About Net1 International Holdings AS (“Net1 International”)

} Net1 International’s strategy for its emerging markets is to utilize the experience from the Scandinavian MBB operations on the 450MHz spectrum

} Primary strategy to provide 4G mobile broadband on the 450MHz frequency band to customers in suburban/rural areas where the internet access are speeds are sub-optimal or non-existent

} Net1 International believes there is significant value appreciation potential for the frequencies as there is only one 4G licence for the 450MHz in each country- Net1 Intern’l investments have perpetual licences in both countries

} The build-out of the network will be done in cooperation with local partners.

} Net1 International’s strategy focuses exclusively on data transmission on the 450MHz frequency band

} Low frequencies offer substantial benefits with respect to higher frequencies- Geographical coverage per site

- Advantage on network capex and opex

- Advantage on penetration of buildings

} The technology is well suited for covering large rural areas as well as offering wireless broadband at low costs’.

Geographical reach of different frequencies (illustrative)} The transmission of mobile data over low frequencies offer significant

capex and cost advantages relative to higher frequencies

} This makes 450 MHz well suited for wireless broadband offerings in rural

areas and in emerging markets

- Indonesia and Philippines have a significant number of islands

} To date, the focus for Net1 International has been to launch a LTE mobile

broadband network in rural areas that are characterised by a lack of fixed

line internet access

} The Company has achieved a successful proof of concept following the soft

launch

- The subscription base consists of multiple users in largely rural areas and/or less

urbanised areas that are characterised by low fixed-line penetration

- Multiple users sharing a single SIM (up to 5-10 users per SIM)

Extreme:

- Sea

- Dessert-

- Mountains

Net1 Intern’l area:

- Metropolitan areas

- Rural areas

- 120km offshore

Business Developments} Indonesia

• Indonesia – 580 LTE 450Mhz sites installed to date; and expected to pass 600 sites by year-end.

• Site installation has focussed on the key islands of Java and Sumatra, with more than two thirds of the network deployed there.

• The mobile broadband product was launched into distribution channels in H1 2018, and has already received traction with >25,000 very

high ARPU subscribers signed up within a matter of months.

• Recent tower disposals have led to business being debt-free except for around $3m of debt (at H1 2018).

} Philippines

• Over 50 LTE sites on 450Mhz band (at H1 2018) providing a sound coverage starting point, with coverage focussed around metro areas.

• Further site roll-out planned via deployment of 3.5Mhz frequency, supplementing the existing 450Mhz coverage.

• Lean cost base and fully funded for foreseeable future, with a cash balance on hand to fund the next 18 months of cash consumption.
