The forward-looking statements in this presentation are based upon information available to us as of the date of this presentation, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements. You should read this presentation and the documents that we reference in this presentation with the understanding that our actual future results, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

Use of Non-IFRS financial measures

Certain parts of this presentation contain non-IFRS financial measures, including but not limited to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Recurring Levered Free Cash Flow ("RLFCF"). The non-IFRS financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS. Our management uses non-IFRS financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and RLFCF, to monitor the underlying performance of the business and the operations. Non-IFRS measures are also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies comparable to us, many of which present non-IFRS measures when reporting their results. Non-IFRS financial measures are used by different companies for differing purposes and are often calculated in ways that reflect the circumstances of those companies. You should exercise caution in comparing non-IFRS financial measures as reported by us to non-IFRS financial measures as reported by other companies. These metrics have limitations as analytical tools, you should not consider such financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, our results of operations as determined in accordance with IFRS. These metrics are not measures of performance under IFRS and you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA Margin as an alternative to profit/(loss) for the period, or RLFCF as an alternative to cash from operations, or other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS financial measures described in this presentation are unaudited and have not been prepared in accordance with IFRS or any other generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the presentation of these measures is not intended to and does not comply with the reporting requirements of any regulatory authority and will not be subject to review by a regulatory authority; compliance with such requirements may require us to make changes to the presentation of this information. Definitions and reconciliations of these non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures are provided in the Appendix and Glossary as applicable.

The presentation of LTM Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be consistent with our "as if" estimates. These "as if" estimates of potential operating results were not prepared in accordance with IFRS or the pro forma rules of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Furthermore, while LTM Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA gives effect to management's estimate of a full year of Adjusted EBITDA in respect of acquisitions completed in the applicable period, LTM Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA does not give effect to any Adjusted EBITDA in respect of such acquisitions for any period prior to such applicable period. As a result, the LTM Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA across different periods may not necessarily be comparable.

This presentation also includes certain forward-lookingnon-IFRS financial measures. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of such forward-lookingnon-IFRS financial measures without an unreasonable effort, due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability, of the applicable costs and expenses that may be incurred in the future, including share-based payment expense, finance costs, insurance claims, net movement in working capital, other non-operating expenses, and impairment of inventory. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.

Rounding

Certain numbers, sums, and percentages in this presentation may be impacted by rounding.

Use of Market and Industry Data

We obtained the industry, market and competitive position data and forecasts in this presentation from our own internal estimates and research as well as from publicly available information, industry and general publications and research conducted by third parties, including Analysys Mason Limited. Such market data is derived from publicly available information released by independent industry analysts and other third-party sources, as well as data from internal research, and are based on assumptions made by us upon reviewing such data, and our experience in, and knowledge of, such industry and markets, which we believe to be reasonable. Analysys Mason's third party data is also prepared on the basis of information provided and views expressed by mobile operators, tower operators and other parties (including certain views expressed and information provided or published by individual operators, service providers, regulatory bodies, industry analysts and other third party sources of data). Although Analysys Mason has obtained such information from sources it believes to be reliable, neither we nor Analysys Mason have verified such information. This information involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates, as there is no assurance that any of them will be reached. Forecasts and other forward-looking information obtained from these sources and from our and Analysys Mason's estimates are subject to the same qualifications and uncertainties as the other forward-looking statements in this presentation and as described under "Forward-Looking Information." These forecasts and other forward-looking information, are subject to uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors which could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forecasts or estimates from independent third parties (including Analysys Mason) and us.
