SCHEDULE 7 FORM OF INVESTOR REPORT/QUARTERLY INVESTOR REPORT Template for Investor Report To: The Issuer Security Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Paying Agents General Overview Arqiva is one of the UK’s leading communications infrastructure and media services providers. With significant investments in essential communications infrastructure, the Group is the leading independent telecom towers operator and the sole terrestrial broadcast network provider in the UK. The Group’s core infrastructure business (comprising terrestrial broadcast, digital platforms, wireless siteshare, smart metering and satellite infrastructure) generates predictable operating profits, supported by strong market positions, diverse revenue streams and long-life assets. A significant proportion of the Group’s revenues come from long-term inflation-linked contracts. The Group had a contracted orderbook of £5 .5bn as at 30 June 2017. The Group enjoys the following key competitive advantages: 􀁸 regulated position as the sole UK national provider of network access (‘NA’) and managed transmission services (‘MTS’) for terrestrial television broadcasting, the most popular television broadcast platform in the UK in terms of platform take-up. The Group owns and operates the television transmission network used for digital terrestrial television (‘DTT’) broadcasting in the UK and has long-term contracts with public service broadcaster (‘PSB’) customers (who depend on the Group to meet the obligations under their licences to provide coverage to 98.5% of the UK population) as well as with commercial broadcasters; 􀁸 market leader for commercial spectrum used for the transmission of DTT, owning two of the three main national commercial Multiplexes. The Group owns a further two High Definition (‘HD’) capable DTT (DVB-T2) Multiplexes for additional services on Freeview and DTT related platforms in the DVB-T2 format. DTT video streams in the UK are more valuable to broadcasters than either satellite or cable video streams, due to DTT’s extensive viewer coverage, uptake and the more limited number of commercial channels on the platform; 􀁸 regulated position as the leading UK national provider of NA and MTS for radio broadcasting. The Group provides NA for 100% of the analogue and DAB digital radio transmission market in the UK and 90% for MTS. Arqiva wholly owns D1, the largest national commercial digital radio multiplex, and is the largest shareholder in SDL, the second national commercial digital radio multiplex and holds 25 of the UK’s 56 local radio licences as at 31 December 2017; 􀁸 largest independent provider of wireless infrastructure sites in the UK, with c. 8,000 active licensed sites (including contractual options) with prominence in rural and suburban areas. These are licensed to Mobile Network Operators (‘MNOs’) and other wireless network operators. In addition, Arqiva is a provider of installation services for upgrades and rollouts. Access to Arqiva’s active site portfolio is mission-critical for MNOs, in order to meet national coverage obligations stipulated by their spectrum licences; 􀁸 access to c. 350,000 municipal street furniture sites for the provision of Small Cells and commercial wireless networks in 14 London boroughs and 3 UK cities including Manchester, Medway and Southampton. The Group also has a leading position in providing neutral host InBuilding Solutions and Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS), with 46 systems installed in locations including Canary Wharf, Selfridges and Bluewater; 􀁸 a leading provider of smart metering and M2M communications. Contracts include: supply of smart metering communication services in Northern England and Scotland for electricity and gas to approximately 9.3 million premises; smart water metering network for Thames Water that is expected to cover 3 million homes once fully deployed, and trial contracts with Anglian Water for smart water metering deployment; 􀁸 largest owner of indepe
