1.8 Forward-Looking Statements and Intentions of the Of feror

This Offer Document includes statements that are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements". These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms "believes", "estimates", "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "may", "will", "assumes", "endeavours" or "should" or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology.

There can be no assurance that the results and events contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Offer Document will occur.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future.

In addition, even if the results of operations, financial condition, employment and dividend policy of the Company, as well as the location of its business, are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Offer Document, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. Important factors that may cause these differences include, but are not limited to, changes in economic conditions generally, legislative changes, changes in taxation regimes, the availability and cost of capital for future investments and the availability of suitable financing. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forwardlooking statements in this Offer Document may not occur.

All forward-looking statements contained in this Offer Document are made only as at the date hereof. Subject to any legal obligations, the Offeror expressly disclaims any obligations to update or revise any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based. Given these uncertainties, Shareholders are cautioned not to place any undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Pursuant to the Conditional Transaction Documents the Offeror agreed that it would make a conditional voluntary offer for one hundred per cent (100%) of the issued share capital of the Company under certain terms and conditions and EITML, pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Irrevocable Undertakings agreed to sell and transfer its Shares, constituting sixty per cent (60%) of the total issued share capital of the Company, to the Offeror.

The Conditional Transaction Documents were executed following conclusion of a sale process that was commenced by the Company shortly after the announcement on 23 July 2015 in which it was announced that EITML had expressed its intention to seek to dispose of its shareholding in the Company. This was subsequently pursued through a competitive bidding process for the entire share capital in the Company. That process culminated in the Offeror being selected as the preferred bidder in that competitive process as announced on the 23 May 2016 by the Company.

In the Conditional Transaction Documents, the Offeror and EITML agreed on, inter alia, certain commitments in contemplation of the Offeror making the Offer. The Offer Letter was issued by the Offeror on the basis of certain assumptions, and includes certain covenants as well as the Completion Conditions.

CONDITIONALITY AND LONG-STOP DATE

5. CONDITIONALITY AND LONG-STOP DATE

Pursuant to the Conditional Transaction Documents the Offeror has bound itself to make a voluntary offer to all Shareholders for the acquisition of hundred per cent (100%) of the issued share capital of the Company. Whilst the Offeror is extending the Offer to all Shareholders for the total issued share capital of the Company, it has not made this a Completion Condition, and has set the acceptance threshold for completion of the transaction at the level of sixty per cent (60%) of the issued share capital of the Company.

The Completion Conditions to which the Offer is subject, may not be satisfied, or waived by the Offeror by the Closing Date. In such an event an Acceptance shall still constitute the irrevocable undertaking on the part of an Accepting Shareholder in favour of the Offeror until the Long-Stop Date, and an Accepting Shareholder shall not be able to dispose of any of the Shares with respect to which an Acceptance is lodged with the Registrar.

In the event that the Completion Conditions are satisfied, after the Closing Date and before the Long-Stop Date, then the Offer shall become unconditional and irrevocable on the Offeror that shall proceed to Settlement of the cash Consideration in accordance with section 6.7.14 "Settlement" of this Offer Document.

In the event that by the Long-Stop Date not all Completion Conditions have been either satisfied or waived, then notwithstanding any Acceptances that may have been received, the Offer shall be automatically terminated and revoked, without penalty or other consequence to the Offeror and an Accepting Shareholder, and each of the Offeror and an Accepting Shareholder shall be fully and completely discharged of any obligation towards the other.

OFFEROR'S INTENTIONS WITH REGARD TO FUTURE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

9. OFFEROR'S INTENTIONS WITH REGARD TO FUTURE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

9.1 Vision for the Company's future

With the acquisition of GO, Tunisie Telecom aspires to become a leading communications and technology player in the Mediterranean region and believes that having a strong presence in Malta, Greece and Cyprus plays an integral part in its strategy. Malta stands out as a key market for the Group to gain a foothold in the region, given its geographical and cultural proximity to Tunisia, stable and attractive macroeconomic dynamics, and solid long-term growth prospects in the telecommunications sector.

TT believes it is well-equipped to support GO's market position across all segments of its telecommunications business, drawing on its longstanding experience building and operating both fixed and mobile networks that provide convergent solutions in a highly competitive environment. In pooling its resources and expertise with GO's, TT will aim to capture further business opportunities through a) the growth in corporate data, b) the expansion in convergence retail play, c) the enriched "Client Experience", and d) delivering the best value proposition to its customers.

TT believes the transaction will deliver a number of attractive synergies, starting with increased purchasing and vendors negotiation power, and enhanced international connectivity.

TT will continue to support GO's investments in the Maltese telecommunications sector. As a regional incumbent, Tunisie Telecom appreciates the strategic importance and need for continued investments in telecommunications networks in order to support the growth of the local economy. In the last two years TT spent an average of c.TND240 million (€106 million)1 per year in Tunisia, mainly to upgrade fixed and mobile networks, applying best-in-class technological standards. Working together with GO's management, TT is committed to continue investing in Malta and to support GO's investments in others segments including 4G, the FTTH rollout and expansion of data centres, thereby further supporting GO's strategy of being the leading integrated telecommunications provider within a growing competitive ecosystem.

Technological / ICT development has been at the top of the strategic priorities for the Tunisian State for many years and has led to transformational changes in the Tunisian society, stimulating the economic growth and development of the country. TT has been instrumental in this transformation with its on-going focus on technological advancement. Tunisie Telecom will be able to leverage from this experience to support GO and Malta as it continuously evolves with technological changes and the needs of society.

Finally, TT intends to maintain GO's current status as a publicly listed company with shares traded on the Maltese stock exchange as far as it remains in compliance with the Listing Rules. TT believes that maintaining GO's strong local shareholder base will be important to benefit from the strong public and customer support that is vital for GO to continue to thrive and grow.

9.2 Board of Directors, Management and Employees

It is expected that the Directors appointed to the board of the Company by EITML by virtue of their shareholding qualification, will resign following Settlement and will be replaced by Directors to be appointed by the Offeror. The Offeror supports the principles of good corporate governance in the Listing rules and will continue to work towards good corporate governance in the Company.

The Offeror acknowledges the achievements of GO and its track record in business transformation under its current management team and holds senior management in very high regard. It is the Offeror's current intention to retain senior management and to complement it as may be required to implement the Company's ambitious strategy for the future. The Offeror believes that there are significant synergies that can be attained between TT and GO's management that may be leveraged to develop the business of the Company.

The Offeror believes that GO's employees are critical to achieving the ambitious strategy and long-term success of the Company and, in the absence of unforeseen circumstances, does not expect to implement any significant changes to conditions of employment or any significant changes to existing policies on human capital.

Tunisie Telecom looks forward to develop a strong and longstanding relationship with GO's management and employees, and to continue to invest in GO's human resources.

Legal Implicationsof the Offer

10. Legal Implications of the Offer

10.1 Squeeze-out and Sell-Out Rights

As at the date of this Document and pursuant to the Conditional Transaction Documents the Offeror already holds a commitment from EITML to accept the Offer for 60 per cent (60%) of the issued share capital of the Company that subject to satisfaction of the Completion Conditions is expected to be converted to actual acceptances during the course of the Acceptance Period.

This is a voluntary public offer being made by the Offeror to all Shareholders and accordingly it is intended to provide Shareholders with an option to sell and transfer their Shares in accordance with the requirements of Applicable Laws. The Offeror has no intention of squeezing-out Shareholders who do not wish to accept the offer, accordingly, it shall not adopt a strategy that actively seeks to procure Acceptances from Shareholders in order to attain the squeeze-out threshold and shall, subject to all other conditions being satisfied (including the Completion Conditions) close the Offer with a minimum Acceptance level of 60% of the issued shares in the Company.

In the event however, that as a result of Acceptances the Offeror acquires and becomes entitled to hold more than ninety per cent (90%) of the issued share capital and votes in the Company and the Offer becomes unconditional, the Offeror shall become entitled to exercise its right set out in the Listing Rules to require all the remaining Shareholders to sell and transfer to the Offeror the remaining Shares, and each remaining Shareholder will have the right to require the Offeror to purchase the remaining Shares, in both cases at a fair price payable in cash within a maximum of ninety (90) calendar days from the Closing Date. In the event that the squeeze-out threshold is attained the Offeror shall determine whether to exercise its squeeze-out rights depending on a number of factors, including but not limited to whether the Company would retain the listing of its Shares on the Malta Stock Exchange; and whether any Shareholders would seek to enforce their sell-out rights. Any such decision will be announced by the Offeror through the Company.

In order to establish a fair price the Offeror must, at that time, appoint an independent expert to draw up a report determining the price considered to be a fair and reasonable value of those Shares.

Details on any exercise of the squeeze-out rights and the squeeze-out independent expert's report will be communicated to the remaining Shareholders not exercising this conditional voluntary offer by means of a Company announcement published through the Malta Stock Exchange.

10.2 De-listing

The Offeror has no intention to seek the de-listing of the Company's shares. However, following completion of the Offer, and dependent upon the number of Shares acquired by the Offeror pursuant to the Offer, the Offeror may have acquired such number of Shares as would reduce the number of Shares in public hands to a level that no longer satisfies the requirements of the Listing Authority. Whilst the Offeror does not currently intend to make any proposal to the Board of Directors and the general meeting of the Company to apply to the Listing Authority for the delisting of the Shares in the Company from the Official List of the Malta Stock Exchange, in the event that the conditions for listing can no longer be fulfilled the Listing Authority itself may consider that the Shares ought to be de-listed; or the circumstances are such that the number of Shares in public hands would have been reduced to a level that it would no longer be feasible for the Company to maintain a listing of its Shares.

10.3 Funding

The Company will continue to seek access to funding from the capital markets and/or from banks in the ordinary course of business.

10.4 Corporate Strategy and Dividend Policy

The Company's board of directors will set its business strategy and review it from time to time in accordance with the Company's resources and objectives.

The Company's dividend policy will be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company, after taking into account the foreseeable cash requirements of the Company.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

11. TAX CONSIDERATIONS

11.1 Introduction

This section is a summary of certain Maltese tax considerations relevant to the disposal of the Shares pursuant to this Offer and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to the Shareholders. Furthermore, this section does not address any foreign tax considerations.

The following summary is based on applicable Maltese law in force at the time of the Offer which is subject to change and is solely intended to provide general guidelines and does not address all possible tax implications that may be relevant.

This section, which does not constitute legal or tax advice, refers only to Shareholders who do not deal in securities in their normal trading activity and accordingly, no action or decision should be taken in reliance on such comments without first obtaining professional advice as regards Maltese and any foreign tax(es) that may be relevant to the transfer of Shares pursuant to the Offer.

11.2 Capital Gains on Disposal of Shares

In terms of the Income Tax Act, income tax is chargeable, inter alia, on capital gains arising from the transfer of shares or securities or any rights over such shares or securities.

However, in accordance with current legislation, insofar as the Shares of the Company remain listed on the Malta Stock Exchange, no income tax on capital gains is chargeable on any transfer of these Shares.

11.3 Duty on Documents

In terms of the Duty on Documents and Transfers Act, a duty (commonly referred to as 'stamp duty') is chargeable on a transfer of shares in Malta.

However, the Financial Markets Act provides that no duty is payable in the case of a transfer of shares of a company listed on the Malta Stock Exchange.

11.4 Shareholder Tax Liabilities

The Offeror shall not be liable to cover any tax liabilities incurred directly by the Company for the purposes of this transaction.

Accepting Shareholders shall be responsible for any tax liability arising as a result of the Settlement and any costs and expenses incurred in obtaining tax advice.

The Offeror's statement that it has sufficient financial resources to meet the consideration on full
acceptance of the Offer and to pay the debts incurred in connection with the Offer has been evaluated
against the following criteria:

necessary funds will be transferred (the "Cash Commitment") in order to meet the consideration on
full acceptance of the Offer and to pay the debts incurred in connection with the Offer; and

ANNEX 2 – INDEPENDENT EXPERT's REPORT

Conclusion

On the basis of the procedures performed and the evidence obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Offeror's assertion that it has sufficient financial resources to meet the consideration to be provided on full acceptance of the Offer and to pay any debts incurred in connection with the Offer is not fairly stated.
