Each “Round table” is a 80-minute structured networking session assembling participants in groups of
8-10, brought together by a common regional or topic matter interest, and arranged so each group ideally,
includes 1-2 MNOs,  1-2 towercos, an investor, advisor, OEM or managed service provider, energy equipment
and a static asset or RMS manufacturer.

11:15 How to raise capital for emerging market
tower transactions
This workshop will explain how to demonstrate the
investibility of an emerging market telecom tower
transaction.
We’ll explore the financing options available given the
risk, size of investment, hold and potential returns of
investment in emerging market towers. We’ll consider
the relative cost, availability and appetite of debt, private
equity, development fund and infrastructure fund finance.
And we’ll examine tower portfolios from an investor’s
perspective in terms of country risk, regulation,
competitive environment, the credit worthiness of anchor
tenants and the key components of potential Tower Cash
Flow (TCF) in terms of tenancy ratios, demand and capacity
for additional tenancies, and operating costs.
How to secure a terms sheet to demonstrate your ability
to finance a winning bid
The due diligence investors will conduct on your
business and on your prospective tower transaction
What you need to know about the documentation that
underpins a towerco investment
What level of gearing will investors permit towercos to
reach before they wait for proven results before
investing again?
Thinking ahead: refinancing and exit strategies
2:00 How to maximise the value of passive
infrastructure through the sale and leaseback
of towers
This workshop will explain how to structure a tower
transaction to meet your organisational objectives, and
how to drive the strategy for the sale and leaseback of
tower assets.
Operators able to bring their tower assets to market in
a timely manner can secure first mover advantage and
a premium valuation, while those left behind risk their
towers becoming stranded assets on their balance sheets.
Defining your objectives, including the balance of
capital release and opex reduction
The information you need in your data room
How towercos conduct due diligence to evaluate tower
portfolios
Identifying the best deal structure to meet your needs:
operational leases versus sale and leaseback versus
retaining a stake in a joint venture
What you need to know about the documentation that
underpins a tower transaction
How to solicit and negotiate bids
Priorities after the deal has been agreed – what needs to
be done during the ‘run period’ and who should do it
Thursday 3 October, 9:00 - 4:30
Light lunch and refreshment breaks provided
9:00 The implications of 3G or 4G deployment for
tower operators
Whilst mobile penetrations are reaching high levels in
some African countries, all expectations are that there is
still considerable growth remaining across the continent.
The growth in penetration will come through providing
voice and SMS services to currently unconnected people;
something which 2G technologies can easily accommodate.
As experienced all over the world though, there will
also be significant growth in data use, particularly given
the generally limited reach and capabilities of fixed
infrastructure. 3G and 4G technologies will be needed to
meet this demand. However, there can be very different
drivers and outcomes when deploying 3G/ 4G compared to
2G. This workshop will seek to explore some key areas that
may impact tower operators.
What are the technical underpinnings of 3G and 4G
(in particular), and why is this important to towercos?
How far will 3G/ 4G deployment reach, and how can
towercos assist?
What capacity densities might be needed, and can/
will towercos offer more than macro sites?
Will there be any impact due to Single RAN solutions,
and can towercos maintain their revenues?
Will active shared infrastructures be deployed, and
what might the implications be for towercos?

Tower Industry Value Chain
Investment management advisors
TowerXchange serves the African tower community
along two intersecting axes. On a horizontal axis we
facilitate relationships between MNOs, towercos,
investors and their advisers, aiding the structuring
of deals and the transfer of assets. On a vertical axis,
we examine the impact on, and opportunities for, the
passive infrastructure supply chain, whether they
sell to MNOs, towercos or through OEMs.
How TowerXchange ensure an audience
of decision makers
Many of our clients complain that similar events have
failed to deliver genuine decision makers; that won’t be
the case at TowerXchange.
The TowerXchange Meetup is exclusively for Director, VP
and C-level decision makers. If registrants are substituted,
we will only accept replacement registrants of equal or
greater seniority than those pre-approved.
Through our passive infrastructure focused journal
publication and research, TowerXchange have cultivated
relationships with 3,052 (at time of press) decision
makers in African towers, 85% of whom are at Director,
VP or C-level.
More importantly, we have personal relationships with
the 200 or so individuals with genuine strategic and
procurement decision making responsibilities. The
TowerXchange Meetup has been requested and designed
by the top decision makers in African towers, so you can
be confident that the vast majority of those key contacts
will be at the event.

28 guaranteed, qualified introductions‘How to’ advice from proven
practitioners
Your trusted community host and
commentator
Dedicated to passive infrastructureDecision makers only An aid to shortlisting / receiving RFPs
4 structured networking sessions assemble participants
in groups of 8, brought together by a common regional
or topic matter interest, and arranged so each group
includes 2 MNOs, a towerco, investor, advisor, OEM or
managed service provider, energy equipment and a static
asset or RMS manufacturer
The main TowerXchange Meetup is supplemented by ‘how
to’ workshops, tackling topics from how to structure a
tower transaction to the implications of 3G and 4G, while
the business leaders from MNOs, towercos and investors
will debate hot topics in unmissable panel discussions
The TowerXchange Meetup draws on the credibility,
original research and comprehensive relationships with
African telecoms infrastructure decision makers who
read our renowned journal
While other events increasingly focus on devices and VAS,
TowerXchange maintains a laser-beam focus on passive
infrastructure
Access to the TowerXchange Meetup is by invitation-
only. Our 200 attendees are vetted for decision making
authority (Director, VP and C-level only), and the ratio of
buyers to sellers is carefully managed
Shootouts: we take groups of buyers on a tour of our expo
to receive 5 minute demos from the leading vendors – a
unique way to accelerate partner selection due diligence
and shortlist RFP recipients
What makes TowerXchange Meetups unique
Join the TowerXchange community at our exclusive executive retreat in Johannesburg where our unique, networking-driven “unconference” will facilitate tower
transaction deal-making, accelerate buyers’ partner selection due diligence, and provide passive infrastructure equipment and service providers with dozens of
highly qualified new prospects.

Respecting confidentiality yet revealing
what’s really going on
Enjoy networking with 200 VIPs
Tower transactions are highly confidential, so the
TowerXchange Meetup is held under “Chatham House
Rule” and our unique roundtables, private meeting space
and informal receptions will enable you to discreetly
discuss and advance strategic partnerships
After our first venue sold out, the TowerXchange Meetup
has been moved to the Birchwood Hotel, South Africa’s
largest independent hotel and conference centre.
Conveniently located near the international airport, the
venue is surrounded by numerous shopping attractions
as well as 3 golf courses and a casino.
The must-attend event for tower industry
decision makers
AfricaCom and Mobile World Congress are great events for general networking, but they increasingly
focus on devices and VAS, not towers and passive infrastructure.
Of the 200 passive infrastructure providers most active in Africa, only 15 exhibited at AfricaCom 2012
– that’s 5% of 292 listed exhibitors. Only 20 passive infrastructure providers exhibited at Mobile World
Congress – that’s 1% of their 1,700 exhibitors.
The TowerXchange Meetup is 100% devoted to passive infrastructure. It’s 100% decision maker level:
only Director, VP and C-level are permitted to attend. And our ratio of buyers to sellers is carefully
controlled.

For our exhibitors, “all
booths are created equal”
at TowerXchange – you
won’t be swallowed up into
the shadow of the huge
exhibits of deep-pocketed big
brands – at TowerXchange
everyone gets the same size
turnkey booth, which means
vendors are shortlisted to
receive RFPs purely on the
basis of their ability to meet
buyer requirements. The
TowerXchange Meetup has
been designed to incur low
logistics costs – there’s no
need to ship anything to the
event – all the materials you
will need will fit in the hold of
the plane you fly in on.

  • 5. Optional post-Meetup workshops www.towerxchange.com | TowerXchange Meetup | 5| TowerXchange Meetup | www.towerxchange.com4 11:15 How to raise capital for emerging market tower transactions This workshop will explain how to demonstrate the investibility of an emerging market telecom tower transaction. We’ll explore the financing options available given the risk, size of investment, hold and potential returns of investment in emerging market towers. We’ll consider the relative cost, availability and appetite of debt, private equity, development fund and infrastructure fund finance. And we’ll examine tower portfolios from an investor’s perspective in terms of country risk, regulation, competitive environment, the credit worthiness of anchor tenants and the key components of potential Tower Cash Flow (TCF) in terms of tenancy ratios, demand and capacity for additional tenancies, and operating costs. How to secure a terms sheet to demonstrate your ability to finance a winning bid The due diligence investors will conduct on your business and on your prospective tower transaction What you need to know about the documentation that underpins a towerco investment What level of gearing will investors permit towercos to reach before they wait for proven results before investing again? Thinking ahead: refinancing and exit strategies 2:00 How to maximise the value of passive infrastructure through the sale and leaseback of towers This workshop will explain how to structure a tower transaction to meet your organisational objectives, and how to drive the strategy for the sale and leaseback of tower assets. Operators able to bring their tower assets to market in a timely manner can secure first mover advantage and a premium valuation, while those left behind risk their towers becoming stranded assets on their balance sheets. Defining your objectives, including the balance of capital release and opex reduction The information you need in your data room How towercos conduct due diligence to evaluate tower portfolios Identifying the best deal structure to meet your needs: operational leases versus sale and leaseback versus retaining a stake in a joint venture What you need to know about the documentation that underpins a tower transaction How to solicit and negotiate bids Priorities after the deal has been agreed – what needs to be done during the ‘run period’ and who should do it Thursday 3 October, 9:00 - 4:30 Light lunch and refreshment breaks provided 9:00 The implications of 3G or 4G deployment for tower operators Whilst mobile penetrations are reaching high levels in some African countries, all expectations are that there is still considerable growth remaining across the continent. The growth in penetration will come through providing voice and SMS services to currently unconnected people; something which 2G technologies can easily accommodate. As experienced all over the world though, there will also be significant growth in data use, particularly given the generally limited reach and capabilities of fixed infrastructure. 3G and 4G technologies will be needed to meet this demand. However, there can be very different drivers and outcomes when deploying 3G/ 4G compared to 2G. This workshop will seek to explore some key areas that may impact tower operators. What are the technical underpinnings of 3G and 4G (in particular), and why is this important to towercos? How far will 3G/ 4G deployment reach, and how can towercos assist? What capacity densities might be needed, and can/ will towercos offer more than macro sites? Will there be any impact due to Single RAN solutions, and can towercos maintain their revenues? Will active shared infrastructures be deployed, and what might the implications be for towercos? About your workshop host Daniel Lee is the “rainmaker” of African towers, having worked on eight different tower transactions, advising mobile operators such as MTN, Millicom and Cell C. Daniel has also worked closely with a number of independent towercos, including assisting them in raising capital to finance transactions. Daniel recently left Citi to form Intrepid Advisory Partners – an independent advisory firm focused on the tower industry. Your workshop hosts Andrew Doyle, Managing Director, Technology Communications Practice, Mott MacDonald and Dave Tanner, Director of Technology Strategy and Design, Mott MacDonald 4:30 Close of workshop day

On a horizontal axis we facilitate relationships between MNOs, towercos, investors and their advisers, aiding the structuring of deals and the transfer of assets. On a vertical axis, we examine the impact on, and opportunities for, the passive infrastructure supply chain, whether they sell to MNOs, towercos or through OEMs. How TowerXchange ensure an audience of decision makers Many of our clients complain that similar events have failed to deliver genuine decision makers; that won’t be the case at TowerXchange. The TowerXchange Meetup is exclusively for Director, VP and C-level decision makers. If registrants are substituted, we will only accept replacement registrants of equal or greater seniority than those pre-approved. Through our passive infrastructure focused journal publication and research, TowerXchange have cultivated relationships with 3,052 (at time of press) decision makers in African towers, 85% of whom are at Director, VP or C-level. More importantly, we have personal relationships with the 200 or so individuals with genuine strategic and procurement decision making responsibilities. The TowerXchange Meetup has been requested and designed by the top decision makers in African towers, so you can be confident that the vast majority of those key contacts will be at the event.

  • 10. 28 guaranteed, qualified introductions‘How to’ advice from proven practitioners Your trusted community host and commentator Dedicated to passive infrastructureDecision makers only An aid to shortlisting / receiving RFPs 4 structured networking sessions assemble participants in groups of 8, brought together by a common regional or topic matter interest, and arranged so each group includes 2 MNOs, a towerco, investor, advisor, OEM or managed service provider, energy equipment and a static asset or RMS manufacturer The main TowerXchange Meetup is supplemented by ‘how to’ workshops, tackling topics from how to structure a tower transaction to the implications of 3G and 4G, while the business leaders from MNOs, towercos and investors will debate hot topics in unmissable panel discussions The TowerXchange Meetup draws on the credibility, original research and comprehensive relationships with African telecoms infrastructure decision makers who read our renowned journal While other events increasingly focus on devices and VAS, TowerXchange maintains a laser-beam focus on passive infrastructure Access to the TowerXchange Meetup is by invitation- only. Our 200 attendees are vetted for decision making authority (Director, VP and C-level only), and the ratio of buyers to sellers is carefully managed Shootouts: we take groups of buyers on a tour of our expo to receive 5 minute demos from the leading vendors – a unique way to accelerate partner selection due diligence and shortlist RFP recipients What makes TowerXchange Meetups unique Join the TowerXchange community at our exclusive executive retreat in Johannesburg where our unique, networking-driven “unconference” will facilitate tower transaction deal-making, accelerate buyers’ partner selection due diligence, and provide passive infrastructure equipment and service providers with dozens of highly qualified new prospects. | TowerXchange Meetup | www.towerxchange.com10 www.towerxchange.com | TowerXchange Meetup | 7
  • 11. Respecting confidentiality yet revealing what’s really going on Enjoy networking with 200 VIPs Tower transactions are highly confidential, so the TowerXchange Meetup is held under “Chatham House Rule” and our unique roundtables, private meeting space and informal receptions will enable you to discreetly discuss and advance strategic partnerships After our first venue sold out, the TowerXchange Meetup has been moved to the Birchwood Hotel, South Africa’s largest independent hotel and conference centre. Conveniently located near the international airport, the venue is surrounded by numerous shopping attractions as well as 3 golf courses and a casino. The must-attend event for tower industry decision makers AfricaCom and Mobile World Congress are great events for general networking, but they increasingly focus on devices and VAS, not towers and passive infrastructure. Of the 200 passive infrastructure providers most active in Africa, only 15 exhibited at AfricaCom 2012 – that’s 5% of 292 listed exhibitors. Only 20 passive infrastructure providers exhibited at Mobile World Congress – that’s 1% of their 1,700 exhibitors. The TowerXchange Meetup is 100% devoted to passive infrastructure.
