Greece : Telecommunications : Project Information - Acquisition of Unitel [Unitel (ID: 335347)]

| | TIRef.No | 641941 |
| | Bidding Type | International Competitive Bidding |
| | Financier | European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) |

| | Description | Original Notice
Project description and objectives: The project consists of an equity investment by the Bank of up to US$ 9 million (? 7.4 million) to finance the 100% acquisition of Unitel, the second largest mobile operator in Uzbekistan, alongside other members of the Equity Consortium comprised of Germanos SA and Mr. Panos Germanos made in December 2004.
In addition, the Bank signed a loan documentation in June 2005 with the Company in the amount of US$ 30 million (? 24.6 million) that will allow the Company to further develop and modernise its GSM network, by expanding its geographic coverage and product range.
Transition impact: The proposed transaction represents the first commercial long-term commitment by an international bank in the telecommunications sector in Uzbekistan. By participating in the project, the Bank aims to make mobile communication services more affordable and accessible to a greater part of the Uzbek population.
Unitel is planning to significantly expand and upgrade its network over the coming years and is committed to introduce new and innovative service packages, including pre-pay service, which is currently not available on the market. This will increase the affordability of mobile services and enable Unitel to capture the lower income segment of the population. By supporting the second player in the Uzbek mobile market, the Bank will contribute in creating a viable competitor to the market leader and will facilitate the growth in the penetration, which remains very low at 1.5%.
EBRD finance: The Bank's proposed financing will consist of up to US$ 9 million in equity and up to US$ 30 million in "d e b t" for the Bank's own account.
Total project cost: The acquisition of Unitel, which will be fully funded through equity, is expected to cost up to US$ 73.5 million (? 60.8 million). The subsequent capital expenditure plan, which will be partly financed by the Bank's US$ 30 million "d e b t" facility, is estimated at US$ 83.3 million (? 68.8 million) over the next three years. The remaining US$ 53.3 million (? 44.4 million) will be comprised of vendor financing and the internally generated cash.
