Eltel signs a renewal of a fibre build and maintenance agreement with TDC Group in Denmark for three years at a value of approximately EUR 50 million


Eltel, as a partner in a joint venture with two other companies, has signed a
new three-year agreement to build and maintain the fibre network of TDC Group in
Denmark. The estimated value of Eltel’s share of the agreement is approximately
EUR 50 million.
In October 2011 Eltel announced an outsourcing agreement for the years 2012-2016
to build, connect lines to and maintain TDC’s fibre network. The agreement was
signed by a joint venture called Fiber & Anlaeg I/S together with Munck
Forsyningsledninger A/S and Petri & Haugsted A/S, in which Eltel was the main
partner.

The renewed and signed agreement, which will span from July 2016 to June 2019,
will comprise build, connection and maintenance services for TDC’s corporate and
private household customers in Denmark. Eltel’s role is planning, project
management, logistics, documentation and reporting.

Optic fibre deployment is one of the main trends in fixed communication in order
to increase bandwidth in the network by replacing traditional copper with the
next generation communication networks. It is estimated that 30 million
households in the EU and Norway are to be connected to the internet through
fibre connections by 2019. Eltel is the leading service provider in fibre
deployment in the Nordic markets, and has the ambition to further grow this
position across all its existing markets. The contract with TDC Group in Denmark
is another proof of this successful concept.

Peter Uddfors, President - Eltel Fixed Communication comments:
“Eltel’s specialised optic fibre deployment and rollout best practices have
shown very positive results in terms of customer satisfaction, efficiency,
quality and profitability. The new agreement that our joint venture has been
awarded, proves that together with our partners we have succeeded in the
previous outsourcing agreement and delivered results according to TDC’s
expectations. We are very happy that this cooperation and relationship now has
been confirmed with a new long term agreement”.

Carsten Bryder, CTO - TDC Group comments:
“TDC Group is pleased to prolong the partnership with Eltel through the contract
with Fiber & Anlæg I/S with the specific purpose of increasing customer
satisfaction significantly in the fiber process over the next three years.
Improved CSAT (Customer SATisfaction) is the key metric for TDC in our newly
launched 2018 strategy, and we are convinced that this prolongation will
contribute to us reaching our high ambitions”.
