“PRIMEVEST SMART CITY FUND” IMPACT INVESTMENT IN SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Utrecht, July 2018
WHY INVESTING IN THE PRIMEVEST SMART CITY INFRASTRUCTURE FUND?
• Cash Flows driven by essential communication services resilient to the economic cycle• Urban areas increasingly depend on mobile communication infrastructure (5G) and the Internet of Things
• Assets with long economic life cycle & high barriers to entry• SMART City infrastructure comprises SMART streetlights of which a part is connected to an inner-city fiber backhaul network (the latter referred to as SMART
Public Nodes) • Average lifetime of SMART streetlights / SMART Public Nodes 20-35 years• Long-term lease agreements with municipalities (minimum 15-20 years) that control city lighting and climate measurement
• Long-term stable cash flow return combined with upside potential • Investing in SMART Lighting provides a long term stable cash return with (fixed revenues & fixed OPEX) • Higher estimated return resulting from investing in further upgrade assets to SMART Public Nodes; extra revenues shared with municipalities
• Diversified end-user base reduces operator risk• Higher risk-profile of the active and content & services business layers mitigated by only investing in the passive infrastructure components• Open-access infrastructure model with diversified tenant base
• Impact investments with important social return• Investors together with municipalities can play important role in realizing sustainability (Climate Treaty) & social responsibility targets
• Experienced international Primevest CP communication infrastructure team• In depth fixed & mobile communication infrastructure experience• Extensive network within local governmental organizations and technology partners in public domain

A NEW ERA IN MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS BEGINS WITH THE ROLL-OUT OF 5G
6
“As the telecommunications sector continues to build on the momentum of 2017, a new mobile era will emerge with the initial commercial rollout of fifth generation wireless network technology (5G). One of the most anticipated mobile technology platforms, 5G will be the connective tissue that blends nascent uses of mobile technology, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), autonomous vehicles, and mobile media, just to name a few”.
Industry Outlook, Deloitte, 2018
CONVERTING 4G MOBILE NETWORKS TO 5G LTE NETWORKS REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPANSION OF INNER-CITY ACCESS POINTS…
7
Introduction of 5G will transform the public space of cities:
• Up to 8 times more mobile access points in inner city areas
• Mobile access points placing needed every 500 - 800 meters (versus 6.000 meters for 4G macro towers)
• Connection to sufficient electricity is needed (24/7 instead of switched power grid)
• Connection to fiber fixed internet access is needed to deliver high-bandwidth speeds
• Data transfer speeds up to 1 Gb/s (versus 50-100 Mb/s based on 4G networks)
…AND ACCELERATES THE GROWTH OF INTERNET OF THINGS BY CONNECTING OBJECTS IN THE INNER-CITY THROUGH SENSORS AND ANTENNAS

TO IMPLEMENT 5G AND CONNECTING OBJECTS IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN, A MOBILE NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE OF SMART PUBLIC NODES IS NEEDED
9
What is a SMART PUBLIC NODE?
Like macro communication towers used for 4G, Smart Public Nodes are outdoor inner-city access points for mobile communication (5G & Wi-Fi) enabling at the same time connectivity for various devices including cameras, wireless broadband radios, and IoT sensors for SMART City applications and can be considered as an expansion of today’s mobile communications network
TODAY’S CITIES CONTROL MANY EXISTING OBJECTS WHICH CAN BE USED TO TRANSFORM INTO “SMART PUBLIC NODES”
10
Existing public assets are crucialin the transition to a smart city and can be used as a ‘node’ between the new digital infrastructure, energy grids and
end-user applications in a city
STREETLIGHTS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE THE MOST APPROPRIATE EXISTING OBJECTS TO CONVERT TO SMART PUBLIC NODES…
11
• Density: 3.5 million streetlights in the Netherlands
• Accommodated with electricity
• Always close to communication infrastructure
• Elevation: makes it very suitable for antenna, camera and sensor placement
• Modularity: physically expandable with equipment, sensors, etc.
…SERVICING A BROAD RANGE OF POTENTIAL OF FUTURE SMART CITY APPLICATIONS…
12
From single-purpose lighting to multi-purpose SMART Public Node
< Fiber > < Electricity transport network (3*25A) >
… BUT CITIES ARE ACTIVELY ASSESSING AN “OUTSOURCING MODEL” FOR THE PHYSICAL REPLACEMENT OF STREETLIGHTS OFFERING OPPORTUNITIES FOR (SEMI-) INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS TO INVEST
13
• Climate Treaty and End-of-life drive transition to SMART Lighting…
• the Dutch Government and cities agreed a binding Climate Treaty with the objective that 20% of total energy consumption is from sustainable (renewable) sources and energy consumption is lowered by 20% by 2020 → implementing SMART Lighting is a top priority for cities & municipalities
• At the same time municipalities are implementing the new 'Omgevingswet' in 2019 by adding sensors (IoT) to the smart lighting lamppost.
• replacement driven by physical or economical end-of-life of the streetlights (100.000 - 175.000> per year in NL)
• …whereas a combination of the lack of financial resources and knowledge & expertise drives the “outsourcing model”:
• Replacement and transition to ‘smart city’ to make the city more attractive go hand-in-hand to facilitate IoT sensors, autonomous driving, EV-charging, WiFI in city hotspots, 5G mobile internet, security surveillance camera’s, etc.
• However, “smartization” requires specific expertise often not at hand and higher investment budgets (with already many other tasks delegated to cities / municipalities requiring financial budget).
CONCLUSION: INVESTING IN LAMPPOSTS IS A SMART INVESTMENT

Building-up a SMART City Asset Portfolio in 3 steps
STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3
Replacing traditional lampposts + implement new luminaires for SMART Lighting
Long-term rent contract (20 years) for renting lampposts to city/municipality + renting related services (sensors, billboards) to private companies + fixed maintenance costs
Upgrade approx. xx% of traditional lampposts to SMART Public Nodes for 5G + fiber/electricity to the lamppost and build inner-city fiber-ring
Upgrade to SMART Public Nodes upon signed long term rent agreements with mobile operators + renting related additional services (camera surveillance, EV charging) to municipality / private companies)
Connecting homes and/or office/community buildings (libraries, schools, etc.) to the inner-city fiber-ring
Expand inner-city fiber-ring by connecting new homes and/or buildings

KEY STRENGHTS BUSINESS PROPOSITION - SUMMARY
20
1. Open Business Model: long-term investments in open access infrastructure create an open ‘platform’ for a wide variety of revenue generating activities, with the benefit of cost-sharing across them.
2. The city as concessionaire and tenant for public functions: the city is concessionaire to the business partners and tenant for public functions.
3. Revenue sharing & common objective to maximise utilisation: incentive for all parties to share open access infrastructure as all parties can benefit from higher utilisation.
4. Operational strength: in a multi-tenant (partnership) framework, all partners (small or big, public or private) work from their strength, delivering and maintaining their specific part of the smart city eco-system.
