About Helios Towers ("HT")
-- Helios Towers is a leading independent telecommunications
infrastructure company in Africa, having established one of the
continent's most extensive tower portfolios with close to 7,000
towers across five countries. It builds, owns and operates telecom
passive infrastructure, providing services to mobile network
operators.

operator in each of Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC"),
and Congo Brazzaville. It is also a leading operator in Ghana with
a strong urban presence and established a presence in South Africa
in 2019.
-- Helios Towers pioneered the sale-leaseback model in Africa,
buying towers that were held by single operators and providing
services utilising the tower infrastructure to the seller and other
operators. This allows wireless operators to outsource non-core
tower-related activities, enabling them to focus their capital and
managerial resources on providing higher quality services more
cost-effectively.

Exchange in October 2019 (ticker: HTWS) and is a member of its FTSE
250 Index.
