closing of the Arqiva Acquisition. (3) including the release of the target shares and assets from the security perimeter of Arqiva's current financing arrangements (4) Cellnex has entered into a commitment and mandate letter in respect of this proposed facilities agreement
