  • Note 1: The values are discounted to the time of signing of the Financial Heads of Agreement in June 2010 to facilitate direct comparison with terms agreed at that time. Note 2: While the sale of Lead-in Conduits is covered in the Infrastructure Services Agreement, it is included in the Disconnection Payments component of the table since it relates to assets or services Telstra will not control once the NBN fibre network is built.

Note 3: ‘Other’ includes contractual commitments by the Commonwealth towards funding for retraining and redeployment of Telstra staff, and migration of certain customers and services onto the NBN Fibre Network, as well as costs Telstra will avoid due to the public education campaign undertaken by NBN Co.

INDEPENDENT EXPERT’S OPINION

==> picture [26 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

“In Grant Samuel’s opinion, the Proposal is in the best interests of Telstra and its shareholders”

The Independent Expert’s analysis shows that:

  • the value of Telstra if the Proposed Transaction proceeds is approximately $4.7 billion greater than under the best available alternative; and

  • the value differential remains substantial even under a wide range of alternative assumptions

Note: This assessment is post tax net present value at June 2011.
