On April 1, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Tuˇsmobil, and Tuˇsmobil is now wholly owned by Telemach Slovenia as part of the restricted group. See ‘‘Related Party Transactions—Acquisition Agreement relating to the Acquisition of Tuˇsmobil.’’ We financed the initial consideration for the acquisition of Tuˇsmobil with a draw down under our Revolving Credit Facility. To allow for such funding, we agreed with our lenders to increase the commitments under our Revolving Credit Facility to A135 million. Following the offering of the Additional Notes (as defined herein) and the application of proceeds therefrom, commitments above A100.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility Agreement will be cancelled. Financial performance Based on preliminary results from our unaudited management accounts and information currently available, we estimate that our revenue will be between A48 million to A50 million for the two months ended February 28, 2015 compared to A43.1 million for the two months ended February 28, 2014 for Slovenia Broadband and its consolidated subsidiaries. During the two months ended February 28, 2015, our revenue increased due to the growth of our business operations resulting from our organic growth, as well as the consolidation of our newly-acquired companies, including Grand Production, Broadband Montenegro and Orlando Kids and Bambino. We estimate that EBITDA for the two months ended February 28, 2015 will be between A21 million to A22 million compared to A20.4 million for the two months ended February 28, 2014 for Slovenia Broadband and its consolidated subsidiaries. Our EBITDA for the two months ended February 28, 2014 is not fully comparable with the figure for the same period in 2015, as it includes the impact of changes in our policy relating to the provision for bad debt estimates; on a comparable basis, EBITDA for this period in 2014 would have been lower by A1.6 million. Based on preliminary results from Tuˇsmobil’s unaudited management accounts and information currently available, we estimate that for the two months ended February 28, 2015, Tuˇsmobil’s net sales will be between A11.5 million to A12.1 million and its EBITDA will be between A1.7 million to A1.9 million compared to A11.9 million and A1.4 million, respectively, for the two months ended February 28, 2014. As of February 28, 2015, we had approximately 2.2 million RGUs compared to approximately 2.1 million RGUs as of December 31, 2014. The RGUs added over this period were a result of an increase in multi-play subscribers. We estimate that our blended cable ARPU for the two months ended February 28, 2015 will be between A17.7 to A18.7 compared to A17.9 for the year ended December 31, 2014, primarily driven by an increase in multi-play subscribers. In addition, as of February 28, 2015, Tuˇsmobil had approximately 297 thousand RGUs compared to 278 thousand RGUs for the two months ended February 28, 2014, and, for the two months ended February 28, 2015, its ARPU was between A13 to A14 compared to A15.1 for the two months ended February 28, 2014. This decline in Tuˇsmobil’s ARPU in the two months ended February 28, 2015 compared to the two months ended February 28, 2014 was primarily due to the impact of the mandatory reduction of mobile termination rates, or MTR, in 2014 in Slovenia, which reductions became effective in September 2014. This financial information is based on preliminary management accounts and has not been audited, reviewed or verified by our independent auditors or the independent auditors of Tuˇsmobil and you should not place undue reliance on them. During the course of our financial statement completion and review process for the three months ended March 31, 2014, we or Tuˇsmobil’s management, as the case may be, could identify items that would require adjustments to be made and which could affect the final results of operations for the periods presented above. 3 Planned acquisitions We are in the process of completing certain acquisitions in respect of which we have entered
