11:15 How to raise capital for emerging market tower transactions

This workshop will explain how to demonstrate the investibility of an emerging market telecom tower transaction.

We’ll explore the financing options available given the risk, size of investment, hold and potential returns of investment in emerging market towers. We’ll consider the relative cost, availability and appetite of debt, private equity, development fund and infrastructure fund finance.

And we’ll examine tower portfolios from an investor’s perspective in terms of country risk, regulation, competitive environment, the credit worthiness of anchor tenants and the key components of potential Tower Cash Flow (TCF) in terms of tenancy ratios, demand and capacity for additional tenancies, and operating costs.

<How to secure a terms sheet to demonstrate your ability to finance a winning bid<The due diligence investors will conduct on your business and on your prospective tower transaction<What you need to know about the documentation that underpins a towerco investment<What level of gearing will investors permit towercos to reach before they wait for proven results before investing again?<Thinking ahead: refinancing and exit strategies

2:00 How to maximise the value of passive infrastructure through the sale and leaseback of towers

This workshop will explain how to structure a tower transaction to meet your organisational objectives, and how to drive the strategy for the sale and leaseback of tower assets.

Operators able to bring their tower assets to market in a timely manner can secure first mover advantage and a premium valuation, while those left behind risk their towers becoming stranded assets on their balance sheets.

<Defining your objectives, including the balance of capital release and opex reduction<The information you need in your data room<How towercos conduct due diligence to evaluate tower portfolios<Identifying the best deal structure to meet your needs: operational leases versus sale and leaseback versus retaining a stake in a joint venture<What you need to know about the documentation that underpins a tower transaction<How to solicit and negotiate bids<Priorities after the deal has been agreed – what needs to be done during the ‘run period’ and who should do it

Thursday 3 October, 9:00 - 4:30Light lunch and refreshment breaks provided

9:00 The implications of 3G or 4G deployment for tower operators

Whilst mobile penetrations are reaching high levels in some African countries, all expectations are that there is still considerable growth remaining across the continent. The growth in penetration will come through providing voice and SMS services to currently unconnected people; something which 2G technologies can easily accommodate. As experienced all over the world though, there will also be significant growth in data use, particularly given the generally limited reach and capabilities of fixed infrastructure. 3G and 4G technologies will be needed to meet this demand. However, there can be very different drivers and outcomes when deploying 3G/ 4G compared to 2G. This workshop will seek to explore some key areas that may impact tower operators.

<What are the technical underpinnings of 3G and 4G (in particular), and why is this important to towercos?<How far will 3G/ 4G deployment reach, and how can towercos assist?<What capacity densities might be needed, and can/ will towercos offer more than macro sites?<Will there be any impact due to Single RAN solutions, and can towercos maintain their revenues?<Will active shared infrastructures be deployed, and what might the implications be for towercos?

Tower Industry Value Chain

Investment management advisors

TowerXchange serves the African tower community along two intersecting axes. On a horizontal axis we facilitate relationships between MNOs, towercos, investors and their advisers, aiding the structuring of deals and the transfer of assets. On a vertical axis, we examine the impact on, and opportunities for, the passive infrastructure supply chain, whether they sell to MNOs, towercos or through OEMs.

How TowerXchange ensure an audience of decision makers

Many of our clients complain that similar events have failed to deliver genuine decision makers; that won’t be the case at TowerXchange.

The TowerXchange Meetup is exclusively for Director, VP and C-level decision makers. If registrants are substituted, we will only accept replacement registrants of equal or greater seniority than those pre-approved.

Through our passive infrastructure focused journal publication and research, TowerXchange have cultivated relationships with 3,052 (at time of press) decision makers in African towers, 85% of whom are at Director, VP or C-level.

More importantly, we have personal relationships with the 200 or so individuals with genuine strategic and procurement decision making responsibilities. The TowerXchange Meetup has been requested and designed by the top decision makers in African towers, so you can be confident that the vast majority of those key contacts will be at the event.

28 guaranteed, qualified introductions‘How to’ advice from proven practitioners

Your trusted community host and commentator

Dedicated to passive infrastructureDecision makers only An aid to shortlisting / receiving RFPs

4 structured networking sessions assemble participants in groups of 8, brought together by a common regional or topic matter interest, and arranged so each group includes 2 MNOs, a towerco, investor, advisor, OEM or managed service provider, energy equipment and a static asset or RMS manufacturer

The main TowerXchange Meetup is supplemented by ‘how to’ workshops, tackling topics from how to structure a tower transaction to the implications of 3G and 4G, while the business leaders from MNOs, towercos and investors will debate hot topics in unmissable panel discussions

The TowerXchange Meetup draws on the credibility, original research and comprehensive relationships with African telecoms infrastructure decision makers who read our renowned journal

While other events increasingly focus on devices and VAS, TowerXchange maintains a laser-beam focus on passive infrastructure

Access to the TowerXchange Meetup is by invitation-only. Our 200 attendees are vetted for decision making authority (Director, VP and C-level only), and the ratio of buyers to sellers is carefully managed

Shootouts: we take groups of buyers on a tour of our expo to receive 5 minute demos from the leading vendors – a unique way to accelerate partner selection due diligence and shortlist RFP recipients

What makes TowerXchange Meetups uniqueJoin the TowerXchange community at our exclusive executive retreat in Johannesburg where our unique, networking-driven “unconference” will facilitate tower transaction deal-making, accelerate buyers’ partner selection due diligence, and provide passive infrastructure equipment and service providers with dozens of highly qualified new prospects.

Respecting confidentiality yet revealing what’s really going on

Enjoy networking with 200 VIPs

Tower transactions are highly confidential, so the TowerXchange Meetup is held under “Chatham House Rule” and our unique roundtables, private meeting space and informal receptions will enable you to discreetly discuss and advance strategic partnerships

After our first venue sold out, the TowerXchange Meetup has been moved to the Birchwood Hotel, South Africa’s largest independent hotel and conference centre. Conveniently located near the international airport, the venue is surrounded by numerous shopping attractions as well as 3 golf courses and a casino.

The must-attend event for tower industry decision makersAfricaCom and Mobile World Congress are great events for general networking, but they increasingly focus on devices and VAS, not towers and passive infrastructure.

Of the 200 passive infrastructure providers most active in Africa, only 15 exhibited at AfricaCom 2012 – that’s 5% of 292 listed exhibitors. Only 20 passive infrastructure providers exhibited at Mobile World Congress – that’s 1% of their 1,700 exhibitors.

The TowerXchange Meetup is 100% devoted to passive infrastructure. It’s 100% decision maker level: only Director, VP and C-level are permitted to attend. And our ratio of buyers to sellers is carefully controlled.

For our exhibitors, “all booths are created equal” at TowerXchange – you won’t be swallowed up into the shadow of the huge exhibits of deep-pocketed big brands – at TowerXchange everyone gets the same size turnkey booth, which means vendors are shortlisted to receive RFPs purely on the basis of their ability to meet buyer requirements. The TowerXchange Meetup has been designed to incur low logistics costs – there’s no need to ship anything to the event – all the materials you will need will fit in the hold of the plane you fly in on.
