Deal Highlights

We are one of the largest independent owners, operators and developers of shared telecommunications infrastructure in the world, providing our customers, most of whom are leading MNOs, with critical infrastructure that facilitates mobile communications coverage and connectivity for 596 million people in emerging markets, across three regions and nine countries. We are the largest independent multinational emerging-market-only tower operator and one of the largest independent multinational tower operators globally, in each case by tower count. As of June 30, 2021, we operated 30,207 Towers across five countries in Africa, three countries in Latin America and one country in the Middle East. We are the largest tower operator in six of the nine markets in which we operate and we are the only independent tower operator of scale in five of these markets.

We have a well-defined organic and inorganic expansion strategy designed to grow in existing markets with our existing and new customers and, given the significant global emerging market opportunities in telecommunications infrastructure, enter carefully selected growth oriented markets with compelling underlying fundamentals. Historically, our business has been predominantly focused on Towers, however we are looking to complement this business with additional telecommunications infrastructure offerings for our customers such as fiber connectivity. Aligned to this inorganic growth strategy, in February 2020 we completed the first closing of 1,022 towers in Kuwait through a controlling investment pursuant to the Kuwait Acquisition for the acquisition of up to 1,620 towers in the aggregate, with a further 207 towers transferred in subsequent closings.

Also in February 2020 we completed the acquisition of 2,312 towers through a 100% investment pursuant to the CSS Acquisition with towers primarily in Brazil, as well as Peru and Colombia. More recently in 2021, we acquired 1,005 towers in Brazil pursuant to the Skysites Acquisition, 819 towers in Brazil and Colombia pursuant to the Centennial Acquisition and also signed definitive agreements for the acquisition of certain fiber assets from TIM Brasil pursuant to the TIM Fiber Acquisition where TIM Brasil will be the anchor tenant on the fiber network. Each of these acquisitions supports our inorganic growth strategy of expanding into additional regions that meet our investment criteria, which opens up new markets that we believe will provide future organic and inorganic growth opportunities.
