(NASDAQ: VEON) (Euronext Amsterdam: VEON), a leading global provider of connectivity and internet services, announces today that it has reached agreement to sell its mobile network towers in <span class=\"xn-location\">Russia<\/span> to Service-Telecom for a total consideration of <span class=\"xn-money\">RUB70.65bn<\/span> (<span class=\"xn-money\">USD970million<\/span> equivalent). Service-Telecom is a well-known partner to PJSC VimpelCom, which operates in <span class=\"xn-location\">Russia<\/span> under the Beeline brand, and already provides the company with passive infrastructure across various regions in <span class=\"xn-location\">Russia<\/span>. <\/p>\n<p>The sale reflects VEON&#8217;s continued focus on active portfolio management and the pursuit of opportunities to realise the value of its infrastructure portfolio. With over 50,000 towers across nine dynamic markets, it is one of the industry&#8217;s largest.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>The transaction involves the sale of 100% of National Tower Company (&#8220;NTC&#8221;), a subsidiary of VEON, which operates a portfolio of approximately 15,400 mobile network towers\u00a0in <span class=\"xn-location\">Russia<\/span>. All of the active mobile network infrastructure currently operated by PJSC VimpelCom and the majority of the rooftop towers will remain with the company.<\/p>\n<p>Under the terms of the deal, PJSC VimpelCom and Service-Telecom have entered into a long-term master agreement regarding the provision of tower infrastructure services for an initial period of 8 years, and multiple extensions of 8 years at the discretion of PJSC VimpelCom. Both parties will additionally enter into a new build-to-suit program comprising of up to 5,000 sites by 2029. <\/p>\n<p>The master agreement provides a framework for a long-term strategic partnership with Service-Telecom to pursue investments in network roll-out and upgrade, and share the benefits from potential future infrastructure market consolidation in <span class=\"xn-location\">Russia<\/span>. The agreement also provides Beeline with strict service commitments and protections enabling Beeline to place an even greater focus on ongoing strategic initiatives and improve the quality of mobile services for its customers.<\/p>\n<p>The purchase price for the transaction of <span class=\"xn-money\">RUB70.65bn<\/span> (<span class=\"xn-money\">USD970m<\/span> equivalent) corresponds to an EV\/EBITDA multiple of 11.7x 2021 based on projected EBITDA of NTC post-completion.<\/p>\n<p>The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing is expected to take place in the fourth quarter of 2021. <\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the transaction, <span class=\"xn-person\">Kaan Terzioglu<\/span>, VEON&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer, said: &#8220;Today&#8217;s transaction is a major step forward in realising the value of VEON&#8217;s infrastructure portfolio for our shareholders. By entering into a long-term partnership with a strong, experienced counterparty in <span class=\"xn-location\">Russia<\/span>, Beeline will enjoy the operational and financial flexibility to serve its customers with market-leading services through one of the nation&#8217;s largest and most technologically-advanced mobile networks. Moreover, this transaction allows to release the capital to deleverage VEON&#8217;s balance sheet and invest in critical aspects of active network and digital opportunities while achieving more financial flexibility.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Service-Telecom CEO <span class=\"xn-person\">Nikolay Berdin<\/span> noted: &#8220;The agreement reached with VEON is a key\u00a0achievement for Service-Telecom on its way to becoming a leading telecommunication infrastructure operator in <span class=\"xn-location\">Russia<\/span>.
