This information involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates, as there is no assurance that any of them will be reached. Our and Analysys Mason&#8217;s data is derived from publicly available information released by independent industry analysts and other third-party sources, as well as data from our and Analysys Mason&#8217;s internal research, and are based on assumptions made by us upon reviewing such data, and our experience in, and knowledge of, such industry and markets, which we believe to be reasonable. Analysys Mason&#8217;s third party data is also prepared on the basis of information provided and views expressed by mobile operators, tower operators and other parties (including certain views expressed and information provided or published by individual operators, service providers, regulatory bodies, industry analysts and other third party sources of data). Although Analysys Mason has obtained such information from sources it believes to be reliable, neither we nor Analysys Mason have verified such information. You are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates and assumptions.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In many cases, there is no readily available external information (whether from trade associations, government bodies or other organizations) to validate market related analyses and estimates, requiring us to rely on our own internally developed estimates regarding the industry in which we operate, our position in the industry, our market share and the market shares of various industry participants based on our experience, our own investigation of market conditions and our review of industry publications, including information made available to the public by our competitors. While we believe our internal estimates to be reasonable, these estimates have not been verified by any independent sources and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Industry publications, research, surveys and studies generally state that the information they contain has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. Forecasts and other forward-looking information obtained from these sources and from our and Analysys Mason&#8217;s estimates are subject to the same qualifications and uncertainties as the other forward-looking statements in this Annual Report and as described under &#8220;Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.&#8221; These forecasts and other forward-looking information, are subject to uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described under Item 3.D. &#8220;Risk Factors.&#8221; These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forecasts or estimates from independent third parties and us.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In addition, our and Analysys Mason&#8217;s estimates involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors.

The non-IFRS financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS, and may be different from similarly titled non-IFRS measures used by other companies.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We define Adjusted EBITDA as profit/(loss) for the period, before income tax expense/(benefit), finance costs and income, depreciation and amortization, impairment of withholding tax receivables, business combination transaction costs, impairment of property, plant and equipment and related prepaid land rent on the decommissioning of sites, reversal of provision for decommissioning costs, net (profit)/loss on sale of assets, share-based payment (credit)/expense, insurance claims, listing costs and certain other items that management believes are not indicative of the core performance of our business. The most directly comparable IFRS measure to Adjusted EBITDA is our profit/(loss) for the period.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue for the applicable period, expressed as a&#160;percentage.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an indicator of the operating performance of our core business. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, as defined above, are useful to investors and are used by our management for measuring profitability and allocating resources, because they exclude the impact of certain items which have less bearing on our core operating performance. We believe that utilizing Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin allows for a more meaningful comparison of operating fundamentals between companies within our industry by eliminating the impact of capital structure and taxation differences between the companies.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Adjusted EBITDA measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies comparable to us, many of which present an Adjusted EBITDA-related performance measure when reporting their results.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are used by different companies for differing purposes and are often calculated in ways that reflect the circumstances of those companies. You should exercise caution in comparing Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as reported by us to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are unaudited and have not been prepared in accordance with IFRS.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measures of performance under IFRS and you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA Margin as an alternative to profit/(loss) for the period or other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation.

Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks faced by us described below and elsewhere in this Annual Report.</i></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Risks Relating to Our Business</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a small number of MNOs. Non-performance under or termination, non-renewal or material modification of customer lease agreements with these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">A significant portion of our revenue in each of our markets of operation is derived from a small number of customers, who usually constitute some of the largest MNOs in those markets. In particular, for the&#160;years ended December&#160;31, 2022 and 2021, revenue from our top three MNO customers, considered in each of our individual markets of operation, collectively accounted for 97% and 98%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue, with MTN Nigeria and Airtel Nigeria accounting for 50% and 14% respectively, of our consolidated revenue for the&#160;year ended December&#160;31, 2022. Should there be any negative impact on the businesses of our major customers, including these key MNOs, it could adversely affect their demand for tower space and/or ability to perform their obligations under their lease agreements with us.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Due to the long-term nature of our MLAs (usually 5 to 15&#160;years with subsequent renewal provisions), we are also dependent on the continued financial strength of our customers. Some customers may operate with substantial leverage and/or rely on capital-raising to fund their operations and such customers may not have sufficient credit support or the ability to raise capital. If, for example, our customers or potential customers are unable to raise adequate capital to fund their business plans as a result of health pandemics or epidemics, including COVID-19 and future coronavirus or other outbreaks or events with a wide-ranging regional or global impact, or do not have adequate parental support, they may reduce their capital spending, which could materially and adversely affect demand for space on our Tower sites or other infrastructure, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Furthermore, some of our customers have or may become subject to regulatory or other action, which may result in unanticipated levies or fines. For example, in 2018, the CBN alleged improper repatriation by MTN Nigeria Communications PLC, or MTN Nigeria, of $8.1 billion between 2007 and 2015. The CBN, upon review of additional documentation, concluded </p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">9</p></div></div>

The CBN instructed MTN Nigeria to implement a notional reversal of the 2008 private placement of shares in MTN Nigeria at a net cost of circa &#8358;19.2 billion&#8212;equivalent to $52.6 million (the notional reversal amount). This is on the basis that certain certificates of capital importation, or CCIs, utilized in the private placement were not properly issued. MTN Nigeria and the CBN agreed that they would resolve the matter on the basis that MTN Nigeria would pay the notional reversal amount without admission of liability, and that the CBN would regularize all the CCIs issued on the investment by shareholders of MTN Nigeria, thereby bringing to a final resolution all incidental disputes arising from this matter.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In addition, MTN Nigeria was, until January&#160;2020, involved in a $2 billion dispute with Nigeria&#8217;s Attorney General regarding a demand for allegedly unpaid tax. In January&#160;2020, the Attorney General withdrew its claims against MTN Nigeria and instead referred the matter to the Nigeria Federal Inland Revenue Service and the Nigeria Customs Service. Any fines levied against our customers, their inability to fund their operations or other financial difficulties experienced by our customers could negatively affect their demand for tower space or their ability to perform their obligations under their lease agreements with us, and in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In addition, in 2017 Emerging Markets Telecommunication Services Limited, or 9mobile, previously known as Etisalat Nigeria, one of our Key Customers in Nigeria, experienced certain payment issues with lenders, which ultimately resulted in the lenders enforcing their security rights pursuant to the credit agreement over the shares previously held by Etisalat Group (Emirates Telecommunications Group Company PJSC). 9mobile was reportedly sold in a distressed M&amp;A process in November&#160;2018, however, it has since been publicly reported that the international element of the consortium pulled out of the acquisition in early 2019 and the current ownership status remains unclear. 9mobile continues to trade in Nigeria and had a 5.8% market share as of December&#160;31, 2022, down from 9.2% in 2018. While we continue to engage with 9mobile as a regular customer and currently continue to receive payments from 9mobile, 9mobile has failed to make full&#160;monthly payments to us in the past and any continued or future failure to make payments (including pursuant to any new arrangements entered into to try and resolve the situation) may result in us not receiving payment of amounts owed to us and further potential renegotiation of contract terms. See &#8220;&#8212; We may experience volatility in terms of timing for settlement of invoices or may be unable to collect amounts due under invoices.&#8221; These circumstances may, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. For the&#160;years ended December&#160;31, 2022 and 2021, 9mobile accounted for 4% and 6% of our revenue generated, respectively.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In addition, if any of our customers are unwilling or unable to perform their obligations under the relevant tower lease or other customer agreements, including as a result of current and future health pandemics, epidemics, or other outbreaks or events with a wide-ranging regional or global impact, or related events (such as regulatory interventions on pricing to make MNO services more accessible during periods of lockdown or restricted movement or operations), our revenue, financial condition and/or results of operations could be adversely affected. In the ordinary course of our business, we do occasionally experience disputes with our customers, generally regarding the interpretation of terms in our lease agreements. From time to time, we also undertake routine revenue assurance exercises to determine that all customer equipment on site and services being provided to the customers are being accurately invoiced according to our contracts, and occasionally, we locate equipment that we have not previously invoiced to customers that we believe we are contractually able to invoice. Historically, we have sought to resolve these disputes in an amicable manner, and such disputes have not had a material adverse effect on our customer relationships or our business. However, it is possible that such disputes could lead to a termination of our lease agreements with customers, a material modification of the terms of those lease agreements or a failure to obtain new business from existing customers, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. Furthermore, if we are forced to resolve any of these disputes through litigation or arbitration, our relationship with the applicable customer could be terminated or damaged, which could lead to decreased revenue or increased costs, which may in turn result in a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our customers may fail to meet their payment obligations on a timely basis or at all. Such failures to pay, payment delays or other non-performance may be due to a customer&#8217;s insolvency or bankruptcy, a downturn in the economic cycle or factors specific to the relevant customer. For instance, in March 2023, Oi Brazil filed for a new judicial reorganization proceeding, listing our contract related to the GTS SP5 Acquisition among Oi Brazil&#8217;s debts. It is currently unclear how any such reorganization proceeding will impact Oi Brazil as a customer. The failure of our customers to meet their payment obligations and/or our inability to find new customers in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">No assurance can be given that our customers will renew their customer lease agreements upon expiration of those agreements or that customers will not request unfavorable amendments to existing agreements. <span style="background:#ffffff;">While a number of the MLAs with our customers are deemed automatically renewed if not cancelled by the stated expiration date, we regularly </span></p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">10</p></div></div>

For instance, an MLA with a customer in Cote d&#8217;Ivoire is up for renewal in the first half of 2023 with renewal discussions ongoing, MLAs with certain customers in Zambia and Rwanda are up for renewal in 2024 and MLAs with certain customers in Nigeria and Zambia are up for renewal in 2025. </span>No assurance can be given that we will be successful in renewing or negotiating favorable terms with these customers, or that we will not be required to enter into interim continuation provisions with these customers if we are unable to agree to renewal agreements prior to the expiry of our current agreements. Any failure to obtain renewals of existing customer lease agreements or failure to successfully negotiate favorable terms for such renewals of or amendments to existing agreements (if sought) could result in a reduction in revenue and, accordingly, have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">We may experience volatility in terms of timing for settlement of invoices or may be unable to collect amounts due under invoices.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our contractual invoicing cycle is typically&#160;monthly in arrears or&#160;monthly or quarterly in advance, with the contractual payment cycle on average 30 to 60&#160;days post invoice. As of December&#160;31, 2022, we had gross receivables more than 90&#160;days overdue of $42.3 million and held an impairment provision allowance of $25.4 million. While we may continue to pursue our contractual rights in collecting outstanding amounts, should the relevant counterparties be unable to meet their obligations to pay us any such sums in a timely manner, including as a result of current or future health pandemics, epidemics, or other outbreaks or events with a wide-ranging regional or global impact, or related consequences, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations, including planned working capital requirements. In addition, if our customers experience financial difficulties, as a result of regulatory actions, the COVID-19 pandemic or related effects, prolonged economic downturn, inability to raise funds or capital, or for any other reason, we may be unable to collect amounts due under invoices from those customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Our current and future markets involve additional risks compared to more developed markets, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We and our customers operate in various international markets, particularly in emerging markets such as in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.

In particular, a significant portion of our revenue is currently derived from our Nigerian operations (69% of our revenue for the&#160;year ended December&#160;31, 2022) , and any such risks materializing within Nigeria in particular may have a significant impact on our business as a whole, including our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Operations in international markets, including emerging and less developed markets (including Africa, the Middle East and Latin America), also subject us to numerous additional and different laws and regulations affecting our business, such as those related to labor, employment, unions, health and safety, antitrust and competition, environmental protection, consumer protection, import/export and anti-bribery, corruption and money laundering. Our employees, subcontractors and agents could take actions that violate any of these requirements. Violations, or alleged violations, of any such laws or regulations could subject us to criminal or civil enforcement actions and adversely affect our reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our expansion into new geographic markets, such as Latin America, South Africa, Kuwait, Egypt, and other markets we may enter in the future, may present competitive, distribution, regulatory and other challenges that differ from the challenges we face in markets that we have historically operated in. In addition, we may be less familiar with the customers, competitive dynamics (including antitrust concepts or regimes that may be based on our ultimate group shareholding and that may limit our ability to make future investments, due to, for example, our ultimate shareholders also investing in other ancillary businesses in the same market, which regulatory authorities in some markets may view as impacting their antitrust considerations) and regulatory environment in these markets and may ultimately face different or additional risks, as well as increased or unexpected costs, compared to those we experience in our existing markets. Expansion into new geographic markets may also expose us to direct competition with companies with whom we have limited or no past experience as competitors. To the extent we rely upon expanding into new geographic markets and do not meet, or are unprepared for, any new challenges posed by such expansion, our future sales growth could be negatively impacted, our operating costs could increase, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. See &#8220;Risks Relating to the Markets in which We Operate.&#8221;</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We and our customers face foreign exchange risks, which may be material.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">For the&#160;years ended December&#160;31, 2022 and 2021, 51% and 63%, respectively, of our revenue was linked to the U.S. dollar or in euro-pegged currencies. The manner in which this revenue is linked to the U.S. dollar or the euro differs across our MLAs and jurisdictions of operation.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our U.S. dollar-linked revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars in the relevant MLAs, but paid to us in local currency through contractual mechanisms. In such cases, including the majority of our MLAs in Nigeria, our MLAs may contain a formula for periodically determining the U.S. dollar to local currency exchange rate. Such MLAs typically have U.S. dollar-denominated components and local currency components of pricing, and the U.S. dollar components are converted to the local currency for settlement at a fixed conversion rate for a stated period of time, which conversion rates are reset quarterly, semi-annually or annually. As a result, in the event of devaluation, such as the ones that occurred in June&#160;2016 and March&#160;2020 in Nigeria, there is a risk of a delay between the timing of the devaluation and the next contractual reset, which may be significant. During the period between the date of the devaluation and the date of the reset, all of our revenue (i.e., both revenue that is contractually linked to the U.S. dollar and that is contractually linked to local currency) would reflect the new, devalued foreign exchange rate. When the reset is effected, the amount relating to the portion of the lease fees linked to the U.S. dollar, which is invoiced in local currency, is adjusted upward, including in the cases of the June&#160;2016 and March&#160;2020 devaluations in Nigeria. Furthermore, our ability to maintain or enter into such contractually linked foreign exchange protection mechanisms with our current and new customers in the future is not assured, which may in turn reduce our protection against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and therefore could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">In addition, the conversion rates included in our MLAs may also be different than the rates at which our financial results are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. If we are required to use a higher rate for accounting purposes than that of our contracts, notwithstanding any underlying performance, it is likely that our financial results for the relevant periods in the future will show a related decline in performance. For example, as described below under &#8220;&#8212; The existence of multiple foreign exchange markets with different exchange rates may impact the rate at which our operating subsidiaries&#8217; financial results are translated into U.S. dollars for group reporting purposes, which may impact our financial condition and/or results </p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">13</p></div></div>

While we reached &#160;agreement with our Key Customers in Nigeria to update the reference exchange rate in our contracts to the prevailing market rate available on Bloomberg (which has typically been aligned to the NAFEX rate), should these and similar circumstances arise again or continue to exist (where there is a divergence between the applicable market rate or translation rates for our financial results, and the exchange rate reflected in our contracts with customers), there is no guarantee that we will be able to renegotiate these contracts or enter into new contracts to fully protect against such foreign exchange risks, which could materially impact our results of operations. In addition, some of our contracts, particularly in Latin America, South Africa, and Kuwait, are based on local currency pricing with no direct foreign exchange link or conversion mechanism, and therefore any depreciation in local currency rates against the U.S. dollar would similarly impact our financial results when they are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes, notwithstanding any underlying performance.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Certain of our other MLAs have revenue components linked to hard currencies, such as the U.S. dollar or the euro, because the MLAs are in local currencies that maintain a fixed exchange rate, or are &#8220;pegged,&#8221; to such currencies, such as those in C&#244;te d&#8217;Ivoire and Cameroon. In addition, it was announced in 2019 that the CFA Franc used in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA), which includes C&#244;te d&#8217;Ivoire, and which has a fixed exchange rate to the euro, would be replaced by a new currency called the Eco, and in June&#160;2021, the heads of state of fifteen West African countries, including C&#244;te d&#8217;Ivoire, comprising the Economic Community of West African States adopted a roadmap for the launch of the Eco in 2027. If such fixed or linked exchange rates are not maintained or are &#8220;de-pegged,&#8221; it could result in fluctuations and/or devaluations of these currencies, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In addition, even though our MLAs may have foreign currency-linked revenue components, or have use fees expressed in foreign currencies, the actual currency of settlement of a significant portion of our revenue is in local currencies, and we therefore remain exposed to foreign exchange risks. There may also be regulatory actions or pressure based on, among other things, socioeconomic or political reasons or events, to enforce local currency-based pricing, which would dilute any protection we may seek to include in our contracts to protect against local currency devaluations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Most of our expenses are in the local currencies of the relevant jurisdiction of operation, except for certain of our borrowings, which are predominantly in U.S. dollars. For example, our senior notes with an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $1,940 million as of December 31, 2022 were issued in U.S. dollars. Certain other components of our capital expenditures may also be linked to foreign currency-based pricing elements. Diesel, which is one of our most significant expenses, may be considered as linked to U.S. dollars given the international pricing of oil, and can be paid for in U.S. dollars when purchased offshore or in local currency when purchased locally. See &#8220;&#8212; Any increase in operating expenses, particularly increased costs for diesel or an inability to pass through or mitigate against increased diesel costs, could erode our operating margins and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.&#8221; Should the relevant local currencies depreciate against the U.S. dollar, the cost of buying diesel in the relevant local currency may increase, but the impact on our results is less notable when translated back into U.S. dollars at the higher foreign exchange rate. There may, however, be instances where our suppliers face foreign exchange pressure in the importation of certain materials, or as a result of the exchange rate at which they are able to source (or which applies to items for which charges are based on) foreign currency and import certain materials. This could in turn result in pressure from our suppliers to increase amounts payable by us.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We hold U.S. dollar cash balances in some of our jurisdictions of operation and/or convert local currencies to the relevant foreign currencies for payment obligations.

In markets where there are multiple exchange rates available and/or referenced by the applicable banking authorities, there may be differences among the exchange rates companies use pursuant to accounting standards, contracted rates, rates quoted for other foreign exchange transactions, and &#8216;official&#8217; central bank rates. If such differences exist, we may encounter issues relating to the interpretation or enforcement of our contracts with our customers. We may also be required to change the exchange rate applied to the translation of the local currency books of our operating subsidiaries to U.S. dollars for our consolidated group reporting purposes.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">This has been particularly relevant to our operations in Nigeria, where a significant portion of our operations are based. Following the significant depreciation of the Naira against the U.S. dollar in 2016, as described in &#8220;Risks Relating to Our Business&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;We and our customers face foreign exchange risks, which may be material,&#8221; in a continuing effort to improve U.S. dollar liquidity in Nigeria and to assist investors and exporters in accommodating foreign exchange transactions, the CBN introduced a new foreign exchange window for investors and exporters in April&#160;2017. This foreign exchange window, which includes the NAFEX rate, currently allows willing counterparties to exchange foreign currency through authorized dealers at a rate that is essentially market driven. This resulted in a situation where there were differing exchange rates in the market and we have been required to regularly monitor and evaluate which exchange rate is most appropriate to apply in the translation of the Naira books of our Nigerian operations to U.S. dollars for our consolidated group reporting purposes.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">During 2018 and 2019 the CBN official rate was approximately &#8358;306 to the U.S. dollar while the NAFEX rate was approximately &#8358;362 to the U.S. dollar. During 2020, the divergence between the two rates decreased as they both depreciated against the U.S. dollar, with the CBN rate and NAFEX rates as of December&#160;31, 2020 being &#8358;380 and &#8358;410 to the U.S. dollar, respectively. As of May&#160;31, 2021, the CBN ceased publishing what was the CBN Rate, although with limited impact on us given that the NAFEX rate was the most widely used rate at this time. The CBN now publishes the NAFEX rate on its website, and the NAFEX rates as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were &#8358;461.50 and &#8358;435.0 to the U.S. dollar, respectively.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">The determination of the most appropriate rate to use at the relevant time we produce financial information will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, availability and liquidity in the market generally. The foreign exchange rate that we determine to be the most appropriate for the translation of our results for group reporting purposes may differ from the conversion rates contained within our contracts. For example, from January&#160;1, 2018, the results of our subsidiaries in Nigeria have been translated into our presentation currency, U.S. dollars, at the NAFEX&#160;monthly average exchange rate for income and expenses and from December&#160;31, 2017, the assets and liabilities at the NAFEX closing rate at the balance sheet date.

For example, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, governmental authorities around the world implemented various measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, and such measures adversely affected workforces, supply chains, ability to carry out operations, economies and financial markets and led to an economic downturn in many of our markets. In addition, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the global economy, depreciation of local currencies and/or a lack of sufficient availability of hard/international currencies, we may experience fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in many of the markets in which we operate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. Global deterioration in economic conditions in light of COVID 19 or other global health emergencies or events could adversely and materially affect us and/or our customers through disruptions of, among other things, the ability to procure communications equipment or other supplies through the usual supply chains. For instance, shortages of capacity in shipping may occur and could affect the smooth flow of our and/or our customers&#8217; supply chains, increase transportation costs and/or decrease reliability. Global deterioration in economic conditions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic or similar future outbreaks could also adversely and materially affect the ability of us and/or our customers to maintain liquidity and deploy network capital, with potential decreases in consumer spending contributing to liquidity risks, or even through regulatory interventions or pressure on pricing and services offered that may reduce revenue for periods of time. Any resulting financial difficulties could result in uncollectible accounts receivable or reduced revenue, despite having provided increased services. Resulting supply chain or operational difficulties (including site access) may also result in us being unable to meet the service level agreement targets under our MLAs.

We may deploy strategic plans that ultimately do not achieve our initial expectations, particularly as they relate to entering new markets, acquiring assets or deploying growth capital. Incorrect initial assumptions or the failure to implement and execute our strategic and operating plans in a cost-effective and timely manner, or at all, realize the cost savings or other benefits or improvements associated with such plans, or have financial resources to fund the costs associated with such plans or to incur costs in excess of anticipated amounts, or sufficiently assess and reassess the plans (including, in each case, as a result of challenges that may be posed or arise as a result of operating companies in which we may not have a majority of the economic or share ownership, whether in terms of operational or further commensurate funding challenges or otherwise), could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Further, successful execution of our business plan will require effective management of growth, which may include acquisitions.

Given the importance of diesel for our operations, we may purchase diesel in large quantities which is then stored at our facilities. This supply could be disrupted by events that are beyond our control, including, for example, in light of COVID-19 or any future coronavirus or other outbreaks or events with a wide-ranging regional or global impact, or events such as those related to political instability, including, for example, in connection with the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. While we aim to purchase diesel from reputable third parties that can provide a consistent supply of diesel of appropriate quality, we also cannot control the ultimate source of the diesel provided by such suppliers or any alteration in the quality of the product at the point of receipt (such as adulteration or theft of products during the delivery period). &#160;While we maintain planning, monitoring and logistics systems including bulk storage facilities aimed at providing a consistent supply of diesel to sites, scarcity of diesel, lack of available trucks, labor disputes, queues and other issues at fuel depots and security concerns at certain sites, and fire, among other things, including the impact of climate change or related initiatives, have in the past and may in the future, cause this supply to be disrupted. Disruption in the supply of diesel or diesel quality not meeting our requirements would impede our ability to continue to power our sites and adversely affect power uptimes. Widespread or long-term disruption in the supply of diesel may result in us being unable to meet the service level agreement targets under our MLAs, and in some cases we would be required to shoulder resultant financial penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">We also rely on third-party suppliers for many of the other materials, equipment and goods necessary to operate our business, including batteries, solar panels, and fiberoptic cable. The failure of suppliers to supply equipment in a timely manner or on commercially reasonable terms could delay our plans to expand our business and otherwise increase our costs. Our orders with certain of our suppliers may represent a very small portion of their total orders. As a result, they may not give priority to our business, leading to potential delays in or cancellation of our orders.

We may have difficulty identifying a substitute supplier in a timely manner and/or on commercially reasonable terms. If this were to occur, our business and operations could be harmed. In addition, adverse economic conditions, such as recent supply chain disruptions and labor shortages and persistent inflation, have impacted, and may continue to adversely impact our suppliers&#8217; ability to provide us with materials and equipment, which may negatively impact our business. These economic conditions make it more difficult for us to accurately forecast and plan our future business activities.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Additionally, there are increasing regulations and expectations in various jurisdictions that companies monitor the environmental and social performance of their suppliers, including compliance with a variety of labor practices, as well as consider a wider range of potential environmental and social matters. Compliance can be costly, require us to establish or augment programs to diligence or monitor our suppliers, or, in certain cases, to design supply chains to avoid certain regions altogether. Failure to comply with such regulations can result in fines, reputational damage, or otherwise adversely impact our business.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Our Contracted Revenue is based on certain estimates and assumptions and actual results may differ materially from such estimated operating results.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our Contracted Revenue disclosed in this Annual Report represents our estimate of the lease fees to be received from existing Tenants of Key Customers for the remainder of each Tenant&#8217;s current contractual site lease term, lease fees to be received from the existing Lease Amendments of Key Customers for the remainder of each Lease Amendment&#8217;s current contractual term and lease fees to be received from Key Customers where we provide access to fiber access to an OLT for the remainder of the relevant contractual term, as of December&#160;31, 2022. Our Contracted Revenue is based on certain estimates and assumptions, such as constant foreign exchange rates, no escalation of lease fees despite contractual provisions in our MLAs in that regard, no new tenants or new Lease Amendments added, no amendments to our existing MLA terms and no Churn. Unanticipated events may occur that could adversely affect the actual results achieved by us during the periods to which these estimates relate, causing some or all of the actual results to deviate from our estimates and assumptions, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operation.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Any increase in operating expenses or costs, particularly increased costs for diesel or ground lease costs, or an inability to pass through or mitigate against such costs, could erode our operating margins and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our primary operating expenses include diesel fuel, site maintenance and security, salaries of engineers and security personnel, fees for licenses and permits and insurance. In addition, we incur ground lease costs and the continued development, expansion and maintenance of our tower site infrastructure requires ongoing capital expenditure. There is no assurance that our operating expenses, including those noted above, will not increase in the future or that we will be able to successfully pass any such increases in operating expenses to the customers. For example, we require a substantial amount of diesel to power our tower site operations. For the&#160;year ended December&#160;31, 2022, the cost of power generation, which includes diesel, haulage and minimal electricity, accounted for 36.2% of our cost of sales, as compared to 29.4% of our cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2021.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Diesel prices have fluctuated significantly over time, often in parallel to changes in oil prices, and may fluctuate in the future as a result of many factors, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions, including, for example, in connection with the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the related economic sanctions, and/or climate change or related initiatives, and we are only able to pass through a component of the fuel costs at our sites to our customers under the terms of certain of our contracts. We therefore remain exposed to diesel price volatility, which may result in substantial increases in our operating costs and reduced profits if prices rise significantly. Further, our attempts to reduce power costs through the deployment of DC generators, hybrid battery and solar technologies, while presently successful, may not be successful in the future.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our ground lease costs are for a fixed duration, typically a 10-to-15-year term, paid for either on a&#160;monthly or quarterly basis or in advance for a multi-year portion of the overall term of the lease. Approximately 20% of our ground leases are due for renewal within the next 24&#160;months. The renewal of a large proportion of our tower portfolio ground leases within a particular&#160;year requires a significant upfront rent payment made upon such renewal, which in turn could increase our cash outflows for that particular&#160;year. Any increases in operating expenses or lease costs referred to above would reduce our operating margins and may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">19</p></div></div>

As of December&#160;31, 2022, approximately 88% of the sites in our portfolio were operated under ground leases on land that we do not own. For sites on leased land, approximately 42% of the ground leases have an expiration date before the end of 2027 and, as of December&#160;31, 2022, the average remaining life of our ground leases was 8.5 years.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">For various reasons, landowners or lessors may not want to renew their ground leases, may seek substantially increased rents, or they may lose their rights to the land (including, for example, if such land is subject to concession agreements) or transfer their land interests to third parties, which could affect our ability to renew ground leases on commercially viable terms or at all. In addition, we may not have the required available capital to extend these ground leases at the end of the applicable period. In the event that we cannot extend these ground leases, we will be required to dismantle and/or relocate these Towers and may lose the cash flows derived from such Towers, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Real property interests relating to Towers consist primarily of leasehold interests, which in some cases relate to sites for which special access arrangements may be required, such as Towers located on or near airports, government facilities or rooftops. For various reasons, we may not always have the ability to access, analyze and verify all information regarding titles and other issues prior to entering into a ground lease, or we may be unable to contractually agree to amendments in relation to sensitive site access issues, all of which could affect the rights to access and operate the site. From time to time, we may also experience disputes with lessors regarding the terms of ground leases, which could affect our ability to access and operate a tower site. The termination of a ground lease may interfere with our ability to operate and generate revenue from the Tower. If this were to happen at a material number of sites, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our ability to access and operate our Towers or other communications infrastructure may also rely on right of use or other similar agreements with third parties. In the event that we cannot renew or continue to exercise our rights under these agreements, we will be required to dismantle and/or relocate these Towers or other communications infrastructure assets, and may lose the cash flows derived from such assets, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">We may experience the loss of tenancies and/or customers, and are exposed to the loss of revenue from the failure or acquisition of any customer or customer consolidation.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">If we were to experience a loss of tenancies when services provided by us are terminated, a Tenant does not renew its contract or we have ceased recognizing revenue for a customer on a site in any particular period, we would face what is known as Churn. For example, Tenants may determine that demand has changed in a particular area and they no longer need tower infrastructure at certain sites. A Tenant may Churn if the MLA or SLA is not renewed at the end of its term, the customer ceases operations or switches to a competing tower company. Similarly, certain customers may be acquired, experience financial difficulties or cease operations as a result of technological changes or other factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting effects (or any future coronavirus or other outbreaks or events with a wide-ranging regional or global impact), which could result in renewal on less favorable terms, cancellation or non-renewal of our tenancy agreements. We experienced Churn of 603 and 1,283 Tenants for the&#160;years ended December&#160;31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Other than a customer Churning at the end of its term, limited termination clauses may apply pursuant to the relevant MLA. Certain of our customer agreements also contain a contractual right to Churn a limited number of sites each&#160;year without penalty, and customers with no such right could use their negotiating power in the future to request the ability to Churn certain tenancies. If customers terminate or fail to renew customer lease agreements with us (either on commercially acceptable terms, or at all), are acquired or, become insolvent, or otherwise become unable to pay lease fees, the loss of such customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Also, as is customary in tower infrastructure acquisitions, purchase agreements sometimes allow the purchaser of a site, such as us, to unwind sites when legal title has not been transferred by a date falling a number of&#160;months after completion of the acquisition, or the long-stop date, unless extended by the mutual consent of the parties. In the event that such unwinding takes place, which is typically at the option of the purchaser, the seller would reimburse the purchaser for the price paid for the sites that are subject to unwinding and the seller, such as the relevant MNO, would stop paying the lease fee for those sites.

Such consolidation may also result in a reduction in our customers&#8217; (or potential new customers&#8217;) future capital expenditures, including as a result of their expansion plans being similar or if their requirements for additional sites decreases on a consolidated basis. We believe consolidation may occur in certain of our markets in order to achieve both the scale and economic models necessary for long-term growth. Customer or industry consolidation may also result in increased customer concentration. See &#8220;&#8212; A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a small number of MNOs. Non-performance under or termination, non-renewal or material modification of customer lease agreements with these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.&#8221; Our contracts and lease agreements may be unable to protect us adequately from a reduction in tenancies due to consolidations and we may be unable to renew contracts or lease agreements on favorable terms, or at all. If a significant number of contract or lease terminations occur due to industry consolidation, our revenue and cash flow could be adversely affected, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">A slowdown in the growth of, or reduction in demand for, wireless communications services could adversely affect the demand for tower space and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and/or results of operations.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Demand for tower space is dependent principally on demand from wireless communications carriers, which, in turn, is dependent on subscriber demand for wireless services. Most types of wireless services currently require ground-based network facilities, including communications sites for transmission and reception. The extent to which wireless communications carriers lease such communications sites depends on a number of factors beyond our control, including the level of demand for such wireless services, the availability of spectrum frequencies, the financial condition and access to capital of such carriers, changes in telecommunications regulations and general economic conditions, as well as factors such as geography and population density. In addition, if our customers or potential customers do not have sufficient funds from operations or are unable to raise adequate capital to fund their business plans or face other financial issues, they may reduce their capital spending, which could adversely affect demand for space on our towers, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In addition, tower sharing must continue to be seen by wireless telecommunications providers as a cost-effective way to satisfy their passive infrastructure needs. Any slowdown in the growth of, or reduction in demand for, wireless telecommunications services, or any failure of tower sharing to continue to develop as a way to meet the requirements of wireless telecommunications providers in the countries in which we operate, may adversely affect the demand for tower sites and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations, as well as our cash flows.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Further, there can be no assurances that 3G, 4G , 5G, advanced wireless services in any other spectrum bands or other new wireless technologies will be deployed or adopted as rapidly as estimated or that these new technologies will be implemented in the manner anticipated or at all. Additionally, the demand by consumers and the adoption rate of consumers for these new technologies once deployed may be lower or slower than anticipated, particularly in emerging and less developed markets such as those in which we operate or may operate in the future. We may also need to adapt our business model to new technologies such as 5G and the resulting change to products and services we offer, as well as to changing customer or local or regulatory requirements, such as increasing construction of new sites and infrastructure expansion in remote or rural areas, which may be less commercially viable or more technologically or operationally challenging for us (including potentially as a result of needing to contemplate elements of active communications equipment or revenue share models within our business or operating model). These factors could adversely affect our growth rate since growth opportunities and demand for our tower space as a result of such new technologies may not be realized at the times or to the extent anticipated, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">21</p></div></div>

For example, new technologies that may promote network sharing, joint development, or resale agreements by our wireless service provider customers, such as signal combining technologies or network functions virtualization, may reduce the need for our wireless infrastructure, or may result in the decommissioning of equipment on certain sites because portions of the customers&#8217; networks may become redundant. In addition, other technologies and architectures, such as WiFi, DAS, femtocells, other small cells, or satellite (such as low earth orbiting satellite systems capable of providing internet coverage, including the service recently commenced by Starlink in Nigeria) and mesh transmission systems may, in the future, serve as substitutes for, or alternatives to, the traditional macro site communications architecture that is the basis of substantially all of our site leasing business. Additional examples of such new technologies might include spectrally efficient technologies which could potentially relieve some network capacity problems, or complementary voice over internet protocol access technologies that could be used to offload a portion of subscriber traffic away from the traditional tower-based networks, which would reduce the need for telecommunications operators to add more tower-based antenna equipment at certain tower sites. MNOs in European markets have implemented active sharing technologies in which MNOs share the wireless spectrum and, therefore, need fewer of their own antennas and less tower space for such equipment. Moreover, the emergence of alternative technologies could reduce the need for tower-based wireless services transmission and reception. For example, the growth in delivery of wireless communication, radio and video services by direct broadcast satellites could materially and adversely affect demand for our antenna space, or certain alternative technologies could cause radio interference with older generation tower-based wireless services transmission and reception. As a result, the development and implementation of alternative technologies to any significant degree could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Increased competition in the tower infrastructure industry could have a material and adverse effect on our business.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Although we are a leading independent provider of telecommunications tower infrastructure in most of our markets, competition in the tower infrastructure industry exists and customers have alternatives for leasing tower space, including:</p><table style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:10pt;margin-top:0pt;table-layout:fixed;width:100%;border:0pt;"><tr><td style="width:18pt;"></td><td style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;vertical-align:text-top;white-space:nowrap;width:18pt;padding:0pt;">&#9679;</td><td style="padding:0pt;"><span style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">telecommunications operators which own and lease their own tower portfolios;</span></td></tr></table><table style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:10pt;margin-top:0pt;table-layout:fixed;width:100%;border:0pt;"><tr><td style="width:18pt;"></td><td style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;vertical-align:text-top;white-space:nowrap;width:18pt;padding:0pt;">&#9679;</td><td style="padding:0pt;"><span style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">in certain circumstances, owners of alternative site structures such as building rooftops, outdoor and indoor DAS networks, billboards and electric transmission towers; and</span></td></tr></table><table style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;table-layout:fixed;width:100%;border:0pt;"><tr><td style="width:18pt;"></td><td style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;vertical-align:text-top;white-space:nowrap;width:18pt;padding:0pt;">&#9679;</td><td style="padding:0pt;"><span style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">other independent tower companies operating in the market, such as American Tower Corporation, or ATC, SBA Communications Corporation, or SBA, or other tower companies that may enter the market.</span></td></tr></table><div style="margin-top:10pt;"></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We believe that competition in the tower infrastructure industry in emerging and less developed markets (including markets such as Africa, the Middle East and Latin America) is based on, among other things, power management expertise, tower location, relationships with telecommunications operators, tower quality and height, pricing and ability to offer additional services to tenants and operational performance, as well as the size of a company&#8217;s site portfolio and its ability to access efficient capital. We believe we are the market leader in Africa by tower count as of December 31, 2022, with 30,845 towers. ATC is our primary competitor in Africa among independent tower companies, including in Nigeria and South Africa , and Helios Towers Plc and SBA are other notable competitors in Africa. In Brazil, the competitive landscape is wider as of December 31, 2022, with ATC and SBA owning more towers than we do as of December 31, 2022, and numerous smaller tower companies of similar size to or smaller than our business. The Brazilian and South African competitive landscape presents opportunities for consolidation. We also compete to a lesser extent with telecommunications operators who have retained their own towers and continue to manage them and make them available for Colocation. In certain circumstances, we also compete with owners of alternative site structures such as building rooftops, outdoor and indoor DAS networks, billboards and electric transmission towers. In addition, there may be increased competition in the future from other independent tower companies operating in, or that may enter, our markets. In particular, we may face competition in Latin America from other independent tower companies who may have a substantially larger site portfolio or have operated in the region for a longer period of time than we have.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">22</p></div></div>

In addition, we may not be able to renew existing customer leases or enter into new customer leases, either on commercially acceptable terms or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and growth rate. Increasing competition could also make the acquisition of attractive tower portfolios or other tower companies more costly, or limit acquisition opportunities altogether, particularly in cases where our competitors have a lower cost of capital. Any of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">We may not successfully identify or integrate acquired assets or businesses into our operations or be able to fully recognize the anticipated benefits of assets or businesses that we acquire or establish in either existing or new markets.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">A key element of our growth strategy has been to increase our tower portfolio through acquisitions, and we expect to continue to make acquisitions in the future, including in new geographic markets and/or adjacent communications infrastructure verticals. In 2020, we completed the acquisition of towers in Kuwait, Brazil, Peru and Colombia. In 2021 we completed the acquisition of towers in Brazil and Colombia, acquired TIM Brasil&#8217;s secondary fiber network infrastructure and signed the Egypt Transaction. In 2022 we completed the acquisition of towers in South Africa and Brazil. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates in the future or acquire them on acceptable terms, including due to increased competition for attractive acquisition opportunities in the relevant markets, or that any particular acquisition or investment will perform as anticipated in our investment appraisals or related targets. Additionally, we rely on our due diligence of the acquired assets or business and the representations and financial records of the sellers and other third parties to establish the anticipated revenue and expenses and whether the acquired assets or business will meet our internal guidelines for current and future potential returns. Given the nature of the individual assets which are numerous and geographically diverse, it can be difficult to conduct effective physical diligence on these, which is typically conducted by way of a sample audit. In addition, we may not always have the ability to analyze and verify all information regarding title, access and other issues regarding the land underlying acquired towers. The condition of the assets can also deteriorate significantly during the period prior to closing (and after physical site audits) because sellers may reduce operating and capital expenditure on such towers.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Moreover, we may incur significant costs during the evaluation and consideration of new investment opportunities or the pursuit of such acquisitions, which are often conducted through competitive auction processes. Tower portfolio or other asset acquisitions typically take a considerable period of time to sign and close and usually close in stages, but can involve up-front investments that cannot be recovered regardless of whether the transaction is successfully completed. Tower portfolio or other asset acquisitions are subject to certain customary conditions precedent and closing these transactions will generally depend on whether certain conditions precedent are satisfied, such as regulatory approvals. In the event that conditions precedent are not satisfied or are not satisfied in a timely manner, we have been in the past and may in the future be unable to acquire certain tower portfolios or other assets, or closings (and therefore operations and revenue) may be delayed, while, in each case, incurring associated or continuing transaction costs. We may also at any time be participating in one or multiple sale or acquisition processes across various markets and continents (which may include processes in Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, Southeast Asia or other markets with different counterparties). Given the confidential nature of such processes the details of these would only be available once we have been selected as the preferred candidate and reached agreement on terms with the counterparty. We may also be unable to succeed in the processes (or any of them) in which we participate or reach an agreement on terms with the counterparty should we be selected as the preferred candidate. Given the often-varying transaction structures of these communications infrastructure sales or acquisitions, we often have little or no control on the timing of such processes.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We may be required to rely on the financial and operational representations, warranties and undertakings (including any indemnity) of sellers. If: (i)&#160;records with respect to the acquired assets are not complete or accurate, (ii)&#160;we do not have complete access to, or use of, the land underlying the acquired towers, (iii)&#160;we discover that the towers or other communications infrastructure have structural issues (such as overloading) (iv)&#160;the towers or other assets do not achieve the financial results anticipated, or (v)&#160;there are historic liabilities attaching to the acquired assets that we are unable to successfully recover under an indemnity, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. Furthermore, some sellers may or may not have the financial capacity to support a subsequent claim against them. While we acquire representation and warranty insurance in some of our transactions, such policies typically contain certain exclusions that would limit our ability to recover certain losses.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">In addition, the process of integrating acquired assets or businesses into our operations has resulted in and may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and large expenditures and may absorb significant management attention that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development of our business.

We also may incur unexpected or contingent liabilities in connection with acquisitions. We may also be unable to retain or replace key personnel of an acquired business, or recruit key personnel in the case of acquired assets, which could reduce the value of the acquisition and prevent us from realizing our strategic goals. In certain instances, including pursuant to the TIM Fiber Acquisition and the MTN SA Acquisition, we may also rely on transition services arrangements with external parties to support the operation of acquired assets while they are fully integrated. These risks may be exacerbated in material acquisitions. Further, such material acquisitions may exacerbate the risks inherent with our growth strategy, such as (i)&#160;an adverse impact on our overall profitability if the acquired towers or business does not achieve the financial results estimated in our valuation models, (ii)&#160;unanticipated costs associated with the acquisitions that may impact our results of operations for a period, (iii)&#160;increased demands on our cash resources or increased debt on our balance sheet that may, among other things, impact our ability to explore other opportunities, (iv)&#160;undisclosed and assumed liabilities that we may be unable to recover, (v)&#160;increased vulnerability to general economic conditions, (vi)&#160;an adverse impact on our existing customer relationships, (vii)&#160;additional expenses and exposure to new regulatory, political and economic risks if such acquisitions were in new jurisdictions and (viii)&#160;diversion of managerial attention.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Furthermore, our international expansion initiatives are subject to additional risks such as complex laws, regulations and business practices that may require additional resources and personnel.

We cannot provide an estimate of the time required or costs expected to be incurred in connection with implementing a remediation plan. Remediation measures may be time consuming, costly, and might place significant demands on our financial and operational resources.

Expectations regarding voluntary ESG initiatives and disclosures and consumer demand for alternative forms of energy may result in increased costs (including but not limited to increased costs related to compliance, stakeholder engagement, contracting and insurance), changes in demand for certain products, enhanced compliance or disclosure obligations, or other adverse impacts to our business, financial condition, or results of operations.</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt;">While we may at times engage in voluntary initiatives (such as voluntary disclosures, certifications, or goals, among others) or commitments, such as our Carbon Reduction Roadmap, to improve the ESG profile of our company and/or offerings or respond to stakeholder demand, such initiatives or achievement of such commitments may be costly and may not have the desired effect. Our estimates and projections regarding the implementation of such initiatives and goals, and the savings achieved from their implementation, are subject to various risks and uncertainties. For example, we may ultimately be unable to complete certain initiatives or targets, either on the timelines initially announced or at all, due to technological, cost, or other constraints, which may be within or outside of our control. Our ESG efforts may also include the adoption, or expansion, of certain ESG practices or policies, which may require us to expend additional resources to implement or to forego certain business opportunities to the extent others in our value chain do not meet pertinent requirements of such policies. By contrast, any failure, or perceived failure, to conform to such policies could have an adverse impact on our reputation and business activities. Moreover, actions or statements that we take are in many cases based on expectations, assumptions, or third-party information, which may require substantial discretion and forecasts about costs and future circumstances. While we currently believe such expectations, assumptions, and third-party information to be reasonable, it may subsequently be determined to be erroneous or be subject to misinterpretation. Even if this is not the case, our current efforts may subsequently be determined to be insufficient by various stakeholders, and we may be subject to various adverse consequences or investor or regulator engagement on our ESG initiatives and disclosures, including potential enforcement and litigation, even if such initiatives are currently voluntary. Our performance may be subject to greater scrutiny as a result of our announcement of any goals or policies and the publication of our performance against the same. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="font-size:9pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt;">Moreover, despite the voluntary nature of such efforts, we may receive pressure from external sources, such as lenders, investors or other groups, to adopt more aggressive climate or other ESG-related initiatives; however, we may not agree that such initiatives will be appropriate for our business, and we may not be able to implement such initiatives because of potential costs or technical or operational obstacles. Certain market participants, including major institutional investors and capital providers, use third-party benchmarks and scores to assess companies&#8217; ESG profiles in making investment or voting decisions. Unfavorable ESG ratings could lead to increased negative investor sentiment towards us, which could negatively impact our share price as well as our access to and cost of capital. To the extent ESG matters negatively impact our reputation, it may also impede our ability to compete as effectively to attract and retain employees, customers, or business partners, which may adversely impact our operations. In addition, we expect there will likely be increasing levels of regulation, disclosure-related and otherwise, with respect to ESG matters. For example, the SEC has proposed rules that would require companies to provide significantly expanded climate-related disclosures in their periodic reporting, which may require us to incur significant additional costs to comply, including the implementation of significant additional internal controls processes and procedures regarding matters that have not been subject to such controls in the past, and impose increased oversight obligations on our management and board of directors. This and other stakeholder expectations will likely lead to increased costs as well as scrutiny that could heighten all of the risks identified in this risk factor. Such ESG matters may also impact our suppliers and customers, which may compound or cause new impacts on our business, financial condition or results of operations, including risks which may not be known to us. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">We rely on key management personnel and any inability to recruit, train, retain and motivate key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">We believe that the current management team contributes significant experience and expertise to the management and growth of the business.

Although we believe our employee salary and benefit packages are generally competitive with those of our competitors, if our competitors are able to offer more generous salary and benefit packages in the future, we may face difficulties in retaining skilled employees. In addition, we have at times experienced a loss of personnel due to migration from the markets in which we operate.

Our losses were principally due to depreciation and amortization and finance costs, which includes realized and unrealized losses from foreign exchange movements, in each respective year. As a result of our acquisitions and exposure to foreign exchange movements, we expect our depreciation and amortization and finance costs to continue to be significant and may increase as a result of our planned growth strategy or foreign exchange volatility. If we incur losses in the future, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">We do not always operate with the required approvals and licenses for some of our sites, particularly where assets are acquired from third parties or where it is unclear whether a certain license or permit is required or where there is a significant lead time required for processing the application, and therefore may be subject to reprimands, warnings and fines for non-compliance with the relevant licensing and approval requirements.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Although we generally seek and obtain the requisite federal, national, state and/or local approvals prior to the commencement of tower construction, it is often unclear whether certain, particularly local, permits are required and, in some circumstances, local authorities have imposed permit requirements retrospectively. In instances where we acquire assets from third parties, the prior owners of those assets may not have had the requisite federal, national, state and local approvals for certain of the sites we are acquiring. There is sometimes a long lead-time required for processing applications for approvals and licenses from the local authorities, including construction and building permits required from certain state authorities to construct or build any structure and environmental approvals. See Item&#160;4.B. &#8220;Business Overview &#8201;&#8212;&#8201;Permits and Regulation&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;License to operate.&#8221; Although we make payments in relation to the relevant permits when required, the delay encountered in receiving the permits, licenses or certificates means that we may, therefore, in limited instances, proceed with and complete tower construction and base transmission sites installation for Tenants before all required approvals and licenses have been formally issued by local authorities. As we look to expand our offering to further include services like fiber connectivity, rural offerings and other verticals, we may be subject to increased regulatory, license and permit obligations (including in respect of active telecommunications elements that may comprise part of the arrangements with customers, such as for rural offerings, which may be based on an &#8220;open RAN&#8221; architecture). We may or may not be able to meet any and all such obligations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Although we believe these practices are customary in the telecommunications industry in the countries in which we operate, there can be no assurance that the relevant authorities will issue the licenses or approvals, if required, or that they will be issued in a timely manner or as expected. If such approvals and licenses are required and not obtained, the local or state authorities may impose penalties, such as reprimands, warnings and fines, for non-compliance with the relevant licensing and approval requirements. In addition, in some jurisdictions, federal, national, state and local authorities charge taxes and levies in relation to similar services, for example tenement rates and environmental permits for our sites. This leads to confusion over which authority should be paid the relevant levy and in many cases we must wait for a demand to be made before we can make the payment.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Additionally, certain authorities have recently become more aggressive in setting of permit fees, the enforcement of permits and collection of payments, or may become more so in the event the profile of a business is perceived to have increased. In an extreme case, local authorities may prevent us from entering our sites or demand that we dismantle the unlicensed towers, which has occurred in certain limited cases. For example, in Nigeria, it was publicly reported in 2019 that the NCAA threatened to decommission and dismantle a number of Glo towers for safety violations including failure to obtain the statutory aviation height clearance certificate. It is reported that while no towers were ultimately decommissioned or dismantled by the NCAA, this was due to the affected operators complying with demands. In addition, in December 2019 the Federal Capital Development Authority, or FCDA, stopped the issuance of permits to communications infrastructure companies in the Federal Capital Territory while it sought to review and increase fees. The FCDA briefly resumed issuing new permits in 2021 which, following a further stoppage, resumed again during 2022 following the intervention of the regulator, the Nigerian Communications Commission, or NCC. However, while permit issuance may have resumed, the final outcome of the intervention is still awaited.

If we are required to pay additional levies, penalties or fees, or relocate a material number of our Towers and cannot locate replacement sites that are acceptable to our customers, this could adversely affect revenue and cash flow, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Our business is subject to regulations, including those governing telecommunications, as well as the construction and operation of Towers, and any changes in current or future laws or regulations could restrict our ability to operate our business.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our business, and that of our customers, is subject to national, state and local regulations governing telecommunications as well as the construction and operation of Towers. These regulations and opposition from local zoning authorities and community organizations against construction in their communities could delay, prevent or increase the cost of new tower construction, modifications, additions of new antennas to a site, or site upgrades, thereby limiting our ability to respond to customer demands and requirements. In addition, certain licenses and permits for the operation of Towers may be subjected to additional terms, conditions or fees/levies (which may be new and unexpected, as a consequence, for example, of a perceived increase in a business&#8217;s profile or growth) or new permits imposed on existing sites, with which we cannot comply. As public concern over tower proliferation has grown in recent&#160;years, including as a result of concerns about alleged health risks, some communities now also try to restrict tower construction, delay granting permits or require certain towers to be dismantled and relocated. On the other hand, governments and regulators may impose additional requirements on businesses such as ours or our customers based on wider socio-economic considerations, including, potentially, requirements to construct new sites in more remote or rural areas (or regulatory actions or pressure on pricing or packages on our customers or us, including potentially imposition of local currency pricing, as may have been seen in some markets) to increase geographical and network coverage to larger parts of a population (which may be less commercially viable for us) or make services available at lower or fixed tariffs. Existing regulatory policies and changes in such policies may materially and adversely affect the associated timing or cost of such projects and/or the costs attributable to our usual business operations, and additional regulations may be adopted which increase delays, or result in additional costs, or that prevent completion of projects in certain locations. As we look to expand our offering to further include services like fiber connectivity, rural offerings and other verticals, we may be subject to increased regulatory, license and permit obligations (including in respect of active telecommunications elements that may comprise part of the arrangements with customers, such as for rural offerings which may be based on an &#8220;open RAN&#8221; architecture). We may or may not be able to meet any and all such obligations. Any imposition of new regulations, fees or levies, or failure to complete new tower construction, modifications, additions of new antennas to a site, or site upgrades could harm our ability to add additional site space and grow our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our operations are also subject to various other laws and regulations that affect our business, such as those related to labor, tax, employment (including new minimum wage regulations), unions, health and safety, antitrust and competition, environmental protection, consumer protection, data privacy and protection, import/export, foreign exchange or currency, and anti-bribery, corruption and money laundering. We or our employees, subcontractors or agents could take actions that might violate any of these requirements.

If our revenue declines, we may not be able to raise additional funds through debt or equity financing (or any debt or equity financing may not be on acceptable terms). Moreover, restrictive debt covenants under current and future indebtedness may limit our ability to raise any such further financing (or refinance existing financing) and also our ability to support our growth strategy, including making strategic acquisitions. Additionally, political instability, a downturn in the economy and/or disruption in the financial and credit markets, foreign currency fluctuations, social unrest or changes in the regulatory environment (including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or resulting effects, or any other future coronavirus or other outbreaks or events with a wide-ranging regional or global impact) could increase the cost of borrowing or restrict our ability to obtain financing for future acquisitions and other growth or cost reduction opportunities.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">28</p></div></div>

If we experienced any significant disruption to our ERP that we are unable to mitigate, or if any upgrades are significantly delayed or the system does not perform in a satisfactory manner or in line with business requirements, it could introduce operational risk, including cybersecurity risks, and other complications, be disruptive, and could have a material adverse effect on our operations, including our ability to report accurate, timely and consistent financial results or otherwise maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or our ability to integrate new acquisitions into our systems. We may also lose an opportunity to further improve business efficiency, process standardization, and internal controls over financial reporting across our operations. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><span style="font-size:9pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Furthermore, the implementation of any ERP system upgrade or any remediation of our key information systems requires investment of capital and human resources, including substantial expenditures for outside consultants, system hardware and software in addition to other expenses, the re-engineering of business processes, and the attention of many employees who would otherwise be focused on other areas of our business. We may also experience delays, increased costs and other difficulties, including potential design defects, re-work due to changes in business plans or reporting standards, and </p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">29</p></div></div>

While we strive to obtain contractual indemnities and insurance protections from our maintenance subcontractors and suppliers with respect to damage to our property and those of our customers, such contractual rights to indemnity may not adequately cover all losses and/or we may not be able to recover such losses due to protracted litigation, defenses successfully raised by the counterparty and/or insolvency of the subcontractor or supplier, which may lead to increased costs and in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">We rely on key information technology systems, which may be vulnerable to physical or digital/electronic damage, security breaches or cyber-attacks that could have a material adverse effect on our reputation as well as our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</b></p><a id="_Hlk127356192"></a><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We rely on information technology to conduct our daily business, procure products, pay suppliers, communicate internally and externally, share files, and efficiently and accurately provide services to our customers and monitor our operations, including via the operation of our network operations centers, which is key to our site maintenance and performance management. While we seek to apply best practice policies and internal controls, and devote significant resources to network security and other security measures to protect our information technology and communications systems and data, these measures cannot provide absolute security. In addition, the tools used by cyber criminals continue to evolve in order to circumvent such security measures and maximize the potential damage of a successful attack. Some of our networks are also managed by third-party service providers and are not under our direct control. Third (and beyond) parties have been a popular attack vector for cyber criminals, and depending on the nature of the relationship with some of these partners, we sometimes use their code, software, human-power, networks, or give them access to our servers and data, among many other scenarios. A security vulnerability at any of these third-party partners could potentially provide an opportunity for a cyber criminal to reach or damage our networks or data. Despite existing security measures, certain parts of our infrastructure, including, for example, our fiber infrastructure network for the provision of residential broadband services to consumers, may be vulnerable to damage, disruptions, or shutdowns due to unauthorized access, software bugs, phishing attacks, employee errors, computer viruses, cyber-attacks, and other security breaches, particularly in times of increased usage and reliance such as during and following the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, many types of cyberattacks are designed to be difficult to detect in order to harvest as much data or cause as much systemic damage as possible before detection. As a result, in the event of a cyberattack our systems could be compromised without our knowledge for a period of time before the attack is detected and addressed. The performance of our information technology systems may also be impacted by certain operating conditions in our jurisdictions of operation, including lack of reliable power supply, shortages in replacement parts, as well as general security conditions. In addition, if our employees are required to work from home as a result of global or regional health pandemics, our information technologies and systems may be particularly strained or increasingly vulnerable. An attack attempt or security breach, such as a distributed denial of service attack, or damage caused by other means could potentially result in the interruption or cessation of certain or all of our services to our customers, our inability to meet expected levels of service or data transmitted over our customers&#8217; networks being compromised, as well as other unforeseen damages. In the event of a potential breach, while we would endeavor to comply with any applicable requirements to inform impacted parties within a reasonable time, priority may be given to containing and eliminating the cyberattack in order to limit the damage; which as a result could potentially delay our communication of the identified attack to customers, suppliers, concerned agencies or authorities or other relevant parties.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">In addition, we may collect, store and process certain sensitive data (either in respect of our personnel, or from our customers, end-users or suppliers), which makes us a potentially vulnerable target to cyber-attacks, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins or similar disruptions or data theft. While we have taken steps to protect the confidential information that we have access to, our security measures could be breached. Because the techniques used to sabotage or obtain unauthorized access to systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until they are launched against a target, we may not be able to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures.

Security breaches or unauthorized access to confidential information could also expose us to liability related to the loss of the information, time-consuming and expensive litigation and negative publicity. If our security measures are breached because of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, or if design flaws in our technology infrastructure are exposed and exploited, our relationships (in particular, those with our customers) could be severely damaged, we could incur significant liability and it could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. Moreover, as a result of the increasing awareness concerning the importance of safeguarding personal information, the potential misuse of such information and legislation that has been adopted or is being considered in some of our markets regarding the protection, privacy and security of personal information, information-related risks are increasing. Failure to comply with any such data protection laws may result in, among other consequences, fines, litigation or regulatory actions. Any failure or perceived failure by us to prevent information security breaches or to comply with privacy policies or privacy-related legal obligations, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized release or transfer of personally identifiable information or other customer or end-user data, could cause our customers to lose trust in us and could expose us to legal claims.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We cannot guarantee that our security and power back-up measures will not be circumvented or fail, resulting in customer network failures or interruptions that could impact our customers&#8217; network availability, potentially resulting in penalties for failure to meet targeted quality levels, as well as otherwise having a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition and/or operational results. We may be required to spend significant resources to protect against or recover from such threats and attacks. In addition, as we implement new information technology systems, we cannot guarantee that our new security measures will be sufficient. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed, and we could lose customers. Further, the perpetrators of cyber-attacks are not restricted to particular groups or persons. Our employees or external actors operating in any geography may commit these attacks. Any such events could result in legal claims or penalties, disruption in operations, misappropriation of sensitive data, damage to our reputation, negative market perception, or costly response measures, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We could have liability under health, safety and environmental laws or fail to accurately report on or meet our sustainability metrics and targets.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our operations are subject to the requirements of various environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations, including those relating to the management, use, storage, disposal, emission and remediation of, and exposure to, hazardous and non-hazardous substances, materials, waste, as well as items related to our day-to-day operations such as transport and construction. As an operator of communications infrastructure that has a heavy reliance on diesel, we may purchase diesel in large quantities that is then stored at our facilities. As the owner, lessee or operator of these facilities, we may be liable for substantial costs or remediation under health, safety and environment laws in the event that there is leakage or spillage from these storage facilities. As the owner, lessee or operator of communications sites, we may be liable for the substantial costs of remediating soil and groundwater contaminated by hazardous materials, without regard to whether we, as the owner, lessee or operator, knew of or were responsible for the contamination. Many of these laws and regulations contain information reporting and record-keeping requirements, which may be burdensome for us or have high costs associated with compliance, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">There can be no assurance that we are or will be in full compliance with all environmental requirements at all times. For example many of our sites rely on the use of carbon-emitting power systems, and at the time of acquisition, certain towers acquired from other companies may not be compliant with environmental regulations or may lack certain environmental permits. We may be subject to potentially significant fines, penalties or criminal sanctions if we fail to comply with any of these requirements. The requirements of these laws and regulations are complex, change frequently, and could become more stringent in the future. It is possible that liabilities will arise in the future in a manner that could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Failure to provide a safe and healthy working environment in accordance with the relevant applicable legislation, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and related measures imposed in many of the markets in which we operate, may result in government authorities forcing closure of sites on a temporary or permanent basis or refusing lease or license applications. Working conditions, including aspects such as weather and temperature, can add to the inherent dangers.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">While we have invested, and will continue to invest, substantial resources in our occupational health and safety programs, there can be no assurance that we will avoid significant liability exposure.

Non-compliance with critical controls is a common failure in safety incidents which can lead to loss of life, workplace injuries and safety-related stoppages, all of which immediately impact operational performance and, in the long term, threaten our ability to operate as intended.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Given the high degree of operational risk in our industry, we have suffered fatalities in the past and may suffer additional fatalities in the future. Serious accidents, including fatalities, may subject us to civil or criminal fines and penalties, liability to employees and third parties for injury, illness, or death and other financial consequences, which may be significant. In addition, if our safety record were to deteriorate over time or we were to suffer substantial penalties or criminal prosecution for violation of health and safety regulations, our customers could cancel our contracts and elect to procure future services from other providers. Unsafe work sites also have the potential to increase employee turnover, increase the costs of projects for our customers, and raise our operating costs. We could also suffer impairment to our reputation, industrial action or difficulty in recruiting and retaining skilled employees and contractors. Any future changes in laws, regulations or community expectations governing safety of our operations could result in increased compliance and remediation costs.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Any of the foregoing developments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and/or financial condition. Moreover, there has been increasing public focus, including by investors, customers, environmental activists, the media and governmental and nongovernmental organizations, on a variety of environmental, social and other sustainability matters. This emphasis on environmental, social and other sustainability matters has resulted and may result in the adoption of new laws and regulations, including new reporting requirements as well as our adoption of new voluntary reporting. If we fail to comply with new laws, regulations or reporting requirements or there are inaccuracies in our reporting or we fail to achieve expected or anticipated metrics, targets or sustainability initiatives, our reputation and business could be materially adversely impacted.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Revenue and/or costs could be adversely affected due to perceived health risks from radio emissions, particularly if these perceived risks are substantiated.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Public perception of possible health risks, including any perceived connection between radio frequency emissions associated with cellular and other wireless communications technology and certain negative health effects, could interrupt or slow the growth of wireless companies. In particular, negative public perception of, and regulations regarding, these perceived health risks could increase opposition to the development and expansion of tower sites. There have been instances in certain telecommunication markets globally where towers have been vandalized due to perceived health risks associated with 5G technology, including potentially related to COVID-19 as well. The potential connection between radio frequency emissions and certain negative health effects has been the subject of substantial study by the scientific community in recent&#160;years, and numerous health-related lawsuits have been filed around the world against wireless carriers and wireless device manufacturers. If a scientific study or court decision resulted in a finding that radio frequency emissions posed health risks to consumers, it could negatively impact the market for wireless services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operation. We do not maintain any significant insurance with respect to these matters.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">We may experience local community opposition to some of our sites or other communications infrastructure.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">It is normal in the industry to experience, and we may in the future experience, local community opposition to our existing tower sites or the construction of new towers or deployment of other communications infrastructure assets for various reasons, including concerns about alleged health risks and noise or nuisance complaints. See &#8220;&#8212; Revenue and/or costs could be adversely affected due to perceived health risks from radio emissions, particularly if these perceived risks are substantiated.&#8221; As a result of such local community opposition, we could be required by the local authorities to dismantle and relocate certain tower sites or other communications infrastructure. If we are required to relocate certain tower sites or other communications infrastructure and cannot locate replacement sites that are acceptable to our customers, it could materially and adversely affect our revenue and cash flow, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Our insurance may not provide adequate coverage for natural disasters, security breaches and other unforeseen events.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">We may not carry insurance for all categories of risk that our business may encounter.

Any damage or destruction to our towers as a result of these or other risks would impact our ability to provide services to our customers. While we maintain insurance to cover the cost of replacing damaged towers, and business interruption insurance and general liability insurance to protect ourselves in the event of an accident involving a tower, we might have claims that exceed our coverage under our insurance policy or claims may be denied and, as a result, the insurance may not be adequate. Insurance may not adequately cover all lost revenue, including revenue lost from new tenants that could have been added to the towers but for the damage. In addition, while we maintain insurance coverage with respect to certain claims, we may not be able to renew or obtain such insurance on acceptable terms in the future, if at all, and any such insurance may not provide adequate coverage against any such claims. Any significant uninsured losses or liabilities may require us to pay substantial amounts, which would reduce our working capital and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations. If we are unable to obtain adequate insurance coverage or provide services to our customers as a result of damage to our towers, it could lead to customer loss, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">While we seek to purchase insurance from financially strong, reputable insurance companies there can be no guarantee that such insurers will be able to pay claims when they arise due to liquidity or solvency reasons.

Upon acquisition of a new Tower, we update and conduct maintenance to bring such Towers into compliance with our operational and safety standards. The collapse of a Tower, or portion of a Tower, due to known defects we have been unable to address or unforeseen defects, or due to improper maintenance or otherwise, could cause injury to or death of individuals or damage to surrounding property. Further, maintenance work on Towers is inherently dangerous and accidents could result in injury to or death of maintenance workers or other parties. Any such damage or accident could subject us to third-party claims regarding our potential liability, even in cases where we have outsourced maintenance work to third parties. We could incur significant costs defending any such claims and, if we were found liable, paying any resulting claims, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We are subject to the effects of climate change.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">There are inherent climate-related risks wherever business is conducted. Certain of our facilities, including our Towers, as well as third-party infrastructure on which we rely, are located in areas that have experienced, and are projected to continue to experience, various meteorological phenomena (such as drought, heatwaves, wildfire, storms, and flooding, among others) or other catastrophic events that may disrupt our or our suppliers&#8217; operations, cause damage or loss to our Towers or other assets, limit the availability of resources, result in additional costs, delay or prevent the completion of projects in certain locations, or otherwise adversely impact our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Climate change may increase the frequency and/or intensity of such events. Climate change may also contribute to various chronic changes in the physical environment, such as sea-level rise or changes in ambient temperature or precipitation patterns, which may also adversely impact our or our suppliers&#8217; operations. Some countries in which we operate rely on the generation of electricity through hydro-electric schemes. If changing weather patterns cause water shortages or prolonged droughts in those countries or regions, that may affect our ability to deliver services to our customers. While we may take various actions to mitigate our business risks associated with climate change, this may require us to incur substantial costs and may not be successful, due to, among other things, the uncertainty associated with the longer-term projections associated with managing climate risk.

In certain of the jurisdictions in which we operate, there may be a higher likelihood that such actions, proceedings, claims and disputes may be brought by governments, regulators, entities or individuals for fees, taxes or other payments, even if meritless or frivolous under applicable law, and these actions, proceedings, claims and disputes may increase as the profile of our business rises along with the continued growth and development of our business. Any such investigations, actions, litigation, disputes or proceedings, as well as lawsuits initiated by us for the collection of payables, may be costly, may in certain circumstances require us to dismantle tower sites, may be harmful to our reputation and may divert significant management attention and other resources away from the business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Similarly, any material litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business and we may not have established adequate provisions for any potential losses associated with litigation not otherwise covered by insurance, which could have a material adverse effect on our prospects, business, financial condition and/or results of operations. Additionally, any negative outcome with respect to any legal actions in which we are involved in the future could require payment of fines, penalties or judgments in amounts that could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">It is possible that disputes with customers could lead to a termination of agreements with customers or a material modification of the terms of those agreements, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. If we are forced to resolve any of these disputes through litigation, our relationship with the applicable customer could be terminated or damaged, which could lead to decreased revenue or increased costs, and could have a material adverse effect on our reputation as well as our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In addition, we have been, are and may in the future be, subject to regulatory and/or law enforcement investigations, actions or proceedings from time to time. In 2017, certain of our bank accounts had &#8220;post no debit&#8221; restrictions placed on them during the course of certain inquiries by the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, or EFCC, and, until the restriction on the bank accounts was lifted during the latter half of 2018, we were unable to access approximately $197 million. Currently, no amounts remain restricted pursuant to those restrictions (and we were not notified of any formal allegation or investigation against us), however we cannot guarantee that regulators or other authorities or agencies will not take a similar approach should they undertake investigations or inquiries in the future, irrespective of the veracity of any potential claim or severity of any potential outcome.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In 2019, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act, or FCCP Act, became law, introducing competition regulations in Nigeria. Pursuant to the FCCP Act, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, or FCCPC, is authorized to designate the market share that would constitute a dominant market share for the purposes of the FCCP Act. The FCCPC has overarching powers to regulate competition in Nigeria, and when its regulatory powers overlap with those of an industry-specific regulator, such as the NCC in the area of competition and consumer protection, the FCCPC takes precedence and the two bodies must otherwise work together to regulate competition in that specific industry. Given that we are the leading provider of passive communications infrastructure services in Nigeria, the FCCPC and the NCC may determine that we are in a dominant position in the market and, in an effort to ensure that there is no abuse of market position, may commence a regulatory inquiry or action, levy fines, or otherwise require pricing or other modifications of our contract terms or impose restrictions on our ability to build New Sites or operate existing sites. In addition, where we are required to appear before the tribunal of the NCC, the tribunal has the power under certain circumstances to order us to sell a portion or all of our shares, interests or assets.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Additionally, in the ordinary course of business, we are subject to regular tax reviews. For example, following a detailed tax audit undertaken in 2018 in Nigeria, all matters were settled with no additional material liability (though some tax payments were made). A number of tax audits have been raised in multiple jurisdictions, some of which are ongoing, including in Nigeria. There can be no assurance that such ongoing audits or future audits will not result in material liability which could, in turn, have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">34</p></div></div>

We do not believe that we currently are or have been a PFIC for the taxable year ending December 31, 2022, and we do not expect to be a PFIC in the future. However, the determination of whether we are a PFIC is a factual determination made annually based on all the facts and circumstances after the close of each taxable&#160;year, and the principles and methodology used in determining whether a company is a PFIC are subject to ambiguities and different interpretations. Therefore, we cannot assure you that we will not be a PFIC for the current taxable&#160;year or in the future. If we are a PFIC, United States shareholders would be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences. United States purchasers of our ordinary shares are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning United States federal income tax consequences of holding our ordinary shares if we are considered to be a PFIC.

A United States shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation may be required to report annually and include in its U.S. taxable income its pro rata share of &#8220;Subpart F income,&#8221; &#8220;global intangible low-taxed income,&#8221; and investments in U.S. property by controlled foreign corporations, regardless of whether the Company makes any distributions. An individual that is a United States shareholder with respect to a controlled foreign corporation generally would not be allowed certain tax deductions or foreign tax credits that would be allowed to a United States shareholder that is a U.S. corporation. Failure to comply with these reporting obligations may subject a United States shareholder to significant monetary penalties and may prevent the statute of limitations with respect to such United States shareholder&#8217;s U.S. federal income tax return for the&#160;year for which reporting was due from starting. The Company cannot provide any assurances that it will assist holders of the ordinary shares in determining whether any of its non-U.S. subsidiaries is treated as a controlled foreign corporation or whether any holder of the ordinary shares is treated as a United States shareholder with respect to any such controlled foreign corporation or furnish to any United States shareholders information that may be necessary to comply with the aforementioned reporting and tax paying obligations. A U.S. Holder (as defined in Item&#160;10.E. &#8220;Taxation&#8212;Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.&#8221;) should consult its advisors regarding the potential application of these rules&#160;to an investment in the ordinary shares.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Changes in our rates of taxation, and audits, investigations and tax proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and/or results of operation.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We are subject to direct and indirect taxes in numerous jurisdictions. We calculate and provide for such taxes in each tax jurisdiction in which we operate. The amount of tax we pay is subject to our interpretation of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we file. We will seek to run IHS Holding Limited in such a way that it is and remains tax resident in the United Kingdom. We have taken and will continue to take tax positions based on our interpretation of tax laws, but tax and/or accounting often involves complex matters and judgement is required in determining our worldwide provision for taxes and other tax liabilities.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Although we believe that we have complied with all applicable tax laws, there can be no assurance that a taxing authority will not have a different interpretation of the law and assess us with additional taxes (and possibly related interest and/or penalties).</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">We are subject to ongoing tax audits in various jurisdictions. Tax authorities have disagreed, and may in the future disagree, with our judgements. We regularly assess the likely outcomes of these audits to determine the appropriateness of our tax liabilities. However, our judgements might not be sustained as a result of these audits, and the amounts ultimately paid could be different from the amounts previously recorded and such amounts could be material. In addition, our effective tax rate in the future could be adversely affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in tax laws. Tax rates in the jurisdictions in which we operate may change as a result of macroeconomic, political or other factors. Increases in the tax rate in any of the jurisdictions in which we operate could have a negative impact on our profitability. In addition, changes in tax laws, treaties or regulations, or their interpretation or enforcement, may be unpredictable, particularly in the types of markets in which we </p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">35</p></div></div>

In addition, our tax treatment may also be affected by tax policy initiatives and reforms related to the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development, or the OECD, the work of the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Pillar One and Pillar Two and other initiatives.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Such changes may include (but are not limited to) the taxation of operating income, investment income, interest income, dividends received or dividends paid. We are unable to predict what tax reform may be proposed or enacted in the future, possibly with retroactive effect, or what effect such changes would have on us. Any such changes could affect our financial position and overall or effective tax rates in countries where we have operations, reduce post-tax returns to our shareholders, and increase the complexity, burden and cost of tax compliance.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In July 2022, the UK government published legislation implementing the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework Pillar Two. This will apply a top-up tax to subsidiaries of groups headed by UK resident companies with annual group revenue exceeding &#8364;750 million. &#160;A tax liability may apply in cases where profits arise to group entities in jurisdictions which are taxed below the minimum rate of 15%. &#160;In the case of IHS Holding Limited, this is expected to apply for the year ended December 31, 2024 onwards. &#160;In December 2022, the United Arab Emirates published legislation to introduce corporate income tax on certain categories of income which may apply to our companies resident in the United Arab Emirates from the year ended December 31, 2024 onwards. &#160;While these changes have not yet been substantively enacted in the United Kingdom or United Arab Emirates, if enacted they could have a material adverse impact on our operations and post-tax returns to our shareholders. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Certain countries in which we operate may treat the indirect change of ownership of our subsidiaries as triggering tax charges.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Changes in the indirect ownership of our subsidiaries resulting from a transfer of our shares can represent a taxable event in certain circumstances in some jurisdictions in which certain of our subsidiaries are located. The applicable taxes may include taxes on capital gains and transfer taxes. Depending on the jurisdiction, the liability can potentially fall on our shareholders (existing or new) or one of our underlying subsidiaries. In jurisdictions where such rules&#160;apply, the scope of the legislation and the practical application by the tax authorities can be somewhat uncertain and therefore there is a risk of such liabilities arising, either to one of our subsidiaries or to a shareholder.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We believe that, based on advice from a leading third-party tax expert in the area, the issuance of new shares would not give rise to any such capital gains or transfer tax liabilities.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">However, in several jurisdictions in which we operate (excluding Nigeria, the most material jurisdiction to us) it is possible that transfers of our shares could still give rise to tax liabilities for our shareholders. Some of the relevant jurisdictions do not provide clear guidance to exempt the sale of listed shares from the scope of these rules&#160;and there may be a higher risk with regards to substantial disposals or acquisitions of our shares. We will take all steps which are reasonably possible within the legislation of the relevant jurisdictions to mitigate such risks for shareholders, but cannot guarantee that the relevant tax authorities will not seek to impose capital gains or transfer taxes on a shareholder upon transfers of our shares. Prospective purchasers should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of these rules&#160;to an investment in our shares.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">We are exposed to the risk of violations of anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws or other similar regulations.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">We operate and conduct business in various emerging and less developed markets (including Africa, the Middle East and Latin America), and we may expand into additional markets, which at times experience high levels of fraud, bribery and corruption. We are subject to the applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations of the markets in which we operate, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, or the FCPA, and the UK Bribery Act 2010, or the UK Bribery Act.

We also periodically enter into joint ventures with government ministries, departments and agencies in the ordinary course of our business. The employees of these regulators and government ministries, departments and agencies may be considered government officials for the purposes of the FCPA. The provisions of the UK Bribery Act extend beyond bribery of government officials and are broader than the FCPA in a number of other respects, including jurisdiction, non-exemption of facilitation payments and penalties. In particular, the UK Bribery Act (unlike the FCPA) also applies to the active payment of bribes to private persons (i.e. non-government officials) as well as the passive receiving of bribes. Furthermore, unlike the vicarious liability regime under the FCPA, whereby corporate entities can be liable for the acts of its employees, the UK Bribery Act introduced a new offense applicable to corporate entities and partnerships which carry on part of their business in the United Kingdom that fail to prevent bribery, which can take place anywhere in the world, by persons who perform services for or on behalf of them, subject to a defense of having adequate procedures in place to prevent the bribery from occurring. The offense can render parties criminally liable for the acts of their agents, joint venture partners, or commercial partners even if done without their knowledge.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Public companies listed in the United States are required to maintain records that accurately and fairly represent their transactions and have an adequate system of internal accounting controls. We maintain internal controls, policies, procedures and training to ensure compliance by us and our directors, officers, employees, representatives, consultants, and agents with the FCPA, UK Bribery Act and other applicable anti-corruption laws and make efforts to ensure their effectiveness. However, we can make no assurance that the controls, policies and procedures, even if enhanced, have been or will be followed at all times or effectively detect and prevent all violations of the applicable laws and every instance of fraud, bribery and corruption. As a result, we could be subject to potential civil or criminal penalties, disgorgement and other sanctions and remedial measures and legal expenses under the relevant applicable law, which could have material adverse effects on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations if we fail to prevent any such violations or are the subject of investigations into potential violations, which may result in a significant diversion of management&#8217;s attention and resources and significant defense costs and other professional fees. In addition, such violations could also negatively impact our reputation and, consequently, our ability to win future business. Any such violation by competitors, if undetected, could give them an unfair advantage when bidding for contracts. The consequences that we may suffer due to the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">We are subject to certain export controls, trade and economic sanctions laws and regulations that could impair our ability to compete in international markets and subject us to liability for non-compliance.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our business activities may, at times, be subject to various export controls and trade and economic sanctions laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the U.S. Commerce Department&#8217;s Export Administration Regulations, the trade and economic sanctions programs administered and enforced by the U.S. Treasury Department&#8217;s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, and the U.S. State Department&#8217;s Nonproliferation Sanctions, collectively, &#8220;Trade Controls&#8221;. Such Trade Controls may prohibit or restrict our ability to, directly or indirectly, conduct activities or dealings in or with certain countries or territories, &#160;as well as with governments, individuals or entities that are the subject of Trade Controls-related prohibitions and restrictions, collectively. Further, our sales and services to certain customers may at times trigger reporting requirements under applicable Trade Controls.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">For instance, the U.S. government has imposed export control restrictions effectively barring sales of items (including components and software) that are subject to U.S. export controls to, among other parties, Huawei and certain other China-based technology companies with whom we conduct business.

Achievement of B-BBEE objectives is measured by a scorecard which establishes a weighting for the various components of B-BBEE which relate to ownership, enterprise and supplier development and socio-economic development. B-BBEE objectives are pursued, in significant part, by requiring parties who contract with corporate, governmental and state-owned enterprises in South Africa to achieve B-BBEE compliance through satisfaction of an applicable scorecard. Scorecards are independently reviewed by accredited verification agencies which issue a certificate that presents an entity&#8217;s B-BEE contributor level. This B-BBEE verification process is conducted on an annual basis. As part of the MTN SA Acquisition, we agreed to achieve and maintain certain B-BBEE contributor levels beginning in fiscal year 2023. We are also required, including by the Competition Commission of South Africa, to achieve 30% B-BBEE ownership, as defined in the regulations governing the B-BBEE program, in our South African businesses. Failing to achieve or maintain the applicable B-BBEE requirements could jeopardize our ability to continue to do business or to secure future business in South Africa.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-style:italic;">Risks Relating to the Markets in which We Operate.</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our current operations are conducted in, and many of our customers are located in emerging markets.

Generally, investment in securities of issuers operating in emerging and less developed markets is only suitable for sophisticated investors who fully appreciate the significance of the risks involved and investors are urged to consult their own legal and financial advisors before making an investment in our ordinary shares. Investors should also note that emerging and less developed markets such as those in which we operate are subject to rapid change and that the information set forth in this Annual Report may become outdated relatively quickly.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Moreover, financial turmoil in any emerging market or less developed market or country tends to adversely affect prices in the financial markets of such markets, as investors move their money to more stable, developed markets. As has happened in the past, financial problems or an increase in the perceived risks associated with investing in other emerging economies could dampen foreign investment in the countries in which we operate and adversely affect the economies of such countries. In addition, during such times, companies that operate in emerging and less developed markets can face severe liquidity constraints as foreign funding sources, including availability of credit or debt financing, are withdrawn. Thus, even if the economies of the countries in which we operate remain relatively stable, financial turmoil in any emerging or less developed market or country could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Shortage of U.S. dollar, euro or other hard currency liquidity in the markets in which we operate may adversely affect our ability to service our foreign currency liabilities.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">There may be shortages in the availability of, or disruptions or other limitations in the supply of, foreign currencies in the countries in which we operate, whether as a result of economic reasons, monetary controls or otherwise. See also &#8220;&#8212; Some of the markets in which we currently, or may in the future, operate are dependent on commodities, and are therefore impacted by global prices and/or demand for such products&#8221; and &#8220;&#8212; Financial authorities in the markets in which we operate may intervene in the currency markets by drawing on external reserves, and their currencies are subject to volatility.&#8221; For example, there have historically been periods of significant shortage of U.S. dollar liquidity in Nigeria and the CBN imposed additional currency controls that restricted access to U.S. dollars in the official foreign exchange market. The reduced access to foreign exchange negatively impacted certain sectors of the Nigerian economy. However, since the introduction of the Investors and Exporters window in April&#160;2017, which created a market-driven price for foreign-exchange trading in Nigeria, the foreign exchange market generally experienced greater levels of stability, however there have still been periods of significant U.S. dollar liquidity shortage from time to time, including since 2021. In addition, in Nigeria, we continue to access USD through various sources and at various rates (including from commercial banks and authorized dealers using the I&amp;E window) and, in addition, at a premium to NAFEX through identified brokers. In this regard, we may suffer adverse economic consequences as a result of a divergence between the rates at which U.S. dollars are available in the market or as a result of the lack of availability or the shortage of U.S. dollars as stated above.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Should such controls and foreign currency liquidity shortages continue and/or occur in the markets in which we operate, we may face difficulties accessing foreign currency from foreign exchange markets or experience increased costs in sourcing foreign currency or otherwise which would impact our ability to obtain foreign currency required for some of our operations or to service some of our foreign currency obligations, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">We may make acquisitions in or investments into emerging and other less developed markets, and investments in emerging and less developed markets are subject to greater risks than developed markets and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">To the extent that we acquire assets or invest in other emerging and/or less developed markets, including in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America, additional risks may be encountered that could adversely affect our business. Such markets tend to have less developed economies and infrastructure and are often more vulnerable to economic and geopolitical challenges and may experience significant fluctuations in gross domestic product, interest rates and currency exchange rates, as well as civil disturbances, government instability, nationalization and expropriation of private assets and the imposition of taxes or other charges by government authorities.

Moreover, emerging and other less developed markets tend to be shallower and less liquid than more established markets which may adversely affect our ability to realize profits from our assets in these markets when we desire to do so or receive what we perceive to be their fair value in the event of a realization. In some cases, a market for realizing profits from an investment may not exist locally. In addition, companies based in emerging and other less developed markets are not generally subject to uniform accounting and financial reporting standards, practices and requirements comparable to those applicable to companies based in more developed countries, thereby potentially increasing the risk of fraud and other deceptive practices. Settlement of transactions may be subject to greater delay and administrative uncertainties than in developed markets and less complete and reliable financial and other information may be available to investors in emerging and other less developed markets than in developed markets. In addition, economic instability in such markets could adversely affect the value of our assets subject to leases in such countries, or the ability of our lessees or customers, which operate in these markets, to meet their contractual obligations. As a result, lessees or customers that operate in emerging and other less developed market countries may be more likely to default under their contractual obligations than those that operate in developed countries. Liquidity and volatility limitations in these markets may also adversely affect our ability to dispose of our assets at the best price available or in a timely manner.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">As we have and may continue to invest in or acquire assets located in emerging and less developed markets throughout the world, we may be exposed to any one or a combination of these risks, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Failure to adequately address the significant infrastructure deficiencies in emerging and less developed markets could adversely affect their economies and growth prospects, and companies operating in emerging and less developed markets may face logistical and operational difficulties.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Decades of under-investment have resulted in significant deterioration of public infrastructure and the absence of, or persistent problems with, basic infrastructure to support and sustain growth and economic development in many emerging and less developed markets, including some of those in which we operate, or may operate. In addition to power generation, transmission and distribution deficiencies, emerging and less developed markets may also suffer from deteriorating road networks, congested ports and obsolete rail infrastructure, which have all severely constrained socioeconomic development, including restricting the movement of people and goods within those regions, thereby increasing the time it takes to mobilize workforces and deliver supplies or equipment. The power sectors of emerging and less developed markets may suffer from numerous problems, such as limited access to infrastructure, low connection rates, inadequate power generation capacity, lack of capital for investment, insufficient transmission and distribution facilities, high transmission and distribution losses and vandalism. Many businesses rely on alternative electricity and water supplies, adding to overall business costs. See &#8220;&#8212; Some of the markets in which we currently, or may in the future, operate may suffer from chronic electricity shortages.&#8221;</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Although significant advances have been made in the areas of communications facilities in recent&#160;years, the progress of development in these sectors cannot be considered at par with that in more developed economies. For example, the Nigerian government has identified the country&#8217;s decaying infrastructure as a major impediment to economic growth and Nigeria&#8217;s Economic Recovery and Growth Plan, or the ERGP, and various policies of the government on infrastructure and economic development include ambitious targets for infrastructure improvements and investments as part of the process of accelerating infrastructure development in the country.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Failure to significantly improve the infrastructure in such markets could adversely affect their economies and growth prospects, including their ability to meet GDP growth targets which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. The lack of reliable infrastructure also limits our ability, and that of our commercial partners, contractors, customers and suppliers, to respond quickly to unforeseen situations, which can lead to delays and production stoppages. We may also face operational and logistical challenges as a result of outbreaks of infectious diseases in the regions in which we operate. The occurrence of any of the above could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. Furthermore, certain areas/regions in which we operate periodically experience adverse weather conditions and natural disasters, mainly in the form of high winds, floods, erosion, and drought, which further limit the use of available infrastructure, particularly during the rainy season in such regions, when the likelihood of delays increases.

Insufficient power generation, aging infrastructure, weak distribution networks, overloaded transformers, and acts of sabotage to pipelines and infrastructure by vandals result in frequent power outages, high transmission and distribution losses and poor voltage output. Only 55.4% of Nigeria&#8217;s total population has access to the grid electricity supply (according to World Bank data from 2020) due to insufficient generation capacity and inadequate transmission and distribution networks. In addition, Zambia experienced power outages that adversely impacted its economic growth between 2014 and 2016, in 2019, 2020 and in 2022. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Similarly, in South Africa the national electricity grid has been under significant pressure over the last decade to meet growing demand given insufficient generation capacity due to underinvestment in new generation and maintenance of facilities. This has resulted in periodic periods of load shedding, where planned supply interruptions take place and are rotated across South Africa to reduce pressure on the electricity grid. New initiatives have been implemented by the government, including allowing the private sector to build their own power plants with up to 100 megawatts of generating capacity without requiring a license, in a bid to address the nation&#39;s failing electricity supply. Load shedding has also increasingly been experienced in some of our other markets, such as Zambia and Cote d&#8217;Ivoire. Despite initiatives by governments to resolve or mitigate such issues and/or ongoing investment from governments into power generation and transmission, load shedding is expected to continue to occur in the future (including, potentially, in additional markets in which we may operate), and which in turn, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and/or prospects.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Despite the introduction of power sector reforms and recent incremental improvements in the sector in certain markets, failure to sustain and improve on these efforts in power generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure could lead to lower GDP growth and hamper the development of economies, as well as increase the underlying costs of operating in such markets, many of which may not be recoverable. Such challenges in grid connectivity and/or the consistent provision of power may also be caused by events outside the control of relevant authorities and/or providers, including as a result of the impact of climate-related events on power sources and/or distribution networks or infrastructure. Slow growth in the economies in which we operate may also lessen consumers&#8217; propensity to spend, which would negatively affect our customers. This, in turn, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and/or prospects.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Unlike communication towers businesses in developed markets such as the United States and the European Union, where the electricity grid is comparatively extremely reliable, successfully managing communications towers in many of the types of markets in which we currently, or may in the future, operate is dependent on operational competency in power management. Given the intermittent and unreliable grid availability in Nigeria, for example, grid electricity has been rarely used as a source of power for our Towers, with 35% of Towers operated only with generators and 54% operated with hybrid solutions, which alternate between diesel generators and / or solar or battery systems, as of December 31, 2022. In our other African markets grid availability can also be unreliable and, as of December 31, 2022, 12% of Towers (excluding South Africa) were powered only by the grid, with the remainder having either generator or hybrid power systems. The unreliability of the grid power presents significant challenges to managing our tower sites and power uptimes and delivering quality service to customers. Any inability to continue to deliver quality service could harm our relationships with our customers, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">42</p></div></div>

Reductions in revenue from such commodities could adversely affect the economies of the markets in which we operate. For example, the Nigerian economy is highly dependent on oil production in Nigeria and global prices of oil. According to the Nigerian National Bureau of Statistics, in 2022, the oil sector represented 5.7% of total real GDP, a decrease from the 7.2% and 8.2% recorded in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Reductions in oil revenue, particularly in light of measures related to global health events or outbreaks (such as COVID-19), or geopolitical tensions (such as the recent Russia-Ukraine situation), could have a material adverse effect on the economies of certain markets in which we operate and in turn on our and our customers&#8217; business and our results of operations. Additionally, between 2014 and 2016, a fall in copper prices adversely affected Zambia&#8217;s economy, along with increased tensions with mining companies due to related tax increases.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Revenue from commodities is a function of the level of the relevant commodity&#8217;s production in the relevant country and prevailing world commodity prices and demand. Commodity prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of, and demand for, such commodity, market uncertainty, and a variety of additional factors that are beyond the control of the relevant country. These factors include, but are not limited to, political conditions in other relevant regions, internal and political decisions of any regional or international bodies or organizations relating to such commodities, such as OPEC, and other nations producing the relevant commodity as to whether to decrease or increase production, domestic and foreign supplies of the commodity, consumer demand, such as the fall in demand resulting from the global response measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 (or any future coronavirus or other outbreaks or events with a wide-ranging regional or global impact), weather conditions, domestic and foreign government regulations, transport costs, the price and availability of alternatives and overall economic conditions.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Declines in commodity prices and/or revenue on which certain of the economies in which we operate rely have had and will continue to have an impact on such economies, and may result in lower economic growth, high rates of unemployment, reduction in foreign exchange and government revenue. For example, the Nigerian government and certain other governments, such as in oil-producing countries in the Middle East, rely heavily on oil revenue to fund their budgets, and the decline in prices immediately following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 resulted in significantly decreased revenue. A reduction in commodity prices, such as a drop in oil prices, would likely negatively impact export earnings in the relevant country, government revenue, and national disposable income, and lead to budgetary constraints and reduced investment in key projects such as infrastructure. Further, any foreign exchange controls imposed in the jurisdictions in which we operate, whether as a result of reduced foreign exchange revenue from such commodities or related products or otherwise, may lead to a devaluation of our revenue which is received in local currencies and also affect our ability to obtain foreign currency required for some of our operations or to service some of our foreign currency obligations. See &#8220;&#8212; Financial authorities in the markets in which we operate may intervene in the currency markets by drawing on external reserves, and their currencies are subject to volatility&#8221; and &#8220;&#8212; Shortage of U.S. dollar, euro or other hard currency liquidity in the markets in which we operate may adversely affect our ability to service our foreign currency liabilities.&#8221;</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Commodity production in the relevant economies may also fluctuate significantly as a result of a decline in global prices, which may affect the economic viability of certain producing assets, and the activities of vandals (such as in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, in relation to the oil industry) may lead to significant disruptions in the production of commodities on which such economies or businesses there rely upon. For example, the level of oil production and oil revenue in Nigeria and certain other oil producing countries in the Middle East may also be adversely affected by other factors, including changes in oil production quotas by OPEC, the response of international oil companies to changes in the regulatory framework for oil production in the relevant country or region, and theft of crude oil from pipelines and tank farms. Any long-term shift away from certain commodities (such as fossil fuels), including from developed economies seeking to develop alternative sources of energy, could adversely affect commodity prices and demand and the resulting commodity-related revenue of economies in which we operate. Damage to such economies as a result of such downturns may harm our customers and increase costs (such as fuel costs), which may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">High inflation could have a material adverse effect on the economies in which we operate.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">The markets in which we operate are exposed to the risk of high inflation.

Changes in monetary and/or fiscal policy in the countries in which we operate may result in higher rates of inflation, which could consequently increase our operating costs. There can be no assurance that inflation rates will not rise in the future. While we have contractual inflation-linked escalation provisions under most of our MLAs, there can be no guarantee that the rates of escalation of lease fees will mitigate future inflation, particularly where our MLAs may include fixed, capped or floored escalators.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Brazil has also experienced high rates of inflation. &#160;For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, Brazil&#8217;s inflation rate was 9.3% and 8.3%, respectively. The Brazilian government&#8217;s actions to control inflation and other policies and regulations have often involved, among other measures, increases or decreases in interest rates, changes in fiscal policies, wage and price controls, foreign exchange rate controls, blocking access to bank accounts, currency devaluations, capital controls and import and export restrictions. Inflation, policies adopted to curb inflationary pressures and uncertainties regarding possible future governmental intervention have contributed to economic uncertainty and heightened volatility in the Brazilian economy.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Significant inflation and measures taken to control inflation could have a material adverse effect on the economies of the countries in which we operate and, as a result, on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Financial authorities in the markets in which we operate may intervene in the currency markets by drawing on external reserves, and their currencies are subject to volatility.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Central banking authorities in the countries in which we operate may intervene in the currency markets by drawing on external reserves (such as, most recently, in Nigeria, where a significant portion of our operations are based) or adopting policies that may impact the applicable exchange rates and/or amounts of foreign currency that may be obtained. Fluctuations in an economy&#8217;s external reserves, its high dependence on certain foreign-currency revenue streams (such as those related to commodities such as oil, or other exports) and high levels of key imports in foreign currency, could result in local currencies remaining or becoming vulnerable to external shocks.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">For example, the CBN has historically favored maintaining the Naira within a narrow band with periodic adjustments. The gross external reserves have fluctuated in recent years, dropping significantly from a high of $44.2 billion at the end of 2012, to a low of $25.8 billion at the end of 2016, before gradually recovering. As of December 31, 2022, gross external reserves were recorded at $37.1 billion. Given the fluctuations in Nigeria&#8217;s external reserves, its high dependence on oil exports and the fact that Nigeria pays for its key imports, such as refined oil, in U.S. dollars, the Naira will remain vulnerable to external shocks that could lead to a sharp decline in its values, as had occurred historically.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In addition, the currencies of the countries in which we operate are subject to volatility. The functional currency of our operating subsidiaries are the Nigerian Naira (&#8358;), West African CFA Franc (XOF), Central African CFA Franc (XAF), Zambian Kwacha (ZMW), Rwandan Franc (RWF), the South African Rand (ZAR), Brazilian Real (BRL), Colombian Peso (COP), Peruvian Sol (PEN) and Kuwaiti Dinar (KD). The operating subsidiaries&#8217; financial results are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. Accordingly, we are subject to fluctuations in the rates of currency exchange. In particular, the Naira has depreciated significantly against the U.S. dollar, due to declining oil prices, depletion of external reserves, and the absence of fiscal buffers. In early 2015, the CBN instituted certain currency control policies and pegged the Naira at &#8358;197 to the U.S. dollar, which increased to approximately &#8358;305 in 2016, approximately &#8358;435 as of December 31,&#160;2021 and &#8358;461.50 as of December 31, 2022. Similarly, the Zambian Kwacha to U.S. dollar exchange rate increased from ZMW9.99 as of December&#160;31, 2017 to ZMW18.07 as of December&#160;31, 2022 and the Brazilian Real to U.S. dollar exchange rate increased from BRL4.03 as of December&#160;31, 2019 to BRL5.22 as of December&#160;31, 2022. The South African Rand to U.S. dollar exchange rate increased from ZAR15.94 as of December 31, 2021 to ZAR16.98 as of December 31, 2022. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Central banks or monetary authorities in economies where the local currency is subject to such pressures may take various administrative measures aimed at stabilizing the foreign exchange market, including restricting access to the official foreign exchange market or prohibiting the use of foreign currencies in domestic transactions or by other means.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The depreciation or volatility of local currencies of the countries in which we operate may negatively affect their respective economies, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our and our customers&#8217; business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations as well as our liquidity and cash flows.

For example, Nigeria, Cameroon and Egypt placed 150, 142 and 130, respectively, out of 180 countries in Transparency International&#8217;s 2022 Corruption Perceptions Index. Despite certain reform efforts, however, corruption continues to be a serious problem impacting some of the countries in which we operate, as reflected by several high-profile convictions. Brazil has also experienced recent political instability, including various investigations into allegations of money laundering and corruption being conducted by the Office of the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor, which have negatively impacted the Brazilian economy and political environment. In addition, in February 2023 both South Africa and Nigeria were added by the Financial Action Task Force&#8217;s (&#8220;FATF&#8221;) to the &#8220;grey list&#8221; of countries that need to do more to improve their ability to fight financial crime. &#160;The addition to the &#8220;grey list&#8221; will likely increase the cost of doing business in South Africa and Nigeria, as there is additional scrutiny on transactions by international counterparties in grey list countries. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Corruption has many implications for a country, including difficulty in collecting revenue and controlling expenditure, increasing the risk of political instability, distorting decision-making processes and adversely affecting its international reputation. Failure to address these issues, continued corruption in the public sector and any future allegations of, or perceived risk of, corruption in the markets in which we operate could have adverse effects on their respective economies and may have a negative effect on the ability of these countries to attract foreign investment and, as a result, may have a material adverse effect on our and our customers&#8217; business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">The policies and reforms of the political administrations in the countries in which we operate may result in political instability or changes in regulatory or other government policies.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Many emerging and less developed markets, including those in which we operate or may operate, face periods of political and economic uncertainty, particularly around the times leading up to elections and/or other political change, including uncertainty as to the manner in which the relevant governing authorities would seek to address the issues facing the relevant country and whether they would alter or reverse certain reforms and actions taken by predecessors or even by incumbents seeking to garner increased favor. Such issues may give rise to uncertainty in the investing community and are likely to reduce inbound investment. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Frequent and intense periods of political instability make it difficult to predict future trends in governmental policies. For example, the Arab Spring of 2010 and 2011 caused substantial political turmoil across the Middle East and North Africa, particularly in Egypt. During this period of instability in Egypt, the government temporarily dissolved the parliament, suspended the constitution and shut down the internet. Any similar shut-down in the countries in which we operate in the future will negatively affect our business and results of operations. In addition, if government or regulatory policies in a market in which we operate were to change or become less business-friendly, our business could be materially adversely affected. Recent economic instability in Brazil also has contributed to a decline in market confidence in the Brazilian economy as well as to a deteriorating political environment. The Brazilian government also frequently intervenes in the Brazilian economy and occasionally makes significant changes in policy and regulations. For instance, the Brazilian government&#8217;s actions to control inflation and implement macroeconomic policies have often involved increases in interest rates, wage and price controls, currency devaluations, blocking access to bank accounts, imposing capital controls and limits on imports, among other things. In addition, various ongoing investigations into allegations of money laundering and corruption being conducted by the Office of the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor, have negatively impacted the Brazilian economy and political environment and have adversely impacted the image and reputation of those companies that have been implicated. We do not have any control over, and are unable to predict, which measures or policies the Brazilian government may adopt in the future.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Moreover, some planned reforms may disadvantage certain existing stakeholders, who may seek to curtail such reforms. For example, planned privatization of state-owned enterprises has in some cases been met with strikes or threats of strikes in anticipation of job losses and price increases. Any significant changes in the political climate in the countries in which we operate, including changes affecting the stability of the government or involving a rejection, reversal or significant modification of policies against nationalization or expropriation of privately owned assets, favoring the privatization of state-owned enterprises, reforms in the telecommunications, power, banking and oil and gas sectors or other reforms, may have negative effects on the economy, government revenue or foreign reserves and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">45</p></div></div>

For example, in Nigeria, corruption, policy uncertainty and collapsing infrastructure, as well as terrorist acts by Boko Haram and increased insecurity in different parts of the country, present significant risks to business operations in parts of Nigeria. Terrorism and militant activity are a problem in parts of Nigeria, where a range of terrorist and militant groups with differing goals operate. The Boko Haram sect, a terrorist group based primarily in north-eastern Nigeria, initially became active in 2009 and increasingly received international attention for the number and frequency of attacks against the Nigerian people and villages. These attacks led to the deployment of troops to Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states. Despite progress made in combatting the group, Boko Haram continued to mount attacks throughout 2021 and 2022, particularly in the Lake Chad region. In addition to the instability caused by Boko Haram, the Niger Delta region of Nigeria continues to experience militant activity, creating a challenging environment for companies operating in that region. Cameroon has also recently faced similar issues, including with terrorism as well as increasing instances of unrest as a result of the tensions between the &#8220;Anglophone&#8221; and &#8220;Francophone&#8221; regions of Cameroon. Such instability has in the past resulted in, and may continue to result in, vandalism of our sites, obstruction or inability to access our Towers and increased security threats to our sites, as well as corresponding lost revenue or increased maintenance and security costs, as well as increased capital expenditures.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Instances of terrorist activities or other political and/or social unrest as well as general lawlessness can create a challenging environment for companies operating in the relevant regions. While such activity may be targeted within certain regions or at certain types of industry (such as oil and gas companies), the security situation in such regions can be volatile and may also have an impact on our operations, such as attacks on sites by militant or other groups in order to disrupt communications, and can generally create instability, impacting the relevant regions and economies.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Unless resolved by the government, such conflicts may adversely affect the political and economic stability of the markets in which we operate (or may in the future operate), which may, in turn, further have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">The taxation, customs and regulatory systems in emerging and less developed markets may be subject to changes and inconsistencies.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The government policies and regulations of emerging and less developed market economies, such as those in which we operate or may operate, on taxation, customs and excise duties and other regulatory matters may change from time to time as considered necessary for the development of the economy. In addition, taxes, customs and excise duties and other fees and fines may increasingly be viewed as major sources of revenue, particularly where other previously prominent sources of revenue (such as those derived from commodities) may have reduced. This may result in the introduction of new taxes, levies or fees where none previously existed (or were not imposed). For example, in Nigeria, the Finance Acts of 2019 and 2020 signed into law in 2020, introduced changes to the existing tax regime maintained pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Income Tax Act, the Personal Income Tax Act, the Stamp Duties Act, the Capital Gains Tax Act, and the Customs and the Excise Tariff, etc (Consolidated) Act, among other related legislation. The Finance Act 2020 expanded the definition of significant economic presence to capture non-resident entities deriving economic benefits from Nigeria through digital services that do not require physical presence within the country. Given a potential need to generate revenue from sources other than exports, other foreign governments may take measures to enforce tax compliance, including taking interim measures for alleged tax default, or to impose fees with respect to our operations, even where not permitted by applicable law. While such measures are often successfully challenged, if they are taken in relation to us, this may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or liquidity. Further, the interpretation by the relevant tax or other regulatory authorities of, or decision with respect to, certain sections of tax or other laws may differ on a case-by-case basis, including potentially, against sectors or companies such as ours in the event of a perceived increase in profile or growth. Changes in government policies on taxation, customs and excise duties or other regulations, as well as inconsistencies or uncertainties in the interpretation of and decisions relating to tax laws, may have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and liquidity, as well as our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations, and on the tax liability of holders of our ordinary shares.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">46</p></div></div>

See &#8220;&#8212; Risks Relating to the Markets in which We Operate&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;Financial authorities in the markets in which we operate may intervene in the currency markets, and their currencies are subject to volatility&#8221; and &#8220;&#8212; Risks Relating to the Markets in which We Operate&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;Shortage of U.S. dollar, euro or other hard currency liquidity in the markets in which we operate may adversely affect our ability to service our foreign currency liabilities.&#8221; Such shortages or lack of availability could increase our borrowing costs and interest expenses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations as well as cash flows and liquidity. Such issues or increases could also have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and our ability to service our debt or meet interest payments in the longer term. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict our ability to satisfy our foreign currency-denominated obligations. Although we may seek to enter into agreements to reduce our risk related to access to foreign currencies and applicable exchange rates, we are under no obligation to do so and we cannot assure you that such arrangements would ensure our access to foreign currencies which we need on commercially acceptable terms or at all, or that we will be able to enter into such arrangements on commercially acceptable terms or at all. Similarly, certain jurisdictions may also experience liquidity shortages or reductions in the capital available to lend in the market (including, but not limited to, as a result of increased regulatory requirements by central banks), which may prevent us from refinancing indebtedness denominated in such local currency on acceptable terms or at all.

Local banks with a lack of geographic diversification or that have substantial exposure to certain industries which are not performing as well, may see the overall quality of their loan portfolio deteriorate or their provisioning costs increase, which may also impact their net interest income and margins. Any regional or local economic downturn that affects the local banking sector may in turn impact our ability to draw funds from any current and future undrawn local facilities or to refinance existing local facilities and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing, including the possible reluctance of creditors to make commercial loans or to invest in operations in developing markets, including as a result of market and economic conditions, &#160;could also result in higher interest rates, and the increased interest expense could, in the longer term, have a materially adverse effect on our ability to service our debt and to complete our capital expenditure plans, and our financial condition and results of operations could deteriorate as a result. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">We are subject to restrictive debt covenants and our failure to comply with these covenants, including as a result of events beyond our control, could result in an event of default that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and/or results of operations.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We are party to credit agreements that govern the IHS Holding RCF and the IHS Holding 2022 Term Loan, indentures that govern the Notes and credit agreements governing our facilities at our operating subsidiaries, and may provide guarantees under credit agreements governing our facilities at our operating subsidiaries, and therefore are subject to the restrictive covenants under those agreements.

For example, these restrictions could have a material adverse effect on our ability to finance our operations, make strategic acquisitions, investments or alliances, restructure our organization, or finance our capital needs. Additionally, our ability to comply with these covenants and restrictions may be affected by events beyond our control. Should market conditions deteriorate or fail to improve, or our operating results decrease in the future, then we may have to request amendments and/or waivers to the covenants and restrictions to which we are subject. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such relief should it be needed in the future. A breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could result in a default and acceleration that would permit our creditors to declare all amounts incurred to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest, and the commitments of the relevant creditors to make further extensions of credit could be terminated.

Increases in such reference rates increase our interest expense, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. Such increases in interest rates could also have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and our ability to service our debt in the longer term. In addition, we may procure additional indebtedness at floating rates in the future. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Some currencies and tenors of LIBOR were discontinued on December 31, 2021, while all remaining tenors are expected to be discontinued on June 30, 2023.

If we default on the payments required by any indebtedness, that indebtedness, together with debt incurred pursuant to debt agreements or instruments that contain cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions may become payable on demand, and we may not have sufficient funds to repay all of our debts.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Furthermore, if our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to service our debt obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, any of which will depend on our cash needs, our financial condition at such time, the then prevailing market conditions and the terms of our then existing debt instruments, which may restrict us from adopting some of these alternatives. Any failure to make payments of interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness on a timely basis would likely result in a reduction of our credit rating, which could also harm our ability to incur additional indebtedness. In addition, any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations, and there can be no assurances that any assets which we could be required to dispose of could be sold or that, if sold, the timing of the sales and the amount of proceeds realized from those sales could be on acceptable terms.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In addition, we maintain the majority of our cash and cash equivalents in accounts with major financial institutions, and our deposits at these institutions may exceed insured limits. &#160;Market conditions can impact the viability of these institutions. &#160;In the event of failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that we would be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all. &#160;Any inability to access or delay in accessing these funds could adversely affect our business and financial position.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-style:italic;">Risks Relating to Ownership of our Ordinary Shares</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">We are a foreign private issuer and, as a result, we are not subject to U.S. proxy rules&#160;and are not subject to Exchange Act reporting obligations that, to some extent, are more lenient and less frequent than those of a U.S. domestic public company.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Because we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including (i)&#160;the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act, (ii)&#160;the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time and (iii)&#160;the rules&#160;under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of current reports on Form&#160;8-K and quarterly reports on Form&#160;10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, although we provide and intend to continue to provide comparable quarterly information on Form&#160;6-K. In addition, foreign private issuers are not required to file their annual report on Form&#160;20-F until 120&#160;days after the end of each fiscal&#160;year, while U.S. domestic issuers that are large accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form&#160;10-K within 60&#160;days after the end of each fiscal&#160;year. Foreign private issuers are also exempt from Regulation FD, which is intended to prevent issuers from making selective disclosures of material information. As a result of all of the above, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of a company that is not a foreign private issuer.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">50</p></div></div>

The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer&#8217;s most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and, accordingly, the next determination will be made with respect to us on June&#160;30, 2023. In the future, we would lose our foreign private issuer status if (i)&#160;more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are owned by U.S. residents and (ii)&#160;a majority of our directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens or residents, or we fail to meet additional requirements necessary to avoid loss of foreign private issuer status. If we lose our foreign private issuer status, we will be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. We will also have to mandatorily comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders will become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and recovery provisions of Section&#160;16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will lose our ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements under the listing rules&#160;of the New York Stock Exchange (&#8220;NYSE&#8221;). As a U.S. listed public company that is not a foreign private issuer, we will incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we will not incur as a foreign private issuer, and accounting, reporting and other expenses in order to maintain a listing on a U.S. securities exchange. These expenses will relate to, among other things, the obligation to present our financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP in the future.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">As we are a &#8220;foreign private issuer&#8221; and intend to follow certain home country corporate governance practices, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all NYSE corporate governance requirements.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">As a foreign private issuer, we have the option to follow certain home country corporate governance practices rather than those of the NYSE, provided that we disclose the requirements we are not following and describe the home country practices we are following. We intend to rely on this &#8220;foreign private issuer exemption&#8221; with respect to the NYSE rules&#160;for shareholder meeting quorums and record dates and the NYSE rules&#160;requiring shareholders to approve equity compensation plans and material revisions thereto, neither of which is required under the Cayman Islands law. We may in the future elect to follow home country practices with regard to other matters, including the requirement that listed companies have a majority of independent directors unless the company is a &#8220;controlled company&#8221; and the requirement that listed companies have a compensation and nominating and corporate governance committee comprised entirely of independent directors. As a result, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all NYSE corporate governance requirements.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">We cannot assure you that a market for our ordinary shares will be sustained to provide adequate liquidity, and public trading markets may experience volatility.

If a market is not sustained, it may be difficult for you to sell your ordinary shares. Public trading markets may also experience volatility and disruption. This may affect the pricing of the ordinary shares in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the ordinary shares and the extent of regulation applicable to us. We cannot predict the prices at which our ordinary shares will trade. It is possible that, in future quarters, our operating results may be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. As a result of these and other factors, the price of our ordinary shares may decline, possibly materially.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Our operating results and ordinary share price may be volatile, and the market price of our ordinary shares may drop below the price you pay.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our quarterly operating results are likely to fluctuate in the future in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including each of the factors set forth above.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In addition, securities markets worldwide have experienced, and are likely to continue to experience, significant price and volume fluctuations.

In addition, in the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the shares. If any of our shareholders brought a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management from our business, which could significantly harm our profitability and reputation.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">A significant portion of our total issued and outstanding ordinary shares are eligible to be sold into the market, which could cause the market price of our ordinary shares to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:7pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-size:9pt;">Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of ordinary shares intend to sell, could reduce the market price of our ordinary shares. As of December&#160;31, 2022, we had 331,920,002 ordinary shares outstanding. All of our ordinary shares are freely tradable under the Securities Act without restriction, except for any of our ordinary shares that may be held or acquired by our directors, executive officers and other affiliates, as that term is defined in the Securities Act, which will be restricted securities under the Securities Act.

We also entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which we agreed under certain circumstances to file a registration statement to register the resale of the ordinary shares held by certain of our existing shareholders, as well as to cooperate in certain public offerings of such ordinary shares and to reimburse such shareholders for certain expenses incurred in connection therewith.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of the NYSE and other applicable securities rules&#160;and regulations impose various requirements on public companies, including establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules&#160;and regulations continue to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, these rules&#160;and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors. We may also face challenges in complying with our increased obligations in the required or expected timeframes.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We continue to evaluate these rules&#160;and regulations, and cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. These rules&#160;and regulations are often subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">To establish (and ultimately, maintain) the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting, we expect that we will need to continue enhancing existing, and implement new, financial reporting and management systems, procedures and controls to manage our business effectively and support our growth in the future.

In addition, as a result of the restatements, investors may lose confidence in our operating results, and we may be subject to shareholder or other litigation or regulatory enforcement actions in connection with the restatement.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-size:7.5pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Inaccurate assumptions in respect of critical accounting judgments could materially adversely affect financial results.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In the course of preparing financial statements our management necessarily makes judgments and estimates that can have a significant impact on our financial statements. The most critical of these relate to impairment of assets, fair value of embedded derivatives and options, contingent liabilities, revenue recognition and certain regulatory accruals. The use of inaccurate assumptions in calculations for any of these estimates could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. Our operating results may be adversely affected if the assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in the assumptions, which could cause our operating results to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the price of our ordinary shares. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Because we have no current plans to pay regular cash dividends on our ordinary shares, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your ordinary shares for a price greater than that which you paid for it.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We do not currently anticipate paying any regular cash dividends on our ordinary shares. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is, and may be, limited by covenants of existing and any future outstanding indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur. Therefore, any return on investment in our ordinary shares is solely dependent upon the appreciation of the price of our ordinary shares on the open market, which may not occur, which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.

The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors and us, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under the laws of the Cayman Islands are not as clearly defined as under statutes or judicial precedent in existence in jurisdictions in the United States. Therefore, you may have more difficulty protecting your interests than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States, due to the comparatively less well-developed Cayman Islands law in this area.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">53</p></div></div>

While Cayman Islands law allows a shareholder objecting to a court sanctioned scheme of arrangement to express a view that such scheme of arrangement would not provide fair value for the shareholder&#8217;s shares, Cayman Islands statutory and common law in respect of schemes of arrangement does not specifically provide for shareholder appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation effected by a scheme of arrangement of a company that has otherwise received the prescribed shareholder approval. This may make it more difficult for you to assess the value of any consideration you may receive in a merger or consolidation effected by a scheme of arrangement or to require that the acquirer gives you additional consideration if you believe the consideration offered is insufficient. However, in the event of a merger or consolidation under the statutory merger regime, Cayman Islands law does provide a mechanism for a dissenting shareholder to require us to apply to the Grand Court for a determination of the fair value of the dissenter&#8217;s shares if it is not possible for the company and the dissenter to agree on a fair price within the time limits prescribed.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 11pt 0pt;">Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies such as ours, have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records and accounts or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders. Our directors have discretion under our Articles to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 11pt 0pt;">It should be noted that the Cayman Islands law has no legislation specifically dedicated to the rights of investors in securities, and thus no statutorily defined private causes of action to investors in securities such as those found under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act in the United States. Subject to limited exceptions, under Cayman Islands law, a shareholder may not bring a derivative action against the board of directors. Class&#160;actions are not recognized in the Cayman Islands, but groups of shareholders with identical interests may bring representative proceedings, which are similar.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 11pt 0pt;">As a result of all of the above, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by our management or members of the board of directors than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 11pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Our Articles provide, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal courts of the United States shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear, settle and/or determine any dispute, controversy or claim arising under the provisions of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, which could increase a shareholder&#8217;s cost and limit such shareholder&#8217;s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 11pt 0pt;">Our Articles provide unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum (a)&#160;the federal courts of the United States shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear, settle and/or determine any dispute, controversy or claim arising under the provisions of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, which are referred to as the U.S. Actions; and (b)&#160;save for such U.S. Actions, the courts of the Cayman Islands shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim or dispute arising out of or in connection with the Articles or otherwise related in any way to each member&#8217;s shareholding in us, including but not limited to (i)&#160;any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us; (ii)&#160;any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us (iii)&#160;any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands or the Articles; or (iv)&#160;any action asserting a claim against us concerning our internal affairs.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">This choice of forum provision may increase a shareholder&#8217;s cost and limit the shareholder&#8217;s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any of our shares or other securities, whether by transfer, sale, operation of law or otherwise, shall be deemed to have notice of and have irrevocably agreed and consented to these provisions. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies&#8217; charter documents has been challenged in legal proceedings. It is possible that a court could find this type of provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable, and if a court were to find this provision in our Articles to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and/or results of operations.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">54</p></div></div>

Our board of directors has the ability to designate the terms of and issue preferred shares without shareholder approval. In addition, Board vacancies may be filled by an affirmative vote of the remaining Board members. The directors are divided into three classes designated as Class&#160;I, Class&#160;II and Class&#160;III, respectively, and directors will generally be elected to serve staggered three-year terms. The term of the Class&#160;I Directors shall expire at the third annual general meeting of the Company in 2024.

The term of office of the Class&#160;III Directors shall expire at the fifth annual general meeting of the Company in 2026. A Director whose term has expired may be reappointed in accordance with the terms of the Articles. These provisions may make it more difficult to remove directors.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 11pt 0pt;">Our Articles contain a prohibition on business combinations with any &#8220;interested&#8221; shareholder for a period of three&#160;years after such person becomes an interested shareholder unless (1)&#160;there is advance approval of our Board, (2)&#160;the interested shareholder owns at least 85% of our voting shares at the time the business combination commences or (3)&#160;the combination is approved by shareholders holding at least two-thirds of the votes attaching to the ordinary shares that are not held by the interested shareholder.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 11pt 0pt;">Taken together, these provisions may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our ordinary shares.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 11pt 0pt;">There may be difficulties in enforcing foreign judgments against our management or us.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 11pt 0pt;">Certain of our directors and management and certain of the other parties named in this Annual Report reside outside the United States. Most of our assets and such persons&#8217; assets are located outside the United States.

Therefore, our ability to fund and conduct our business, service our debt and pay dividends, if any, in the future depends on the ability of our subsidiaries and intermediate holding companies to make upstream cash distributions or payments to us, which may be impacted, for example, by their ability to generate sufficient cash flow or limitations on the ability to repatriate funds whether as a result of currency liquidity restrictions, monetary or exchange controls or otherwise. Our operating subsidiaries and intermediate holding companies are separate legal entities, and although they are directly or indirectly wholly owned and/or controlled by us, they have no obligation to make any funds available to us, whether in the form of loans, dividends or otherwise. The ability of our operating subsidiaries and intermediate holding companies to distribute cash to us will also be subject to, among other things, restrictions that may be contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness as entered into from time to time, including the IHS Holding RCF, the IHS Holding 2022 &#160;Term Loan , and the Notes, and the facilities of our operating subsidiaries, availability of sufficient funds in such subsidiaries and applicable laws, taxes and regulatory restrictions, including monetary or fiscal controls and restrictions. Claims of any creditors of any of our subsidiaries generally will have priority as to the assets of such subsidiaries over our claims and claims of our creditors and shareholders. To the extent the ability of any of our subsidiaries to distribute dividends or other payments to us is limited in any way, our ability to fund and conduct our business, service our debt and pay dividends, if any, could be harmed.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">55</p></div></div>

Business Overview</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 11pt 0pt;">We are one of the largest independent owners, operators and developers of shared communications infrastructure in the world, providing our customers, most of whom are leading MNOs, with critical infrastructure that facilitates mobile communications coverage and connectivity for approximately 770 million people in emerging markets, across three regions and eleven countries. We are the largest independent multinational emerging-market-only tower operator and one of the largest independent multinational tower operators globally, in each case by tower count. As of December&#160;31, 2022, we operated 39,652 Towers across seven countries in Africa, three countries in Latin America and one country in the Middle East. As of June 30, 2022, we are the largest independent tower operator in seven of the eleven markets in which we operate, and we are the only independent tower operator of scale in four of these markets.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We have a well-defined organic and inorganic expansion strategy designed to grow in existing markets with our existing and new customers and, given the significant global emerging market opportunities in communications infrastructure, enter carefully selected growth oriented markets with compelling underlying fundamentals. Historically, our business has been predominantly focused on the African continent, however in 2020 we started complementing this with investment into other regions and adjacent communications infrastructure offerings. Aligned to this inorganic growth strategy, in February&#160;2020 we completed the first closing of 1,022 towers in Kuwait through a controlling investment pursuant to the Kuwait Acquisition for the acquisition of up to 1,620 towers in the aggregate, with a further 376 towers transferred in subsequent closings. Also, in February&#160;2020 we completed the acquisition of 2,312 towers through a 100% investment pursuant to the CSS Acquisition with towers primarily in Brazil, as well as Peru and Colombia. In 2021, we acquired 1,005 towers in Brazil pursuant to the Skysites Acquisition, 819 towers in Brazil and Colombia pursuant to the Centennial Acquisition, and completed the TIM Fiber Acquisition with TIM Brasil to form I-Systems, which provides a neutral network infrastructure solution for broadband service in Brazil. In October 2021, we signed an agreement pursuant to the Egypt Transaction and obtained a license to construct, operate and lease telecom towers in Egypt. More recently, in 2022, we entered the South African market by completing the acquisition of 5,691 towers pursuant to the MTN SA Acquisition, and we expanded further in Brazil by completing the acquisition of 2,115 towers pursuant to the GTS SP5 Acquisition. Each of these acquisitions supports our inorganic growth strategy of expanding into additional regions that meet our investment criteria, which opens up new markets that we believe will provide future organic and inorganic growth opportunities.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">56</p></div></div>

We provide our customers with opportunities to lease space on existing Towers alongside current Tenants, known as Colocation, to install additional equipment on a Tower or request certain ancillary services, known as Lease Amendments, or to commission the construction of new Towers to the customer&#8217;s specifications, known as New Sites. Additionally, through I-Systems, we provide &#8220;Fiber-to-the-Home&#8221; or &#8220;FTTH&#8221; fiber connectivity to our customers through a neutral network infrastructure solution for broadband service, and in Nigeria we provide &#8220;Fiber-to-the-Tower&#8221; or &#8220;FTTT&#8221; connectivity to our customers. Finally, we lease space to our customers in secure locations within large building complexes, such as shopping malls, stadiums and airports, which we refer to as in-building solutions, or IBS, or distributed antenna systems, or DAS. In certain strategic instances, we may also provide Managed Services, such as maintenance, security and power supply for Towers owned by third parties. As of December&#160;31, 2022, our owned and operated tower portfolio supported 58,573 Tenants, with a Colocation Rate of 1.48x. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our primary customers are the leading MNOs in each of our markets. We also provide infrastructure and services to a number of other communications service providers. Our success in establishing deep customer relationships and operational excellence has enabled us to grow both organically and through 22 transactions, building a footprint that currently covers Nigeria, South Africa, C&#244;te d&#8217;Ivoire, Cameroon, Zambia, Rwanda, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Kuwait and Egypt. We are the largest independent tower operator in seven of the eleven markets in which we operate and are the only independent tower operator of scale in four of these markets. Our markets in Egypt (which we entered in 2021) and Latin America (which we entered in 2020) are the only ones in which we do not have a leadership position today.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">To support the communications infrastructure needs of our customers, we typically enter into long-term MLAs of 5 to 15&#160;years in duration, which have historically yielded strong renewal rates. As of December&#160;31, 2022, the average remaining length of our MLAs with our Key Customers, who represented 93% of our Tenants, was 6.6 years. Additionally, these Key Customers had aggregate Contracted Revenue of $12.9 billion and an average remaining lease term of 7.6 years as of December&#160;31, 2022.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Our MLAs typically include annual inflation-linked revenue escalators, limited customer termination rights and, in certain cases, provisions designed to mitigate foreign exchange risk, such as periodic reset mechanisms to adjust for local currency devaluation. For the&#160;years ended December&#160;31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, 51%, 63% and 65%, respectively, of our revenue was linked to the U.S. dollar or euro. Foreign currency-linked elements implemented in certain of our contracts aim to help provide protection against potentially adverse movements in local currency. Our U.S. dollar-linked revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars in the relevant MLAs, but paid to us in local currency through contractual mechanisms. In such cases, including the majority of our revenue in Nigeria, and the minority of our revenue in Rwanda and Zambia, our MLAs may </p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">57</p></div></div>

Our eleven markets covered approximately 832 million SIMs as of December&#160;31, 2021. Our African markets are generally characterized by low mobile penetration, and a high number of subscribers per tower compared with the U.S. and Western Europe. These markets are also attractive due to an increasing need for 3G and 4G coverage and capacity, with 52% 3G SIM penetration and only 24% 4G SIM penetration as of December 31, 2021 (blended average metrics based on IHS Towers&#8217; number of towers in each market as of June 30, 2022, including the commitment to deploy 5,800 towers in Egypt). Over the longer term, we also expect 5G technology to become more meaningful in these markets. To meet the anticipated telecommunications growth in our African markets, including Egypt and South Africa, which we entered in 2021 and 2022, respectively, it is expected that these markets will require over 30,000 new towers and over 55,000 new MNO points of presence over the period December&#160;2021 to December&#160;2026. We also opened up new growth markets in 2020 with the completion of the Kuwait Acquisition and the CSS Acquisition in Latin America, giving us additional exposure to the growth and technology trends in these markets as well. It is estimated that the markets in Latin America we currently operate in including Brazil, Colombia and Peru will require over 24,000 new towers and over 42,000 new MNO points of presence over the period December&#160;2021 to December&#160;2026. As telecommunication networks in our markets evolve, we believe that there may also be increasing demand for other communications infrastructure, such as fiber connectivity and data centers.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Significant Market Scale. </span> &#160;We are the number one independent tower operator in seven of our eleven markets. As of June&#160;30, 2022, we had an estimated 59% and 52% market share of independently owned or operated sites in Nigeria and South Africa (Gyro is owned by Telkom South Africa and is therefore excluded from the calculation), respectively, which are two of the largest telecommunications markets in Africa by subscribers. In addition, we are the only independent tower operator of scale in four of our eleven markets and as of June&#160;30, 2022, we are the largest independent tower operator in Africa, measured by tower count.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">As a leader in many of our markets, we benefit from operational efficiencies that help drive financial performance. We have strategically acquired multiple tower portfolios in each of our African markets and have selectively consolidated Towers, where we move Tenants from one Tower to another, to reduce costs.

We own or operate approximately 37% of all Towers (63% of independent Towers) in our combined African markets (excluding Egypt) as of June 30, 2022 and therefore benefit when MNOs invest in additional coverage and capacity, either on our existing sites or through the share of new sites we deliver in the market. We believe our scale and market position gives us a unique opportunity to increase our revenue per tower through Colocation and Lease Amendments as MNOs upgrade their networks from 2G and 3G to 4G and 5G.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Substantial and Defensible Market Share. </span> &#160;Given the size and scale of our business and our track record of growth and service to our customers, we believe we are well positioned to maintain or even grow our market share. Our market position is backed by long-term contracts that we have a history of successfully maintaining. For the period covering 2022, 2021 and 2020, we have added 20,921 Tenants, 18,070 Lease Amendments and constructed 2,894 New Sites. As of December&#160;31, 2022, we have built over 8,750 New Sites since our inception. We continue to provide quality service and take a partnership approach with our customers in radio frequency planning. We also benefit from high barriers to entry in our industry, including the capital intensive nature of building new tower portfolios and, in certain instances, zoning rules&#160;that restrict Towers and masts from being built within a certain radius of each other. We believe these factors underpin the strength of our market leadership and position us to take advantage of opportunities in our markets.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">We have a proven business model with high quality revenue visibility that is backed by long-term, inflation-linked contracts.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Proven business model coupled with recurring revenues and long-term contracts. </span> &#160;We offer MNOs reliable services in exchange for&#160;monthly lease fees that are underpinned by long-term contracts, creating long-term revenue visibility. For MNOs, there are high costs and potential service interruptions associated with switching tower infrastructure and, historically, we have had a track record of successfully renegotiating and extending our contracts with MNOs, including with Key Customers in Nigeria in 2020 and 2022. As of December&#160;31, 2022, we had $12.9 billion of Contracted Revenue from our Key Customers, an average remaining lease term of 7.6 years and an average remaining length of our MLAs of 6.6 years. In many cases, our contracts also include limited customer termination rights, inflation-linked revenue escalators and power indexation clauses to mitigate against certain increases in diesel prices. In certain cases, our contracts also include provisions designed to mitigate foreign exchange risk, such as periodic reset mechanisms to adjust for local currency devaluations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The majority of our revenue comes from MNOs that are subsidiaries of large, publicly listed multinational MNOs. Our Key Customers are primarily the country subsidiaries of publicly listed multinational MNOs such as MTN Group, Airtel Africa, Orange Group, Telecom Italia, Zain Group, America Movil, Telefonica, and Millicom. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Structurally favorable unit economics. </span> &#160;The absence of competing infrastructure in the vicinity of our Towers helps enable strong demand from existing customers and positions our Towers as the preferred location for potential new demand. Time to market advantages for New Site construction, cost-to-build considerations and in some cases, regulatory restrictions create natural and high barriers to entry into our markets. We are able to achieve favorable unit economics through additional Tenants and Lease Amendments via Colocation that allow us to improve our margins and our return on invested capital. When we add additional Tenants via Colocation, we generally incur limited incremental costs and typically do not provide additional tenant discounts. We also have the ability to reduce certain of our costs per Tenant, which are mostly fixed, with the exception of power costs in our African and Middle East markets, which are variable. With a Colocation Rate of 1.48x across our portfolio as of December&#160;31, 2022, our sites have the capacity to add additional Tenants before reaching a similar Colocation Rate as our older tower vintages. For example, as of December&#160;31, 2022, our tower vintages up to 2012 had a Colocation Rate of 2.24x. We believe our success in leasing up and colocating on our older Towers is a strong indicator of our ability to lease-up, grow revenue and expand margins on our newer Towers.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">We have contractual protections against macroeconomic volatility. </span> &#160;For the&#160;years ended December&#160;31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, 51%, 63%, and 65%, respectively, of our revenue was linked to the U.S. dollar or euro. Most of our operating costs are in local currency, and we have structured our contracts to provide protection against inflation and, in some cases, local currency devaluation.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Our MLAs in our MENA and Latam segments have local currency lease fees with annual inflation linked escalators. In our SSA and Nigeria segments the local currency components of our lease fees typically adjust with local currency linked inflation provisions and U.S. dollar components of our lease fees present in some of our African market MLAs typically adjust with U.S.-linked inflation provisions. The majority of our costs do not have mechanical indexation, enabling us to both grow our revenue and manage our cost base. With the exception of the cost of diesel, the majority of which is paid in U.S. </p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">61</p></div></div>

These opportunities are typically the result of our customers looking to densify their networks, improve their network coverage and capacity and upgrade their networks with new technologies, in response to growing populations and data demand from end users in our markets. Our MLAs also typically include annual inflation-linked escalations, ensuring contractual increases to revenue.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In response to these growing needs, we benefit from customers choosing Colocation in order to get to market quickly on an existing site of ours. Colocations are a highly attractive opportunity as they enable us to lease-up our existing assets with minimal incremental capital expenditure and operating expenses required. As of December&#160;31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we achieved a Colocation Rate of 1.48x, 1.50x and 1.54x, respectively. When we acquire towers from mobile operators, these typically have a low Colocation Rate that reduces our overall Colocation Rate, but at the same time these towers result in a further Colocation opportunity for our other customers.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Lease Amendments represent an opportunity for existing Tenants to enhance their existing position or upgrade technology at a Tower by installing additional equipment on that Tower or requesting certain ancillary services. For the&#160;years ended December&#160;31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we added 4,550, 9,141 and 4,379 Lease Amendments, respectively. Colocation and Lease Amendments both support our growth by increasing our operating leverage.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We typically construct New Sites after obtaining a commitment for a long-term lease with an initial tenant and, in general, if we are aware of, or believe there is, commercial potential for Colocation. Since our inception, we have built over 8,750 New Sites. For the&#160;years ended December&#160;31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we built 1,184, 1,348 and 362 New Sites, respectively.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We also benefit from the opportunity to generate revenue from adjacent services, including fiber, DAS, small cells and data centers. In terms of fiber services, through I-Systems, we provide FTTH connectivity to our customers through a neutral network infrastructure solution for broadband service, and in Nigeria we provide FTTT connectivity to our customers. These opportunities do not constitute a material contribution to our revenue today, although we look to continue to expand these opportunities as an area of growth in the future, particularly in Brazil, Nigeria, South Africa, and Kuwait, where 5G roll-out has already commenced.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">We have a track record of inorganic growth through acquiring, consolidating and integrating tower portfolios. </span> &#160;Since our inception, we have completed 22 transactions for more than 32,500 Towers and fiber assets across ten countries. These transactions have enabled us to achieve our strong in-market positioning, which is key to both our ability to provide high quality services and to ensure the sustainability of the fundamentals of our business. Our recently completed acquisitions demonstrate our desire to expand into structurally favorable emerging and less developed markets around the world.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our inorganic growth strategy focuses on entering carefully selected growth oriented markets with compelling underlying fundamentals. A key component of this inorganic growth lies in our strategy to then develop each of the markets that we enter. We aim to execute follow-on, in-market transactions upon entering a new market, in order to solidify our presence as well as extract cost synergies from our operational platform across our large asset base. In addition to building our market presence, this strategy has allowed us to better service our customers through our extensive platform.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We have an established history of delivering high quality service to our customers.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">We have long-term relationships with leading MNOs. </span>Our sites are, for most of our customers, the primary tower infrastructure that supports their operations, making us a key long-term partner of our customers. Through these partnerships, we have developed deep ties with our customers&#8217; key decision makers.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">We have a long track record of delivering quality service to MNOs through deeply integrated relationships. Our customers entrust us with this critical infrastructure in part due to our proven record. For example, in our African businesses (excluding South Africa), we had average power uptimes of 99.9% and average time to repair below two hours for the&#160;year ended December&#160;31, 2022.

Our NOCs operate 24 hours a day, seven&#160;days a week and monitor a variety of data sent from our Towers. Such data include access and gate status, diesel supply, usage and quality, cabinet temperature and overall power uptime, consumption and supply. We have demonstrated significant uptime improvement in the sites that we have purchased and enabled improved quality of service levels across our portfolio, other than in South Africa where the power grid experienced significant interruption in 2022 due to load shedding and where we are still transitioning services from third party providers to build our own NOC. Given the current operating environment in Latin America with limited service level agreement obligations (such as power uptime or average time to repair) to customers, our businesses in Brazil, Peru and Colombia generally do not require NOCs or remote monitoring services.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We have a track record of resilience to volatility.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">We have a track record of growth during periods of macro-economic volatility, including in relation to foreign exchange rates.</span> Despite Nigerian Naira devaluations and the sustained economic slowdown continuing in Nigeria since 2018, with real GDP growth at 3.1%, 3.4% and (1.9)% for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, our revenue and Segment Adjusted EBITDA for our Nigeria segment has continued to grow during that same period.

In addition to a strong executive management team, we have developed a seasoned team of in-country managers that help run the day-to-day operations, manage local relationships and expand effectively into new markets.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Our governance and control frameworks underpin our dedication to operational best practices. </span> &#160;Since our inception in 2001, we have established a rigorous framework, which includes a focus on corporate governance, ethics, environment and sustainability and risk management policies and a platform that combines the strong fundamentals of the communications infrastructure business with attractive long-term growth potential. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We have implemented governance practices at the board of directors and executive levels, including committees focused on ethics and risk management. We have ten directors, seven of whom are independent directors, on our board of directors. We have also developed an ethical compliance framework aligned with converging best practice methodologies.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">63</p></div></div>

Through the growth of 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G, we have helped the MNOs in our markets provide services to subscribers by owning, operating, sharing and constructing communications infrastructure. We are pursuing the following key strategies to grow our cash flow and continue to take advantage of our competitive strengths:</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-weight:bold;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Increase revenue, improve margins and grow cash flows by maximizing the use of our existing network infrastructure and driving organic growth through Colocation, Lease Amendments and New Sites or other communications infrastructure</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our primary strategy is to expand our revenue-generating asset base and improve utilization on new and existing Towers and other communications infrastructure. We aim to drive organic revenue growth and cash flow generation through Colocation, Lease Amendments, contractual lease fee escalations and New Site or other communications infrastructure construction. In addition, we believe strong operating leverage and initiatives, such as selective decommissioning, will help us drive margins and increase cash flows. Moreover, we see the opportunity to expand our FTTH fiber services in Brazil through I-Systems and our FTTT fiber connectivity services in Nigeria. &#160;As our customers ready themselves for 5G roll-out, we believe these fiber services, as well as existing services such as DAS and small cells and potentially data centers, will likely increase in prevalence, and will become a core component to our growth thesis.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Seek attractive rates of return through disciplined organic and inorganic investment</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We intend to continue investing capital seeking attractive rates of return. We pursue carefully selected strategies, including New Site or other communications infrastructure construction and selective decommissioning, and have a strong track record of delivering value-enhancing incremental investments that have helped grow our asset base, secure our market leading positions and provide the scale and market share necessary to sustain our growth. We assess acquisition and investment opportunities in both existing and new markets using our (i)&#160;country attractiveness framework, (ii)&#160;strategic importance analysis and (iii)&#160;investment appraisal methodologies.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Within existing markets, we focus on growing our scale advantages by acquiring portfolios and other existing tower companies, which offer opportunity for operational improvements, potential synergy realization and potentially decommissioning opportunities, leading to potentially higher returns than comparable standalone investments. Additionally, we assess adjacent components of the communications infrastructure value chain, such as fiber, to be able to offer more infrastructure services to our customers, generate incremental operating synergies across our assets and deliver potentially higher returns.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In new markets, we seek attractive communications infrastructure opportunities with contractual agreements that aim to maximize returns on our investments. We also seek balanced telecommunications market dynamics with service and technology growth opportunities and demand for communications infrastructure services. We consider markets attractive if we believe we can achieve significant scale, and even more so, if we can leverage relationships with multi-national MNOs with whom we may have existing relationships in other markets. If we deem a market attractive, we aim to apply our disciplined approach to acquisitions, establish a path to scale, gain market leadership within that country or more broadly within that region, and diversify our overall portfolio by market and by customer. In contrast, we avoid markets which do not offer chances for meaningful scale or ones that we do not believe have the right fundamental drivers to support our growth strategy.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In addition to acquiring tower portfolios or seeking to consolidate existing tower companies, we also see the potential for new and related services that will help enhance our value proposition to our customers, reduce their capital expenditure, stabilize their operating costs, help improve their quality of service and enable faster deployment of their networks. We expect to continue to generate cash flows from newly developed service propositions, such as our FTTH and FTTT fiber infrastructure services, where we see significant potential in our markets. We will continually consider opportunities to expand our offering beyond the current infrastructure services, which support MNOs in their intention to build 4G and 5G enabled networks of the future, notably with small cells in urban areas and DAS. We believe that there are opportunities to expand the types of infrastructure partnerships that we could form with our customers, such as investments in Internet-of-Things or edge computing, which could fall within our investment criteria, our infrastructure focus and our business model. We are committed to anticipating and responding to new technology trends and evolving customer needs.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">64</p></div></div>

We have done this consistently for&#160;years and we are increasingly leveraging new technology to expand the scope of how we monitor and improve the sites while reducing our dependence on diesel-powered generators. Our extensive use of alternative power solutions in our African markets helps reduce our operating costs and is more environmentally friendly given the reduction in diesel consumption that these solutions deliver. We will also look to leverage this expertise in other markets in which we operate where services such as power or site monitoring may be requested from customers in the future.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In support of these goals, in 2022, we published our Carbon Reduction Roadmap which provided a comprehensive strategy for decreasing our emissions, including a goal to reduce the Scope 1 and Scope 2 kilowatt-hour emissions intensity of our tower portfolio by 50% by 2030, using 2021 emissions data as the baseline. &#160;Under Project Green, the next significant step of our Carbon Reduction Roadmap, we expect to spend $214 million in capital expenditures towards these efforts between 2022 and 2024. We expect to achieve emissions and financial savings by connecting more sites to the electricity grid and via the deployment and integration of battery storage and solar panel solutions. In scope for Project Green are our operations in Cameroon, C&#244;te d&#8217;Ivoire, Kuwait, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Zambia.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Enhancing our impact on our communities and on the environment </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our business model is designed to be more sustainable than various alternatives given we promote infrastructure sharing, drive connectivity across our markets and have invested in hybrid power solutions that reduce operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Additionally, we continuously aim to improve and develop our Sustainability strategy, which focuses on four pillars: (i)&#160;environment and climate change; (ii)&#160;education and economic growth; (iii)&#160;our people and communities; and (iv)&#160;ethics and governance. By supporting local schools, education initiatives, health clinics and wider programs, such as improving rural telephony, we seek to make a positive impact in the communities in which we operate and further contribute to the growth and development of our markets.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Having become a Signatory of the UN Global Compact in 2020, we produce an annual &#8216;Communication on Progress (CoP)&#8217; covering how we are supporting the Compact&#8217;s ten principles in areas such as human rights, labor standards, the environment and anti-corruption, and our 2021 Sustainability Report served as our second CoP. We believe that our sustainability programs contribute to nine of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, or UN SDGs. Each of these goals feeds into our four-pillar sustainability strategy, which guides our everyday performance and underpins our business. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The impact of our Sustainability strategy continues to be recognized externally. In 2022, IHS Nigeria was recognized for the fourth year running at the Sustainability, Enterprise and Responsibility Awards, winning in three Best Company categories of Environmental Stewardship, Partnership and Climate Action. For the second year running, IHS Cameroon received an award at the 2022 Corporate Awards in the CSR &amp; Sustainability: ESG category. In Latin America, IHS Brazil was recognized as the Most Innovative Telecom Company in the Project Connectivity category at the Tele.S&#237;ntese Awards for deploying compact communications infrastructure solutions in vulnerable communities, most notably favelas in Rio de Janeiro.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:center;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Our Tower Portfolio</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Size of portfolio</span> &#160; As of December&#160;31, 2022, we had a portfolio of 35,652 owned Towers and 4,000 Towers that we operate under MLL and ROU arrangements totaling 39,652 Towers owned and operated.

foregoing owned and operated Towers, we also manage and operate approximately 222 Towers in Kuwait under a Managed Services agreement as part of the Kuwait Acquisition.

The Colocation Rate is the average number of Tenants per Tower that we own or operate across our portfolio at a point in time. With 58,573 Tenants as of December&#160;31, 2022, we had a Colocation Rate of 1.48x.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our Colocation Rate is an important metric for assessing utilization and capacity on existing Towers, as well as potential for future growth. Our Colocation Rate is a key driver of our gross margins and operating margins, as the addition of further Tenants to existing Towers increases revenue while only marginally increasing our costs (primarily power). Colocation is attractive to our customers, as it provides them with shorter deployment times for their equipment compared to New Site construction arrangements.</p><p

style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In addition to Colocation, we also continue to benefit from Lease Amendments as our existing Tenants roll out new technologies on their existing sites, which includes the deployment of 3G, 4G and 5G technologies. As of December&#160;31, 2022, our customers had deployed over 31,650 Lease Amendments to Towers across our footprint. Given the relative growth potential of the telecommunications markets in which we operate, where 3G and 4G SIM penetration are generally at a low starting base (e.g. 68% and 16%, respectively in Nigeria as of December 31, 2021), the majority of the Lease Amendments that we have added thus far are for 3G and 4G equipment added to a Tower for existing Tenants.</p><p

The substantial majority of our Towers are self-supporting lattice Towers that can support a large number of antennae, which therefore enables us to market tower space to a diverse group of telecommunications providers and other customers. Ground-based Towers can typically accommodate three or more Tenants. The key criteria in determining how many Tenants the Tower can hold is the wind loading capacity of the Tower. The capacity of a single Tower can be increased by Tower strengthening and height extensions and by adding further antenna mounting poles. The structure of the Tower can be reinforced and the foundation strengthened to accommodate additional Tenants and Lease Amendments.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our Tower portfolio consists principally of ground-based Towers. As of December&#160;31, 2022, 57% of our Towers were between 30 and 60 meters in height, and 32% of our Towers were smaller than 30 meters, including 12% of which were rooftop sites. We build larger Towers when circumstances require, including when Towers will be located in valleys or require a greater range of transmission. As of December&#160;31, 2022, 9% of our Towers are between 60 and 75 meters, and 3% are taller than 75 meters. As of December&#160;31, 2022, the average age of Towers in our portfolio based on our date of integration was 6.2 years.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">68</p></div></div>

MNOs, in turn, use our tower infrastructure to provide wireless voice and data services to their end users. We lease space to customers on existing Towers alongside current Tenants, known as Colocation, as well as lease additional space to existing Tenants on Towers for the installation of additional equipment through Lease Amendments. We commission New Sites for construction to the MNOs&#8217; specifications and lease space on those newly built Towers. In certain of our markets, we also provide customers with the required power for their equipment.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Colocation</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Colocation is at the core of our business model as it allows us to leverage existing Towers to grow revenue and improve operating margins.

For example, an existing Tenant may choose to deploy an additional technology, such as 3G, 4G or 5G technology at the same site the Tenant is leasing, or an existing Tenant may seek to connect fiber to the Tower, which requires the provision of additional power for that connection.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our customers utilize different technologies, though active GSM technologies comprise the most prevalent type of technology on our Towers to date. Data demands continue to be a key factor in our markets and certain large MNOs have recently been upgrading their 4G networks and/or have already begun deploying 5G networks. These technologies require increased density for Towers and equipment, increasing the need for additional points of service and amplifying the need for Colocation.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">As subscriber density increases, tower operators deploy additional infill sites to deliver further capacity to areas of demand. This densification of the network is driven further by the deployment of 3G, 4G and 5G services, which are typically carried over higher frequency spectrum bands. The cell-sizes for these higher frequency bands are much smaller than, for example, a GSM 900 MHz cell, but the capacity that is delivered over a similar area is much higher and can therefore support high subscriber density and deliver higher voice and data traffic. The recent deployment of 3G/4G in lower frequency bands does not negate the need for densification, as it allows 3G and 4G coverage to be extended into more rural areas similar to 2G coverage. We expect MNOs in our markets to continue to service 2G, 3G and 4G technologies for many more&#160;years.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">69</p></div></div>

We have extensive New Site deployment experience, having built over 8,750 New Sites and have been a major provider to the market in New Sites since 2011. The average cost to build a typical macro New Site as of December 31, 2022 is in the range of $75,000 to $105,000 in our African and Middle East businesses, and in the range of $40,000 to $75,000 in our Latin America business.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">New Sites constructed consist primarily of ground-based towers, but can also include in-building solutions, rooftop and wall-mounted towers and cells-on-wheels. For New Sites, we retain ownership as well as the exclusive right to colocate additional Tenants on the tower. These New Sites always begin operations with at least a single tenant, with Colocation and Lease Amendments expected at future dates. We seek to construct New Sites only in locations where Key Customers are committed to be the initial tenant with optimal additional Colocation capacity, and therefore generally aim to only build Towers for customers in locations that have the potential to attract other customers. We strive to realize the operating leverage inherent in the tower business by leasing up the New Sites with additional tenancies. In Africa (excluding South Africa) and the Middle East, we aim to construct New Sites with the appropriate power systems for their location, which may include hybrid batteries and solar systems. In South Africa, we provide back-up power solutions as connection to the grid is the primary source of power. See &#8220;&#8212; Power and Power Management.&#8221; Given the operating model in Latin America, power systems are less relevant in these markets where the provision of power is a responsibility of the customer.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The entire process from receipt of work order to completion of New Site construction as of December 31, 2022 typically takes approximately 90 to 150&#160;days.

In other circumstances, we may selectively decommission sites of existing customers, including the ongoing rationalization program agreed with a Key Customer in Nigeria. While the decommissioning of Towers offsets our overall growth in the number of Towers, it allows us to eliminate duplicative cost of sales and ongoing maintenance capital expenditures of the decommissioned tower with only a marginal cost of sales increase at our retained sites through increased power consumption.

In-house personnel are responsible for oversight and supervision of all aspects of preventative and corrective maintenance and site management, including managing the operational aspects of customer relationships, managing structural engineering and tower capacity issues, ensuring proper signage, and supervision of independent contractors. We engage numerous suppliers to provide various services in connection with site acquisition, construction, access management, security and preventative and corrective maintenance of tower sites, as well as the supply of diesel to certain of our sites. As of December&#160;31, 2022, we had entered into outsourcing arrangements for certain services in respect of 77% of our sites.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">For example, we have outsourced power management, refurbishment, operations and maintenance and security functions at some of our sites to third-party contractors. These power management functions include the supply of diesel to certain sites and deployment of alternative power technologies that we configure and design, such as hybrid and solar power technologies, on certain sites, to help reduce diesel consumption to a contracted volume. Third-party contractors providing material operational services are subject to strict contractual execution targets for both financial and operational performance. By entering into these agreements, we are able to ensure the proper functioning of our sites and fix our costs by setting maximum costs per site (subject to typical inflation escalation) with the third-party contractor providing the services. In addition to the service level agreements that need to be maintained, outsourcing to contractors allows us to budget more effectively.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Site maintenance and management activities include:</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><i style="font-style:italic;">Site monitoring and control</i></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our NOCs are 24-hour fully operational management centers from which our personnel monitor and control the tower sites from a central location. Remote monitoring systems allow us to better monitor, regulate and control site conditions, including, among other things, site AC, DC, load, power consumption per tenant, diesel usage and tank levels, environmental alarms (shelter temperatures, smoke detectors, etc.) and remote access control. We have remote monitoring systems installed in six of our eleven markets covering 89% of our sites within these six countries (with monitoring of almost all remaining sites through MNO network operating centers). Our NOCs are operated 24 hours a day, seven&#160;days a week and monitor a variety of data sent from our Towers. Such data includes access and gate status, diesel supply, usage and quality, cabinet temperature and overall power uptime, consumption and supply. In South Africa, we currently rely on a transitional third party operations support system but expect to establish our own NOC in the market in 2023. Given the current operating environment in Latin America and no provision of service levels to customers, our businesses in Brazil, Peru and Colombia do not require NOCs.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The activities conducted in the NOCs ensure that we provide our customers with quality service and uptimes. We averaged a power uptime of 99.9% (excluding South Africa) across our tower portfolio in our African markets for the&#160;year ended December&#160;31, 2022, with an average mean time to repair of under two hours for the&#160;year ended December&#160;31, 2022.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><i style="font-style:italic;">Security</i></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The protection of our sites is key to ensuring the sustainability of our business. We ensure that our Towers generally have fencing and security lights and, where relevant, such as in our African markets, some of our sites are guarded by outsourced security guards. We apply rigorous access control policies at the sites and require each visitor to be pre-approved with customer representatives. Our remote monitoring systems also allow us to track all access to restricted areas on the sites.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Power and Power Management</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">The reliability of main grid electricity varies considerably across our footprint and determines, along with the requirements of any one site, the most appropriate power system for that site. Specifically in our African markets where there can be a lack of reliable main grid electricity supply, we currently source a substantial amount of our power needs for daily operations </p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">71</p></div></div>

As of December&#160;31, 2022, in our African markets (excluding South Africa), 42% of our sites were powered with hybrid power systems (a combination of diesel generators with solar and / or battery systems), 24% with only generators, 26% with grid connectivity and back-up generators, with the remaining 7% powered through only grid connectivity or solar power and other systems. As of December&#160;31, 2022, 8,804 of our sites in Africa, excluding South Africa, had solar power solutions, representing 35% of our African Tower portfolio (excluding South Africa). We, or third-party contractors we have engaged for certain sites, are responsible for monitoring the diesel levels of our generator tanks and scheduling diesel deliveries. Given the importance of diesel for the operation of our sites in many of our African markets, we may purchase diesel in large quantities, which is then stored at our facilities. In Latin America, South Africa, and Kuwait our sites are typically powered by grid solutions, with back-up power systems in certain instances.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">To address the costs associated with diesel generator usage and maintenance in our African markets (excluding South Africa), we deploy as practicable hybrid battery power systems, which involve alternating between power storage sources, such as batteries (VRLA and lithium ion) and diesel generators. On certain sites, we have also switched from using 3-phase AC generators to DC generators or single phase generators, which consume less diesel. We have also begun deploying hybrid solar power systems on certain sites. We continuously evaluate innovative power management technologies and solutions, including more efficient generators, hybrid battery systems and solar systems. We outsource certain services, including power management and site maintenance for our sites, which includes over 9,000 sites in Nigeria where we had deployed hybrid power systems, prior to Project Green. These systems use batteries and/or solar power systems, along with traditional generators, to reduce fuel costs and create a more consistent energy supply to increase network uptime for our customers. In Nigeria, the deployment of these power management solutions resulted in, on average, an approximately 50% reduction in diesel consumption per tower at the time of deployment on the more than 7,400 sites where we had deployed hybrid power solutions, which included solar power.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Under Project Green, the next significant step of our Carbon Reduction Roadmap, we expect to spend $214 million in capital expenditures between 2022 and 2024 towards connecting more sites to the electricity grid and via the deployment and integration of battery storage and solar panel solutions. In scope for Project Green are our operations in Cameroon, C&#244;te d&#8217;Ivoire, Kuwait, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Zambia.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Given the reliable grid connectivity and power pass through nature of most customer contracts in Kuwait and our Latin American markets, power management is less of a focus in these markets.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Replacement of power systems in cycles forms a significant part of our annual maintenance capital expenditures, which are in the range of $2,000 to $7,000 per Tower per&#160;year as of December 31, 2022 in our African and Middle East businesses. Given the different power environment in our Latin America business, annual maintenance capital expenditures are currently less than $500 per tower per&#160;year.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Fiber Services</b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In certain of our markets, we have begun providing certain fiber services, including the deployment and operation of fiber access networks and infrastructure. In Brazil, through our I-Systems subsidiary, we deploy and operate a fiber infrastructure that is primarily rented back to TIM Brasil (as anchor client), and in the future other customers, for their provision of residential broadband services to consumers, which is referred to as a Fiber-to-the-Home (&#8220;FTTH&#8221;) network. As part of the transaction that formed I-Systems, we inherited a legacy Fiber-to-the-Curb (&#8220;FTTC&#8221;) network that is also being upgraded to FTTH. I-Systems is responsible for the deployment of the relevant fiber node as well as the secondary fiber network connected to that node, including the fiber drop at a consumer&#8217;s premises. I-Systems is also responsible for the ongoing management and maintenance of that fiber network. As of December 31, 2022, the I-Systems network covers approximately 7.5 million homes passed (of which approximately 4.5 million are FTTH) and spans 18,000 route kilometers. In certain of our African markets, we also provide Fiber-to-the-Tower (&#8220;FTTT&#8221;) services, where we deploy fiber to towers that we own or operate and sell capacity to our customers to generate revenue.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Customer Lease Agreements</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We lease space on Towers to our customers pursuant to a combination of MLAs, which provide the commercial terms governing the lease of tower space, MLL agreements, and individual SLAs, where relevant, which act as an appendix to the relevant MLA, and include site-specific terms for each relevant tower.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Customer lease agreements, whether long-term lease agreements, master tower space use agreements or other MLAs such as Managed with License to Lease Agreements, or MLLs, are the principal agreement between the customer and us. </p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">72</p></div></div>

As of December&#160;31, 2022, the average remaining length of our MLAs was 6.6 years. An MLA typically has an initial term of 5 to 15 years and will stay in effect until the parties renew or sign a new tower lease agreement. When we acquire portfolios of towers or construct towers for customers in new markets, we typically sign an MLA with a minimum duration of 10&#160;years. A number of the MLAs with our customers are deemed automatically renewed if not cancelled by the stated expiration date. The material commercial terms of our MLAs are typical for the tower infrastructure industry in our markets and include contractual provisions setting out, among other things, pricing, renewal clauses, termination clauses, inflation-linked price escalations and, in certain cases, provisions designed to mitigate foreign exchange risk.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In addition to the other types of MLA described above, we also operate sites owned by an MNO through Managed with License to Lease Agreements. Where there is an MLL agreement, we have the right to lease out space on the tower to other MNOs and provide services, generating further revenue for us. The site owner reduces its operating costs, eliminates capital expenditures and frees up management time.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our MLL agreements typically have a term of 15&#160;years with a five-year renewal period. Our two current MLL Agreements also grant the Tenant the option to withdraw from five sites per&#160;year, not to exceed 50 sites across the full term, and provided there is no other Tenant on each site. As of December 31, 2022, the average remaining duration of our two MLL agreements was 5.5 years and the total number of Tenants on sites operated under MLL agreements is approximately 3,439.</p><p

was linked to the U.S. dollar, 11% of our revenue was linked to the euro and 8% of our revenue was linked to the cost of power through power indexation or power pass-through clauses. However, the manner in which these revenues are linked differs by lease agreement. The U.S. dollar-linked contracts with U.S. dollar revenue components typically have a formula for determining the U.S. dollar to local currency exchange rate over a period of time. For example, for the majority of MLAs in Nigeria, the U.S. dollar component of the&#160;monthly lease fee is converted to Naira for settlement at a fixed conversion rate for a stated period of time. The conversion rate in such MLAs is reset after a period of one month, three&#160;months, six&#160;months or a maximum of 12&#160;months. Of our 40% of revenue linked to the U.S. dollar for the&#160;year ended December&#160;31, 2022, 4% reset on a&#160;monthly basis, 87% reset on a quarterly basis, 3% reset on a semi-annual basis and 7% reset on an annual basis. While we reached agreement in 2020 with our Key Customers in Nigeria to update the reference exchange rate in our contracts to the prevailing market rate available on Bloomberg (which has typically been aligned to the NAFEX rate), historically, the conversion rates included in some of our MLAs was different to the rates at which our financial results have been translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. For example, as described under Item&#160;3.D. &#8220;Risk Factors&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;Risk Relating to our Business&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;The existence of multiple foreign exchange markets with different exchange rates may impact the rate at which our operating subsidiaries&#8217; financial results are translated into U.S. dollars for group reporting purposes, which may impact our financial condition and/or results of operations,&#8221; in April&#160;2017, the CBN introduced a new foreign exchange window for investors and exporters that resulted in the conversion rates for our MLAs for our Nigerian operations to be different from the rates at which our financial results were translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. As of January&#160;1, 2018, our financial results in Nigeria are translated into U.S. dollars based on the NAFEX rate, which differed from the rates included in some of our MLAs until the amendments </p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">73</p></div></div>

Certain of our other contracts, such as in C&#244;te d&#8217;Ivoire and Cameroon, are linked to foreign currencies such as the euro because they are based on local currencies that are &#8220;pegged&#8221; to such foreign currencies. In South Africa, Kuwait and Latin America, our MLAs are based on local currency pricing with no direct foreign exchange link or conversion mechanism. See also Item&#160;3.D. &#8220;Risk Factors&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;Risks Relating to Our Business&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;We and our customers face foreign exchange risks, which may be material.&#8221;</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We also benefit from power indexation and power pass-through clauses in some of our MLAs. Such power indexation clauses provide pass-through provisions in relation to increased diesel prices. For example, in certain MLAs where there is a certain&#160;percentage increase or decrease in the per liter price of diesel above or below an agreed base price, such&#160;percentage increase or decrease is also applied to a portion of the full&#160;monthly lease fee. Some of our MLAs also have power-pass through clauses, where the cost of electricity charged by a utility provider is passed through to the customer. These provisions help us mitigate exposure to volatility in power costs including diesel prices. For the&#160;year ended December&#160;31, 2022, 8% of revenue was linked to the cost of power through power indexation or power pass-through clauses.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Except for certain material events of default, our MLAs may only be terminated prior to the agreed termination date according to the agreed notice period. As a result, we believe that revenue earned from lease fees provide a highly visible and recurring revenue stream. As of December&#160;31, 2022, the average remaining length of our MLAs was 6.6 years, with an average remaining lease term of 7.6 years.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="background:#ffffff;">While a number of the MLAs with our customers are deemed automatically renewed if not cancelled by the stated expiration date, we regularly keep upcoming renewal or expiry dates under review, and engage in discussions with customers from time-to-time regarding such matters. For instance, an MLA with a customer in Cote d&#8217;Ivoire is up for renewal in the first half of 2023 with renewal discussions ongoing, MLAs with certain customers in Zambia and Rwanda are up for renewal in 2024 and MLAs with certain customers in Nigeria and Zambia are up for renewal in 2025. </span>We expect that our MLAs and MLLs will generally experience a high renewal rate because (i)&#160;the locations of many of the Towers are critical to the efficient and cost effective operation of the Tenants&#8217; telecommunications networks, (ii)&#160;there are cost and time implications to our customers associated with re-configuring antenna equipment across multiple towers when relocating, (iii)&#160;there is often a lack of alternative sites and other operators within a required proximity, and (iv)&#160;there are site acquisition, regulatory compliance issues and other barriers associated with the construction of New Sites and the relocation of antenna equipment.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Site Lease Agreements</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In addition to the MLA, where a customer requests new space for additional Colocation or New Sites, pursuant to some of our existing MLAs, we sometimes also enter into one or more SLAs with that customer, which include certain site-specific arrangements. The tenure of an SLA varies between 5 and 10&#160;years depending on the length of the underlying MLA and typically includes renewal clauses based on certain agreed conditions. The material commercial terms will be agreed in the relevant MLA, with the SLA including site-specific terms such as equipment loading.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Renewals of SLAs are generally linked to the extension of the term of the related MLA.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Lease Fees</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Lease fees for the services we provide are normally invoiced to Tenants in advance or arrears on a&#160;monthly or quarterly basis. The average lease fee received from a new tenant is generally fixed for the initial term of the MLA or MLL, which generally include an annual inflation-linked escalation, and cover:</p><table style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:10pt;margin-top:0pt;table-layout:fixed;width:100%;border:0pt;"><tr><td style="width:18pt;"></td><td style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;vertical-align:text-top;white-space:nowrap;width:18pt;padding:0pt;">&#9679;</td><td style="padding:0pt;"><span style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">Power requirements;</span></td></tr></table><table style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:10pt;margin-top:0pt;table-layout:fixed;width:100%;border:0pt;"><tr><td style="width:18pt;"></td><td style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;vertical-align:text-top;white-space:nowrap;width:18pt;padding:0pt;">&#9679;</td><td style="padding:0pt;"><span style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">Amount of ground and tower space that the Tenants</span><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">&#8217;</span><span style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;"> equipment and specifications require, including the size of the tenant</span><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">&#8217;</span><span style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">s antenna equipment located on the tower and the ground space necessary for the tenant</span><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">&#8217;</span><span style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">s electronic and other equipment related to the antenna; and</span></td></tr></table><table style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;table-layout:fixed;width:100%;border:0pt;"><tr><td style="width:18pt;"></td><td style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;vertical-align:text-top;white-space:nowrap;width:18pt;padding:0pt;">&#9679;</td><td style="padding:0pt;"><span style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">Site location.</span></td></tr></table><div style="margin-top:10pt;"></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">For certain customers, we also charge lease fees on the basis of the type of technology employed by the customer, which includes a defined amount of space and power as necessary for such technology.

contract structure, tenor and payment frequency. In most of the African markets in which we operate (excluding South Africa), ground lease fees are generally paid in advance, for a one, five, or ten-year portion of the overall duration of the lease, with typically pre-agreed lease fee increases of between 3% and 40% for each subsequent three, five or ten-year period. In our South Africa business where we also have multi-year ground lease contracts, we typically pay our ground leases fees monthly in advance. Since advance payments for ground lease fees typically represent a substantial rental yield for the landlord, in our experience, ground leases are, in most cases, not difficult to obtain or renew. In our Latin American businesses, the lease costs are typically paid&#160;monthly in arrear and passed through to the customers. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our ground leases are typically renewed between three and 12&#160;months prior to expiration. If terminated by the landlord, the unearned portion of the rent is typically reimbursed to us. In the last few&#160;years, we have sought to purchase the freehold interest in the tower site land rather than maintain the lease interest. As of December&#160;31, 2022, we own the land for 9% of our sites. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Sales and Marketing</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">We aim to generate additional Colocation and Lease Amendments through actively promoting tower sharing in our markets. We offer the largest portfolios in many of the countries in which we operate and use our experience and expertise to enable our customers to broaden their range of network leasing options. Our sales and marketing team is in regular discussions with customers to identify whether the existing Towers can fulfill new tenancy demand, or if the customers may require a New Site. In many cases, customers prefer a Colocation option due to a faster time-to-market advantage.

style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Churn refers to the loss of tenancies when services provided by us are terminated, a tenant does not renew its contract or we have ceased recognizing revenue for sites under a customer&#8217;s contract. For example, a tenant may Churn if the MLA or SLA is not renewed at the end of its term, the customer ceases operations or switches to a competing tower company. Other than a customer Churning at the end of the term of its MLA or SLA, our MLAs generally contain limited termination clauses. Certain of our customer agreements also contain a contractual right to Churn a limited number of sites each&#160;year without penalty. When we decommission a site and move a customer from one of our sites to another site to rationalize our portfolio, this is not included in Churn.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We experienced Churn in the&#160;years ended December&#160;31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, of 603, 1,283 and 381 Tenants, respectively. The Churn that we have historically experienced from our Key Customers has been limited.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">76</p></div></div>

We operate a procurement and supply chain network with dedicated employees across the countries in which we operate. Our procurement and supply chain operations aim to take advantage of opportunities to leverage our scale across the countries in which we operate, as appropriate, to try to optimize the efficiency of our supply network in a sustainable manner.

We compete with other global tower companies, both for new business and for the acquisition of assets.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We believe we are the market leader in Africa by tower count as of December 31, 2022, with 30,845 towers. ATC is our primary competitor in Africa among independent tower companies, including in Nigeria and South Africa, and Helios Towers Plc and SBA are other notable competitors in Africa. In Brazil, the competitive landscape is wider as of December 31, 2022, with ATC and SBA owning more towers than we do as of December 31, 2022, and numerous smaller tower companies of similar size to or smaller than our business. The Brazilian and South African competitive landscapes present opportunities for consolidation. We also compete to a lesser extent with telecommunications operators who have retained their own towers and continue to manage them and make them available for Colocation. In certain circumstances, we also compete with owners of alternative site structures such as building rooftops, outdoor and indoor DAS networks, billboards and electric transmission towers. In addition, there may be increased competition in the future from other independent tower companies operating in, or that may enter, our markets. In particular, we may face competition in Latin America from other operators who may have a substantially larger site portfolio or have operated in the region for a longer period of time than we have.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In our Nigeria and SSA segments, we have over the years built many New Sites for our major customers. In Brazil, New Sites forms a key part of our organic growth strategy and prior to the CSS Acquisition, the CSS business was a market leader in New Site volumes.

The regulations and procedures guiding the operation, location and leasing of telecommunications towers are generally drawn from national, state and local legislation, regulations and administrative consents from the relevant government or governmental authorities in each jurisdiction in which we operate.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In each relevant jurisdiction, specific consents and/or permits are required to erect and own masts and towers. These consents generally relate to building or construction permits, property or land use permits, environmental permits and aviation clearance permits. As we continue to expand our offering to include services like fiber connectivity, rural offerings and other verticals, we may be subject to increased regulatory, license and permit obligations (including in respect of active telecommunications elements that may comprise part of the arrangements with customers). Non-compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, licenses, consents and permits may lead to shut down and/or decommissioning orders relating to the sites and/or monetary fines and/or an inability to continue our business or pursue new business lines or investments.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">License to operate</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Most of the jurisdictions in which we currently operate have a license or authorization regime to operate a passive communications infrastructure business.

The number of permits, payments and consents relating to land usage tends to be higher in Nigeria and Brazil, largely due to the administrative structure of the Nigerian government (generally divided between federal, state and local government authorities). In Rwanda, RURA operates as the single provider of all relevant permits and grants any relevant building permit relating to sites after permissions or non-objections have been received from local and environmental authorities.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Consequences for failure to obtain building or construction permits may include a requirement to dismantle a tower which, in some areas, such as Lagos state in Nigeria, may be at the expense of the owner of the tower.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In addition to the permits and authorizations referred to above, we must enter into agreements relating to the right of land usage for each site on which a tower is located. This can take the form of a lease agreement, a concession agreement or title documentation for those sites where we have acquired the underlying land. In some countries, such as Cameroon, C&#244;te d&#8217;Ivoire and Nigeria, a lease agreement needs to be registered with the relevant authorities. See &#8220;&#8212; Real Property Leases.&#8221;</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Civil Aviation</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Aviation regulations may apply to the building and operation of towers. While in the majority of cases, aviation regulations provide for a one-off clearance by the respective civil aviation authority prior to the construction of a site located in the vicinity of an airport, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has a broader remit and requires a&#160;yearly renewal approval certificate in addition to prior consent before the construction of towers and masts installed within 15 kilometers of any airport, or within the proximity of helicopter pads and their approaches.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The Brazilian Civil Aviation Authority requires tower sites to obtain an approval certificate that must be renewed&#160;yearly. The Civil Aviation regulation in our other countries of operation typically encompasses an obligation to provide security lighting on towers and/or to paint them a certain color.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Others</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In most of the countries where we operate, zoning restrictions and certain other restrictions may apply to tower construction. Any applicable radius requirements will largely depend on whether the construction is in an urban or rural area, and sometimes on the height of the structure. For example, in Nigeria, towers in excess of 55 meters in height may not be built within a one kilometer radius of another tower without the Nigerian Communications Commission&#8217;s prior consent, and there may also be set-back requirements based on distance to certain controlled access areas, roads or high voltage power transmission lines; in Cameroon, the minimum distance required between sites is generally 750 meters in residential areas and two kilometers in non-residential areas; and in Rwanda, the minimum distance required between sites is generally 500 meters in urban areas and one kilometer in rural areas. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In addition to the main licenses, permits and consents listed above, additional regulations may also apply to certain operations. For example, depending on the location of a site, a Lagos State Infrastructure Maintenance Agency (previously the Urban Furniture Regulatory Unit) consent may be required in Nigeria, which may require a tower to be painted a certain color or to be disguised, and the Federal Capital Development Authority may require a tower situated in Abuja to be disguised.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="font-size:9pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">79</p></div></div>

We may be required to obtain permits, pay additional property taxes, comply with regulatory requirements and make certain informational filings related to hazardous substances or devices used to provide power such as batteries, generators and diesel at our sites.

In Rwanda and Zambia, the construction of a site requires a one-off prior approval from several environmental and local government authorities (the permit is ultimately granted by RURA, which is the single approver for all regulatory authorizations for our activities in Rwanda, and the Zambia Environmental Management Agency for our activities in Zambia). Similarly, in Brazil, Colombia and Peru, prior approval from the local environmental agency may be required before any new site is built and additional environmental authorizations might be required for sites built in protected areas. In Nigeria, environmental authorizations are required at two stages: the Federal Ministry of Environment requires an Environmental Impact Assessment to be issued prior to the construction of a site and every three&#160;years after a site is built an Environmental Audit Certificate needs to be issued or renewed by the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency in respect of such site. In South Africa, the construction of a site requires a one-off environment permit prior approval from the Department of Environmental Affairs.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Insurance </b></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We have insurance policies in relation to (i)&#160;property damage, business interruption and erection/construction, (ii)&#160;political violence, (iii)&#160;third-party liability and (iv)&#160;directors&#8217; and officers&#8217; liability.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We maintain an all-risks policy for property damage, business interruption and erection/construction.

Our investment in communications infrastructure aims to help connect individuals, businesses and communities to one another. As mobile connectivity reaches more people, and is consumed in more diverse modes, it creates more jobs, and greater opportunities for people, businesses and communities to thrive and prosper. As a critical element of the telecommunications value chain in our markets, we help deliver connectivity across our eleven-country footprint, which has a combined population of approximately 770 million people. This is crucial in emerging and less developed markets where the need for digital infrastructure and connectivity is particularly high. We provide infrastructure to be shared by multiple customers, rather than duplicating investment and infrastructure build.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Additionally, our business model allows us to tackle significant community issues through providing our infrastructure, such as a lack of reliable power in our African markets and an over reliance on GHG emitting diesel generators, as well as a lack of digital connectivity in rural communities.

We are the largest independent multinational emerging-market-only tower operator and one of the largest independent multinational tower operators globally, in each case by tower count. As of December 31, 2022, we operated 39,652 Towers across seven countries in Africa, three countries in Latin America and one country in the Middle East. We are the largest tower operator in seven of the eleven markets in which we operate and we are the only independent tower operator of scale in four of these markets<span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';">.</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We have a well-defined organic and inorganic expansion strategy designed to grow in existing markets with our existing and new customers and, given the significant global emerging market opportunities in communications infrastructure, enter carefully selected growth oriented markets with compelling underlying fundamentals. Historically, our business has been predominantly focused on Towers, however we recently started complementing this with investment into adjacent communications infrastructure offerings for our customers such as fiber connectivity. In March 2022, we acquired 2,115 Towers pursuant to the GTS SP5 Acquisition. In May 2022, we closed the transaction with MTN South Africa to acquire its tower portfolio comprising of 5,691 Towers and for the provision of power Managed Services to MTN South Africa. In September 2022, IHS Kuwait completed the fifth stage of the acquisition from Zain Kuwait comprising of 43 Towers<span style="font-family:'Segoe UI';">. </span>Each of these acquisitions supports our inorganic growth strategy of expanding into additional regions that meet our investment criteria, which opens up new markets that we believe will provide future organic and inorganic growth opportunities.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our core business is providing shared communications infrastructure services to MNOs and other customers, who in turn provide wireless voice, data and fiber access services to their end users and subscribers. We provide our customers with opportunities to lease space on existing Towers alongside current Tenants, known as Colocation, to install additional equipment on a Tower or request certain ancillary services, known as Lease Amendments, or to commission the construction of new Towers to the customer&#8217;s specifications, known as New Sites. Additionally, we lease space to our customers in secure locations within large building complexes, such as shopping malls, stadiums and airports, which we refer to as in-building solutions, or IBS, or distributed antenna systems, or DAS, as well as provide fiber connectivity. In certain strategic instances, we may also provide Managed Services, such as maintenance, security and power supply for Towers owned by third parties. As of December&#160;31, 2022, our owned and operated tower portfolio supported 58,573 Tenants, with a Colocation Rate of 1.48x.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our primary customers are the leading MNOs in each of our markets. We also provide infrastructure and services to a number of other communications service providers. Our success in establishing deep customer relationships and operational excellence has enabled us to grow both organically and through 22 transactions, building a footprint that currently covers Nigeria, C&#244;te d&#8217;Ivoire, Cameroon, Rwanda, South Africa, Zambia, Brazil, Peru, Colombia and Kuwait. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Reportable Segments</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our operations are organized into four segments, which reflect the way our chief operating decision maker, or CODM, is provided with financial information which aligns to internal regional management organizational reporting lines and responsibilities and the way in which the CODM analyzes performance and allocates resources. Our operating segments are Nigeria, which comprises our operations in Nigeria; Sub Saharan Africa, or SSA, which comprises our operations in Cameroon, C&#244;te d&#8217;Ivoire, Rwanda, South Africa and Zambia; Latin America, or Latam, which comprises our operations in Brazil, Colombia and Peru; and the Middle East and North Africa, or MENA, which comprises our operations in Kuwait and Egypt. Although full operations in Egypt have not commenced, the business has incurred some startup costs.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We use revenue and Segment Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of our reportable segments. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is our principal segment measure of profitability.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">84</p></div></div>

Specifically, organic revenue captures the impact of (i)&#160;new Colocation and Lease Amendments; (ii)&#160;changes in pricing including from contractual lease fee escalation, power indexation and foreign exchange resets; (iii) New Site construction; (iv) fiber connectivity and (v) any impact of Churn and decommissioning. In the case of an acquisition of new tower portfolios or businesses, the impact of any incremental revenue after the date of acquisition from new Colocation and Lease Amendments or changes in pricing on the Towers acquired, including from contractual lease fee escalation and foreign exchange resets, is also captured within organic revenue.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Inorganic revenue captures the impact on revenue from existing Tenants of new tower portfolios or businesses that we have acquired since the beginning of the prior period (except as described above). Where tower portfolios or businesses were acquired during the current period under review, inorganic revenue is calculated as the revenue contribution from those acquisitions in their &#8220;at acquisition&#8221; state (measured as the local currency revenue generated during the first full&#160;month following the acquisition) in the current period. This treatment continues for 12&#160;months following acquisition. In March 2022, we acquired an aggregate of 2,115 Towers in Brazil, pursuant to the GTS SP5 Acquisition, which added 2,998 Tenants. In May 2022, we completed the MTN SA Acquisition, which added 5,691 Towers and 7,017 Tenants and includes an agreement for the provision of power Managed Services to MTN SA. In September 2022, IHS Kuwait completed the fifth stage of the acquisition from Zain Kuwait comprising of 43 Towers and 43 Tenants. We therefore have inorganic revenue for the twelve&#160;months ended December&#160;31, 2022.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Non-core captures the impact of movements in foreign exchange rates on the translation of the results of our local operations from their local functional currency into U.S. dollars, which is measured by the difference in U.S. dollars between (i)&#160;revenue in local currency converted at the average foreign exchange rate for that period and (ii)&#160;revenue in local currency converted at the average foreign exchange rate for the prior period. This foreign currency impact is then partially compensated for in subsequent periods by foreign exchange reset mechanisms, which are captured in organic revenue.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The organic and non-core components of our revenue cannot be considered independently from each other in assessing, for instance, what the impact on organic revenue would have been in the absence of change in the foreign exchange rate. In fact, the periodic (quarterly, semi-annually or annually) nature of our reset mechanisms is such that there is a delay between the period during which a change in foreign exchange rate occurs and the next contractual reset occurs.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Foreign exchange resets are generally included in MLAs where lease fees are linked to currencies other than the local currency (for example, MLAs in Nigeria with U.S. dollar components). MLAs with foreign exchange resets typically contain a mechanism for determining the foreign exchange rate for a set period at which the lease fee linked to the non-local currency (such as U.S. dollar) is translated into local currency and invoiced to the customer. In such cases, the foreign exchange rate determined by this mechanism is reset quarterly, semi-annually or annually.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The foreign exchange resets function such that the portion of lease fees that is linked to U.S. dollars and the portion of lease fees that is linked to local currency are fixed in local currency for the contractual period between reset dates (for example, for a period of one&#160;year if the reset is annual). As a result, in the event of a devaluation, there is a delay between the timing of the devaluation and the next contractual reset.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">During the period between the date of the devaluation and the date of the reset, all of our revenue (i.e., both revenue that is contractually linked to the U.S. dollar and revenue that is contractually linked to local currency) would reflect the new, devalued foreign exchange rate. When the reset is effected, the amount relating to the portion of the lease fees linked to the U.S. dollar, which is invoiced in local currency, is adjusted upward.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In addition, the conversion rates included in our MLAs may also be different from the rates at which our financial results are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">This has resulted in a situation where there are differing exchange rates in the market and we are required to regularly monitor and evaluate which exchange rate is most appropriate to apply in the translation of the Naira books of our Nigerian operations to U.S. dollars for our consolidated group reporting purposes. The determination of which is the most appropriate rate to use at the relevant time we produce financial information will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, availability and liquidity in the market generally. The foreign exchange rate that we determine to be the most appropriate </p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">85</p></div></div>

In addition, other measures taken by the relevant authorities and/or the CBN may further impact the rates available in the market, and we may need to consider such measures for the purposes of our accounts.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">While a number of the MLAs with our customers are deemed automatically renewed if not cancelled by the stated expiration date, we regularly keep upcoming renewal or expiry dates under review, and engage in discussions with customers from time-to-time regarding such matters. For instance, an MLA with a customer in Cote d&#8217;Ivoire is up for renewal in the first half of 2023 with renewal discussions ongoing, MLAs with certain customers in Zambia and Rwanda are up for renewal in 2024 and MLAs with certain customers in Nigeria and Zambia are up for renewal in 2025. No assurance can be given that our customers will renew their customer lease agreements upon expiration of those agreements or that customers will not request unfavorable amendments to existing agreements, or that we will be successful in negotiating favorable terms with these customers.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Factors Affecting Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our financial condition and results of operations have been, and will continue to be, affected by a number of important factors, including the following:</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">New Colocation and Lease Amendments</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Colocation and Lease Amendments are key drivers of incremental organic revenue in communications infrastructure sharing. Colocation involves adding new tenants to existing sites, where the addition of an incremental tenant to an existing site can introduce a full additional lease fee. Lease Amendments involve adding additional equipment or providing certain ancillary services at existing sites for existing Tenants and for a recurring lease fee. Examples of Lease Amendments include an existing customer taking more space on a tower, adding equipment for new technologies, such as 3G, 4G/LTE or 5G, adding additional microwave transmission or fiber infrastructure services, as well as certain ancillary services. A Lease Amendment typically increases revenue by a proportionally lower amount than a Colocation given such equipment typically consumes less space and power than a Colocation. However, gross margin contribution of a Lease Amendment is generally comparable to a Colocation.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Colocation and Lease Amendments improve overall gross margins, operating margins and cash flow given the limited incremental cost to deliver such services. Typically, the main incremental cost to deliver Colocation or Lease Amendments is $6,000 to $10,000 in one-off augmentation capital expenditure. Additionally, in our African markets, the main incremental ongoing cost for Colocation and Lease Amendments is power cost for the additional equipment or services. We continually seek to increase Colocation and Lease Amendments for our existing sites through an active sales and marketing process. Our sites that are either at or near structural capacity can also be strengthened to meet future leasing capacity with relatively minor capital investments.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The demand for Colocation and Lease Amendments from MNOs is driven by multiple communications industry characteristics within our individual markets. These characteristics include the MNOs&#8217; need for greater network coverage and network density due to existing capacity- constrained networks, a desire to improve quality-of-service, increasing subscriber demand for wireless voice and data services requiring a denser network than is the case for voice services, as well as changes in and the development of technologies in those markets.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Contractual lease fee escalation and foreign exchange resets</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Our MLAs generally contain annual inflation-linked escalation provisions under which the underlying lease fees, and therefore our revenue, may increase each&#160;year. These contractual escalators are typically linked to the consumer price index, or CPI, of the country of operation and/or the United States, depending on the underlying currency denomination of the lease fee. Lease fee components priced in local currency typically have escalators linked to local CPI applied annually for the subsequent 12&#160;months. Lease fee components priced in U.S. dollars typically have escalators linked to U.S. CPI </p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">86</p></div></div>

For further discussion on these foreign exchange resets, please refer to &#8220;&#8212; Our Revenue.&#8221;</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">New Site construction</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">New Site construction is a key driver of incremental organic revenue through the customer revenue we invoice from the date the New Site becomes ready for service. New Site construction is also a component of discretionary capital expenditure. Building New Sites requires capital expenditure, principally including materials for the tower, power equipment, land lease fees or land purchase fees, tower construction activities, including civil work, transportation and labor, as well as ongoing operational expenditures for site operation and maintenance. Therefore, construction of New Sites increases our capital expenditures and cost of sales. We pursue construction of New Sites as a key strategy in growing our tower portfolio and providing future capacity for Colocation and Lease Amendments. We do not engage in speculative building and only construct New Sites after obtaining a commitment for a long-term lease with an initial tenant and, in general, if we are aware of, or believe there is, commercial potential for Colocation.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Demand for New Sites from MNOs is typically driven by multiple communications industry characteristics within our individual markets. These characteristics include the MNOs&#8217; need for greater network coverage and network density due to existing capacity-constrained networks, a desire to improve quality-of-service, increasing subscriber demand for wireless voice and data services requiring a denser network than is the case for voice services, as well as changes in and the development of technologies in those markets. For example, we often see an increase in demand for New Sites as new technology is rolled out in markets, such as 3G or 4G.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">New Sites constructed consist primarily of ground-based towers, but can also include in-building solutions / distributed antenna systems, rooftop towers and cells-on-wheels. These New Sites always begin operations with at least a single Tenant, with Colocation and Lease Amendments expected at future dates. The average cost to build a New Site in our African and Middle East markets is typically in the range of between $75,000 and $105,000, while in Latin America the cost is typically in the range of between $40,000 and $75,000 depending on the market of operation and specification of the tower.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Consequently, the construction of New Sites has a positive effect on revenue, and as Colocation and Lease Amendments occur on the tower, we expect to drive incremental organic revenue and have a positive effect on gross margins and operating margins.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Churn</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;">Churn refers to the loss of tenancies when services provided by us are terminated, a Tenant does not renew its contract or we have ceased recognizing revenue on a site in any particular period, adjusted for the reintegration of previously lost tenancies. For example, a Tenant may Churn if the relevant MLA or SLA is not renewed at the end of its term, the customer ceases operations or switches to a competing tower company. Other than a customer Churning at the end of the term of its MLA or SLA, our MLAs generally contain limited termination clauses. Certain of our customer agreements also contain a contractual right to Churn a limited number of sites each year without penalty.</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;">We experienced Churn in the year ended December 31, 2022 of 603 Tenants. The Churn that we have historically experienced from our Key Customers has been limited.</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Decommissioning</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">In connection with the acquisition of portfolios of sites, we rationalize our portfolio where we have multiple towers in close proximity to each other. Where economically and commercially viable, we migrate Tenants from one tower onto a nearby tower as an additional Colocation and then subsequently decommission the empty site. Decommissioning spend is a component of discretionary capital expenditure. While the decommissioning of towers offsets our overall growth in the </p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">87</p></div></div>

The retained sites benefit from lease fees relocated from the decommissioned site and generally only experience a marginal increase in cost of sales due to increased power consumption. The spend associated with decommissioning a site is approximately between $20,000 to $30,000. Since the beginning of 2018, we have decommissioned 339 Towers, and we continue to review our portfolio for further decommissioning opportunities.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Acquisitions of tower portfolios</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The acquisition of tower portfolios and businesses from MNOs and independent tower companies results in incremental inorganic revenue during the period in which the acquisitions occur. Acquisitions of tower portfolios result in the immediate increase in the size of our overall portfolio and help expand our footprint in existing and new markets. Once towers are acquired, we receive revenue from the Tenants and Lease Amendments on such sites and we are responsible for future capital expenditures and costs of sales related to the sites. As we acquire new portfolios of towers, we may incur additional administrative expenses, particularly from acquisitions in new markets, which may impact our operating margins.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Currency exchange rate</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our operations are conducted by subsidiaries in Nigeria, C&#244;te d&#8217;Ivoire, Cameroon, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Kuwait, Brazil, Colombia and Peru, and the functional currency of our operating subsidiaries are the Nigerian Naira (&#8358;), West African CFA Franc (XOF), Central African CFA Franc (XAF), Zambian Kwacha (ZMW), Rwandan Franc (RWF), South African Rand (ZAR), Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD), Brazilian Real (BRL), Colombian Peso (COP), and Peruvian Sol (PEN), respectively. A foreign currency transaction is translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction (or the date of valuation where an item is re-measured). The foreign exchange gain or loss resulting from (i)&#160;the settlement of such transaction or (ii)&#160;the translation of a monetary asset or liability denominated in a foreign currency is recognized at the exchange rate at period end in the statement of income and comprehensive income.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our operating subsidiaries&#8217; financial results are then translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. Income and expenses are translated at the&#160;monthly average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions). Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate at period end.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">As a result of the translations described above, our results are impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. During the&#160;year ended December&#160;31, 2021, we experienced depreciation of the BRL, NGN, RWF, XAF and XOF currencies compared to the U.S. dollar, being the primary reason for net foreign exchange losses of $163.6 million, reflected in financing costs. During the&#160;year ended December&#160;31, 2022, we experienced depreciation of the NGN, RWF, XAF, XOF, ZAR and ZMW currencies and experienced an appreciation of the BRL, being the primary reasons for net foreign exchange losses of $365.1 million.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The reduction of foreign currency reserves in Nigeria, among other factors, led to a depreciation of the Naira NAFEX rate against the U.S. dollar from &#8358;410.3 to $1.00 as of January&#160;1, 2021 to &#8358;435.0 to $1.00 as of December&#160;31, 2021 and to &#8358;461.5 to $1.00 as of December&#160;31, 2022. The BRL also depreciated against the U.S. dollar, from BRL5.2 to $1.00 as of January&#160;1, 2021 to BRL5.6 to $1.00 as of December&#160;31, 2021, but then appreciated against the U.S. dollar to BRL5.2 to $1.00 as of December&#160;31, 2022. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Multiple foreign exchange markets with different exchange rates</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In Nigeria, there are multiple exchange rates available and/or referenced by the applicable banking authorities. Where such differences exist, we may be required to change the exchange rate applied to the translation of the local currency books of our operating subsidiaries to U.S. dollars for our consolidated group reporting purposes. Where multiple official exchange rates exist, we assess the appropriate rate to use in accordance with the requirements of IFRS in translating foreign operations or foreign transactions. In determining the appropriate rate, we assess factors such as access to those rates in the future in order to meet payments or make dividends in the appropriate currency. In determining whether it is appropriate to move from one official rate to another, we consider the available rates in official markets for settlement of transactions.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">For example, during 2017, CBN introduced a new foreign exchange window, which includes the NAFEX rate. This resulted in the use of several different official exchange rates in the market, leading us to assess that the NAFEX rate was the most appropriate exchange rate to apply in translating foreign currency transactions in our Nigerian businesses and in translating Naira amounts for group reporting purposes from December&#160;31, 2017 onwards. As of May&#160;31, 2021, the CBN ceased </p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">88</p></div></div>

The CBN now publishes the NAFEX rate on its website.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">As a result of switching to the NAFEX rate for translation of U.S. dollar denominated balances in our Nigerian subsidiaries and for consolidation purposes at December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, prior to the agreements that we reached with certain of our Key Customers in Nigeria to update the reference exchange rate in our contracts to the prevailing market rate available on Bloomberg, the rate used for translating our results for group reporting purposes had historically been higher than the conversion rates contained within our contracts in Nigeria. Most significantly, our contracts with MTN Nigeria previously contained clauses which determined that a portion of the lease fee paid to IHS Towers was based on a pre-agreed U.S. dollar lease fee converted into Naira at the time of invoicing at the prevailing CBN rate. On July 23, 2020, we amended these contracts with MTN Nigeria so that, among other things, the reference foreign exchange rate for converting the U.S. dollar portion of the lease fees into Naira was changed to the prevailing USD exchange rate of NAFEX, defined within the contracts with a reference to the USD/Naira rate published by Bloomberg. The effective date of the agreement with MTN Nigeria is April 1, 2020. However, the agreement with MTN Nigeria was concluded in July 2020 and, as such, the financial impact of any amendments to billing in the second quarter of 2020 resulting from the agreement were reflected in our results for the third quarter of 2020.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In 2020, the CBN rate that was used as the reference foreign exchange rate for determining the majority of our lease fees subject to the relevant reset mechanism was an average of NGN352.6 to $1.00, while the NAFEX rate used for our accounts was an average of NGN382.0 to $1.00. As a result, our revenue for the&#160;year ended December&#160;31, 2020 of $1,403 million, respectively, was negatively impacted by the reduction in our lease fees received from MTN of approximately $19 million, respectively, as a result of using the CBN exchange rate as the reference exchange rate rather than the NAFEX exchange rate.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">For further discussion on the impact of this change in exchange rates, please refer to &#8220;&#8212; Our Revenue.&#8221;</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Maintenance of sites</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We incur capital expenditure in relation to the maintenance of our towers and fiber infrastructure, which is non-discretionary in nature and required in order for us to optimally run our portfolio and to perform in line with our service level agreements with customers. Maintenance capital expenditure includes the periodic repair and replacement of fixtures and fittings and power equipment at existing sites. A large component of maintenance capital expenditure is for the replacement and servicing of generators and batteries at our sites, which may decrease, should the grid availability in our markets improve. Maintenance capital expenditure per Tower is typically in the range of $2,000 to $7,000 per&#160;year in our African and Middle East markets. In addition to this corrective maintenance capital expenditure, maintenance costs are also incurred in cost of sales where these relate to preventive maintenance that includes the replacement of spare parts and routine checks. Maintenance capital expenditure in Latin America is typically lower given the current scope of maintenance required on Towers.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Typically, when we acquire a tower portfolio, it may be necessary to refurbish the newly acquired Towers in order to bring them to the standard of the rest of our portfolio.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Refurbishment capital expenditures typically involve the deployment of a suitable power system for that site, repairs to the site or improvements to the site structure in order to be in line with our safety obligations, and adaptations to site security and monitoring abilities. Refurbishment capital expenditures are one-off in nature, following which those sites should then have normalized maintenance capital expenditure requirements related to the maintenance of sites as described above. Refurbishment capital expenditure is a component of discretionary capital expenditure since it is typically considered in conjunction with the acquisition of tower portfolios. The capital expenditure associated with refurbishment varies from market to market and tower to tower. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Carbon reduction roadmap </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">On October 24, 2022, we announced our Carbon Reduction Roadmap which provides a comprehensive strategy for decreasing our operational emissions by reducing diesel usage on tower sites, including a goal to reduce the Scope 1 and Scope 2 kilowatt-hour emissions intensity of our tower portfolio by 2030, using 2021 emissions data as the baseline. With Project Green, the next step through which our Carbon Reduction Roadmap will be realized, we expect to spend approximately $214.0 million in capital expenditure towards these efforts between 2022 and 2024. The expected savings amount is based in large part on the assumptions we have made for reducing diesel consumption. </p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">89</p></div></div>

In scope for the Carbon Reduction Roadmap are our operations in Cameroon, C&#244;te d&#8217;Ivoire, Kuwait, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Zambia. However, Cameroon, C&#244;te d&#8217;Ivoire, Kuwait, Rwanda, and Zambia will only include connecting more sites to the grid. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The actual capital expenditure spend for the year ended December 31, 2022, is $103.6 million. The expected capital expenditure spend in 2023 is $90.0 million to $100.0 million.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Cost and consumption of diesel</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Power is our largest single operating expense and, in particular, diesel pricing typically has the largest impact on changes in our operating expense. The largest impact is in our Nigerian operations due to low power grid availability and our South African operations where they are connected to the grid and experience significant load shedding. Fluctuations in the price of oil and foreign exchange effects have a direct correlation to the price of diesel that we pay to suppliers in our markets. Falling oil prices should lower our costs, with the degree of reduction dependent on both foreign exchange effects and our diesel requirements. In the case of rising oil prices and the associated cost of diesel, we benefit in limited situations from power indexation clauses in some of our MLAs, which provide pass-through provisions in relation to increased diesel prices and conversely falling diesel prices. However, as the majority of our contracts do not have such pass-through provisions, we remain exposed to diesel price volatility, which may result in substantial increases in our operating costs and reduced profits if prices rise significantly and/or we are unable to enter into adequate cost pass-through arrangements. In Nigeria, to help mitigate against fluctuations in the price of diesel, we bulk buy diesel from time to time to take advantage of suitable pricing. Furthermore, we have been reducing our overall diesel consumption through targeted investment in power system solutions to provide power to sites more efficiently, including the use of hybrid and solar systems. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Due to the current volatility in oil prices largely as a result of the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the related global economic sanctions, the ICE Low Sulphur Gasoil price has increased significantly over the last twelve months from an average of $629/MT in the three month period ended December 31, 2021 to an average of $948/MT in the three month period ended December 31, 2022. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Cost of ground leases</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The majority of towers we own and operate are on land that we lease from individual landlords. Ground lease fees are generally paid in advance monthly or for a one, five, or ten-year portion of the overall duration of the lease (although in our South Africa business, we typically pay our ground leases fees monthly in advance), with typically pre-agreed lease fee increases of between 3% and 40% or variable increases for each subsequent one, three, five or ten-year period. As we roll out additional sites, we are often required to either enter into leases with new landlords, which we endeavor to do under similar terms to those of our existing leases, or acquire the land.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Customer concentration</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">A significant portion of our revenue in each of our markets of operation is derived from a small number of customers who usually constitute some of the largest MNOs in those markets. In particular, in the&#160;year ended December&#160;31, 2022, revenue from our top three MNO customers, considered in each of our individual markets of operation, collectively accounted for 96.6% of our consolidated revenue, with MTN Nigeria and Airtel Nigeria accounting for 50.1% and 14.3%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue for the&#160;year ended December&#160;31, 2022. Should there be any negative impact on the businesses of our major customers, including these key MNOs, this in turn could adversely affect their demand for tower space and/or ability to perform their obligations under their lease agreements with us. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Market volatility</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We and our customers operate in various international markets, particularly in emerging markets such as in Africa. As a result, we are exposed to economic, political and other uncertainties prevailing in such markets, particularly Nigeria, which is our largest market of operation. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">For example, in addition to the currency exchange rate and other factors noted above, our business has been negatively impacted by the tensions between the &#8220;Anglophone&#8221; and &#8220;Francophone&#8221; regions of Cameroon.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">90</p></div></div>

The rating action on IHS Holding was a direct consequence of the downgrade of the Government of Nigeria and the lowering of Nigeria&#39;s foreign currency country ceiling, both to B3. As a result, IHS Holding, which was previously constrained at the B2 ceiling, is now constrained at B3. The rating was placed on review for downgrade to reflect the outlook on the sovereign rating.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">On January 27, 2023, Moody&#8217;s downgraded the Government of Nigeria&#8217;s long-term foreign currency and local currency issuer ratings as well as its foreign currency senior unsecured debt ratings to Caa1 from B3 and changed the outlook to stable. Despite that downgrade, on February 1, 2023, Moody&#39;s did not downgrade IHS Holding, but instead confirmed the rating at B3. On February 3, 2023, S&amp;P affirmed Nigeria&#8217;s sovereign foreign and local currency credit rating at B-/B (B- for the long-term rating, B for the short-term rating) but moved the outlook to negative. On February 15, 2023, S&amp;P raised the long-term rating on IHS Holding and its senior unsecured notes to B+ from B with the outlook set as negative, which is two notches above S&amp;P&#39;s B- transfer and convertibility (T&amp;C) assessment for Nigeria.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Macroeconomic Issues</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-weight:normal;">A regional or global health pandemic, depending upon its duration and severity, could have a material adverse effect on our business. For example, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, governmental authorities around the world implemented various measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, and such measures adversely affected workforces, supply chains, ability to carry out operations, economies and financial markets and led to an economic downturn in many of our markets. In addition, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the global economy, depreciation of local currencies and/or a lack of sufficient availability of hard/international currencies, we may experience fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in many of the markets in which we operate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. Global deterioration in economic conditions in light of COVID-19 or other global health emergencies or events could adversely and materially affect us and/or our customers through disruptions of, among other things, the ability to procure communications equipment or other supplies through the usual supply chains. For instance, shortages of capacity in shipping may occur and could affect the smooth flow of our and/or our customers&#8217; supply chains, increase transportation costs and/or decrease reliability. Global deterioration in economic conditions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic or similar future outbreaks could also adversely and materially affect the ability of us and/or our customers to maintain liquidity and deploy network capital, with potential decreases in consumer spending contributing to liquidity risks, or even through regulatory interventions or pressure on pricing and services offered that may reduce revenue for periods of time. Any resulting financial difficulties could result in uncollectible accounts receivable or reduced revenue, despite having provided increased services. Resulting supply chain or operational difficulties (including site access) may also result in us being unable to meet the service level agreement targets under our MLAs. The loss of significant Tenants, or the loss of all or a portion of our anticipated Contracted Revenue from certain Tenants, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In the past, governments have taken, and may in the future take, unprecedented actions in an attempt to address and rectify these extreme market and economic conditions by providing liquidity and stability to financial markets. If these actions are not successful, the return of adverse economic conditions may cause a significant impact on our ability and the ability of our customers to raise capital, if needed, on a timely basis and on acceptable terms or at all.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic, or any similar future pandemic or related events could have a material adverse effect on our or our customers&#8217; business, financial condition, results of operations and/or liquidity, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in &#8220;Item 3.D. Risk Factors.&#8221;</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Key Financial and Operational Performance Indicators</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We believe that revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, non-discretionary capital expenditure, Recurring Levered Free Cash Flows (&#8220;RLFCF&#8221;), and Return Adjusted EBITDA, the number of Towers in our portfolio and Colocation Rate are key measures to assess our financial and operational performance. These measures demonstrate our ability to grow and generate strong positive cash flows over time. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, non-discretionary capital expenditure, RLFCF and Return Adjusted EBITDA are not measures defined by IFRS. The most directly comparable IFRS measure to Adjusted EBITDA, RLFCF and Return Adjusted EBITDA is our profit/(loss) for the period. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, RLFCF and Return Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to similarly referenced measures used by other companies. As a result, investors should not consider these performance measures in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, our results of operations as determined in accordance with IFRS.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">91</p></div></div>

Management uses this metric in order to measure the effectiveness of our capital allocation strategy, in a manner similar to metrics calculated by peers in the industry. Return Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure defined by IFRS, and other companies may calculate Return Adjusted EBITDA or return on invested capital, differently. As a result, investors should not consider Return Adjusted EBITDA in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, our results of operations as determined in accordance with IFRS.</p><p

The number of towers in our portfolio excludes towers for which we provide Managed Services. We have historically increased the number of towers in our portfolio through a combination of building New Sites, along with the acquisition of towers from MNOs and an independent tower company.

Colocation Rate is an important metric for assessing utilization and capacity on existing Towers. Our Colocation Rate is a key driver of our Adjusted EBITDA Margin, as the addition of further Tenants increases revenue for a proportionally smaller increase in power, our primary variable cost per site. Colocation is achieved at a relatively low incremental capital expense, and is also attractive to our customers as it provides them with shorter deployment times for their equipment compared to New Site alternatives.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Explanation of key line items in the historical consolidated statements of income</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><i style="font-style:italic;">Revenue</i></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Our revenue is derived from fees paid by our customers for services from our Colocation business and its ancillary managed services.

A portion of colocation arrangements for the provision of services, energy charges and use of shared fixed copper and fiber network infrastructure is within the scope of IFRS 15 &#8216;Revenue from contracts with customers&#8217; as a provision of service. Revenue from leasing arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the current lease term of the related lease agreements when collectability is reasonably assured. We also derive revenue from non-lease services, which includes maintenance, security and power supply for Towers owned by third parties. Non-lease revenue is recognized as the service is delivered at an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those services. Such revenue is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. We assess the probability that defaulting customers will not settle amounts billed and accordingly treat any component that we deem may not be collected as variable consideration, contingent upon the receipt of funds from the customer, an event that is not wholly within our control.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><i style="font-style:italic;">Cost of sales</i></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Cost of sales consists of power generation (including diesel costs), which after depreciation, is our largest single cost item, ground lease rental, tower repairs and maintenance, depreciation and amortization in relation to sites and right of use assets, staff costs and other costs directly related to the provision of services to customers and other site related costs, such as security services, regulatory permits and license costs, insurance, including for customer and network related assets. Depreciation of a tower is calculated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 10 to 20&#160;years. Depreciation of alarms, batteries and generators are also calculated using the straight-line method over a range of estimated useful lives between three and five&#160;years, depending on the equipment. Right of use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the remaining estimated useful life of the tower and the lease term.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><i style="font-style:italic;">Administrative expenses</i></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Administrative expenses are costs not directly related to provision of services to customers, but which support our business as a whole.

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022, included non-recurring revenue of $18.0 million that was recognized from reaching agreement on certain contractual terms with a Key Customer in Nigeria. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 included a non-recurring aggregate amount of $24.2 million. Aggregate inorganic revenue growth was $151.5 million, or 9.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2022, driven by the MTN South Africa Acquisition, GTS SP5 Acquisition, I-Systems Acquisition and fifth stage of the Kuwait Acquisition. The increase was partially offset by the non-core impact of negative movement in foreign exchange rates of $77.3 million, or 4.9%. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Refer to the revenue component of the segment results section of this operating and financial review for further details.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The net increase in Towers was 8,609 year on year, resulting in total Towers of 39,652 at December 31, 2022, and includes 2,115 towers from the GTS SP5 Acquisition, 5,691 Towers from the MTN SA Acquisition and 43 Towers from the fifth closing of the Kuwait Acquisition.

Year on year, we added 4,550 Lease Amendments, resulting in total Lease Amendments of 31,674 at December 31, 2022. The movement in Lease Amendments includes the reduction of 1,444 Lease Amendments during the third quarter of 2022 which are billed variably based on power consumption rather than a recurring use fee.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our net increase in Towers and Tenants for the year ended December 31, 2022 includes the impact of the start of a rationalization program agreed with a Key Customer, which resulted in the net rationalization of 369 Towers and a total of 401 Tenants.

December&#160;31, 2022 compared to the&#160;year ended December&#160;31, 2021 is primarily due to increased costs related to power generation, tower repair and maintenance, security service, aggregate depreciation and amortization, staff costs and short term site rental.

The increase in net finance costs was partially offset by a decrease in bond redemption costs of $18.2 million.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The net foreign exchange loss arising from financing was $364.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to a net foreign exchange loss of $169.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The year-on-year increase in net foreign exchange loss of $194.6 million was primarily due to changes in exchange rates, predominantly between the NGN, RWF, XAF, XOF, ZAR and ZMW which depreciated against the U.S. dollar and the BRL which appreciated against the U.S. dollar. Foreign exchange movements arise on commercial bank and intercompany loans denominated in U.S. dollars at the subsidiary level as a result of loan revaluations in local functional currency at period ends.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The year-on-year increase of $81.3 million in interest expense on third-party loans in the year ended December 31, 2022 is primarily related to bond interest on the IHS Holding Limited Notes which were issued in November 2021, an increase in interest on third-party loans in our Nigeria and Latam segments, the addition of a third-party loan related to the MTN SA Acquisition and the addition of the IHS Holding 2022 Term Loan.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The year-on-year aggregate increase of $21.8 million in finance charges for lease liabilities and unwinding of discount on decommissioning liabilities in the year ended December 31, 2022 resulted primarily from an increase in the number of Towers, from acquisitions and from New Sites, for which we have entered into ground leases and to which the decommissioning liabilities relate.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Other significant year-on-year movements in net finance costs in the year ended December 31, 2022 included an increase in loss related to the fair valuation on embedded options within the IHS Holding Notes and 2027 Notes of $160.5 million, which resulted primarily from decreases in the market value as a result of a rise in treasury rates, which decreased the value of the call options. The year-on-year decrease in gain of fair value on embedded derivatives in revenue contract of $7.2 million was due to no embedded derivatives in revenue contracts in the year ended December 31, 2022. The year-on-year increase in fees on loans and financial derivatives of $5.0 million primarily related to bridge financing fees and commitment fees in Group entities, offset by a decrease of $18.2 million in bond redemption costs due to early settlement of the 2025 Notes in the year ended December 31, 2021.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt 0pt

The year-on-year movement in our Nigeria segment primarily arose from the reduction in impairment of deferred tax assets. In our Latam segment, the movement of $93.2 million arose from a deferred tax benefit of $167.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, which primarily consisted of $75.6 million for the recognition of base cost related to GTS SP5 and $69.5 million related to the recognition of deferred tax assets which had previously been impaired, compared to a deferred tax benefit of $74.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, of which $70.8 million related to the recognition of tax base cost on acquisitions, principally CSS. </p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><i style="font-style:italic;">Loss for the Year</i></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Loss for the year ended December 31, 2022, was $470.4 million compared to a loss of $26.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $444.3 million for the year. The loss for the year reflected the impact of an increase in net finance costs mainly due to an increase in realized and unrealized foreign exchange losses on financing, an increase in interest expense and the fair value loss on embedded options within the bonds due to the rise in treasury rates since the end of 2021 and market sentiment driven by events such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The loss for the year was also due to an increase in cost of sales, including higher diesel costs and increased administrative expenses associated with being a public company and impairment of goodwill, offset by the increase in revenue and deferred tax benefit as discussed above.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><i

$205.7 million, or 17.9%, to $1,352.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $1,146.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Revenue increased organically by $266.4 million, or 23.2%, driven primarily by an increase in power indexation, escalations, $18.0 million of non-recurring revenue from reaching agreement on certain contractual terms with a Key Customer, as well as Lease Amendments, foreign exchange resets, New Sites, new Colocation and fiber. The year ended December 31, 2021 included $24.2 million of non-recurring items. The increase in organic revenue was partially offset by the impact of negative movements in the Naira to U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate of $60.7 million, or 5.3%. Year on year, within our Nigeria segment, Tenants increased by 589, including 564 from new sites, offset by 540 Churned, while Lease Amendments increased by 3,884. The total number of &#160;Lease Amendments at year end reflects the reduction of 1,444 Lease Amendments during the third quarter that are billed variably based on power consumption rather than a recurring use fee.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">102</p></div></div>

Revenue increased organically by $17.7 million, or 5.2%, driven by escalations, New Sites and new Colocation. Revenue for our SSA segment also grew inorganically in the period by $70.4 million, or 20.5%, mainly from the completion of the MTN SA Acquisition in the second quarter of 2022. Revenue in the period was partially offset by the year-on-year negative impact of movements in foreign exchange rates of $19.3 million, or 5.6%. Year on year, within our Sub-Saharan Africa segment, Tenants increased by 7,620 including 282 from new sites and 7,017 from the MTN SA acquisition in the second quarter of 2022, partially offset by 63 Churned, while Lease Amendments increased by 613.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><i style="font-style:italic;">Latam</i></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Revenue for our Latam segment increased by $100.3 million, or 168.0%, to $160.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $59.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The increase was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditure related to Project Green of $103.6 million and an increase in maintenance capital expenditure of $25.5 million, offset by decreases in fiber business capital expenditure of $12.2 million, augmentation capital expenditure of $12.2 million and new site capital expenditure of $6.2 million.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><i style="font-style:italic;">Sub-Saharan Africa</i></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Capital expenditure for our Sub-Saharan Africa segment was $97.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $42.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $55.4 million, or 131.0%.

We have historically funded acquisitions and other investments in our business, including large scale New Site construction and site improvements, from a combination of external equity raised from shareholders, long-term debt financings and internally generated cash from operations. External equity funding was raised at the IHS Holding Limited level, where it was held in U.S. dollars until required by operating subsidiaries or for acquisitions. As and when operating subsidiaries required these funds, the funding was allocated through intercompany loans to those subsidiaries. The proportion of intercompany loans to equity is unique to each operation and determined by commercial funding requirements, local taxation and corporate legislation.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:8pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-size:9pt;">As of December&#160;31, 2022, we had $1,014.1 million of total liquidity, which was equal to our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $514.1 million and availability under the IHS Holding RCF and the IHS Holding 2022 Term Loan (see &#8220;&#8212; Indebtedness&#8221; for more information) of $270.0 million and $230.0 million respectively</span>. <span style="font-size:9pt;">Our centralized treasury team supervises our cash management. Our cash and cash equivalents are generated within our operating subsidiaries and held either locally or upstreamed to IHS Holding Limited (or intermediaries thereof). As a holding company, our only source of cash to pay our obligations will be distributions with respect to our ownership interests in our subsidiaries or repayment of intercompany loans from (i)&#160;the net earnings and cash flow generated by these subsidiaries and (ii)&#160;any excess funds from the refinancing of operating company debt financings.</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We believe that our available liquidity and cash from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our operating expenses, debt service, capital expenditure requirements and organic growth strategies for the next 12&#160;months. However, our ability to satisfy our operating expenses, debt service, capital requirements and growth strategies will depend on our future performance, which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors, including those described in the &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; section of this Annual Report on Form 20-F. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operating activities in the future, we may have to obtain additional financing. If we obtain additional capital by issuing equity, the current interests of our existing shareholders will be diluted. If we incur additional indebtedness, that indebtedness may contain significant financial and other covenants that may significantly restrict our operations. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Additionally, we continuously review our funding and maturity profile. As part of this review, we regularly explore opportunities in the global bond markets to try and ensure that we are well positioned to avail ourselves of any refinancing opportunities, including for our 2027 Notes&#160;and our other facilities.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">105</p></div></div>

The statements are based on current UK tax law and on the current published practice of His Majesty&#8217;s Revenue and Customs, or HMRC (which may not be binding on HMRC), as of the date of this Annual Report, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retrospective effect. They are intended to address only certain UK tax consequences for holders of ordinary shares who are tax resident in (and only in) the United Kingdom, and in the case of individuals, domiciled in (and only in) the United Kingdom (except where expressly stated otherwise) who are the absolute beneficial owners of ordinary shares and any dividends paid on them and who hold ordinary shares as investments (other than in an individual savings account or a self-invested personal pension). They do not address the UK tax consequences which may be relevant to certain classes of holders of ordinary shares such as traders, brokers, dealers, banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, investment companies, collective investment schemes, tax-exempt organizations, trustees, persons connected with the Company or any member of the IHS Towers group for tax purposes, persons holding their ordinary shares as part of hedging or conversion transactions, holders of ordinary shares who have (or are deemed to have) acquired their ordinary shares by virtue of an office or employment, and holders of ordinary shares who are or have been officers or employees of the Company or a company forming part of the IHS Towers group for tax purposes.

An exemption from UK Stamp Duty is available on an instrument transferring ordinary shares where the amount or value of the consideration is &#163;1,000 or less and it is certified on the instrument that the transaction effected by the instrument does not form part of a larger transaction or series of transactions in respect of which the aggregate amount or value of the consideration exceeds &#163;1,000. Holders of ordinary shares should be aware that, even where an instrument of transfer is in principle subject to UK Stamp Duty, UK Stamp Duty is not required to be paid unless it is necessary to rely on the instrument for legal purposes, for example to register a change of ownership or in litigation in a UK court.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Provided that ordinary shares are not registered in any register maintained in the United Kingdom by or on behalf of us and are not paired with any shares issued by a UK incorporated company, any agreement to transfer ordinary shares will not be subject to SDRT.

This liability for SDRT will strictly be accountable by the clearance service or depositary receipt system, as the case may be, but will, in practice, generally be reimbursed by participants in the clearance service or depositary receipt system.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">138</p></div></div>

All of the foregoing authorities are subject to change, and any such change could apply retroactively and could affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences described below. The statements in this Annual Report are not binding on the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, or any court, and thus we can provide no assurance that the U.S. federal income tax consequences discussed below will not be challenged by the IRS or will be sustained by a court if challenged by the IRS.

A U.S. Holder that is a partner in such partnership should consult its tax advisor.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Dividends and Other Distributions on Ordinary Shares</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Subject to the passive foreign investment company considerations discussed below, the gross amount of distributions made by the Company with respect to ordinary shares (including the amount of any non-U.S. taxes withheld therefrom, if any) generally will be includible as dividend income in a U.S. Holder&#8217;s gross income in the&#160;year received, to the extent such distributions are paid out of the Company&#8217;s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Because the Company does not maintain calculations of its earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles and does not expect to do so in the future, a U.S. Holder should expect all cash distributions will be reported as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to U.S. corporations with respect to dividends received from other U.S. corporations. Dividends paid to a non-corporate U.S. Holder may be treated as &#8220;qualified dividend income&#8221; eligible for the lower capital gains tax rate with respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders. The dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction available to corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The amount of any distribution paid in foreign currency will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of such currency, translated at the spot rate of exchange on the date such distribution is received, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars at that time. Any gain or loss realized on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of such foreign currency will be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Dividends on the ordinary shares generally will constitute foreign source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Subject to certain complex conditions and limitations, any foreign taxes withheld on any distributions on the ordinary shares may be eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder&#8217;s federal income tax liability. For foreign tax credit purposes, dividends distributed by the Company with respect to ordinary shares will generally constitute &#8220;passive category income.&#8221;</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Ordinary Shares</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Subject to the passive foreign investment company considerations discussed below, upon a sale or other taxable disposition of ordinary shares, a U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder&#8217;s adjusted tax basis in such ordinary shares. Any such gain or loss generally will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder&#8217;s holding period in the ordinary shares exceeds one&#160;year.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on long-term capital gain at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations. Gain or loss, if any, realized by a U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of ordinary shares generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">The Company will be classified as a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, for any taxable&#160;year if either: (a)&#160;at least 75% of its gross income is &#8220;passive income&#8221; for purposes of the PFIC rules&#160;or (b)&#160;at least 50% of the value of its assets (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of </p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">140</p></div></div>

For this purpose, the Company will be treated as owning its proportionate share of the assets and earning its proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more (by value) of the stock.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Under the PFIC rules, if the Company were considered a PFIC at any time that a U.S. Holder holds the ordinary shares, the Company would continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such investment unless (i)&#160;the Company ceased to be a PFIC and (ii)&#160;the U.S. Holder made a &#8220;deemed sale&#8221; election under the PFIC rules.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Based on the composition of the income, assets and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, the Company does not believe that it currently is or has been a PFIC for the year ending December 31, 2022, and the Company does not expect to be a PFIC in the future. This is a factual determination, however, that can only be made annually after the close of each taxable&#160;year. In addition, the principles and methodology used in determining whether a company is a PFIC are subject to ambiguities and different interpretations. Therefore we cannot assure you that the Company will not be classified as a PFIC for the current taxable&#160;year. Furthermore, even if the Company is not a PFIC for the current&#160;year, the Company may become a PFIC in a future&#160;year depending on, for example, the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">If the Company is considered a PFIC at any time that a U.S. Holder holds ordinary shares, any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on a sale or other disposition of the ordinary shares, as well as the amount of any &#8220;excess distribution&#8221; (defined below) received by the U.S. Holder, would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder&#8217;s holding period for the ordinary shares. The amounts allocated to the taxable&#160;year of the sale or other disposition (or the taxable&#160;year of receipt, in the case of an excess distribution) and to any&#160;year before the Company became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable&#160;year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that taxable&#160;year, and an interest charge would be imposed. For the purposes of these rules, an excess distribution is the amount by which any distribution received by a U.S. Holder on ordinary shares exceeds 125% of the average of the annual distributions on the ordinary shares received during the preceding three&#160;years or the U.S. Holder&#8217;s holding period, whichever is shorter. In addition, if the Company is a PFIC and any of its subsidiaries is also a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may also be subject to the adverse tax consequences described above with respect to any gain or &#8220;excess distribution&#8221; realized or deemed realized in respect of such subsidiary PFIC. Certain elections may be available that would result in alternative treatments (such as mark-to-market treatment) of the ordinary shares if the Company is considered a PFIC.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">If the Company is considered a PFIC, a U.S. Holder will also be subject to annual information reporting requirements. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors about the potential application of the PFIC rules&#160;to the ordinary shares.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Information Reporting and Backup Withholding</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Dividend payments with respect to ordinary shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of ordinary shares may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and U.S. backup withholding. A U.S. Holder may be eligible for an exemption from backup withholding if the U.S. Holder furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification or is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status may be required to provide such certification on IRS Form&#160;W-9. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a U.S. Holder&#8217;s U.S. federal income tax liability, and such U.S. Holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules&#160;by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Additional Information Reporting Requirements</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals (and certain entities) that hold an interest in &#8220;specified foreign financial assets&#8221; (which may include the ordinary shares) are required to report information relating to such assets, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for ordinary shares held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions). Penalties can apply if U.S. Holders fail to satisfy such reporting requirements. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of these requirements to their acquisition and ownership of ordinary shares.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">THE DISCUSSION ABOVE IS A GENERAL SUMMARY. IT DOES NOT COVER ALL TAX MATTERS THAT MAY&#160;BE IMPORTANT TO YOU. EACH HOLDER OF ORDINARY SHARES SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR ABOUT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF OWNING ORDINARY SHARES UNDER THE HOLDER&#8217;S OWN CIRCUMSTANCES.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-99.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603113472;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:24pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">141</p></div></div>

We also have audited the Company&#39;s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in <i style="font-style:italic;">Internal Control - Integrated Framework</i> (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:12pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in <i style="font-style:italic;">Internal Control - Integrated Framework</i> (2013) issued by the COSO because material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existed as of that date related to (i) a lack of key accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge and experience to account for complex transactions, (ii) a lack of an adequate process and procedures related to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment and the commencement of depreciation, and (iii) a failure to maintain appropriate evidence related to judgements&#160; related to the recognition and settlement of revenues and receivables.&#160;</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:12pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses referred to above are described in Management&#8217;s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 15. We considered these material weaknesses in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2022 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements.&#160;&#160;</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:12pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Basis for Opinions</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:12pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The Company&#39;s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in management&#39;s report referred to above. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial statements and on the Company&#39;s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.&#160;&#160;</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:12pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.&#160;</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:12pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.</p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-63.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603117568;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:center;margin:12pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">F-2</p></div></div>

The MTN SA Acquisition has total assets and total revenues excluded from management&#8217;s assessment and our audit of internal control over financial reporting representing 7% and 4%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:12pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:12pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">A company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company&#8217;s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:12pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:12pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Critical Audit Matters&#160;&#160;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt;">The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the Audit Committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $2.0 billion and accrued revenue as of December 31, 2022 amounted to $86.2 million.&#160; Initial recognition of revenue is estimated based on an assessment of the recoverability of revenue taking into account the Company&#8217;s contractual rights to consideration, its exposure to each customer&#8217;s credit risk and management&#8217;s practice of managing credit risk exposure through the occasional negotiation of price concessions with customers.&#160; Only amounts expected to be recovered at the point of initial recognition are recognized in revenue, and the remainder is considered variable consideration contingent upon the receipt of funds from the customer.&#160; The assessment of amounts expected to be recovered is closely aligned with the assumed credit risk of the customer, determined as part of the assessment of expected credit losses made in accordance with the Company&#8217;s IFRS 9 expected credit loss policy. Under this policy, management assesses the credit risk of the customer to evaluate the customer&#8217;s capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations. Management also estimates revenue for services provided where billing is not yet completed, including in respect of 1) tower sites coming into service, or changes in customer implemented technologies since the most recent invoicing cycle, and 2) services subject to ongoing negotiation regarding price or other contract interpretation disputes with customers, based primarily on historical experience.&#160; Management recognises revenue upon the satisfaction of performance obligations on the basis of the expected outcome of such disputed matters.&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:11pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt;">The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition - estimates of amounts recoverable and unbilled is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment and estimation required by management in determining (i) the recoverability of revenue and the related estimate of variable consideration and (ii) the expected outcome of negotiations with customers regarding unbilled and disputed matters.

The Company recorded an impairment loss of $121.6 million in 2022 in the IHS Latam towers businesses group of CGUs.&#160; To undertake the goodwill impairment review, the carrying value of the cash generating unit (CGU) or group of CGUs containing goodwill is compared to the estimated recoverable amount, which is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal.&#160; An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount.&#160; The recoverable amount of each CGU, or group of CGUs, except for the IHS Latam tower businesses group of CGUs and the I-Systems CGU was determined based on their value in use.&#160; The recoverable amount of the IHS Latam tower businesses group of CGUs and the I-Systems CGU was determined based on fair value less costs of disposal. The key assumptions to which these recoverable amount calculations are most sensitive are revenue growth (taking into account tenancy rates and, for the I-Systems CGU, homes connected), gross margins, terminal growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and costs of disposal.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:11pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt;">The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to goodwill impairment is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment and estimation required by management in developing the estimated recoverable amount; (ii) the high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and in evaluating management&#8217;s valuation methods, calculations and significant assumptions related to revenue growth, gross margins, terminal growth rates, weighted average cost of capital, and costs of disposal; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialised skill and knowledge. As described in the &#8220;Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting&#8221; section, a material weakness was identified in relation to this matter.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:11pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt;">Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included, among others: (i) assessing management&#8217;s process for developing the estimated recoverable amounts; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the value in use and fair value less costs of disposal models; (iii) testing the completeness, accuracy and relevance of underlying data used in the estimate; and (iv) evaluating significant assumptions used by management related to revenue growth, gross margins, terminal growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and costs of disposal. Evaluating significant assumptions used by management involved determining whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering: (i) the current and past performance of the relevant CGUs; (ii) the consistency with external market data; and (iii) whether those assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialised skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the weighted average cost of capital, terminal growth rate and costs of disposal assumptions within management&#8217;s models.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="font-size:9pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="font-size:9pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="font-size:9pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:11pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="font-size:9pt;">/s/</span><ix:nonNumeric contextRef="Duration_1_1_2022_To_12_31_2022_o7PIMa4NcUWQAZ0MagqWsw" name="dei:AuditorName" id="Narr_F3IE6nCgaEWzIZNeqYlRNA"><span style="font-size:9pt;">PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP</span></ix:nonNumeric></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><ix:nonNumeric contextRef="Duration_1_1_2022_To_12_31_2022_o7PIMa4NcUWQAZ0MagqWsw" name="dei:AuditorLocation" id="Narr_wG4mIMDQcUek0xkqZYd8ZA"><span style="font-size:9pt;">London, United Kingdom</span></ix:nonNumeric></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt;">March 28, 2023</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:11pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt;">We have served as the Company&#8217;s auditor since 2017.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="display:none;font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';line-height:0pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="font-size:0pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-63.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603117568;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:center;margin:12pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">F-4</p></div></div>

The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group.

Any excess of the purchase price paid by the Group over the amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill and any acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest&#8217;s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree&#8217;s identifiable net assets.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The consideration transferred for the acquisition comprises the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred, equity interests issued by the Group and any contingent consideration. Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity&#8217;s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">If the Group gains control in a business combination in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer&#8217;s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Where the group acquires a portfolio of tower assets and associated revenue contracts judgement is required in the determining whether the transaction meets the definition of a business combination. &#160;The Group makes this judgement on a case by case basis taking into account the specific facts and circumstances of each transaction including the substance of other elements of the transactions such as transferred systems, processes, workforce and novated supplier contracts.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The Group has considered whether any of its business combinations represent a sale and leaseback transaction from a lessor perspective.

Right of use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right of use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date (which do not form part of the lease liability value at the commencement date). Right of use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful life and the lease term.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The right-of-use assets are tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 &#8220;Impairment of Assets&#8221;.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="display:inline-block;text-indent:0pt;width:36pt;"><b style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">(b)</b></span>Lease liabilities</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of all remaining lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments where the contracts specify fixed or minimum uplifts) and variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as an expense in the period in which the <span style="color:#0d0d0d;">event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.</span></p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Due to the nature of our leased assets the interest rate implicit in the lease is usually not readily determinable, the Group therefore uses the incremental borrowing rate in calculating the present value of lease payments at the lease commencement date. The incremental borrowing rate is calculated using a series of inputs, including: a local currency cost of debt for each country based on local borrowing (or where not available, an inflation adjusted US$ cost of debt which encompasses the country specific adjustment), an adjustment for the duration of the referenced borrowings to arrive at an interest rate for a one-year facility, and an adjustment for the lease term based on local government, US or Eurozone bond yields, as appropriate in the context of each country&#8217;s debt markets.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term or a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised and any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain that the termination options will not be exercised.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The Group has the option under some of its leases to lease the assets for additional periods of up to <ix:nonNumeric contextRef="Duration_1_1_2022_To_12_31_2022_o7PIMa4NcUWQAZ0MagqWsw" format="ixt-sec:durwordsen" name="ihs:LeaseAdditionalPeriods" id="Narr_34DuuTMNIUKzogH7GX1OHw">10 years</ix:nonNumeric>. The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it has a unilateral option to renew the lease for a further period and is reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew (note 3). That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise (or not to exercise) the option to renew.</p></ix:continuation><ix:nonNumeric contextRef="Duration_1_1_2022_To_12_31_2022_o7PIMa4NcUWQAZ0MagqWsw" name="ihs:DescriptionOfAccountingPolicyForCostOfSalesPolicyTextBlock" id="Tb_y5kdIdrwUUOEF0wFgIpwTA" continuedAt="Tb_y5kdIdrwUUOEF0wFgIpwTA_cont1" escape="true"><p style="color:#008732;font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="display:inline-block;text-indent:0pt;width:36pt;"><b style="color:#008732;font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">2.8</b></span>Cost of sales</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Cost of sales is mainly comprised of power generation costs, depreciation, tower repairs and maintenance costs, operational staff and costs and site rental costs.</p></ix:nonNumeric></ix:continuation></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-63.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603117568;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:center;margin:12pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">F-15</p></div></div>

If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured at fair value is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in profit or loss.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units (&#8220;CGUs&#8221;), or groups of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at or below the operating segment level. Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of the CGU containing the goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs of disposal.

In other instances, where the net realizable value of an inventory item is not readily determinable, management assesses the age and the risk of obsolescence of such items in determining net realizable value of such items using an appropriate age/obsolescence factor model.</p></ix:nonNumeric><ix:nonNumeric contextRef="Duration_1_1_2022_To_12_31_2022_o7PIMa4NcUWQAZ0MagqWsw" name="ifrs-full:DescriptionOfAccountingPolicyForFinancialAssetsExplanatory" id="Tb_-iCsYrjxtEGZhtbZQVA2Kg" continuedAt="Tb_-iCsYrjxtEGZhtbZQVA2Kg_cont1" escape="true"><p style="color:#008732;font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="display:inline-block;text-indent:0pt;width:36pt;"><b style="color:#008732;font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">2.16</b></span>Financial assets</p><p style="color:#008732;font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="display:inline-block;text-indent:0pt;width:36pt;"><b style="color:#008732;font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">2.16.1</b></span>Classification</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:</p><table style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:12pt;margin-top:0pt;table-layout:fixed;text-align:justify;width:100%;border:0pt;"><tr><td style="width:18pt;"></td><td style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;vertical-align:text-top;white-space:nowrap;width:18pt;padding:0pt;">&#9679;</td><td style="padding:0pt;"><span style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income (OCI) or through profit or loss), and</span></td></tr></table><table style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;table-layout:fixed;text-align:justify;width:100%;border:0pt;"><tr><td style="width:18pt;"></td><td style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;vertical-align:text-top;white-space:nowrap;width:18pt;padding:0pt;">&#9679;</td><td style="padding:0pt;"><span style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">those to be measured at amortized cost.</span></td></tr></table><div style="margin-top:12pt;"></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The classification depends on the entity&#8217;s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

Equity settled share-based payment obligations granted to employees are measured at their fair value (at the date of grant or the date of amendment in the case of modification of terms) and the fair value is recognized as an expense in profit or loss, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions (for example, profitability, sales growth targets are expected to be met), such that the amount ultimately recognized is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date (note 3).</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In the event of a modification of the terms of the share-based instruments, if the fair value of the new amended instruments is greater than the fair value of the original instruments as at the modification date, then for options vested at the modification date, the incremental fair value is recognized in profit or loss immediately and for unvested options, the incremental amount is recognized in profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In prior periods, and up to the 10 July&#160;2019, the share-based compensation plans operated by the Group were classified and accounted for as cash-settled instruments.

Cash settled share-based payment liabilities were remeasured at the end of each reporting period up to the date of settlement, with any changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. At the end of each reporting period and up to 10 July&#160;2019, the Group revised its estimates of the number of options that were expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions and service conditions and recognized the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to liability.

On April&#160;24, 2017, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) introduced a special foreign exchange window for investors and exporters, known as the NAFEX market.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">By introducing the NAFEX window, the CBN created a situation where there are multiple differing official rates in the market. This resulted in a need for the Group to reach a judgement regarding the appropriate exchange rates for translating foreign denominated transactions and balances for Nigerian subsidiaries and for the translation of Nigerian results on consolidation. The Group considered the requirements of IAS 21 &#8216;The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates&#8217; and performed an assessment of the availability of the NAFEX rate in that market. The Group concluded that access to US Dollar in Nigeria in the future to meet payments or dividends is expected to be obtained via the NAFEX market, which has since May 2021 been adopted by the CBN.</p></ix:continuation></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-63.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603117568;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:center;margin:12pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">F-24</p></div></div>

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset&#8217;s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. Refer to note&#160;15 for Goodwill and intangible assets impairment considerations.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The assessment for impairment entails comparing the carrying value of the cash generating unit, or group of cash generating units, with its recoverable amount, that is, the higher of the value in use and the fair value less costs of disposal. Value in use is determined on the basis of discounted estimated future net cash flows.&#160;Fair value less costs of disposal is determined on the basis of the income approach, discounting estimated future net cash flows that reflects current market expectations. Determination as to whether and how much an asset is impaired involves management estimates on highly uncertain matters such as future revenue (taking into account tenancy rates for tower businesses and homes passed and homes connected for the fiber business), and the direct effect these have on gross profit margins in the initial five-year forecast period, discount rates, terminal growth rates and cost related to the disposal of a business.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In determining value in use the Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The assumptions adopted in the computation of the value in use are considered reasonable to the circumstance of each CGU. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Such estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Refer to the sensitivity analysis in note 15.</p></ix:continuation></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;position:absolute;top:-63.35pt;width:23.04pt;z-index:-9223372036603117568;"><div style="height:864pt;left:0pt;padding-bottom:0pt;position:relative;width:23.04pt;"><img src="tmb-20221231x20f001.jpg" alt="Graphic" style="height:864pt;width:23.04pt;" /></div></div><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:center;margin:12pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">F-25</p></div></div>

A material change in the value of any such foreign currency could result in a material adverse effect on the Group&#8217;s cash flow and future profits. The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk to the extent that balances and transactions are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency in which they are measured.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">In managing foreign exchange risk, the Group aims to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations on earnings.

The Group&#8217;s significant exposure to currency risk relates to its loan facilities that are mainly in foreign currencies. The Group manages foreign exchange risk through the use of derivative financial instruments such as currency swaps and forward contracts. The Group monitors the movement in the currency rates on an ongoing basis.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Currency exposure arising from assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is managed primarily by setting limits on the&#160;percentage of net assets that may be invested in such deposits.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Sensitivity analysis</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The table below shows the impact on the Group&#8217;s loss if the exchange rate between the following currencies to US Dollars had increased or decreased, with all other variables held constant. The rate of change was determined by an assessment of a reasonable or probable change in the exchange rate being applied as at December&#160;31.

A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm&#8217;s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level&#160;1. Instruments included in level&#160;1 comprise investment in marketable securities and classified as fair value through other comprehensive income financial assets.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Financial instruments in level 2</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level&#160;2. Instruments included in level&#160;2 comprise primarily of Non deliverable forwards (NDF), foreign exchange swaps and options embedded in the bonds. Their fair values are determined based on mark to market values provided by the counterparty financial institutions or valuation techniques using observable market data.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Financial instruments in level 3</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques.

arising from financing&#160;- unrealized in 2022 is primarily due to significant fluctuations in exchange rates predominantly between the Kwacha and the US Dollar, the Naira and the US Dollar rate and the Brazilian Real and the US Dollar (2021: predominantly from the Kwacha and US Dollar, the Naira and the US Dollar rate and the Brazilian Real and the US Dollar rate. 2020: predominantly from the

and remove assets from tower sites. The amount recognized initially is the present value of the estimated amount that will be required to decommission and restore the leased sites to their original states, discounted using rates applicable to each of the individual operations within the Group. The amount provided for each site has been discounted based on the respective lease terms attached to each site.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The provisions have been created based on management&#8217;s decommissioning experience of the specific situations. Assumptions have been made based on the current economic environment, current construction requirements, technology, price levels and expected plans for remediation. Management believes that these assumptions are a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability. These estimates are reviewed regularly to take into account any material changes to the assumptions. These remeasurements result in adjustments to the value of the related assets within property plant and equipment. Actual decommissioning or restoration costs will however, ultimately depend upon future market prices for the necessary decommissioning works required that will reflect market conditions at the relevant time. Furthermore, the timing of decommissioning is likely to depend on when the lease term is terminated without renewal. This, in turn, will depend upon technological changes in the local and international telecommunication industries which are inherently uncertain.</p><p style="font-family:'Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">The discount rates applied have been in line with the weighted average borrowing rate for the respective operating entities in the periods the assets were constructed/acquired. Below is the discount rate applied by each operating entity:</p><ix:nonNumeric contextRef="Duration_1_1_2022_To_12_31_2022_o7PIMa4NcUWQAZ0MagqWsw"

ABOUT THIS ANNUAL REPORT
Except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated in this Annual Report, the terms "IHS Towers," the "Company," "the Group," "we," "us," "our," "our company" and "our business" refer to IHS Holding Limited, together with its consolidated subsidiaries as a consolidated entity.
MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA
We obtained the industry, market and competitive position data and forecasts in this Annual Report from our own internal estimates and research as well as from publicly available information, industry and general publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties, including Euromonitor International Limited. Certain industry, market and competitive position data and information referred to in this Annual Report is based on third-party data provided by Analysys Mason Limited, or Analysys Mason, delivered in August 2022 for use in this Annual Report. This information involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates, as there is no assurance that any of them will be reached. Our and Analysys Mason's data is derived from publicly available information released by independent industry analysts and other third-party sources, as well as data from our and Analysys Mason's internal research, and are based on assumptions made by us upon reviewing such data, and our experience in, and knowledge of, such industry and markets, which we believe to be reasonable. Analysys Mason's third party data is also prepared on the basis of information provided and views expressed by mobile operators, tower operators and other parties (including certain views expressed and information provided or published by individual operators, service providers, regulatory bodies, industry analysts and other third party sources of data). Although Analysys Mason has obtained such information from sources it believes to be reliable, neither we nor Analysys Mason have verified such information. You are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates and assumptions.
In many cases, there is no readily available external information (whether from trade associations, government bodies or other organizations) to validate market related analyses and estimates, requiring us to rely on our own internally developed estimates regarding the industry in which we operate, our position in the industry, our market share and the market shares of various industry participants based on our experience, our own investigation of market conditions and our review of industry publications, including information made available to the public by our competitors. While we believe our internal estimates to be reasonable, these estimates have not been verified by any independent sources and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates.
Industry publications, research, surveys and studies generally state that the information they contain has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. Forecasts and other forward-looking information obtained from these sources and from our and Analysys Mason's estimates are subject to the same qualifications and uncertainties as the other forward-looking statements in this Annual Report and as described under "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." These forecasts and other forward-looking information, are subject to uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described under Item 3.D. "Risk Factors." These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forecasts or estimates from independent third parties and us.
In addition, our and Analysys Mason's estimates involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors. See Item 3.D. "Risk Factors" and Item 4.B. "Information on the Company—Business Overview" for further discussion.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
We report under International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or the IASB.
Use of Non-IFRS financial measures
Certain parts of this Annual Report contain non-IFRS financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. The non-IFRS financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS, and may be different from similarly titled non-IFRS measures used by other companies.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as profit/(loss) for the period, before income tax expense/(benefit), finance costs and income, depreciation and amortization, impairment of withholding tax receivables, business combination transaction costs, impairment of property, plant and equipment and related prepaid land rent on the decommissioning of sites, reversal of provision for decommissioning costs, net (profit)/loss on sale of assets, share-based payment (credit)/expense, insurance claims, listing costs and certain other items that management believes are not indicative of the core performance of our business. The most directly comparable IFRS measure to Adjusted EBITDA is our profit/(loss) for the period.
We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue for the applicable period, expressed as a percentage.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an indicator of the operating performance of our core business. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, as defined above, are useful to investors and are used by our management for measuring profitability and allocating resources, because they exclude the impact of certain items which have less bearing on our core operating performance. We believe that utilizing Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin allows for a more meaningful comparison of operating fundamentals between companies within our industry by eliminating the impact of capital structure and taxation differences between the companies.
Adjusted EBITDA measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies comparable to us, many of which present an Adjusted EBITDA-related performance measure when reporting their results.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are used by different companies for differing purposes and are often calculated in ways that reflect the circumstances of those companies. You should exercise caution in comparing Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as reported by us to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are unaudited and have not been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measures of performance under IFRS and you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA Margin as an alternative to profit/(loss) for the period or other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation. Some of these limitations are:
●
they do not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our indebtedness;
●
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often need to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect any cash requirements that would be required for such replacements;
●
some of the items we eliminate in calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin reflect cash payments that have less bearing on our core operating performance, but that impact our operating results for the applicable period; and
2
Table of Contents
●
the fact that other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin differently than we do, which limits their usefulness as comparative measures.
Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA Margin.

You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price and value of our ordinary shares could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. This Annual Report also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks faced by us described below and elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Risks Relating to Our Business
A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a small number of MNOs. Non-performance under or termination, non-renewal or material modification of customer lease agreements with these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
A significant portion of our revenue in each of our markets of operation is derived from a small number of customers, who usually constitute some of the largest MNOs in those markets. In particular, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, revenue from our top three MNO customers, considered in each of our individual markets of operation, collectively accounted for 97% and 98%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue, with MTN Nigeria and Airtel Nigeria accounting for 50% and 14% respectively, of our consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022. Should there be any negative impact on the businesses of our major customers, including these key MNOs, it could adversely affect their demand for tower space and/or ability to perform their obligations under their lease agreements with us.
Due to the long-term nature of our MLAs (usually 5 to 15 years with subsequent renewal provisions), we are also dependent on the continued financial strength of our customers. Some customers may operate with substantial leverage and/or rely on capital-raising to fund their operations and such customers may not have sufficient credit support or the ability to raise capital. If, for example, our customers or potential customers are unable to raise adequate capital to fund their business plans as a result of health pandemics or epidemics, including COVID-19 and future coronavirus or other outbreaks or events with a wide-ranging regional or global impact, or do not have adequate parental support, they may reduce their capital spending, which could materially and adversely affect demand for space on our Tower sites or other infrastructure, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and/or results of operations.
Furthermore, some of our customers have or may become subject to regulatory or other action, which may result in unanticipated levies or fines. For example, in 2018, the CBN alleged improper repatriation by MTN Nigeria Communications PLC, or MTN Nigeria, of $8.1 billion between 2007 and 2015. The CBN, upon review of additional documentation, concluded
9
Table of Contents
that MTN Nigeria was no longer required to reverse the historical dividend payments made to MTN Nigeria shareholders. The CBN instructed MTN Nigeria to implement a notional reversal of the 2008 private placement of shares in MTN Nigeria at a net cost of circa ₦19.2 billion—equivalent to $52.6 million (the notional reversal amount). This is on the basis that certain certificates of capital importation, or CCIs, utilized in the private placement were not properly issued. MTN Nigeria and the CBN agreed that they would resolve the matter on the basis that MTN Nigeria would pay the notional reversal amount without admission of liability, and that the CBN would regularize all the CCIs issued on the investment by shareholders of MTN Nigeria, thereby bringing to a final resolution all incidental disputes arising from this matter.
In addition, MTN Nigeria was, until January 2020, involved in a $2 billion dispute with Nigeria's Attorney General regarding a demand for allegedly unpaid tax. In January 2020, the Attorney General withdrew its claims against MTN Nigeria and instead referred the matter to the Nigeria Federal Inland Revenue Service and the Nigeria Customs Service. Any fines levied against our customers, their inability to fund their operations or other financial difficulties experienced by our customers could negatively affect their demand for tower space or their ability to perform their obligations under their lease agreements with us, and in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
In addition, in 2017 Emerging Markets Telecommunication Services Limited, or 9mobile, previously known as Etisalat Nigeria, one of our Key Customers in Nigeria, experienced certain payment issues with lenders, which ultimately resulted in the lenders enforcing their security rights pursuant to the credit agreement over the shares previously held by Etisalat Group (Emirates Telecommunications Group Company PJSC). 9mobile was reportedly sold in a distressed M&A process in November 2018, however, it has since been publicly reported that the international element of the consortium pulled out of the acquisition in early 2019 and the current ownership status remains unclear. 9mobile continues to trade in Nigeria and had a 5.8% market share as of December 31, 2022, down from 9.2% in 2018. While we continue to engage with 9mobile as a regular customer and currently continue to receive payments from 9mobile, 9mobile has failed to make full monthly payments to us in the past and any continued or future failure to make payments (including pursuant to any new arrangements entered into to try and resolve the situation) may result in us not receiving payment of amounts owed to us and further potential renegotiation of contract terms. See "— We may experience volatility in terms of timing for settlement of invoices or may be unable to collect amounts due under invoices." These circumstances may, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, 9mobile accounted for 4% and 6% of our revenue generated, respectively.
In addition, if any of our customers are unwilling or unable to perform their obligations under the relevant tower lease or other customer agreements, including as a result of current and future health pandemics, epidemics, or other outbreaks or events with a wide-ranging regional or global impact, or related events (such as regulatory interventions on pricing to make MNO services more accessible during periods of lockdown or restricted movement or operations), our revenue, financial condition and/or results of operations could be adversely affected. In the ordinary course of our business, we do occasionally experience disputes with our customers, generally regarding the interpretation of terms in our lease agreements. From time to time, we also undertake routine revenue assurance exercises to determine that all customer equipment on site and services being provided to the customers are being accurately invoiced according to our contracts, and occasionally, we locate equipment that we have not previously invoiced to customers that we believe we are contractually able to invoice. Historically, we have sought to resolve these disputes in an amicable manner, and such disputes have not had a material adverse effect on our customer relationships or our business. However, it is possible that such disputes could lead to a termination of our lease agreements with customers, a material modification of the terms of those lease agreements or a failure to obtain new business from existing customers, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. Furthermore, if we are forced to resolve any of these disputes through litigation or arbitration, our relationship with the applicable customer could be terminated or damaged, which could lead to decreased revenue or increased costs, which may in turn result in a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Our customers may fail to meet their payment obligations on a timely basis or at all. Such failures to pay, payment delays or other non-performance may be due to a customer's insolvency or bankruptcy, a downturn in the economic cycle or factors specific to the relevant customer. For instance, in March 2023, Oi Brazil filed for a new judicial reorganization proceeding, listing our contract related to the GTS SP5 Acquisition among Oi Brazil's debts. It is currently unclear how any such reorganization proceeding will impact Oi Brazil as a customer. The failure of our customers to meet their payment obligations and/or our inability to find new customers in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and/or results of operations.
No assurance can be given that our customers will renew their customer lease agreements upon expiration of those agreements or that customers will not request unfavorable amendments to existing agreements.
While a number of the MLAs with our customers are deemed automatically renewed if not cancelled by the stated expiration date, we regularly
10
Table of Contents
keep upcoming renewal or expiry dates under review, and engage in discussions with customers from time-to-time regarding such matters. For instance, an MLA with a customer in Cote d'Ivoire is up for renewal in the first half of 2023 with renewal discussions ongoing, MLAs with certain customers in Zambia and Rwanda are up for renewal in 2024 and MLAs with certain customers in Nigeria and Zambia are up for renewal in 2025.
No assurance can be given that we will be successful in renewing or negotiating favorable terms with these customers, or that we will not be required to enter into interim continuation provisions with these customers if we are unable to agree to renewal agreements prior to the expiry of our current agreements. Any failure to obtain renewals of existing customer lease agreements or failure to successfully negotiate favorable terms for such renewals of or amendments to existing agreements (if sought) could result in a reduction in revenue and, accordingly, have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
We may experience volatility in terms of timing for settlement of invoices or may be unable to collect amounts due under invoices.
Our contractual invoicing cycle is typically monthly in arrears or monthly or quarterly in advance, with the contractual payment cycle on average 30 to 60 days post invoice. As of December 31, 2022, we had gross receivables more than 90 days overdue of $42.3 million and held an impairment provision allowance of $25.4 million. While we may continue to pursue our contractual rights in collecting outstanding amounts, should the relevant counterparties be unable to meet their obligations to pay us any such sums in a timely manner, including as a result of current or future health pandemics, epidemics, or other outbreaks or events with a wide-ranging regional or global impact, or related consequences, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations, including planned working capital requirements. In addition, if our customers experience financial difficulties, as a result of regulatory actions, the COVID-19 pandemic or related effects, prolonged economic downturn, inability to raise funds or capital, or for any other reason, we may be unable to collect amounts due under invoices from those customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Our current and future markets involve additional risks compared to more developed markets, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
We and our customers operate in various international markets, particularly in emerging markets such as in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. As a result, we may, directly or indirectly, be exposed to economic, political and other uncertainties, including risks of:

Any of these or other risks could adversely impact our customers' and/or our operations, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations, as well as our growth opportunities. In particular, a significant portion of our revenue is currently derived from our Nigerian operations (69% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022) , and any such risks materializing within Nigeria in particular may have a significant impact on our business as a whole, including our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Operations in international markets, including emerging and less developed markets (including Africa, the Middle East and Latin America), also subject us to numerous additional and different laws and regulations affecting our business, such as those related to labor, employment, unions, health and safety, antitrust and competition, environmental protection, consumer protection, import/export and anti-bribery, corruption and money laundering. Our employees, subcontractors and agents could take actions that violate any of these requirements. Violations, or alleged violations, of any such laws or regulations could subject us to criminal or civil enforcement actions and adversely affect our reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Our expansion into new geographic markets, such as Latin America, South Africa, Kuwait, Egypt, and other markets we may enter in the future, may present competitive, distribution, regulatory and other challenges that differ from the challenges we face in markets that we have historically operated in. In addition, we may be less familiar with the customers, competitive dynamics (including antitrust concepts or regimes that may be based on our ultimate group shareholding and that may limit our ability to make future investments, due to, for example, our ultimate shareholders also investing in other ancillary businesses in the same market, which regulatory authorities in some markets may view as impacting their antitrust considerations) and regulatory environment in these markets and may ultimately face different or additional risks, as well as increased or unexpected costs, compared to those we experience in our existing markets. Expansion into new geographic markets may also expose us to direct competition with companies with whom we have limited or no past experience as competitors. To the extent we rely upon expanding into new geographic markets and do not meet, or are unprepared for, any new challenges posed by such expansion, our future sales growth could be negatively impacted, our operating costs could increase, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. See "Risks Relating to the Markets in which We Operate."
We and our customers face foreign exchange risks, which may be material.
For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, 51% and 63%, respectively, of our revenue was linked to the U.S. dollar or in euro-pegged currencies. The manner in which this revenue is linked to the U.S. dollar or the euro differs across our MLAs and jurisdictions of operation.
Our U.S. dollar-linked revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars in the relevant MLAs, but paid to us in local currency through contractual mechanisms. In such cases, including the majority of our MLAs in Nigeria, our MLAs may contain a formula for periodically determining the U.S. dollar to local currency exchange rate. Such MLAs typically have U.S. dollar-denominated components and local currency components of pricing, and the U.S. dollar components are converted to the local currency for settlement at a fixed conversion rate for a stated period of time, which conversion rates are reset quarterly, semi-annually or annually. As a result, in the event of devaluation, such as the ones that occurred in June 2016 and March 2020 in Nigeria, there is a risk of a delay between the timing of the devaluation and the next contractual reset, which may be significant. During the period between the date of the devaluation and the date of the reset, all of our revenue (i.e., both revenue that is contractually linked to the U.S. dollar and that is contractually linked to local currency) would reflect the new, devalued foreign exchange rate. When the reset is effected, the amount relating to the portion of the lease fees linked to the U.S. dollar, which is invoiced in local currency, is adjusted upward, including in the cases of the June 2016 and March 2020 devaluations in Nigeria. Furthermore, our ability to maintain or enter into such contractually linked foreign exchange protection mechanisms with our current and new customers in the future is not assured, which may in turn reduce our protection against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and therefore could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
In addition, the conversion rates included in our MLAs may also be different than the rates at which our financial results are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. If we are required to use a higher rate for accounting purposes than that of our contracts, notwithstanding any underlying performance, it is likely that our financial results for the relevant periods in the future will show a related decline in performance. For example, as described below under "— The existence of multiple foreign exchange markets with different exchange rates may impact the rate at which our operating subsidiaries' financial results are translated into U.S. dollars for group reporting purposes, which may impact our financial condition and/or results
13
Table of Contents
of operations," in April 2017 the CBN introduced a new foreign exchange window for investors and exporters, and while the majority of our contracts in Nigeria contain contractually linked foreign exchange protection mechanisms that protect against foreign exchange fluctuations, such contracts historically only protected against changes in the official CBN exchange rate. While we reached  agreement with our Key Customers in Nigeria to update the reference exchange rate in our contracts to the prevailing market rate available on Bloomberg (which has typically been aligned to the NAFEX rate), should these and similar circumstances arise again or continue to exist (where there is a divergence between the applicable market rate or translation rates for our financial results, and the exchange rate reflected in our contracts with customers), there is no guarantee that we will be able to renegotiate these contracts or enter into new contracts to fully protect against such foreign exchange risks, which could materially impact our results of operations. In addition, some of our contracts, particularly in Latin America, South Africa, and Kuwait, are based on local currency pricing with no direct foreign exchange link or conversion mechanism, and therefore any depreciation in local currency rates against the U.S. dollar would similarly impact our financial results when they are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes, notwithstanding any underlying performance.
Certain of our other MLAs have revenue components linked to hard currencies, such as the U.S. dollar or the euro, because the MLAs are in local currencies that maintain a fixed exchange rate, or are "pegged," to such currencies, such as those in Côte d'Ivoire and Cameroon. In addition, it was announced in 2019 that the CFA Franc used in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA), which includes Côte d'Ivoire, and which has a fixed exchange rate to the euro, would be replaced by a new currency called the Eco, and in June 2021, the heads of state of fifteen West African countries, including Côte d'Ivoire, comprising the Economic Community of West African States adopted a roadmap for the launch of the Eco in 2027. If such fixed or linked exchange rates are not maintained or are "de-pegged," it could result in fluctuations and/or devaluations of these currencies, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
In addition, even though our MLAs may have foreign currency-linked revenue components, or have use fees expressed in foreign currencies, the actual currency of settlement of a significant portion of our revenue is in local currencies, and we therefore remain exposed to foreign exchange risks. There may also be regulatory actions or pressure based on, among other things, socioeconomic or political reasons or events, to enforce local currency-based pricing, which would dilute any protection we may seek to include in our contracts to protect against local currency devaluations.
Most of our expenses are in the local currencies of the relevant jurisdiction of operation, except for certain of our borrowings, which are predominantly in U.S. dollars. For example, our senior notes with an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $1,940 million as of December 31, 2022 were issued in U.S. dollars. Certain other components of our capital expenditures may also be linked to foreign currency-based pricing elements. Diesel, which is one of our most significant expenses, may be considered as linked to U.S. dollars given the international pricing of oil, and can be paid for in U.S. dollars when purchased offshore or in local currency when purchased locally. See "— Any increase in operating expenses, particularly increased costs for diesel or an inability to pass through or mitigate against increased diesel costs, could erode our operating margins and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations." Should the relevant local currencies depreciate against the U.S. dollar, the cost of buying diesel in the relevant local currency may increase, but the impact on our results is less notable when translated back into U.S. dollars at the higher foreign exchange rate. There may, however, be instances where our suppliers face foreign exchange pressure in the importation of certain materials, or as a result of the exchange rate at which they are able to source (or which applies to items for which charges are based on) foreign currency and import certain materials. This could in turn result in pressure from our suppliers to increase amounts payable by us.
We hold U.S. dollar cash balances in some of our jurisdictions of operation and/or convert local currencies to the relevant foreign currencies for payment obligations. We are also party to certain instruments and/or facilities (such as letters of credit) from time to time, where there may be requirements to hold or deposit foreign-currency linked amounts (including local currency equivalents) to back up debt or other obligations (including, but not limited to, as collateral). Accordingly, we are subject to fluctuations in the rates of currency exchange between the local currencies and the relevant foreign currency, as well as availability to source the relevant foreign currency in the jurisdictions in which we operate, and such fluctuations and/or availability could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. We may also be required to post additional foreign-currency linked amounts as collateral or otherwise to reflect such fluctuations. There may also be limited availability of U.S. dollars in the market at the time when we convert the relevant local currency to U.S. dollars, in which case we may need to convert the relevant local currency into U.S. dollars at a less favorable currency exchange rate. See also "Risks Relating to the Markets in which We Operate — Shortage of U.S. dollar, euro or other hard currency liquidity in the markets in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our ability to service our foreign currency liabilities."

In addition, our major customers may also face foreign exchange risks where their revenue is denominated in local currency, but their costs, including the fees they pay to us, are denominated in, or linked to, a foreign currency such as the U.S. dollar. When the local currency depreciates against the relevant foreign currency (such as the significant depreciation of the Naira against the U.S. dollar, from approximately ₦196.5 to $1.00 as of January 1, 2016 to ₦304.5 to $1.00 as of December 31, 2016, based on the official rate published by the CBN), it may impact the ability of our customers to make payments to us on a timely basis or at all, and our customers may either raise prices for their customers or cut back on capital and operational expenditures, both of which could reduce future demand for our services, or result in requests to renegotiate contract terms with us prior to the relevant MLA end date.
Fluctuations in exchange rates, including volatility related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the global economy or to geopolitical events including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, depreciation of local currencies and/or a lack of sufficient availability of hard/international currencies, as required, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. See "— Financial authorities in the markets in which we operate may intervene in the currency markets by drawing on external reserves, and their currencies are subject to volatility" and "— The existence of multiple foreign exchange markets with different exchange rates may impact the rate at which our operating subsidiaries' financial results are translated into U.S. dollars for group reporting purposes, which may impact our financial condition and/or results of operations."
The existence of multiple foreign exchange markets with different exchange rates may impact the rate used in our customer contracts and the rate at which our operating subsidiaries' financial results are translated into U.S. dollars for group reporting purposes, which may impact our financial condition and/or results of operations.
As described below under "— Risks Relating to the Markets in which We Operate — Financial authorities in the markets in which we operate may intervene in the currency markets by drawing on external reserves, and their currencies are subject to volatility," central banking authorities in the countries in which we operate may intervene in the currency markets or adopt policies that may impact the applicable exchange rates and/or amounts of foreign currency that may be obtained. In markets where there are multiple exchange rates available and/or referenced by the applicable banking authorities, there may be differences among the exchange rates companies use pursuant to accounting standards, contracted rates, rates quoted for other foreign exchange transactions, and 'official' central bank rates. If such differences exist, we may encounter issues relating to the interpretation or enforcement of our contracts with our customers. We may also be required to change the exchange rate applied to the translation of the local currency books of our operating subsidiaries to U.S. dollars for our consolidated group reporting purposes.
This has been particularly relevant to our operations in Nigeria, where a significant portion of our operations are based. Following the significant depreciation of the Naira against the U.S. dollar in 2016, as described in "Risks Relating to Our Business — We and our customers face foreign exchange risks, which may be material," in a continuing effort to improve U.S. dollar liquidity in Nigeria and to assist investors and exporters in accommodating foreign exchange transactions, the CBN introduced a new foreign exchange window for investors and exporters in April 2017. This foreign exchange window, which includes the NAFEX rate, currently allows willing counterparties to exchange foreign currency through authorized dealers at a rate that is essentially market driven. This resulted in a situation where there were differing exchange rates in the market and we have been required to regularly monitor and evaluate which exchange rate is most appropriate to apply in the translation of the Naira books of our Nigerian operations to U.S. dollars for our consolidated group reporting purposes.
During 2018 and 2019 the CBN official rate was approximately ₦306 to the U.S. dollar while the NAFEX rate was approximately ₦362 to the U.S. dollar. During 2020, the divergence between the two rates decreased as they both depreciated against the U.S. dollar, with the CBN rate and NAFEX rates as of December 31, 2020 being ₦380 and ₦410 to the U.S. dollar, respectively. As of May 31, 2021, the CBN ceased publishing what was the CBN Rate, although with limited impact on us given that the NAFEX rate was the most widely used rate at this time. The CBN now publishes the NAFEX rate on its website, and the NAFEX rates as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were ₦461.50 and ₦435.0 to the U.S. dollar, respectively.
The determination of the most appropriate rate to use at the relevant time we produce financial information will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, availability and liquidity in the market generally. The foreign exchange rate that we determine to be the most appropriate for the translation of our results for group reporting purposes may differ from the conversion rates contained within our contracts. For example, from January 1, 2018, the results of our subsidiaries in Nigeria have been translated into our presentation currency, U.S. dollars, at the NAFEX monthly average exchange rate for income and expenses and from December 31, 2017, the assets and liabilities at the NAFEX closing rate at the balance sheet date. Prior to the agreements that we reached with our Key Customers in Nigeria to update the reference exchange rate in our contracts to the prevailing market rate available on Bloomberg, because the NAFEX rate used for accounting
15
Table of Contents
purposes had historically been higher than the CBN official rate used in our contracts, notwithstanding any underlying performance, our financial results for the relevant periods would have shown a related decline in performance in case of devaluation of NAFEX where the CBN official rate remained at the same level. While our contracts with certain of our Key Customers in Nigeria have been amended to resolve this anomaly, there can be no assurance that such a divergence between the applicable market rate or translation rate for our financial results, and the exchange rate reflected in our contracts with customers, will not occur again, or that the prevailing market rate on Bloomberg will not diverge from other exchange rates in the market (including NAFEX), which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations, notwithstanding any underlying performance.
In addition, other measures taken by the relevant authorities and/or the CBN, including the manner in which various exchange rates are published, may further impact the rates available in the market, and we may need to consider such measures for the purposes of our accounts.
Potential investors should, therefore, bear this in mind when considering an investment in our ordinary shares, and the potential impact on the future trading and/or market price of our ordinary shares based on a decline in reported financial and/or operational performance based on such factors.
A regional or global health pandemic, such as the outbreak of COVID-19, could severely affect our business.
A regional or global health pandemic, depending upon its duration and severity, could have a material adverse effect on our business. For example, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, governmental authorities around the world implemented various measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, and such measures adversely affected workforces, supply chains, ability to carry out operations, economies and financial markets and led to an economic downturn in many of our markets. In addition, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the global economy, depreciation of local currencies and/or a lack of sufficient availability of hard/international currencies, we may experience fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in many of the markets in which we operate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. Global deterioration in economic conditions in light of COVID 19 or other global health emergencies or events could adversely and materially affect us and/or our customers through disruptions of, among other things, the ability to procure communications equipment or other supplies through the usual supply chains. For instance, shortages of capacity in shipping may occur and could affect the smooth flow of our and/or our customers' supply chains, increase transportation costs and/or decrease reliability. Global deterioration in economic conditions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic or similar future outbreaks could also adversely and materially affect the ability of us and/or our customers to maintain liquidity and deploy network capital, with potential decreases in consumer spending contributing to liquidity risks, or even through regulatory interventions or pressure on pricing and services offered that may reduce revenue for periods of time. Any resulting financial difficulties could result in uncollectible accounts receivable or reduced revenue, despite having provided increased services. Resulting supply chain or operational difficulties (including site access) may also result in us being unable to meet the service level agreement targets under our MLAs. See "— We rely on third-party contractors for various services, and any disruption in or non-performance of those services would hinder our ability to effectively maintain our tower infrastructure." The loss of significant Tenants, or the loss of all or a portion of our anticipated Contracted Revenue from certain Tenants, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
In the past, governments have taken, and may in the future take, unprecedented actions in an attempt to address and rectify these extreme market and economic conditions by providing liquidity and stability to financial markets. If these actions are not successful, the return of adverse economic conditions may cause a significant impact on our ability and the ability of our customers to raise capital, if needed, on a timely basis and on acceptable terms or at all.
To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic, or any similar future pandemic or related events could have a material adverse effect on our or our customers' business, financial condition, results of operations and/or liquidity, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this "Risk Factors" section.
We may not successfully execute our business strategy and operating plans or manage our growth, all of which depend on various factors, many of which are outside our control.
The existing and future execution of our strategic and operating plans will, to some extent, be dependent on external factors that we cannot control, such as changes in the tower infrastructure industry or the wider communications industry, particularly in the various jurisdictions in which we operate and may seek to operate in the future, changes in budgets of or demand from our current or potential customers for tower and other communications infrastructure services, international legislative and regulatory changes, changes in regional security or the economy of the countries in which we operate,
16
Table of Contents
changes in fiscal and monetary policies, the availability of additional tower and other communications infrastructure portfolios for acquisition and restrictions or other limitations relating to foreign direct investment or foreign ownership in particular markets (including, among other things, events such as inflation, geopolitical instability, health pandemics or epidemics, including COVID-19 or other outbreaks, or events with a wide-ranging regional or global impact, accelerating the implementation of any such measures or giving rise to such factors). For example, high tariffs charged to users in the countries in which we operate compared to certain other countries in which we do not operate, may impede or slow the growth of the communications industries in the countries in which we operate and, in turn, our business.
We may be unable to implement our strategy relating to the construction of New Sites and deployment of other communications infrastructure. See "— Our ability to construct New Sites or to deploy other communications infrastructure depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control."
Our ability to increase the number of Colocations and Lease Amendments on each Tower that we own across our portfolio is a key factor contributing to our growth and a key part of our strategy in the markets in which we operate. If we are unable to increase the number of Colocations and Lease Amendments on our Towers, either due to a lack of available space or from reduced customer demand, if we are unable to accurately assess and invoice customer equipment on our sites, or if we are unable to implement or achieve our other strategic plans or targets and key performance indicators, we may not achieve the revenue, margins or earnings that we need to grow or to offset the impact of any adverse economic conditions that may develop in the future.
Our ability to increase the usage of our infrastructure by our customers may depend on the performance of these customers and their success in acquiring and retaining end users for the purposes of their services. A decline in the number of end users for our customers, or lower than expected growth in end users for our customers, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
In addition, our strategic and operational plans need to be continually reassessed to meet the challenges and needs of our businesses in order for us to remain competitive. We may deploy strategic plans that ultimately do not achieve our initial expectations, particularly as they relate to entering new markets, acquiring assets or deploying growth capital. Incorrect initial assumptions or the failure to implement and execute our strategic and operating plans in a cost-effective and timely manner, or at all, realize the cost savings or other benefits or improvements associated with such plans, or have financial resources to fund the costs associated with such plans or to incur costs in excess of anticipated amounts, or sufficiently assess and reassess the plans (including, in each case, as a result of challenges that may be posed or arise as a result of operating companies in which we may not have a majority of the economic or share ownership, whether in terms of operational or further commensurate funding challenges or otherwise), could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Further, successful execution of our business plan will require effective management of growth, which may include acquisitions. The management team, operational systems and internal controls currently in place or to be implemented may not be adequate for such growth, and the steps taken to hire personnel and to improve such systems and controls may not be sufficient. If we are unable to grow as anticipated, manage our growth effectively or successfully integrate any acquisitions (including their information technology or finance systems into our control environment), it could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. See Item 4.B. "Business Overview — Our Strategy" for further information on our key strategies.
Moreover, investors and other stakeholders, including regulators, are or may become increasingly focused on our sustainability or environmental, social and governance initiatives, including our plans to reduce diesel consumption. There can be no assurance we will be able to execute such strategies or deliver on projections or targets. For more information, see "— Increased attention to, and evolving expectations for, sustainability and environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") initiatives could increase our costs, harm our reputation, or otherwise adversely impact our business."
We rely on third-party contractors for various services and any disruption in or non-performance of those services would hinder our ability to effectively deploy or maintain our infrastructure.
We engage third-party contractors to provide various services in connection with the site acquisition, construction, supply of equipment and spare parts, access management, security and preventative and corrective maintenance of tower sites, as well as power management, including the supply of diesel to certain of our sites, sometimes with a small number of contractors in the relevant jurisdiction. For example, we have outsourced power management, refurbishment, operations and maintenance and security functions for certain of our sites in Nigeria to certain key suppliers and may continue to do so in other markets (including any new markets which we may enter). Their power management functions include the supply
17
Table of Contents
of diesel to and deployment of alternative power technologies, such as hybrid and solar power technologies, on certain sites, to help reduce diesel consumption to a contracted volume. Across our 11 markets, as of December 31, 2022, we outsourced certain operations and maintenance activities at 77% of our Towers. We are exposed to the risk that the services rendered by our third-party contractors will not always be available, satisfactory or match our and/or our customers' targeted quality levels, as well as the risk that they may otherwise be unable to perform their obligations to some extent or at all, including as a result of labor disputes, insolvency, operational, access or transport restrictions or other limitations related to global or regional health events or outbreaks (such as COVID-19), geopolitical events including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, or other events resulting in the imposition of economic or trade sanctions, export controls or similar restrictions. As a result, we may experience interruptions in our ability to provide services, our customers may be unsatisfied with our services, and we may be required to pay certain financial penalties under our contracts, or our customers may terminate their contracts in the event of a material breach, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and brand, as well as our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Additionally, over the past few years the U.S. government has imposed economic and trade sanctions and export control restrictions on a number of entities in China, including certain China-based technology companies (such as Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., or Huawei, and certain of its affiliates), with whom we conduct business, It is possible that, in the future, there may be additional regulatory challenges or enhanced trade-related restrictions targeting Huawei or other China-based technology companies. Such potential restrictions or sanctions, as well as any associated inquiries or investigations or any other government actions, may be difficult or costly to comply with and may, among other things, delay or impede the development of the technology, products and solutions of China-based third-party contractors and/or suppliers with whom we are currently engaged or may become engaged with and hinder the stability of the supply chains of such contractors and suppliers, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
In addition, if third-party contractors do not meet execution targets for both financial and operational performance, including not meeting our standards of service or complying with health, safety, employment or other laws and regulations, or are unable to perform to some extent or at all, we may have to step in and complete the process. If we are required to undertake this work ourselves, it could require extensive time and attention from our management and lead to increased future operating costs while the work is carried out, which could in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
We rely on third-party suppliers for the supply of diesel, materials, equipment and other goods, and any disruption in the provision of those goods would hinder our ability to effectively deploy or maintain our infrastructure.
We rely on third parties for supply of various materials, equipment and other goods or items to support our operations, including the supply of diesel, which is critical, as many of the markets in which we currently or may, in future, operate (including, in particular, those in Africa and certain markets in the Middle East) have limited or unreliable power grid connectivity (including due to the impact of seasonal extreme weather conditions), thereby resulting in a heavy reliance on alternatives such as diesel-powered generators. Given the importance of diesel for our operations, we may purchase diesel in large quantities which is then stored at our facilities. This supply could be disrupted by events that are beyond our control, including, for example, in light of COVID-19 or any future coronavirus or other outbreaks or events with a wide-ranging regional or global impact, or events such as those related to political instability, including, for example, in connection with the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. While we aim to purchase diesel from reputable third parties that can provide a consistent supply of diesel of appropriate quality, we also cannot control the ultimate source of the diesel provided by such suppliers or any alteration in the quality of the product at the point of receipt (such as adulteration or theft of products during the delivery period).  While we maintain planning, monitoring and logistics systems including bulk storage facilities aimed at providing a consistent supply of diesel to sites, scarcity of diesel, lack of available trucks, labor disputes, queues and other issues at fuel depots and security concerns at certain sites, and fire, among other things, including the impact of climate change or related initiatives, have in the past and may in the future, cause this supply to be disrupted. Disruption in the supply of diesel or diesel quality not meeting our requirements would impede our ability to continue to power our sites and adversely affect power uptimes. Widespread or long-term disruption in the supply of diesel may result in us being unable to meet the service level agreement targets under our MLAs, and in some cases we would be required to shoulder resultant financial penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
We also rely on third-party suppliers for many of the other materials, equipment and goods necessary to operate our business, including batteries, solar panels, and fiberoptic cable. The failure of suppliers to supply equipment in a timely manner or on commercially reasonable terms could delay our plans to expand our business and otherwise increase our costs. Our orders with certain of our suppliers may represent a very small portion of their total orders. As a result, they may not give priority to our business, leading to potential delays in or cancellation of our orders. If any single-source supplier
18
Table of Contents
were to fail to supply our needs on a timely basis or cease providing us with equipment, we would be required to locate and contract with substitute suppliers. We may have difficulty identifying a substitute supplier in a timely manner and/or on commercially reasonable terms. If this were to occur, our business and operations could be harmed. In addition, adverse economic conditions, such as recent supply chain disruptions and labor shortages and persistent inflation, have impacted, and may continue to adversely impact our suppliers' ability to provide us with materials and equipment, which may negatively impact our business. These economic conditions make it more difficult for us to accurately forecast and plan our future business activities.
Additionally, there are increasing regulations and expectations in various jurisdictions that companies monitor the environmental and social performance of their suppliers, including compliance with a variety of labor practices, as well as consider a wider range of potential environmental and social matters. Compliance can be costly, require us to establish or augment programs to diligence or monitor our suppliers, or, in certain cases, to design supply chains to avoid certain regions altogether. Failure to comply with such regulations can result in fines, reputational damage, or otherwise adversely impact our business.
Our Contracted Revenue is based on certain estimates and assumptions and actual results may differ materially from such estimated operating results.
Our Contracted Revenue disclosed in this Annual Report represents our estimate of the lease fees to be received from existing Tenants of Key Customers for the remainder of each Tenant's current contractual site lease term, lease fees to be received from the existing Lease Amendments of Key Customers for the remainder of each Lease Amendment's current contractual term and lease fees to be received from Key Customers where we provide access to fiber access to an OLT for the remainder of the relevant contractual term, as of December 31, 2022. Our Contracted Revenue is based on certain estimates and assumptions, such as constant foreign exchange rates, no escalation of lease fees despite contractual provisions in our MLAs in that regard, no new tenants or new Lease Amendments added, no amendments to our existing MLA terms and no Churn. Unanticipated events may occur that could adversely affect the actual results achieved by us during the periods to which these estimates relate, causing some or all of the actual results to deviate from our estimates and assumptions, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operation.
Any increase in operating expenses or costs, particularly increased costs for diesel or ground lease costs, or an inability to pass through or mitigate against such costs, could erode our operating margins and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Our primary operating expenses include diesel fuel, site maintenance and security, salaries of engineers and security personnel, fees for licenses and permits and insurance. In addition, we incur ground lease costs and the continued development, expansion and maintenance of our tower site infrastructure requires ongoing capital expenditure. There is no assurance that our operating expenses, including those noted above, will not increase in the future or that we will be able to successfully pass any such increases in operating expenses to the customers. For example, we require a substantial amount of diesel to power our tower site operations. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the cost of power generation, which includes diesel, haulage and minimal electricity, accounted for 36.2% of our cost of sales, as compared to 29.4% of our cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Diesel prices have fluctuated significantly over time, often in parallel to changes in oil prices, and may fluctuate in the future as a result of many factors, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions, including, for example, in connection with the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the related economic sanctions, and/or climate change or related initiatives, and we are only able to pass through a component of the fuel costs at our sites to our customers under the terms of certain of our contracts. We therefore remain exposed to diesel price volatility, which may result in substantial increases in our operating costs and reduced profits if prices rise significantly. Further, our attempts to reduce power costs through the deployment of DC generators, hybrid battery and solar technologies, while presently successful, may not be successful in the future.
Our ground lease costs are for a fixed duration, typically a 10-to-15-year term, paid for either on a monthly or quarterly basis or in advance for a multi-year portion of the overall term of the lease. Approximately 20% of our ground leases are due for renewal within the next 24 months. The renewal of a large proportion of our tower portfolio ground leases within a particular year requires a significant upfront rent payment made upon such renewal, which in turn could increase our cash outflows for that particular year. Any increases in operating expenses or lease costs referred to above would reduce our operating margins and may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.

If we are unable to renew and/or extend our ground leases, or protect our rights to access and operate our Towers or other communications infrastructure assets, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.
Our site portfolio consists primarily of ground-based towers constructed on land that is leased under long-term ground lease agreements. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 88% of the sites in our portfolio were operated under ground leases on land that we do not own. For sites on leased land, approximately 42% of the ground leases have an expiration date before the end of 2027 and, as of December 31, 2022, the average remaining life of our ground leases was 8.5 years.
For various reasons, landowners or lessors may not want to renew their ground leases, may seek substantially increased rents, or they may lose their rights to the land (including, for example, if such land is subject to concession agreements) or transfer their land interests to third parties, which could affect our ability to renew ground leases on commercially viable terms or at all. In addition, we may not have the required available capital to extend these ground leases at the end of the applicable period. In the event that we cannot extend these ground leases, we will be required to dismantle and/or relocate these Towers and may lose the cash flows derived from such Towers, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Real property interests relating to Towers consist primarily of leasehold interests, which in some cases relate to sites for which special access arrangements may be required, such as Towers located on or near airports, government facilities or rooftops. For various reasons, we may not always have the ability to access, analyze and verify all information regarding titles and other issues prior to entering into a ground lease, or we may be unable to contractually agree to amendments in relation to sensitive site access issues, all of which could affect the rights to access and operate the site. From time to time, we may also experience disputes with lessors regarding the terms of ground leases, which could affect our ability to access and operate a tower site. The termination of a ground lease may interfere with our ability to operate and generate revenue from the Tower. If this were to happen at a material number of sites, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Our ability to access and operate our Towers or other communications infrastructure may also rely on right of use or other similar agreements with third parties. In the event that we cannot renew or continue to exercise our rights under these agreements, we will be required to dismantle and/or relocate these Towers or other communications infrastructure assets, and may lose the cash flows derived from such assets, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
We may experience the loss of tenancies and/or customers, and are exposed to the loss of revenue from the failure or acquisition of any customer or customer consolidation.
If we were to experience a loss of tenancies when services provided by us are terminated, a Tenant does not renew its contract or we have ceased recognizing revenue for a customer on a site in any particular period, we would face what is known as Churn. For example, Tenants may determine that demand has changed in a particular area and they no longer need tower infrastructure at certain sites. A Tenant may Churn if the MLA or SLA is not renewed at the end of its term, the customer ceases operations or switches to a competing tower company. Similarly, certain customers may be acquired, experience financial difficulties or cease operations as a result of technological changes or other factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting effects (or any future coronavirus or other outbreaks or events with a wide-ranging regional or global impact), which could result in renewal on less favorable terms, cancellation or non-renewal of our tenancy agreements. We experienced Churn of 603 and 1,283 Tenants for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Other than a customer Churning at the end of its term, limited termination clauses may apply pursuant to the relevant MLA. Certain of our customer agreements also contain a contractual right to Churn a limited number of sites each year without penalty, and customers with no such right could use their negotiating power in the future to request the ability to Churn certain tenancies. If customers terminate or fail to renew customer lease agreements with us (either on commercially acceptable terms, or at all), are acquired or, become insolvent, or otherwise become unable to pay lease fees, the loss of such customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Also, as is customary in tower infrastructure acquisitions, purchase agreements sometimes allow the purchaser of a site, such as us, to unwind sites when legal title has not been transferred by a date falling a number of months after completion of the acquisition, or the long-stop date, unless extended by the mutual consent of the parties. In the event that such unwinding takes place, which is typically at the option of the purchaser, the seller would reimburse the purchaser for the price paid for the sites that are subject to unwinding and the seller, such as the relevant MNO, would stop paying the lease fee for those sites. Failure to transfer the legal title of acquired sites, including in respect of prior acquisitions where the
20
Table of Contents
long-stop date has been extended, or future acquisitions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Further, consolidation among or with our customers could result in a reduction in their or the market demand for base transmission sites and/or Colocation, as certain base transmission sites may become redundant or additional tower spaces could be acquired through consolidation, and our customers may therefore choose not to renew their contracts and lease agreements, and we may also not be able to pursue our strategies to obtain or engage with new customers, or we may face reduced or less than anticipated demand from new or existing customers, in any particular market. Such consolidation may also result in a reduction in our customers' (or potential new customers') future capital expenditures, including as a result of their expansion plans being similar or if their requirements for additional sites decreases on a consolidated basis. We believe consolidation may occur in certain of our markets in order to achieve both the scale and economic models necessary for long-term growth. Customer or industry consolidation may also result in increased customer concentration. See "— A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a small number of MNOs. Non-performance under or termination, non-renewal or material modification of customer lease agreements with these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations." Our contracts and lease agreements may be unable to protect us adequately from a reduction in tenancies due to consolidations and we may be unable to renew contracts or lease agreements on favorable terms, or at all. If a significant number of contract or lease terminations occur due to industry consolidation, our revenue and cash flow could be adversely affected, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
A slowdown in the growth of, or reduction in demand for, wireless communications services could adversely affect the demand for tower space and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and/or results of operations.
Demand for tower space is dependent principally on demand from wireless communications carriers, which, in turn, is dependent on subscriber demand for wireless services. Most types of wireless services currently require ground-based network facilities, including communications sites for transmission and reception. The extent to which wireless communications carriers lease such communications sites depends on a number of factors beyond our control, including the level of demand for such wireless services, the availability of spectrum frequencies, the financial condition and access to capital of such carriers, changes in telecommunications regulations and general economic conditions, as well as factors such as geography and population density. In addition, if our customers or potential customers do not have sufficient funds from operations or are unable to raise adequate capital to fund their business plans or face other financial issues, they may reduce their capital spending, which could adversely affect demand for space on our towers, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
In addition, tower sharing must continue to be seen by wireless telecommunications providers as a cost-effective way to satisfy their passive infrastructure needs. Any slowdown in the growth of, or reduction in demand for, wireless telecommunications services, or any failure of tower sharing to continue to develop as a way to meet the requirements of wireless telecommunications providers in the countries in which we operate, may adversely affect the demand for tower sites and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations, as well as our cash flows.
Further, there can be no assurances that 3G, 4G , 5G, advanced wireless services in any other spectrum bands or other new wireless technologies will be deployed or adopted as rapidly as estimated or that these new technologies will be implemented in the manner anticipated or at all. Additionally, the demand by consumers and the adoption rate of consumers for these new technologies once deployed may be lower or slower than anticipated, particularly in emerging and less developed markets such as those in which we operate or may operate in the future. We may also need to adapt our business model to new technologies such as 5G and the resulting change to products and services we offer, as well as to changing customer or local or regulatory requirements, such as increasing construction of new sites and infrastructure expansion in remote or rural areas, which may be less commercially viable or more technologically or operationally challenging for us (including potentially as a result of needing to contemplate elements of active communications equipment or revenue share models within our business or operating model). These factors could adversely affect our growth rate since growth opportunities and demand for our tower space as a result of such new technologies may not be realized at the times or to the extent anticipated, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.

Table of Contents
New technologies designed to enhance the efficiency of wireless networks and potential active sharing of the wireless spectrum could reduce the need for tower-based wireless services and could make our tower infrastructure business less desirable to or necessary for Tenants and result in decreasing revenue.
The development and implementation of new technologies designed to enhance the efficiency of wireless networks or the implementation by MNOs of potential active sharing technologies could reduce the use of and need for tower-based wireless services transmission and reception and could decrease demand for tower-based antenna space and ancillary services we provide. For example, new technologies that may promote network sharing, joint development, or resale agreements by our wireless service provider customers, such as signal combining technologies or network functions virtualization, may reduce the need for our wireless infrastructure, or may result in the decommissioning of equipment on certain sites because portions of the customers' networks may become redundant. In addition, other technologies and architectures, such as WiFi, DAS, femtocells, other small cells, or satellite (such as low earth orbiting satellite systems capable of providing internet coverage, including the service recently commenced by Starlink in Nigeria) and mesh transmission systems may, in the future, serve as substitutes for, or alternatives to, the traditional macro site communications architecture that is the basis of substantially all of our site leasing business. Additional examples of such new technologies might include spectrally efficient technologies which could potentially relieve some network capacity problems, or complementary voice over internet protocol access technologies that could be used to offload a portion of subscriber traffic away from the traditional tower-based networks, which would reduce the need for telecommunications operators to add more tower-based antenna equipment at certain tower sites. MNOs in European markets have implemented active sharing technologies in which MNOs share the wireless spectrum and, therefore, need fewer of their own antennas and less tower space for such equipment. Moreover, the emergence of alternative technologies could reduce the need for tower-based wireless services transmission and reception. For example, the growth in delivery of wireless communication, radio and video services by direct broadcast satellites could materially and adversely affect demand for our antenna space, or certain alternative technologies could cause radio interference with older generation tower-based wireless services transmission and reception. As a result, the development and implementation of alternative technologies to any significant degree could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Increased competition in the tower infrastructure industry could have a material and adverse effect on our business.
Although we are a leading independent provider of telecommunications tower infrastructure in most of our markets, competition in the tower infrastructure industry exists and customers have alternatives for leasing tower space, including:
●
telecommunications operators which own and lease their own tower portfolios;
●
in certain circumstances, owners of alternative site structures such as building rooftops, outdoor and indoor DAS networks, billboards and electric transmission towers; and
●
other independent tower companies operating in the market, such as American Tower Corporation, or ATC, SBA Communications Corporation, or SBA, or other tower companies that may enter the market.
We believe that competition in the tower infrastructure industry in emerging and less developed markets (including markets such as Africa, the Middle East and Latin America) is based on, among other things, power management expertise, tower location, relationships with telecommunications operators, tower quality and height, pricing and ability to offer additional services to tenants and operational performance, as well as the size of a company's site portfolio and its ability to access efficient capital. We believe we are the market leader in Africa by tower count as of December 31, 2022, with 30,845 towers. ATC is our primary competitor in Africa among independent tower companies, including in Nigeria and South Africa , and Helios Towers Plc and SBA are other notable competitors in Africa. In Brazil, the competitive landscape is wider as of December 31, 2022, with ATC and SBA owning more towers than we do as of December 31, 2022, and numerous smaller tower companies of similar size to or smaller than our business. The Brazilian and South African competitive landscape presents opportunities for consolidation. We also compete to a lesser extent with telecommunications operators who have retained their own towers and continue to manage them and make them available for Colocation. In certain circumstances, we also compete with owners of alternative site structures such as building rooftops, outdoor and indoor DAS networks, billboards and electric transmission towers. In addition, there may be increased competition in the future from other independent tower companies operating in, or that may enter, our markets. In particular, we may face competition in Latin America from other independent tower companies who may have a substantially larger site portfolio or have operated in the region for a longer period of time than we have.

Competitive pressures could increase and could have a material adverse effect on lease rates paid by our customers, which could result in existing customers not renewing their leases, or new customers leasing towers from our competitors rather than from us. In addition, we may not be able to renew existing customer leases or enter into new customer leases, either on commercially acceptable terms or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and growth rate. Increasing competition could also make the acquisition of attractive tower portfolios or other tower companies more costly, or limit acquisition opportunities altogether, particularly in cases where our competitors have a lower cost of capital. Any of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
We may not successfully identify or integrate acquired assets or businesses into our operations or be able to fully recognize the anticipated benefits of assets or businesses that we acquire or establish in either existing or new markets.
A key element of our growth strategy has been to increase our tower portfolio through acquisitions, and we expect to continue to make acquisitions in the future, including in new geographic markets and/or adjacent communications infrastructure verticals. In 2020, we completed the acquisition of towers in Kuwait, Brazil, Peru and Colombia. In 2021 we completed the acquisition of towers in Brazil and Colombia, acquired TIM Brasil's secondary fiber network infrastructure and signed the Egypt Transaction. In 2022 we completed the acquisition of towers in South Africa and Brazil. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates in the future or acquire them on acceptable terms, including due to increased competition for attractive acquisition opportunities in the relevant markets, or that any particular acquisition or investment will perform as anticipated in our investment appraisals or related targets. Additionally, we rely on our due diligence of the acquired assets or business and the representations and financial records of the sellers and other third parties to establish the anticipated revenue and expenses and whether the acquired assets or business will meet our internal guidelines for current and future potential returns. Given the nature of the individual assets which are numerous and geographically diverse, it can be difficult to conduct effective physical diligence on these, which is typically conducted by way of a sample audit. In addition, we may not always have the ability to analyze and verify all information regarding title, access and other issues regarding the land underlying acquired towers. The condition of the assets can also deteriorate significantly during the period prior to closing (and after physical site audits) because sellers may reduce operating and capital expenditure on such towers.
Moreover, we may incur significant costs during the evaluation and consideration of new investment opportunities or the pursuit of such acquisitions, which are often conducted through competitive auction processes. Tower portfolio or other asset acquisitions typically take a considerable period of time to sign and close and usually close in stages, but can involve up-front investments that cannot be recovered regardless of whether the transaction is successfully completed. Tower portfolio or other asset acquisitions are subject to certain customary conditions precedent and closing these transactions will generally depend on whether certain conditions precedent are satisfied, such as regulatory approvals. In the event that conditions precedent are not satisfied or are not satisfied in a timely manner, we have been in the past and may in the future be unable to acquire certain tower portfolios or other assets, or closings (and therefore operations and revenue) may be delayed, while, in each case, incurring associated or continuing transaction costs. We may also at any time be participating in one or multiple sale or acquisition processes across various markets and continents (which may include processes in Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, Southeast Asia or other markets with different counterparties). Given the confidential nature of such processes the details of these would only be available once we have been selected as the preferred candidate and reached agreement on terms with the counterparty. We may also be unable to succeed in the processes (or any of them) in which we participate or reach an agreement on terms with the counterparty should we be selected as the preferred candidate. Given the often-varying transaction structures of these communications infrastructure sales or acquisitions, we often have little or no control on the timing of such processes.
We may be required to rely on the financial and operational representations, warranties and undertakings (including any indemnity) of sellers. If: (i) records with respect to the acquired assets are not complete or accurate, (ii) we do not have complete access to, or use of, the land underlying the acquired towers, (iii) we discover that the towers or other communications infrastructure have structural issues (such as overloading) (iv) the towers or other assets do not achieve the financial results anticipated, or (v) there are historic liabilities attaching to the acquired assets that we are unable to successfully recover under an indemnity, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. Furthermore, some sellers may or may not have the financial capacity to support a subsequent claim against them. While we acquire representation and warranty insurance in some of our transactions, such policies typically contain certain exclusions that would limit our ability to recover certain losses.
In addition, the process of integrating acquired assets or businesses into our operations has resulted in and may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and large expenditures and may absorb significant management attention that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development of our business. Even if we are successful in completing one or more
23

acquisitions, the failure to adequately address the financial, operational or legal risks of these transactions could harm our business. We also may incur unexpected or contingent liabilities in connection with acquisitions. We may also be unable to retain or replace key personnel of an acquired business, or recruit key personnel in the case of acquired assets, which could reduce the value of the acquisition and prevent us from realizing our strategic goals. In certain instances, including pursuant to the TIM Fiber Acquisition and the MTN SA Acquisition, we may also rely on transition services arrangements with external parties to support the operation of acquired assets while they are fully integrated. These risks may be exacerbated in material acquisitions. Further, such material acquisitions may exacerbate the risks inherent with our growth strategy, such as (i) an adverse impact on our overall profitability if the acquired towers or business does not achieve the financial results estimated in our valuation models, (ii) unanticipated costs associated with the acquisitions that may impact our results of operations for a period, (iii) increased demands on our cash resources or increased debt on our balance sheet that may, among other things, impact our ability to explore other opportunities, (iv) undisclosed and assumed liabilities that we may be unable to recover, (v) increased vulnerability to general economic conditions, (vi) an adverse impact on our existing customer relationships, (vii) additional expenses and exposure to new regulatory, political and economic risks if such acquisitions were in new jurisdictions and (viii) diversion of managerial attention.
Furthermore, our international expansion initiatives are subject to additional risks such as complex laws, regulations and business practices that may require additional resources and personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in integrating acquisitions or new businesses into our existing business or be able to fully recognize the anticipated benefits of towers or businesses that we acquire, and failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Management has identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which could affect our ability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis or cause us to fail to meet our future reporting obligations.
We are required to comply with the SEC's rules implementing Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires management to certify financial and other information in our annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements, we identified three material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting (see Item 15. "Controls and Procedures") and, accordingly, concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2022. Under PCAOB standards, a "material weakness" is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We have been working to remediate these material weaknesses as quickly and efficiently as possible (see Item 15. "Controls and Procedures"). However, we cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date or that we are taking will be sufficient to remediate in their entirety the material weaknesses we identified or avoid the identification of additional material weaknesses in the future. We cannot provide an estimate of the time required or costs expected to be incurred in connection with implementing a remediation plan. Remediation measures may be time consuming, costly, and might place significant demands on our financial and operational resources. If we are unable to successfully remediate these material weaknesses or if new material weaknesses arise in the future, and if we are unable to produce accurate and timely financial statements, our financial statements could contain material misstatements that, when discovered in the future, could cause us to fail to meet our future reporting obligations.
A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements whether due to error or fraud. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Additionally, as we now qualify as a large accelerated filer, we must include an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by our independent registered public accounting firm.  Based on the material weaknesses identified as of December 31, 2022, our independent registered public accounting firm issued an adverse opinion with respect to internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 (see Item 18. "Financial Statements"). In addition, we may be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the SEC or the NYSE on which our ordinary shares are listed. If we do not maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting in the future, or otherwise adequately comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, our independent
24
Table of Contents
registered public accounting firm may in the future identify a significant deficiency or material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, and again issue an adverse opinion with respect to internal control over financial reporting.
As a result of misstatements or restatements in our financial statements or adverse assessment by management or our independent registered public accounting firm about the effectiveness of our internal controls, we may have to delay our filings of our financial statements, and there could be an adverse reaction to the financial statements or the Company due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial statements which could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations, and could also cause the price or trading volume of our ordinary shares to decline and there could be a delay in delivering financial statements, which may result in a default under agreements governing our indebtedness.
Our ability to construct New Sites or to deploy other communications infrastructure depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control.
Our ability to construct New Sites or to deploy other communications infrastructure in new or existing markets is affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including the availability of and access to suitable land that meets our requirements, including those of the initial customer, and the availability of construction equipment and skilled construction personnel. Delays brought on by a number of factors could also adversely affect our ability to deliver New Sites or to deploy other communications infrastructure in a timely and cost-effective manner, particularly in connection with timelines contractually agreed with customers. There can be no assurance that:
●
we will be able to enter into identified new markets in which we intend to deploy New Sites or other communications infrastructure;
●
every individual New Site or other communications infrastructure asset will be commercially viable or meet our investment criteria;
●
we will be able to overcome setbacks to new construction, including local opposition;
●
we will be able to maintain relationships with the regulatory authorities and to obtain any required governmental approvals for new construction;
●
the number of towers or other infrastructure planned for construction will be completed in accordance with the requirements of customers;
●
there will be a significant need for the construction of new towers or other communications infrastructure;
●
we will be able to agree to favorable revenue share models with our customers or other parties that make constructing new rural sites economical for all parties;
●
we will be able to finance the capital expenditures associated with construction or deployment of New Sites or other communications infrastructure;
●
we will be able to import the equipment necessary for the construction or deployment of New Sites or other communications infrastructure;
●
we will be able to purchase and/or import components necessary for the construction or deployment of New Sites or other communications infrastructure, including steel and fiber, or purchase such components at expected prices or that such components will be delivered in a timely fashion; or
●
we will be able to secure rights or access to the land necessary to execute customer orders for New Sites or other communications infrastructure.
Although we are continuously examining the merits, risks and feasibility of and searching for strategic new site opportunities, such efforts may or may not result in profitable New Sites, including as a result of these uncertainties, which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. See "— We do not always operate with the required approvals and licenses for some of our sites, particularly where it is unclear whether a certain license or permit is required or where there is a significant lead time required for processing the application, and

therefore may be subject to reprimands, warnings and fines for non-compliance with the relevant licensing and approval requirements" for more information.
Increased attention to, and evolving expectations for, sustainability and environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") initiatives could increase our costs, harm our reputation, or otherwise adversely impact our business.
Companies across industries are facing increasing scrutiny from a variety of stakeholders related to their ESG and sustainability practices. Expectations regarding voluntary ESG initiatives and disclosures and consumer demand for alternative forms of energy may result in increased costs (including but not limited to increased costs related to compliance, stakeholder engagement, contracting and insurance), changes in demand for certain products, enhanced compliance or disclosure obligations, or other adverse impacts to our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
While we may at times engage in voluntary initiatives (such as voluntary disclosures, certifications, or goals, among others) or commitments, such as our Carbon Reduction Roadmap, to improve the ESG profile of our company and/or offerings or respond to stakeholder demand, such initiatives or achievement of such commitments may be costly and may not have the desired effect. Our estimates and projections regarding the implementation of such initiatives and goals, and the savings achieved from their implementation, are subject to various risks and uncertainties. For example, we may ultimately be unable to complete certain initiatives or targets, either on the timelines initially announced or at all, due to technological, cost, or other constraints, which may be within or outside of our control. Our ESG efforts may also include the adoption, or expansion, of certain ESG practices or policies, which may require us to expend additional resources to implement or to forego certain business opportunities to the extent others in our value chain do not meet pertinent requirements of such policies. By contrast, any failure, or perceived failure, to conform to such policies could have an adverse impact on our reputation and business activities. Moreover, actions or statements that we take are in many cases based on expectations, assumptions, or third-party information, which may require substantial discretion and forecasts about costs and future circumstances. While we currently believe such expectations, assumptions, and third-party information to be reasonable, it may subsequently be determined to be erroneous or be subject to misinterpretation. Even if this is not the case, our current efforts may subsequently be determined to be insufficient by various stakeholders, and we may be subject to various adverse consequences or investor or regulator engagement on our ESG initiatives and disclosures, including potential enforcement and litigation, even if such initiatives are currently voluntary. Our performance may be subject to greater scrutiny as a result of our announcement of any goals or policies and the publication of our performance against the same.
​
Moreover, despite the voluntary nature of such efforts, we may receive pressure from external sources, such as lenders, investors or other groups, to adopt more aggressive climate or other ESG-related initiatives; however, we may not agree that such initiatives will be appropriate for our business, and we may not be able to implement such initiatives because of potential costs or technical or operational obstacles. Certain market participants, including major institutional investors and capital providers, use third-party benchmarks and scores to assess companies' ESG profiles in making investment or voting decisions. Unfavorable ESG ratings could lead to increased negative investor sentiment towards us, which could negatively impact our share price as well as our access to and cost of capital. To the extent ESG matters negatively impact our reputation, it may also impede our ability to compete as effectively to attract and retain employees, customers, or business partners, which may adversely impact our operations. In addition, we expect there will likely be increasing levels of regulation, disclosure-related and otherwise, with respect to ESG matters. For example, the SEC has proposed rules that would require companies to provide significantly expanded climate-related disclosures in their periodic reporting, which may require us to incur significant additional costs to comply, including the implementation of significant additional internal controls processes and procedures regarding matters that have not been subject to such controls in the past, and impose increased oversight obligations on our management and board of directors. This and other stakeholder expectations will likely lead to increased costs as well as scrutiny that could heighten all of the risks identified in this risk factor. Such ESG matters may also impact our suppliers and customers, which may compound or cause new impacts on our business, financial condition or results of operations, including risks which may not be known to us.
​
We rely on key management personnel and any inability to recruit, train, retain and motivate key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We believe that the current management team contributes significant experience and expertise to the management and growth of the business. The continued success of the business and our ability to execute our business strategies in the future will depend in large part on the efforts of key personnel particularly Mr. Darwish, our Chairman and Group Chief Executive Officer, and our other senior officers, each of whose services are critical to the success of our business strategies. There is also a shortage of skilled personnel in the communications infrastructure industry in the markets in which we operate, which we believe is likely to continue. As a result, we may face increased competition for skilled employees in
26
Table of Contents
many job categories from tower companies, communications operators and new entrants into the communications infrastructure industry and this competition is expected to intensify. Although we believe our employee salary and benefit packages are generally competitive with those of our competitors, if our competitors are able to offer more generous salary and benefit packages in the future, we may face difficulties in retaining skilled employees. In addition, we have at times experienced a loss of personnel due to migration from the markets in which we operate. An inability to successfully integrate, recruit, train, retain and motivate key skilled employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
We have incurred and may continue to incur losses.
We incurred losses of $470 million and $26 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our losses were principally due to depreciation and amortization and finance costs, which includes realized and unrealized losses from foreign exchange movements, in each respective year. As a result of our acquisitions and exposure to foreign exchange movements, we expect our depreciation and amortization and finance costs to continue to be significant and may increase as a result of our planned growth strategy or foreign exchange volatility. If we incur losses in the future, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
We do not always operate with the required approvals and licenses for some of our sites, particularly where assets are acquired from third parties or where it is unclear whether a certain license or permit is required or where there is a significant lead time required for processing the application, and therefore may be subject to reprimands, warnings and fines for non-compliance with the relevant licensing and approval requirements.
Although we generally seek and obtain the requisite federal, national, state and/or local approvals prior to the commencement of tower construction, it is often unclear whether certain, particularly local, permits are required and, in some circumstances, local authorities have imposed permit requirements retrospectively. In instances where we acquire assets from third parties, the prior owners of those assets may not have had the requisite federal, national, state and local approvals for certain of the sites we are acquiring. There is sometimes a long lead-time required for processing applications for approvals and licenses from the local authorities, including construction and building permits required from certain state authorities to construct or build any structure and environmental approvals. See Item 4.B. "Business Overview  — Permits and Regulation — License to operate." Although we make payments in relation to the relevant permits when required, the delay encountered in receiving the permits, licenses or certificates means that we may, therefore, in limited instances, proceed with and complete tower construction and base transmission sites installation for Tenants before all required approvals and licenses have been formally issued by local authorities. As we look to expand our offering to further include services like fiber connectivity, rural offerings and other verticals, we may be subject to increased regulatory, license and permit obligations (including in respect of active telecommunications elements that may comprise part of the arrangements with customers, such as for rural offerings, which may be based on an "open RAN" architecture). We may or may not be able to meet any and all such obligations.
Although we believe these practices are customary in the telecommunications industry in the countries in which we operate, there can be no assurance that the relevant authorities will issue the licenses or approvals, if required, or that they will be issued in a timely manner or as expected. If such approvals and licenses are required and not obtained, the local or state authorities may impose penalties, such as reprimands, warnings and fines, for non-compliance with the relevant licensing and approval requirements. In addition, in some jurisdictions, federal, national, state and local authorities charge taxes and levies in relation to similar services, for example tenement rates and environmental permits for our sites. This leads to confusion over which authority should be paid the relevant levy and in many cases we must wait for a demand to be made before we can make the payment.
Additionally, certain authorities have recently become more aggressive in setting of permit fees, the enforcement of permits and collection of payments, or may become more so in the event the profile of a business is perceived to have increased. In an extreme case, local authorities may prevent us from entering our sites or demand that we dismantle the unlicensed towers, which has occurred in certain limited cases. For example, in Nigeria, it was publicly reported in 2019 that the NCAA threatened to decommission and dismantle a number of Glo towers for safety violations including failure to obtain the statutory aviation height clearance certificate. It is reported that while no towers were ultimately decommissioned or dismantled by the NCAA, this was due to the affected operators complying with demands. In addition, in December 2019 the Federal Capital Development Authority, or FCDA, stopped the issuance of permits to communications infrastructure companies in the Federal Capital Territory while it sought to review and increase fees. The FCDA briefly resumed issuing new permits in 2021 which, following a further stoppage, resumed again during 2022 following the intervention of the regulator, the Nigerian Communications Commission, or NCC. However, while permit issuance may have resumed, the final outcome of the intervention is still awaited. During previous periods when new permit issuances were on hold, the
27
Table of Contents
development and expansion of our business operations in Abuja (where we had 648 Towers as of December 31, 2022) was impacted, which consequently impacted the quality of service of remaining towers in operation in the area. If we are required to pay additional levies, penalties or fees, or relocate a material number of our Towers and cannot locate replacement sites that are acceptable to our customers, this could adversely affect revenue and cash flow, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Our business is subject to regulations, including those governing telecommunications, as well as the construction and operation of Towers, and any changes in current or future laws or regulations could restrict our ability to operate our business.
Our business, and that of our customers, is subject to national, state and local regulations governing telecommunications as well as the construction and operation of Towers. These regulations and opposition from local zoning authorities and community organizations against construction in their communities could delay, prevent or increase the cost of new tower construction, modifications, additions of new antennas to a site, or site upgrades, thereby limiting our ability to respond to customer demands and requirements. In addition, certain licenses and permits for the operation of Towers may be subjected to additional terms, conditions or fees/levies (which may be new and unexpected, as a consequence, for example, of a perceived increase in a business's profile or growth) or new permits imposed on existing sites, with which we cannot comply. As public concern over tower proliferation has grown in recent years, including as a result of concerns about alleged health risks, some communities now also try to restrict tower construction, delay granting permits or require certain towers to be dismantled and relocated. On the other hand, governments and regulators may impose additional requirements on businesses such as ours or our customers based on wider socio-economic considerations, including, potentially, requirements to construct new sites in more remote or rural areas (or regulatory actions or pressure on pricing or packages on our customers or us, including potentially imposition of local currency pricing, as may have been seen in some markets) to increase geographical and network coverage to larger parts of a population (which may be less commercially viable for us) or make services available at lower or fixed tariffs. Existing regulatory policies and changes in such policies may materially and adversely affect the associated timing or cost of such projects and/or the costs attributable to our usual business operations, and additional regulations may be adopted which increase delays, or result in additional costs, or that prevent completion of projects in certain locations. As we look to expand our offering to further include services like fiber connectivity, rural offerings and other verticals, we may be subject to increased regulatory, license and permit obligations (including in respect of active telecommunications elements that may comprise part of the arrangements with customers, such as for rural offerings which may be based on an "open RAN" architecture). We may or may not be able to meet any and all such obligations. Any imposition of new regulations, fees or levies, or failure to complete new tower construction, modifications, additions of new antennas to a site, or site upgrades could harm our ability to add additional site space and grow our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Our operations are also subject to various other laws and regulations that affect our business, such as those related to labor, tax, employment (including new minimum wage regulations), unions, health and safety, antitrust and competition, environmental protection, consumer protection, data privacy and protection, import/export, foreign exchange or currency, and anti-bribery, corruption and money laundering. We or our employees, subcontractors or agents could take actions that might violate any of these requirements. Violations, or alleged violations, of any such laws or regulations could subject us to criminal or civil enforcement actions and adversely affect our reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
We may seek to raise financing to fund future growth opportunities or operating expense reduction strategies and the inability to do so may adversely affect our ability to implement our business strategy.
We may seek to raise financing to fund future growth opportunities, or operating expense reduction strategies, including debt and equity financing. Our ability to secure future debt or equity financing in amounts sufficient for strategic growth or cost reduction opportunities could be adversely affected by many factors, including achieving the requisite shareholder support for certain equity financing. If our revenue declines, we may not be able to raise additional funds through debt or equity financing (or any debt or equity financing may not be on acceptable terms). Moreover, restrictive debt covenants under current and future indebtedness may limit our ability to raise any such further financing (or refinance existing financing) and also our ability to support our growth strategy, including making strategic acquisitions. Additionally, political instability, a downturn in the economy and/or disruption in the financial and credit markets, foreign currency fluctuations, social unrest or changes in the regulatory environment (including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or resulting effects, or any other future coronavirus or other outbreaks or events with a wide-ranging regional or global impact) could increase the cost of borrowing or restrict our ability to obtain financing for future acquisitions and other growth or cost reduction opportunities.
28
Table of Contents
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining financing from banks and other financial institutions and/or capital markets or that the cost of such financing or the other applicable terms of such financing will not make such financing more onerous than under the facilities available to us at present. If we are unable to raise the necessary financing, we may have to revise our business strategy or forgo certain strategic growth opportunities or operating expense reduction strategies, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Towers with MLL or ROU agreements are subject to termination risk.
As of December 31, 2022, we operated 1,887 towers under license to lease agreements in Cameroon and Côte d'Ivoire. We do not own these towers or the underlying land leases, but have a contractual right to operate the towers, including leasing out additional space on the towers. The MLL agreements may be terminated upon agreement of the parties if we fail to comply with specified obligations in the agreements or, in some cases, at the customer's option. If we are unable to protect our rights under, or extend, the MLL agreements, or they are terminated, we will lose the cash flows derived from such towers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. In March 2022, we completed the GTS SP5 Acquisition to acquire 2,115 SP5 towers, of which 2,113 are operated under a right-of-use (ROU) agreement, where we do not own the towers or the underlying land leases, but have a contractual right to operate the towers, including leasing out additional space on the towers. The ROU agreement may be terminated upon agreement of the parties, if we fail to comply with specified obligations in the agreements or, in some cases, at the customer's option. If we are unable to protect our rights under, or extend, the ROU agreements or they are terminated, we will lose the cash flows derived from such towers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
We provide Managed Services to towers that are owned or operated by third parties. Our inability to access these sites or to perform the services in accordance with our requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business and/or operating results.
We provide Managed Services to certain sites for our customers, which includes the provision of maintenance, security or power services, including on sites that we may not own (such as the agreement with MTN South Africa to provide power Managed Services as part of the MTN SA Acquisition), as well as the sites acquired through the MTN SA Acquisition. Sites where we provide Managed Services may be owned by the relevant customer the services are being provided for, or by other third parties. In these instances, we need to coordinate the provision of our services in line with the customer requirements as well as in accordance with the owner or operator of the tower. This includes ensuring that we have appropriate access to the relevant sites and that our equipment is adequately protected. If we are unable to perform our services under our Managed Services agreements, we may suffer penalties, the termination of such services or the loss of our equipment, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Failure to effectively operate, or successfully execute upgrades to, our group-wide enterprise resource planning, or ERP, system could have a material adverse effect on our business and/or operating results.
We are planning to undertake various technology upgrades and enhancements to support our business growth, including a significant multi-year upgrade of our group-wide ERP system. The implementation of new software and hardware involves risks and uncertainties that could cause disruptions, delays or deficiencies in the design, implementation or application of these systems. The failure of our ERP to operate effectively or to integrate with other systems, or a breach in security of these systems, could cause reduced efficiency of our operations, which could negatively impact our financial results. If we experienced any significant disruption to our ERP that we are unable to mitigate, or if any upgrades are significantly delayed or the system does not perform in a satisfactory manner or in line with business requirements, it could introduce operational risk, including cybersecurity risks, and other complications, be disruptive, and could have a material adverse effect on our operations, including our ability to report accurate, timely and consistent financial results or otherwise maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or our ability to integrate new acquisitions into our systems. We may also lose an opportunity to further improve business efficiency, process standardization, and internal controls over financial reporting across our operations.
​
Furthermore, the implementation of any ERP system upgrade or any remediation of our key information systems requires investment of capital and human resources, including substantial expenditures for outside consultants, system hardware and software in addition to other expenses, the re-engineering of business processes, and the attention of many employees who would otherwise be focused on other areas of our business. We may also experience delays, increased costs and other difficulties, including potential design defects, re-work due to changes in business plans or reporting standards, and
29
Table of Contents
the diversion of management's attention from day-to-day business operations. If we are not able to accurately forecast expenses and capitalized costs related to system upgrades and repairs, our financial condition and operating results may be adversely impacted. The implementation of new initiatives or upgrades and remediation of existing systems may not achieve the anticipated benefits and may divert management's attention from other operational activities, negatively affect employee morale, or have other unintended consequences.
​
Our sites contain sensitive and fragile equipment and indemnities obtained from suppliers and contractors may be inadequate to cover any losses or damages to our customers' property.
Our sites host sensitive and fragile communications equipment, which could be damaged by actions of our maintenance subcontractors, suppliers or the original equipment manufacturer who may be present on our sites during the course of their duties. While we strive to obtain contractual indemnities and insurance protections from our maintenance subcontractors and suppliers with respect to damage to our property and those of our customers, such contractual rights to indemnity may not adequately cover all losses and/or we may not be able to recover such losses due to protracted litigation, defenses successfully raised by the counterparty and/or insolvency of the subcontractor or supplier, which may lead to increased costs and in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
We rely on key information technology systems, which may be vulnerable to physical or digital/electronic damage, security breaches or cyber-attacks that could have a material adverse effect on our reputation as well as our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
We rely on information technology to conduct our daily business, procure products, pay suppliers, communicate internally and externally, share files, and efficiently and accurately provide services to our customers and monitor our operations, including via the operation of our network operations centers, which is key to our site maintenance and performance management. While we seek to apply best practice policies and internal controls, and devote significant resources to network security and other security measures to protect our information technology and communications systems and data, these measures cannot provide absolute security. In addition, the tools used by cyber criminals continue to evolve in order to circumvent such security measures and maximize the potential damage of a successful attack. Some of our networks are also managed by third-party service providers and are not under our direct control. Third (and beyond) parties have been a popular attack vector for cyber criminals, and depending on the nature of the relationship with some of these partners, we sometimes use their code, software, human-power, networks, or give them access to our servers and data, among many other scenarios. A security vulnerability at any of these third-party partners could potentially provide an opportunity for a cyber criminal to reach or damage our networks or data. Despite existing security measures, certain parts of our infrastructure, including, for example, our fiber infrastructure network for the provision of residential broadband services to consumers, may be vulnerable to damage, disruptions, or shutdowns due to unauthorized access, software bugs, phishing attacks, employee errors, computer viruses, cyber-attacks, and other security breaches, particularly in times of increased usage and reliance such as during and following the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, many types of cyberattacks are designed to be difficult to detect in order to harvest as much data or cause as much systemic damage as possible before detection. As a result, in the event of a cyberattack our systems could be compromised without our knowledge for a period of time before the attack is detected and addressed. The performance of our information technology systems may also be impacted by certain operating conditions in our jurisdictions of operation, including lack of reliable power supply, shortages in replacement parts, as well as general security conditions. In addition, if our employees are required to work from home as a result of global or regional health pandemics, our information technologies and systems may be particularly strained or increasingly vulnerable. An attack attempt or security breach, such as a distributed denial of service attack, or damage caused by other means could potentially result in the interruption or cessation of certain or all of our services to our customers, our inability to meet expected levels of service or data transmitted over our customers' networks being compromised, as well as other unforeseen damages. In the event of a potential breach, while we would endeavor to comply with any applicable requirements to inform impacted parties within a reasonable time, priority may be given to containing and eliminating the cyberattack in order to limit the damage; which as a result could potentially delay our communication of the identified attack to customers, suppliers, concerned agencies or authorities or other relevant parties.
In addition, we may collect, store and process certain sensitive data (either in respect of our personnel, or from our customers, end-users or suppliers), which makes us a potentially vulnerable target to cyber-attacks, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins or similar disruptions or data theft. While we have taken steps to protect the confidential information that we have access to, our security measures could be breached. Because the techniques used to sabotage or obtain unauthorized access to systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until they are launched against a target, we may not be able to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures. Any accidental or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access to our system could cause any such confidential
30
Table of Contents
information to be stolen and used for criminal purposes. Security breaches or unauthorized access to confidential information could also expose us to liability related to the loss of the information, time-consuming and expensive litigation and negative publicity. If our security measures are breached because of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, or if design flaws in our technology infrastructure are exposed and exploited, our relationships (in particular, those with our customers) could be severely damaged, we could incur significant liability and it could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. Moreover, as a result of the increasing awareness concerning the importance of safeguarding personal information, the potential misuse of such information and legislation that has been adopted or is being considered in some of our markets regarding the protection, privacy and security of personal information, information-related risks are increasing. Failure to comply with any such data protection laws may result in, among other consequences, fines, litigation or regulatory actions. Any failure or perceived failure by us to prevent information security breaches or to comply with privacy policies or privacy-related legal obligations, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized release or transfer of personally identifiable information or other customer or end-user data, could cause our customers to lose trust in us and could expose us to legal claims.
We cannot guarantee that our security and power back-up measures will not be circumvented or fail, resulting in customer network failures or interruptions that could impact our customers' network availability, potentially resulting in penalties for failure to meet targeted quality levels, as well as otherwise having a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition and/or operational results. We may be required to spend significant resources to protect against or recover from such threats and attacks. In addition, as we implement new information technology systems, we cannot guarantee that our new security measures will be sufficient. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed, and we could lose customers. Further, the perpetrators of cyber-attacks are not restricted to particular groups or persons. Our employees or external actors operating in any geography may commit these attacks. Any such events could result in legal claims or penalties, disruption in operations, misappropriation of sensitive data, damage to our reputation, negative market perception, or costly response measures, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
We could have liability under health, safety and environmental laws or fail to accurately report on or meet our sustainability metrics and targets.
Our operations are subject to the requirements of various environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations, including those relating to the management, use, storage, disposal, emission and remediation of, and exposure to, hazardous and non-hazardous substances, materials, waste, as well as items related to our day-to-day operations such as transport and construction. As an operator of communications infrastructure that has a heavy reliance on diesel, we may purchase diesel in large quantities that is then stored at our facilities. As the owner, lessee or operator of these facilities, we may be liable for substantial costs or remediation under health, safety and environment laws in the event that there is leakage or spillage from these storage facilities. As the owner, lessee or operator of communications sites, we may be liable for the substantial costs of remediating soil and groundwater contaminated by hazardous materials, without regard to whether we, as the owner, lessee or operator, knew of or were responsible for the contamination. Many of these laws and regulations contain information reporting and record-keeping requirements, which may be burdensome for us or have high costs associated with compliance, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
There can be no assurance that we are or will be in full compliance with all environmental requirements at all times. For example many of our sites rely on the use of carbon-emitting power systems, and at the time of acquisition, certain towers acquired from other companies may not be compliant with environmental regulations or may lack certain environmental permits. We may be subject to potentially significant fines, penalties or criminal sanctions if we fail to comply with any of these requirements. The requirements of these laws and regulations are complex, change frequently, and could become more stringent in the future. It is possible that liabilities will arise in the future in a manner that could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Failure to provide a safe and healthy working environment in accordance with the relevant applicable legislation, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and related measures imposed in many of the markets in which we operate, may result in government authorities forcing closure of sites on a temporary or permanent basis or refusing lease or license applications. Working conditions, including aspects such as weather and temperature, can add to the inherent dangers.
While we have invested, and will continue to invest, substantial resources in our occupational health and safety programs, there can be no assurance that we will avoid significant liability exposure. We may not be able to deliver a sustained improvement in safety performance if management interventions and training initiatives fail to translate into behavioral
31
Table of Contents
change by all employees, contractors and/or suppliers. Non-compliance with critical controls is a common failure in safety incidents which can lead to loss of life, workplace injuries and safety-related stoppages, all of which immediately impact operational performance and, in the long term, threaten our ability to operate as intended.
Given the high degree of operational risk in our industry, we have suffered fatalities in the past and may suffer additional fatalities in the future. Serious accidents, including fatalities, may subject us to civil or criminal fines and penalties, liability to employees and third parties for injury, illness, or death and other financial consequences, which may be significant. In addition, if our safety record were to deteriorate over time or we were to suffer substantial penalties or criminal prosecution for violation of health and safety regulations, our customers could cancel our contracts and elect to procure future services from other providers. Unsafe work sites also have the potential to increase employee turnover, increase the costs of projects for our customers, and raise our operating costs. We could also suffer impairment to our reputation, industrial action or difficulty in recruiting and retaining skilled employees and contractors. Any future changes in laws, regulations or community expectations governing safety of our operations could result in increased compliance and remediation costs.
Any of the foregoing developments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and/or financial condition. Moreover, there has been increasing public focus, including by investors, customers, environmental activists, the media and governmental and nongovernmental organizations, on a variety of environmental, social and other sustainability matters. This emphasis on environmental, social and other sustainability matters has resulted and may result in the adoption of new laws and regulations, including new reporting requirements as well as our adoption of new voluntary reporting. If we fail to comply with new laws, regulations or reporting requirements or there are inaccuracies in our reporting or we fail to achieve expected or anticipated metrics, targets or sustainability initiatives, our reputation and business could be materially adversely impacted.
Revenue and/or costs could be adversely affected due to perceived health risks from radio emissions, particularly if these perceived risks are substantiated.
Public perception of possible health risks, including any perceived connection between radio frequency emissions associated with cellular and other wireless communications technology and certain negative health effects, could interrupt or slow the growth of wireless companies. In particular, negative public perception of, and regulations regarding, these perceived health risks could increase opposition to the development and expansion of tower sites. There have been instances in certain telecommunication markets globally where towers have been vandalized due to perceived health risks associated with 5G technology, including potentially related to COVID-19 as well. The potential connection between radio frequency emissions and certain negative health effects has been the subject of substantial study by the scientific community in recent years, and numerous health-related lawsuits have been filed around the world against wireless carriers and wireless device manufacturers. If a scientific study or court decision resulted in a finding that radio frequency emissions posed health risks to consumers, it could negatively impact the market for wireless services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operation. We do not maintain any significant insurance with respect to these matters.
We may experience local community opposition to some of our sites or other communications infrastructure.
It is normal in the industry to experience, and we may in the future experience, local community opposition to our existing tower sites or the construction of new towers or deployment of other communications infrastructure assets for various reasons, including concerns about alleged health risks and noise or nuisance complaints. See "— Revenue and/or costs could be adversely affected due to perceived health risks from radio emissions, particularly if these perceived risks are substantiated." As a result of such local community opposition, we could be required by the local authorities to dismantle and relocate certain tower sites or other communications infrastructure. If we are required to relocate certain tower sites or other communications infrastructure and cannot locate replacement sites that are acceptable to our customers, it could materially and adversely affect our revenue and cash flow, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Our insurance may not provide adequate coverage for natural disasters, security breaches and other unforeseen events.
We may not carry insurance for all categories of risk that our business may encounter. Our business assets are subject to risks associated with natural disasters, such as windstorms, floods and hurricanes, including any impact of climate change, as well as theft, particularly of diesel or batteries, vandalism, terror attacks and other unforeseen damage. In certain instances, such as where we store diesel at our facilities, we may be unaware that theft of the diesel is taking place, despite controls that we have in place to prevent this, rendering insurance covering such theft ineffective. In addition, in the event
32
Table of Contents
a tower has been constructed in a substandard manner, is overloaded or has not been properly maintained, it may be at risk of collapse or damage. Any damage or destruction to our towers as a result of these or other risks would impact our ability to provide services to our customers. While we maintain insurance to cover the cost of replacing damaged towers, and business interruption insurance and general liability insurance to protect ourselves in the event of an accident involving a tower, we might have claims that exceed our coverage under our insurance policy or claims may be denied and, as a result, the insurance may not be adequate. Insurance may not adequately cover all lost revenue, including revenue lost from new tenants that could have been added to the towers but for the damage. In addition, while we maintain insurance coverage with respect to certain claims, we may not be able to renew or obtain such insurance on acceptable terms in the future, if at all, and any such insurance may not provide adequate coverage against any such claims. Any significant uninsured losses or liabilities may require us to pay substantial amounts, which would reduce our working capital and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations. If we are unable to obtain adequate insurance coverage or provide services to our customers as a result of damage to our towers, it could lead to customer loss, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
While we seek to purchase insurance from financially strong, reputable insurance companies there can be no guarantee that such insurers will be able to pay claims when they arise due to liquidity or solvency reasons. Any delay or shortfall in receipt of insurance proceeds could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Maintenance of Towers could subject us to liability for property damage or other accidents.
There are risks inherent in the maintenance and use of Towers. Upon acquisition of a new Tower, we update and conduct maintenance to bring such Towers into compliance with our operational and safety standards. The collapse of a Tower, or portion of a Tower, due to known defects we have been unable to address or unforeseen defects, or due to improper maintenance or otherwise, could cause injury to or death of individuals or damage to surrounding property. Further, maintenance work on Towers is inherently dangerous and accidents could result in injury to or death of maintenance workers or other parties. Any such damage or accident could subject us to third-party claims regarding our potential liability, even in cases where we have outsourced maintenance work to third parties. We could incur significant costs defending any such claims and, if we were found liable, paying any resulting claims, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
We are subject to the effects of climate change.
There are inherent climate-related risks wherever business is conducted. Certain of our facilities, including our Towers, as well as third-party infrastructure on which we rely, are located in areas that have experienced, and are projected to continue to experience, various meteorological phenomena (such as drought, heatwaves, wildfire, storms, and flooding, among others) or other catastrophic events that may disrupt our or our suppliers' operations, cause damage or loss to our Towers or other assets, limit the availability of resources, result in additional costs, delay or prevent the completion of projects in certain locations, or otherwise adversely impact our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Climate change may increase the frequency and/or intensity of such events. Climate change may also contribute to various chronic changes in the physical environment, such as sea-level rise or changes in ambient temperature or precipitation patterns, which may also adversely impact our or our suppliers' operations. Some countries in which we operate rely on the generation of electricity through hydro-electric schemes. If changing weather patterns cause water shortages or prolonged droughts in those countries or regions, that may affect our ability to deliver services to our customers. While we may take various actions to mitigate our business risks associated with climate change, this may require us to incur substantial costs and may not be successful, due to, among other things, the uncertainty associated with the longer-term projections associated with managing climate risk. For example, to the extent catastrophic events become more frequent, it may adversely impact the availability or cost of insurance.
Additionally, we expect to be subject to risks associated with societal efforts to mitigate or otherwise respond to climate change, including but not limited to increased regulations, evolving stakeholder expectations, and changes in market demand. For more information, see "— Increased attention to, and evolving expectations for, sustainability and environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") initiatives could increase our costs, harm our reputation, or otherwise adversely impact our business." Any of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.

We may become party to disputes and legal, tax and regulatory proceedings or actions.
In the ordinary course of business, we have been, are and may in the future be, named as a defendant or an interested party in legal, tax, regulatory and/or law enforcement actions, proceedings, claims and disputes by governments, regulators, entities or individuals in connection with our business activities. In certain of the jurisdictions in which we operate, there may be a higher likelihood that such actions, proceedings, claims and disputes may be brought by governments, regulators, entities or individuals for fees, taxes or other payments, even if meritless or frivolous under applicable law, and these actions, proceedings, claims and disputes may increase as the profile of our business rises along with the continued growth and development of our business. Any such investigations, actions, litigation, disputes or proceedings, as well as lawsuits initiated by us for the collection of payables, may be costly, may in certain circumstances require us to dismantle tower sites, may be harmful to our reputation and may divert significant management attention and other resources away from the business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Similarly, any material litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business and we may not have established adequate provisions for any potential losses associated with litigation not otherwise covered by insurance, which could have a material adverse effect on our prospects, business, financial condition and/or results of operations. Additionally, any negative outcome with respect to any legal actions in which we are involved in the future could require payment of fines, penalties or judgments in amounts that could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
It is possible that disputes with customers could lead to a termination of agreements with customers or a material modification of the terms of those agreements, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. If we are forced to resolve any of these disputes through litigation, our relationship with the applicable customer could be terminated or damaged, which could lead to decreased revenue or increased costs, and could have a material adverse effect on our reputation as well as our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
In addition, we have been, are and may in the future be, subject to regulatory and/or law enforcement investigations, actions or proceedings from time to time. In 2017, certain of our bank accounts had "post no debit" restrictions placed on them during the course of certain inquiries by the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, or EFCC, and, until the restriction on the bank accounts was lifted during the latter half of 2018, we were unable to access approximately $197 million. Currently, no amounts remain restricted pursuant to those restrictions (and we were not notified of any formal allegation or investigation against us), however we cannot guarantee that regulators or other authorities or agencies will not take a similar approach should they undertake investigations or inquiries in the future, irrespective of the veracity of any potential claim or severity of any potential outcome.
In 2019, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act, or FCCP Act, became law, introducing competition regulations in Nigeria. Pursuant to the FCCP Act, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, or FCCPC, is authorized to designate the market share that would constitute a dominant market share for the purposes of the FCCP Act. The FCCPC has overarching powers to regulate competition in Nigeria, and when its regulatory powers overlap with those of an industry-specific regulator, such as the NCC in the area of competition and consumer protection, the FCCPC takes precedence and the two bodies must otherwise work together to regulate competition in that specific industry. Given that we are the leading provider of passive communications infrastructure services in Nigeria, the FCCPC and the NCC may determine that we are in a dominant position in the market and, in an effort to ensure that there is no abuse of market position, may commence a regulatory inquiry or action, levy fines, or otherwise require pricing or other modifications of our contract terms or impose restrictions on our ability to build New Sites or operate existing sites. In addition, where we are required to appear before the tribunal of the NCC, the tribunal has the power under certain circumstances to order us to sell a portion or all of our shares, interests or assets.
Additionally, in the ordinary course of business, we are subject to regular tax reviews. For example, following a detailed tax audit undertaken in 2018 in Nigeria, all matters were settled with no additional material liability (though some tax payments were made). A number of tax audits have been raised in multiple jurisdictions, some of which are ongoing, including in Nigeria. There can be no assurance that such ongoing audits or future audits will not result in material liability which could, in turn, have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.

There could be material adverse tax consequences for our shareholders in the United States if we are classified as a "passive foreign investment company" for United States federal income tax purposes.
Under United States federal income tax laws, if a company is, or for any past period during which a United States shareholder held shares in such company was, a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, it could have adverse United States federal income tax consequences to such United States shareholder even if the company is no longer a PFIC. We do not believe that we currently are or have been a PFIC for the taxable year ending December 31, 2022, and we do not expect to be a PFIC in the future. However, the determination of whether we are a PFIC is a factual determination made annually based on all the facts and circumstances after the close of each taxable year, and the principles and methodology used in determining whether a company is a PFIC are subject to ambiguities and different interpretations. Therefore, we cannot assure you that we will not be a PFIC for the current taxable year or in the future. If we are a PFIC, United States shareholders would be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences. United States purchasers of our ordinary shares are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning United States federal income tax consequences of holding our ordinary shares if we are considered to be a PFIC. See the discussion under Item 10.E. "Taxation—Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations."
If a United States person is treated as owning at least 10% of the ordinary shares, such holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.
If a United States person is treated as owning (directly, indirectly, or constructively) at least 10% of the value or voting power of the ordinary shares, such person may be treated as a "United States shareholder" with respect to each "controlled foreign corporation" in the Group (if any). A United States shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation may be required to report annually and include in its U.S. taxable income its pro rata share of "Subpart F income," "global intangible low-taxed income," and investments in U.S. property by controlled foreign corporations, regardless of whether the Company makes any distributions. An individual that is a United States shareholder with respect to a controlled foreign corporation generally would not be allowed certain tax deductions or foreign tax credits that would be allowed to a United States shareholder that is a U.S. corporation. Failure to comply with these reporting obligations may subject a United States shareholder to significant monetary penalties and may prevent the statute of limitations with respect to such United States shareholder's U.S. federal income tax return for the year for which reporting was due from starting. The Company cannot provide any assurances that it will assist holders of the ordinary shares in determining whether any of its non-U.S. subsidiaries is treated as a controlled foreign corporation or whether any holder of the ordinary shares is treated as a United States shareholder with respect to any such controlled foreign corporation or furnish to any United States shareholders information that may be necessary to comply with the aforementioned reporting and tax paying obligations. A U.S. Holder (as defined in Item 10.E. "Taxation—Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.") should consult its advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to an investment in the ordinary shares.
Changes in our rates of taxation, and audits, investigations and tax proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and/or results of operation.
We are subject to direct and indirect taxes in numerous jurisdictions. We calculate and provide for such taxes in each tax jurisdiction in which we operate. The amount of tax we pay is subject to our interpretation of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we file. We will seek to run IHS Holding Limited in such a way that it is and remains tax resident in the United Kingdom. We have taken and will continue to take tax positions based on our interpretation of tax laws, but tax and/or accounting often involves complex matters and judgement is required in determining our worldwide provision for taxes and other tax liabilities.
Although we believe that we have complied with all applicable tax laws, there can be no assurance that a taxing authority will not have a different interpretation of the law and assess us with additional taxes (and possibly related interest and/or penalties).
We are subject to ongoing tax audits in various jurisdictions. Tax authorities have disagreed, and may in the future disagree, with our judgements. We regularly assess the likely outcomes of these audits to determine the appropriateness of our tax liabilities. However, our judgements might not be sustained as a result of these audits, and the amounts ultimately paid could be different from the amounts previously recorded and such amounts could be material. In addition, our effective tax rate in the future could be adversely affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in tax laws. Tax rates in the jurisdictions in which we operate may change as a result of macroeconomic, political or other factors. Increases in the tax rate in any of the jurisdictions in which we operate could have a negative impact on our profitability. In addition, changes in tax laws, treaties or regulations, or their interpretation or enforcement, may be unpredictable, particularly in the types of markets in which we
35
Table of Contents
operate (such as emerging markets), and could become more stringent, which could materially adversely affect our tax position. Any of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Future changes to tax laws could materially adversely affect us and reduce net returns to our shareholders.
Our tax treatment is subject to changes in tax laws, regulations, tax policy initiatives and reforms in jurisdictions in which we operate. In addition, our tax treatment may also be affected by tax policy initiatives and reforms related to the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development, or the OECD, the work of the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Pillar One and Pillar Two and other initiatives.
Such changes may include (but are not limited to) the taxation of operating income, investment income, interest income, dividends received or dividends paid. We are unable to predict what tax reform may be proposed or enacted in the future, possibly with retroactive effect, or what effect such changes would have on us. Any such changes could affect our financial position and overall or effective tax rates in countries where we have operations, reduce post-tax returns to our shareholders, and increase the complexity, burden and cost of tax compliance.
In July 2022, the UK government published legislation implementing the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework Pillar Two. This will apply a top-up tax to subsidiaries of groups headed by UK resident companies with annual group revenue exceeding €750 million.  A tax liability may apply in cases where profits arise to group entities in jurisdictions which are taxed below the minimum rate of 15%.  In the case of IHS Holding Limited, this is expected to apply for the year ended December 31, 2024 onwards.  In December 2022, the United Arab Emirates published legislation to introduce corporate income tax on certain categories of income which may apply to our companies resident in the United Arab Emirates from the year ended December 31, 2024 onwards.  While these changes have not yet been substantively enacted in the United Kingdom or United Arab Emirates, if enacted they could have a material adverse impact on our operations and post-tax returns to our shareholders.
Certain countries in which we operate may treat the indirect change of ownership of our subsidiaries as triggering tax charges.
Changes in the indirect ownership of our subsidiaries resulting from a transfer of our shares can represent a taxable event in certain circumstances in some jurisdictions in which certain of our subsidiaries are located. The applicable taxes may include taxes on capital gains and transfer taxes. Depending on the jurisdiction, the liability can potentially fall on our shareholders (existing or new) or one of our underlying subsidiaries. In jurisdictions where such rules apply, the scope of the legislation and the practical application by the tax authorities can be somewhat uncertain and therefore there is a risk of such liabilities arising, either to one of our subsidiaries or to a shareholder.
We believe that, based on advice from a leading third-party tax expert in the area, the issuance of new shares would not give rise to any such capital gains or transfer tax liabilities.
However, in several jurisdictions in which we operate (excluding Nigeria, the most material jurisdiction to us) it is possible that transfers of our shares could still give rise to tax liabilities for our shareholders. Some of the relevant jurisdictions do not provide clear guidance to exempt the sale of listed shares from the scope of these rules and there may be a higher risk with regards to substantial disposals or acquisitions of our shares. We will take all steps which are reasonably possible within the legislation of the relevant jurisdictions to mitigate such risks for shareholders, but cannot guarantee that the relevant tax authorities will not seek to impose capital gains or transfer taxes on a shareholder upon transfers of our shares. Prospective purchasers should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to an investment in our shares.
We are exposed to the risk of violations of anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws or other similar regulations.
We operate and conduct business in various emerging and less developed markets (including Africa, the Middle East and Latin America), and we may expand into additional markets, which at times experience high levels of fraud, bribery and corruption. We are subject to the applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations of the markets in which we operate, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, or the FCPA, and the UK Bribery Act 2010, or the UK Bribery Act. The FCPA prohibits providing, offering, promising, or authorizing, directly or indirectly, including potentially through third party agents acting on our behalf, anything of value to non-U.S. government officials, political parties, or candidates for political office for the purposes of obtaining or retaining business or securing any improper business advantage. As part of our business, we are regularly required to deal with regulators, government ministries, departments and agencies to obtain
36
Table of Contents
permits and licenses to operate our business. We also periodically enter into joint ventures with government ministries, departments and agencies in the ordinary course of our business. The employees of these regulators and government ministries, departments and agencies may be considered government officials for the purposes of the FCPA. The provisions of the UK Bribery Act extend beyond bribery of government officials and are broader than the FCPA in a number of other respects, including jurisdiction, non-exemption of facilitation payments and penalties. In particular, the UK Bribery Act (unlike the FCPA) also applies to the active payment of bribes to private persons (i.e. non-government officials) as well as the passive receiving of bribes. Furthermore, unlike the vicarious liability regime under the FCPA, whereby corporate entities can be liable for the acts of its employees, the UK Bribery Act introduced a new offense applicable to corporate entities and partnerships which carry on part of their business in the United Kingdom that fail to prevent bribery, which can take place anywhere in the world, by persons who perform services for or on behalf of them, subject to a defense of having adequate procedures in place to prevent the bribery from occurring. The offense can render parties criminally liable for the acts of their agents, joint venture partners, or commercial partners even if done without their knowledge.
Public companies listed in the United States are required to maintain records that accurately and fairly represent their transactions and have an adequate system of internal accounting controls. We maintain internal controls, policies, procedures and training to ensure compliance by us and our directors, officers, employees, representatives, consultants, and agents with the FCPA, UK Bribery Act and other applicable anti-corruption laws and make efforts to ensure their effectiveness. However, we can make no assurance that the controls, policies and procedures, even if enhanced, have been or will be followed at all times or effectively detect and prevent all violations of the applicable laws and every instance of fraud, bribery and corruption. As a result, we could be subject to potential civil or criminal penalties, disgorgement and other sanctions and remedial measures and legal expenses under the relevant applicable law, which could have material adverse effects on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations if we fail to prevent any such violations or are the subject of investigations into potential violations, which may result in a significant diversion of management's attention and resources and significant defense costs and other professional fees. In addition, such violations could also negatively impact our reputation and, consequently, our ability to win future business. Any such violation by competitors, if undetected, could give them an unfair advantage when bidding for contracts. The consequences that we may suffer due to the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
We are subject to certain export controls, trade and economic sanctions laws and regulations that could impair our ability to compete in international markets and subject us to liability for non-compliance.
Our business activities may, at times, be subject to various export controls and trade and economic sanctions laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the U.S. Commerce Department's Export Administration Regulations, the trade and economic sanctions programs administered and enforced by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, and the U.S. State Department's Nonproliferation Sanctions, collectively, "Trade Controls". Such Trade Controls may prohibit or restrict our ability to, directly or indirectly, conduct activities or dealings in or with certain countries or territories,  as well as with governments, individuals or entities that are the subject of Trade Controls-related prohibitions and restrictions, collectively. Further, our sales and services to certain customers may at times trigger reporting requirements under applicable Trade Controls.
For instance, the U.S. government has imposed export control restrictions effectively barring sales of items (including components and software) that are subject to U.S. export controls to, among other parties, Huawei and certain other China-based technology companies with whom we conduct business. Although we maintain policies and procedures reasonably designed to maintain compliance with Trade Controls applicable to us (including those that target Huawei and certain of our other counterparties) we cannot ensure that such policies and procedures will be effective in preventing violations of applicable Trade Controls. Further, any sanctions imposed on us as a result of dealings with Huawei or other organizations that are the target of U.S. export controls (or indirectly as a result of our customers, suppliers and other third-party contractors having such dealings) could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. These restrictions, and similar or more expansive restrictions that may be imposed by the United States or other jurisdictions in the future, may also materially impact and could have a material adverse effect on certain of our customers' abilities to acquire technologies, systems, devices or components that may be critical to their technology infrastructure, service offerings and business operations, which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Although we have implemented compliance measures designed to comply with applicable Trade Controls, our failure or the failure of our customers, suppliers and third-party contractors to successfully comply with applicable Trade Controls may expose us to negative legal and business consequences, including civil or criminal penalties, government investigations, and reputational harm, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or
37
Table of Contents
results of operations. See "— We rely on third-party contractors for various services, and any disruption in or non-performance of those services would hinder our ability to effectively maintain our tower infrastructure."
Our risk management policies and procedures may not be fully effective in achieving their purposes.
Our policies, procedures, controls and oversight to monitor and manage our enterprise risks may not be fully effective in achieving their purpose and may leave us exposed to identified or unidentified risks. Past or future misconduct by our employees or contractors could result in violations of law, regulatory sanctions and/or serious reputational harm or financial harm. We monitor our policies, procedures and controls; however, we cannot assure you that our policies, procedures and controls will be sufficient to prevent all forms of misconduct. We review our compensation policies and practices as part of our risk management program, but it is possible that our compensation policies could incentivize management and other employees to subject us to inappropriate risk or to engage in misconduct. If such inappropriate risks or misconduct occurs, it is possible that it could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
We engage in transactions with certain related parties, and if their support and backing does not continue or a conflict of interest arises, our ability to deliver certain services could be harmed and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
MTN Group is one of our shareholders as well as a related party of certain MTN Group operating entities that are our customers in the African countries in which we currently operate. While such customers collectively accounted for 62% and 66% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, our relationship with each MTN Group operating entity is managed separately through separate contracts for each MTN Group operating entity in each country. While we currently have effective working relationships with the relevant entities in each operating country, there can be no assurance that conflicts of interest, inherent in related party transactions, may not arise in the future, potentially resulting in disadvantages to us or the conclusion of transactions on less satisfactory terms, which could in turn affect our ability to deliver certain services and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. See Item 7.B. "Related Party Transactions."
If we do not achieve black economic empowerment objectives in our South African businesses, we could jeopardize our ability to continue to do business or to secure future business in South Africa.
The South African government established a legislative framework for the promotion of Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment ("B-BBEE"). Achievement of B-BBEE objectives is measured by a scorecard which establishes a weighting for the various components of B-BBEE which relate to ownership, enterprise and supplier development and socio-economic development. B-BBEE objectives are pursued, in significant part, by requiring parties who contract with corporate, governmental and state-owned enterprises in South Africa to achieve B-BBEE compliance through satisfaction of an applicable scorecard. Scorecards are independently reviewed by accredited verification agencies which issue a certificate that presents an entity's B-BEE contributor level. This B-BBEE verification process is conducted on an annual basis. As part of the MTN SA Acquisition, we agreed to achieve and maintain certain B-BBEE contributor levels beginning in fiscal year 2023. We are also required, including by the Competition Commission of South Africa, to achieve 30% B-BBEE ownership, as defined in the regulations governing the B-BBEE program, in our South African businesses. Failing to achieve or maintain the applicable B-BBEE requirements could jeopardize our ability to continue to do business or to secure future business in South Africa.
Risks Relating to the Markets in which We Operate.
Our current operations are conducted in, and many of our customers are located in emerging markets. Accordingly, our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations depend significantly on the economic and political conditions prevailing in such markets, particularly Nigeria, which is our largest market of operation.

Our current and potential markets are subject to greater risks than more developed markets, and financial turmoil in such markets (including those in which we operate) could disrupt our business and cause the price of our ordinary shares to decline.
Investing in securities of issuers in emerging and less developed markets generally involves a higher degree of risk than investments in securities of corporate or sovereign issuers from more developed countries and carries risks that are not typically associated with investing in more mature markets. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
●
greater potential adverse economic or other impacts of global events, such as health pandemics or epidemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic and future coronavirus or other outbreaks or events with a wide-ranging regional or global impact;
●
greater political risk, and changes in, and instability of, the political and economic environment, such as the recent economic slowdown in Nigeria (including, more recently, due to oil price volatility), tensions between the

s economy;
●
civil strikes, acts of war, terrorism insurrection and incidents of general lawlessness;
●
labor unrest or unionization action, including in relation to the business of any third-party contractor or customer;
●
government interventions (including, without limitation, import-export quotas, wage and price controls, laws or regulations that restrict foreign investment or foreign ownership and the seizure, nationalization or expropriation of property or equipment);
●
potential adverse or unforeseen changes in laws and regulatory practices, including import and export license requirements and restrictions, tariffs, legal structures and tax and indigenous ownership laws;
●
equipment failure, grid unavailability, planned and unplanned outages, fires, natural catastrophes, accidents and infrastructure that lead to network failure;
●
trade barriers;
●
difficulties in staffing and managing operations;
●
lack of well-developed legal systems, which could make it difficult for us to enforce contractual rights and intellectual property;
●
inability to secure rights or access to the land necessary to execute customer orders for New Sites;
●
security and safety of employees;
●
risk of uncollectible accounts and long collection cycles;
●
adverse currency fluctuations, restrictive foreign exchange regulations and illiquidity in the foreign exchange markets, such as, the ongoing significant shortage of U.S. dollar liquidity in Nigeria and recent Naira devaluations;
●
consequences of poorly designed and executed government policies, corrupt practices (or alleged corrupt practices) on the economy in general or particular industries or companies, or of ineffective or insufficient corporate governance standards and practices;
●
inconsistent or unpredictable application of laws or regulations by governmental authorities, including financial regulators;

Investors should exercise particular care in evaluating the risks involved and must decide for themselves whether, in light of those risks, their investment is appropriate. Generally, investment in securities of issuers operating in emerging and less developed markets is only suitable for sophisticated investors who fully appreciate the significance of the risks involved and investors are urged to consult their own legal and financial advisors before making an investment in our ordinary shares. Investors should also note that emerging and less developed markets such as those in which we operate are subject to rapid change and that the information set forth in this Annual Report may become outdated relatively quickly.
Moreover, financial turmoil in any emerging market or less developed market or country tends to adversely affect prices in the financial markets of such markets, as investors move their money to more stable, developed markets. As has happened in the past, financial problems or an increase in the perceived risks associated with investing in other emerging economies could dampen foreign investment in the countries in which we operate and adversely affect the economies of such countries. In addition, during such times, companies that operate in emerging and less developed markets can face severe liquidity constraints as foreign funding sources, including availability of credit or debt financing, are withdrawn. Thus, even if the economies of the countries in which we operate remain relatively stable, financial turmoil in any emerging or less developed market or country could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Shortage of U.S. dollar, euro or other hard currency liquidity in the markets in which we operate may adversely affect our ability to service our foreign currency liabilities.
There may be shortages in the availability of, or disruptions or other limitations in the supply of, foreign currencies in the countries in which we operate, whether as a result of economic reasons, monetary controls or otherwise. See also "— Some of the markets in which we currently, or may in the future, operate are dependent on commodities, and are therefore impacted by global prices and/or demand for such products" and "— Financial authorities in the markets in which we operate may intervene in the currency markets by drawing on external reserves, and their currencies are subject to volatility." For example, there have historically been periods of significant shortage of U.S. dollar liquidity in Nigeria and the CBN imposed additional currency controls that restricted access to U.S. dollars in the official foreign exchange market. The reduced access to foreign exchange negatively impacted certain sectors of the Nigerian economy. However, since the introduction of the Investors and Exporters window in April 2017, which created a market-driven price for foreign-exchange trading in Nigeria, the foreign exchange market generally experienced greater levels of stability, however there have still been periods of significant U.S. dollar liquidity shortage from time to time, including since 2021. In addition, in Nigeria, we continue to access USD through various sources and at various rates (including from commercial banks and authorized dealers using the I&E window) and, in addition, at a premium to NAFEX through identified brokers. In this regard, we may suffer adverse economic consequences as a result of a divergence between the rates at which U.S. dollars are available in the market or as a result of the lack of availability or the shortage of U.S. dollars as stated above.
Should such controls and foreign currency liquidity shortages continue and/or occur in the markets in which we operate, we may face difficulties accessing foreign currency from foreign exchange markets or experience increased costs in sourcing foreign currency or otherwise which would impact our ability to obtain foreign currency required for some of our operations or to service some of our foreign currency obligations, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
We may make acquisitions in or investments into emerging and other less developed markets, and investments in emerging and less developed markets are subject to greater risks than developed markets and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
To the extent that we acquire assets or invest in other emerging and/or less developed markets, including in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America, additional risks may be encountered that could adversely affect our business. Such markets tend to have less developed economies and infrastructure and are often more vulnerable to economic and geopolitical challenges and may experience significant fluctuations in gross domestic product, interest rates and currency exchange rates, as well as civil disturbances, government instability, nationalization and expropriation of private assets and the imposition of taxes or other charges by government authorities. In addition, the currencies in which investments are
40
Table of Contents
denominated may be unstable, may be subject to significant depreciation and may not be freely convertible or may be subject to the imposition of other monetary or fiscal controls and restrictions.
Emerging and less developed markets are still in relatively early stages of their development and accordingly may not be highly or efficiently regulated, or the interpretation and enforcement of such regulations may be inconsistent or uncertain within the countries or jurisdictions in which we operate. Moreover, emerging and other less developed markets tend to be shallower and less liquid than more established markets which may adversely affect our ability to realize profits from our assets in these markets when we desire to do so or receive what we perceive to be their fair value in the event of a realization. In some cases, a market for realizing profits from an investment may not exist locally. In addition, companies based in emerging and other less developed markets are not generally subject to uniform accounting and financial reporting standards, practices and requirements comparable to those applicable to companies based in more developed countries, thereby potentially increasing the risk of fraud and other deceptive practices. Settlement of transactions may be subject to greater delay and administrative uncertainties than in developed markets and less complete and reliable financial and other information may be available to investors in emerging and other less developed markets than in developed markets. In addition, economic instability in such markets could adversely affect the value of our assets subject to leases in such countries, or the ability of our lessees or customers, which operate in these markets, to meet their contractual obligations. As a result, lessees or customers that operate in emerging and other less developed market countries may be more likely to default under their contractual obligations than those that operate in developed countries. Liquidity and volatility limitations in these markets may also adversely affect our ability to dispose of our assets at the best price available or in a timely manner.
As we have and may continue to invest in or acquire assets located in emerging and less developed markets throughout the world, we may be exposed to any one or a combination of these risks, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Failure to adequately address the significant infrastructure deficiencies in emerging and less developed markets could adversely affect their economies and growth prospects, and companies operating in emerging and less developed markets may face logistical and operational difficulties.
Decades of under-investment have resulted in significant deterioration of public infrastructure and the absence of, or persistent problems with, basic infrastructure to support and sustain growth and economic development in many emerging and less developed markets, including some of those in which we operate, or may operate. In addition to power generation, transmission and distribution deficiencies, emerging and less developed markets may also suffer from deteriorating road networks, congested ports and obsolete rail infrastructure, which have all severely constrained socioeconomic development, including restricting the movement of people and goods within those regions, thereby increasing the time it takes to mobilize workforces and deliver supplies or equipment. The power sectors of emerging and less developed markets may suffer from numerous problems, such as limited access to infrastructure, low connection rates, inadequate power generation capacity, lack of capital for investment, insufficient transmission and distribution facilities, high transmission and distribution losses and vandalism. Many businesses rely on alternative electricity and water supplies, adding to overall business costs. See "— Some of the markets in which we currently, or may in the future, operate may suffer from chronic electricity shortages."
Although significant advances have been made in the areas of communications facilities in recent years, the progress of development in these sectors cannot be considered at par with that in more developed economies. For example, the Nigerian government has identified the country's decaying infrastructure as a major impediment to economic growth and Nigeria's Economic Recovery and Growth Plan, or the ERGP, and various policies of the government on infrastructure and economic development include ambitious targets for infrastructure improvements and investments as part of the process of accelerating infrastructure development in the country.
Failure to significantly improve the infrastructure in such markets could adversely affect their economies and growth prospects, including their ability to meet GDP growth targets which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. The lack of reliable infrastructure also limits our ability, and that of our commercial partners, contractors, customers and suppliers, to respond quickly to unforeseen situations, which can lead to delays and production stoppages. We may also face operational and logistical challenges as a result of outbreaks of infectious diseases in the regions in which we operate. The occurrence of any of the above could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. Furthermore, certain areas/regions in which we operate periodically experience adverse weather conditions and natural disasters, mainly in the form of high winds, floods, erosion, and drought, which further limit the use of available infrastructure, particularly during the rainy season in such regions, when the likelihood of delays increases. See "— We are subject to the effects of climate

change." In addition, flooding in the regions in which we operate has also led to outbreaks of disease, which, coupled with the ongoing security concerns in these regions (see "— There are risks related to political instability, religious differences, ethnicity and regionalism in emerging and less developed markets"), may affect our ability to staff our operations with qualified local and overseas individuals should such individuals be deterred from relocating to these regions, as a result of health or security concerns.
Some of the markets in which we currently, or may in the future, operate may suffer from chronic electricity shortages.
Successfully managing communications towers in many of the types of markets in which we currently, or may in the future, operate (including emerging markets) is dependent on operational competency in power management, and unreliability of grid power presents significant challenges to managing our sites, uptimes and delivering quality service to customers.
For example, despite the abundant energy resources in Nigeria, significant government reform efforts, and investments in the power sector in recent years, lack of sufficient and reliable electricity supply remains a serious impediment to the country's economic growth and development. Insufficient power generation, aging infrastructure, weak distribution networks, overloaded transformers, and acts of sabotage to pipelines and infrastructure by vandals result in frequent power outages, high transmission and distribution losses and poor voltage output. Only 55.4% of Nigeria's total population has access to the grid electricity supply (according to World Bank data from 2020) due to insufficient generation capacity and inadequate transmission and distribution networks. In addition, Zambia experienced power outages that adversely impacted its economic growth between 2014 and 2016, in 2019, 2020 and in 2022.
Similarly, in South Africa the national electricity grid has been under significant pressure over the last decade to meet growing demand given insufficient generation capacity due to underinvestment in new generation and maintenance of facilities. This has resulted in periodic periods of load shedding, where planned supply interruptions take place and are rotated across South Africa to reduce pressure on the electricity grid. New initiatives have been implemented by the government, including allowing the private sector to build their own power plants with up to 100 megawatts of generating capacity without requiring a license, in a bid to address the nation's failing electricity supply. Load shedding has also increasingly been experienced in some of our other markets, such as Zambia and Cote d'Ivoire. Despite initiatives by governments to resolve or mitigate such issues and/or ongoing investment from governments into power generation and transmission, load shedding is expected to continue to occur in the future (including, potentially, in additional markets in which we may operate), and which in turn, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and/or prospects.
Despite the introduction of power sector reforms and recent incremental improvements in the sector in certain markets, failure to sustain and improve on these efforts in power generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure could lead to lower GDP growth and hamper the development of economies, as well as increase the underlying costs of operating in such markets, many of which may not be recoverable. Such challenges in grid connectivity and/or the consistent provision of power may also be caused by events outside the control of relevant authorities and/or providers, including as a result of the impact of climate-related events on power sources and/or distribution networks or infrastructure. Slow growth in the economies in which we operate may also lessen consumers' propensity to spend, which would negatively affect our customers. This, in turn, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and/or prospects.
Unlike communication towers businesses in developed markets such as the United States and the European Union, where the electricity grid is comparatively extremely reliable, successfully managing communications towers in many of the types of markets in which we currently, or may in the future, operate is dependent on operational competency in power management. Given the intermittent and unreliable grid availability in Nigeria, for example, grid electricity has been rarely used as a source of power for our Towers, with 35% of Towers operated only with generators and 54% operated with hybrid solutions, which alternate between diesel generators and / or solar or battery systems, as of December 31, 2022. In our other African markets grid availability can also be unreliable and, as of December 31, 2022, 12% of Towers (excluding South Africa) were powered only by the grid, with the remainder having either generator or hybrid power systems. The unreliability of the grid power presents significant challenges to managing our tower sites and power uptimes and delivering quality service to customers. Any inability to continue to deliver quality service could harm our relationships with our customers, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.

Some of the markets in which we currently, or may in the future, operate are dependent on commodities, and are therefore impacted by global prices and/or demand for such products.
The economies of some of the markets in which we operate may be highly dependent on commodities, such as oil or copper, and therefore on global prices and demand which impact these markets. Reductions in revenue from such commodities could adversely affect the economies of the markets in which we operate. For example, the Nigerian economy is highly dependent on oil production in Nigeria and global prices of oil. According to the Nigerian National Bureau of Statistics, in 2022, the oil sector represented 5.7% of total real GDP, a decrease from the 7.2% and 8.2% recorded in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Reductions in oil revenue, particularly in light of measures related to global health events or outbreaks (such as COVID-19), or geopolitical tensions (such as the recent Russia-Ukraine situation), could have a material adverse effect on the economies of certain markets in which we operate and in turn on our and our customers' business and our results of operations. Additionally, between 2014 and 2016, a fall in copper prices adversely affected Zambia's economy, along with increased tensions with mining companies due to related tax increases.
Revenue from commodities is a function of the level of the relevant commodity's production in the relevant country and prevailing world commodity prices and demand. Commodity prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of, and demand for, such commodity, market uncertainty, and a variety of additional factors that are beyond the control of the relevant country. These factors include, but are not limited to, political conditions in other relevant regions, internal and political decisions of any regional or international bodies or organizations relating to such commodities, such as OPEC, and other nations producing the relevant commodity as to whether to decrease or increase production, domestic and foreign supplies of the commodity, consumer demand, such as the fall in demand resulting from the global response measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 (or any future coronavirus or other outbreaks or events with a wide-ranging regional or global impact), weather conditions, domestic and foreign government regulations, transport costs, the price and availability of alternatives and overall economic conditions.
Declines in commodity prices and/or revenue on which certain of the economies in which we operate rely have had and will continue to have an impact on such economies, and may result in lower economic growth, high rates of unemployment, reduction in foreign exchange and government revenue. For example, the Nigerian government and certain other governments, such as in oil-producing countries in the Middle East, rely heavily on oil revenue to fund their budgets, and the decline in prices immediately following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 resulted in significantly decreased revenue. A reduction in commodity prices, such as a drop in oil prices, would likely negatively impact export earnings in the relevant country, government revenue, and national disposable income, and lead to budgetary constraints and reduced investment in key projects such as infrastructure. Further, any foreign exchange controls imposed in the jurisdictions in which we operate, whether as a result of reduced foreign exchange revenue from such commodities or related products or otherwise, may lead to a devaluation of our revenue which is received in local currencies and also affect our ability to obtain foreign currency required for some of our operations or to service some of our foreign currency obligations. See "— Financial authorities in the markets in which we operate may intervene in the currency markets by drawing on external reserves, and their currencies are subject to volatility" and "— Shortage of U.S. dollar, euro or other hard currency liquidity in the markets in which we operate may adversely affect our ability to service our foreign currency liabilities."
Commodity production in the relevant economies may also fluctuate significantly as a result of a decline in global prices, which may affect the economic viability of certain producing assets, and the activities of vandals (such as in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, in relation to the oil industry) may lead to significant disruptions in the production of commodities on which such economies or businesses there rely upon. For example, the level of oil production and oil revenue in Nigeria and certain other oil producing countries in the Middle East may also be adversely affected by other factors, including changes in oil production quotas by OPEC, the response of international oil companies to changes in the regulatory framework for oil production in the relevant country or region, and theft of crude oil from pipelines and tank farms. Any long-term shift away from certain commodities (such as fossil fuels), including from developed economies seeking to develop alternative sources of energy, could adversely affect commodity prices and demand and the resulting commodity-related revenue of economies in which we operate. Damage to such economies as a result of such downturns may harm our customers and increase costs (such as fuel costs), which may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
High inflation could have a material adverse effect on the economies in which we operate.
The markets in which we operate are exposed to the risk of high inflation. For example, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, Nigeria's inflation rate stood at 18.9% and 17.0%, respectively, according to the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, South Africa's inflation rate was 6.9% and 4.5%, respectively. For
43
Table of Contents
the years ended December 31 2022 and 2021, Zambia's inflation rate was 11.1% and 22.0%, respectively. Changes in monetary and/or fiscal policy in the countries in which we operate may result in higher rates of inflation, which could consequently increase our operating costs. There can be no assurance that inflation rates will not rise in the future. While we have contractual inflation-linked escalation provisions under most of our MLAs, there can be no guarantee that the rates of escalation of lease fees will mitigate future inflation, particularly where our MLAs may include fixed, capped or floored escalators.
Brazil has also experienced high rates of inflation.  For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, Brazil's inflation rate was 9.3% and 8.3%, respectively. The Brazilian government's actions to control inflation and other policies and regulations have often involved, among other measures, increases or decreases in interest rates, changes in fiscal policies, wage and price controls, foreign exchange rate controls, blocking access to bank accounts, currency devaluations, capital controls and import and export restrictions. Inflation, policies adopted to curb inflationary pressures and uncertainties regarding possible future governmental intervention have contributed to economic uncertainty and heightened volatility in the Brazilian economy.
Significant inflation and measures taken to control inflation could have a material adverse effect on the economies of the countries in which we operate and, as a result, on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Financial authorities in the markets in which we operate may intervene in the currency markets by drawing on external reserves, and their currencies are subject to volatility.
Central banking authorities in the countries in which we operate may intervene in the currency markets by drawing on external reserves (such as, most recently, in Nigeria, where a significant portion of our operations are based) or adopting policies that may impact the applicable exchange rates and/or amounts of foreign currency that may be obtained. Fluctuations in an economy's external reserves, its high dependence on certain foreign-currency revenue streams (such as those related to commodities such as oil, or other exports) and high levels of key imports in foreign currency, could result in local currencies remaining or becoming vulnerable to external shocks.
For example, the CBN has historically favored maintaining the Naira within a narrow band with periodic adjustments. The gross external reserves have fluctuated in recent years, dropping significantly from a high of $44.2 billion at the end of 2012, to a low of $25.8 billion at the end of 2016, before gradually recovering. As of December 31, 2022, gross external reserves were recorded at $37.1 billion. Given the fluctuations in Nigeria's external reserves, its high dependence on oil exports and the fact that Nigeria pays for its key imports, such as refined oil, in U.S. dollars, the Naira will remain vulnerable to external shocks that could lead to a sharp decline in its values, as had occurred historically.
In addition, the currencies of the countries in which we operate are subject to volatility. The functional currency of our operating subsidiaries are the Nigerian Naira (₦), West African CFA Franc (XOF), Central African CFA Franc (XAF), Zambian Kwacha (ZMW), Rwandan Franc (RWF), the South African Rand (ZAR), Brazilian Real (BRL), Colombian Peso (COP), Peruvian Sol (PEN) and Kuwaiti Dinar (KD). The operating subsidiaries' financial results are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. Accordingly, we are subject to fluctuations in the rates of currency exchange. In particular, the Naira has depreciated significantly against the U.S. dollar, due to declining oil prices, depletion of external reserves, and the absence of fiscal buffers. In early 2015, the CBN instituted certain currency control policies and pegged the Naira at ₦197 to the U.S. dollar, which increased to approximately ₦305 in 2016, approximately ₦435 as of December 31, 2021 and ₦461.50 as of December 31, 2022. Similarly, the Zambian Kwacha to U.S. dollar exchange rate increased from ZMW9.99 as of December 31, 2017 to ZMW18.07 as of December 31, 2022 and the Brazilian Real to U.S. dollar exchange rate increased from BRL4.03 as of December 31, 2019 to BRL5.22 as of December 31, 2022. The South African Rand to U.S. dollar exchange rate increased from ZAR15.94 as of December 31, 2021 to ZAR16.98 as of December 31, 2022.
Central banks or monetary authorities in economies where the local currency is subject to such pressures may take various administrative measures aimed at stabilizing the foreign exchange market, including restricting access to the official foreign exchange market or prohibiting the use of foreign currencies in domestic transactions or by other means.
The depreciation or volatility of local currencies of the countries in which we operate may negatively affect their respective economies, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our and our customers' business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations as well as our liquidity and cash flows. See "Risks Relating to Our Business — We and our customers face foreign exchange risks, which may be material."

Failure to adequately address actual and perceived risks of corruption may adversely affect the economies of the countries in which we operate, or may operate, and their ability to attract foreign investment.
Corruption is a significant issue in many of the markets in which we operate, as in many other emerging and less developed markets. For example, Nigeria, Cameroon and Egypt placed 150, 142 and 130, respectively, out of 180 countries in Transparency International's 2022 Corruption Perceptions Index. Despite certain reform efforts, however, corruption continues to be a serious problem impacting some of the countries in which we operate, as reflected by several high-profile convictions. Brazil has also experienced recent political instability, including various investigations into allegations of money laundering and corruption being conducted by the Office of the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor, which have negatively impacted the Brazilian economy and political environment. In addition, in February 2023 both South Africa and Nigeria were added by the Financial Action Task Force's ("FATF") to the "grey list" of countries that need to do more to improve their ability to fight financial crime.  The addition to the "grey list" will likely increase the cost of doing business in South Africa and Nigeria, as there is additional scrutiny on transactions by international counterparties in grey list countries.
Corruption has many implications for a country, including difficulty in collecting revenue and controlling expenditure, increasing the risk of political instability, distorting decision-making processes and adversely affecting its international reputation. Failure to address these issues, continued corruption in the public sector and any future allegations of, or perceived risk of, corruption in the markets in which we operate could have adverse effects on their respective economies and may have a negative effect on the ability of these countries to attract foreign investment and, as a result, may have a material adverse effect on our and our customers' business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
​
The policies and reforms of the political administrations in the countries in which we operate may result in political instability or changes in regulatory or other government policies.
Many emerging and less developed markets, including those in which we operate or may operate, face periods of political and economic uncertainty, particularly around the times leading up to elections and/or other political change, including uncertainty as to the manner in which the relevant governing authorities would seek to address the issues facing the relevant country and whether they would alter or reverse certain reforms and actions taken by predecessors or even by incumbents seeking to garner increased favor. Such issues may give rise to uncertainty in the investing community and are likely to reduce inbound investment.
Frequent and intense periods of political instability make it difficult to predict future trends in governmental policies. For example, the Arab Spring of 2010 and 2011 caused substantial political turmoil across the Middle East and North Africa, particularly in Egypt. During this period of instability in Egypt, the government temporarily dissolved the parliament, suspended the constitution and shut down the internet. Any similar shut-down in the countries in which we operate in the future will negatively affect our business and results of operations. In addition, if government or regulatory policies in a market in which we operate were to change or become less business-friendly, our business could be materially adversely affected. Recent economic instability in Brazil also has contributed to a decline in market confidence in the Brazilian economy as well as to a deteriorating political environment. The Brazilian government also frequently intervenes in the Brazilian economy and occasionally makes significant changes in policy and regulations. For instance, the Brazilian government's actions to control inflation and implement macroeconomic policies have often involved increases in interest rates, wage and price controls, currency devaluations, blocking access to bank accounts, imposing capital controls and limits on imports, among other things. In addition, various ongoing investigations into allegations of money laundering and corruption being conducted by the Office of the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor, have negatively impacted the Brazilian economy and political environment and have adversely impacted the image and reputation of those companies that have been implicated. We do not have any control over, and are unable to predict, which measures or policies the Brazilian government may adopt in the future.
Moreover, some planned reforms may disadvantage certain existing stakeholders, who may seek to curtail such reforms. For example, planned privatization of state-owned enterprises has in some cases been met with strikes or threats of strikes in anticipation of job losses and price increases. Any significant changes in the political climate in the countries in which we operate, including changes affecting the stability of the government or involving a rejection, reversal or significant modification of policies against nationalization or expropriation of privately owned assets, favoring the privatization of state-owned enterprises, reforms in the telecommunications, power, banking and oil and gas sectors or other reforms, may have negative effects on the economy, government revenue or foreign reserves and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.

There are risks related to political instability, religious differences, ethnicity and regionalism in emerging and less developed markets.
Our operations are exposed to the political and social environment of the emerging and less developed markets in which we operate (or may in the future operate), which have the potential for civil and political unrest, contributing to an uncertain operating environment. For example, in Nigeria, corruption, policy uncertainty and collapsing infrastructure, as well as terrorist acts by Boko Haram and increased insecurity in different parts of the country, present significant risks to business operations in parts of Nigeria. Terrorism and militant activity are a problem in parts of Nigeria, where a range of terrorist and militant groups with differing goals operate. The Boko Haram sect, a terrorist group based primarily in north-eastern Nigeria, initially became active in 2009 and increasingly received international attention for the number and frequency of attacks against the Nigerian people and villages. These attacks led to the deployment of troops to Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states. Despite progress made in combatting the group, Boko Haram continued to mount attacks throughout 2021 and 2022, particularly in the Lake Chad region. In addition to the instability caused by Boko Haram, the Niger Delta region of Nigeria continues to experience militant activity, creating a challenging environment for companies operating in that region. Cameroon has also recently faced similar issues, including with terrorism as well as increasing instances of unrest as a result of the tensions between the "Anglophone" and "Francophone" regions of Cameroon. Such instability has in the past resulted in, and may continue to result in, vandalism of our sites, obstruction or inability to access our Towers and increased security threats to our sites, as well as corresponding lost revenue or increased maintenance and security costs, as well as increased capital expenditures.
Instances of terrorist activities or other political and/or social unrest as well as general lawlessness can create a challenging environment for companies operating in the relevant regions. While such activity may be targeted within certain regions or at certain types of industry (such as oil and gas companies), the security situation in such regions can be volatile and may also have an impact on our operations, such as attacks on sites by militant or other groups in order to disrupt communications, and can generally create instability, impacting the relevant regions and economies.
Unless resolved by the government, such conflicts may adversely affect the political and economic stability of the markets in which we operate (or may in the future operate), which may, in turn, further have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
The taxation, customs and regulatory systems in emerging and less developed markets may be subject to changes and inconsistencies.
The government policies and regulations of emerging and less developed market economies, such as those in which we operate or may operate, on taxation, customs and excise duties and other regulatory matters may change from time to time as considered necessary for the development of the economy. In addition, taxes, customs and excise duties and other fees and fines may increasingly be viewed as major sources of revenue, particularly where other previously prominent sources of revenue (such as those derived from commodities) may have reduced. This may result in the introduction of new taxes, levies or fees where none previously existed (or were not imposed). For example, in Nigeria, the Finance Acts of 2019 and 2020 signed into law in 2020, introduced changes to the existing tax regime maintained pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Income Tax Act, the Personal Income Tax Act, the Stamp Duties Act, the Capital Gains Tax Act, and the Customs and the Excise Tariff, etc (Consolidated) Act, among other related legislation. The Finance Act 2020 expanded the definition of significant economic presence to capture non-resident entities deriving economic benefits from Nigeria through digital services that do not require physical presence within the country. Given a potential need to generate revenue from sources other than exports, other foreign governments may take measures to enforce tax compliance, including taking interim measures for alleged tax default, or to impose fees with respect to our operations, even where not permitted by applicable law. While such measures are often successfully challenged, if they are taken in relation to us, this may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or liquidity. Further, the interpretation by the relevant tax or other regulatory authorities of, or decision with respect to, certain sections of tax or other laws may differ on a case-by-case basis, including potentially, against sectors or companies such as ours in the event of a perceived increase in profile or growth. Changes in government policies on taxation, customs and excise duties or other regulations, as well as inconsistencies or uncertainties in the interpretation of and decisions relating to tax laws, may have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and liquidity, as well as our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations, and on the tax liability of holders of our ordinary shares.

Inefficiencies and corruption in the judicial systems may create an uncertain environment for investment and business activity and affect the ability of investors to find remedies through the relevant jurisdictions' judicial systems.
The legal systems in certain emerging and less developed markets, such as the ones in which we operate and may in the future operate, are still in their growing phase, and the laws and regulations in such jurisdictions continue to undergo development and face a number of challenges, including corruption and delays in the judicial process since most cases take a considerable period of time to be concluded. Similarly, the enforcement of judgments and/or security in such jurisdictions may be affected by inefficiencies in the judicial system and can result in uncertain positions.
As a result, effective legal redress may be difficult to obtain and there is a high degree of uncertainty due to the discretion of governmental authorities, lack of judicial or administrative guidance on interpreting applicable rules and regulations, inconsistencies or conflicts between and within various laws, regulations, decrees, orders and resolutions and relative inexperience of the judiciary and courts in commercial matters. Slow and uncertain judicial process may sometimes affect the enforceability of judgments obtained, or result in judgments or extra-judicial action that may be inconsistent with the expected or applicable legal process, rules or procedures.
Those and other factors that have an impact on the legal systems of the markets in which we operate make an investment in our ordinary shares subject to greater risks and uncertainties than an investment in a country with a more mature legal system.
Risks Relating to our Indebtedness
Our level of indebtedness and the terms of our indebtedness could materially adversely affect our business and liquidity position.
As of December 31, 2022, we had $3,344 million of total borrowings, excluding lease liabilities. We currently use debt financing and plan to continue to use debt financing for our future operations and projects. The terms of the agreements governing our indebtedness limit the circumstances in which we may incur additional indebtedness. However, our indebtedness may increase from time to time in the future for various reasons, including fluctuations in operating results, capital expenditures and potential acquisitions or joint ventures or other investments. As a result, the risks normally associated with debt financing may materially adversely affect our cash flows and liquidity as well as our business, prospects, financial position and/or operating results including because:
●
our level of indebtedness may, together with the financial and other restrictive covenants in the agreements governing our indebtedness, significantly limit or impair our ability in the future to obtain financing, refinance any of our indebtedness, sell assets or raise capital on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could cause us to default on our obligations and materially impair our liquidity;
●
a downgrade in our credit rating (including because of a downgrade in the sovereign credit ratings for the countries in which we have material operations) could restrict or impede our ability to access the capital markets at attractive rates and increase our borrowing costs;
●
our level of indebtedness may increase the difficulty for us to repay our debt, including our ability to pay interest when due and/or the principal amounts due under such indebtedness;
●
our level of indebtedness may reduce our flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions or to take advantage of business opportunities that may arise;
●
a portion of our cash flow from operations must be dedicated to interest payments on our indebtedness and is not available for other purposes, which amount would increase if prevailing interest rates rise;
●
our level of indebtedness may place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to competitors that have lower leverage or greater financial resources than we have and restrict us from pursuing our strategy (including acquisitions) or exploiting certain business opportunities; and
●
our level of indebtedness could make us more vulnerable to downturns in general economic or industry conditions or in our business.
47
Table of Contents
In addition, market conditions and monetary restrictions may lead to foreign currency liquidity shortages and we may face difficulties in obtaining sufficient quantities of the relevant foreign currency when required to meet our contractual and indebtedness obligations denominated in U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies. See "— Risks Relating to the Markets in which We Operate — Financial authorities in the markets in which we operate may intervene in the currency markets, and their currencies are subject to volatility" and "— Risks Relating to the Markets in which We Operate — Shortage of U.S. dollar, euro or other hard currency liquidity in the markets in which we operate may adversely affect our ability to service our foreign currency liabilities." Such shortages or lack of availability could increase our borrowing costs and interest expenses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations as well as cash flows and liquidity. Such issues or increases could also have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and our ability to service our debt or meet interest payments in the longer term. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict our ability to satisfy our foreign currency-denominated obligations. Although we may seek to enter into agreements to reduce our risk related to access to foreign currencies and applicable exchange rates, we are under no obligation to do so and we cannot assure you that such arrangements would ensure our access to foreign currencies which we need on commercially acceptable terms or at all, or that we will be able to enter into such arrangements on commercially acceptable terms or at all. Similarly, certain jurisdictions may also experience liquidity shortages or reductions in the capital available to lend in the market (including, but not limited to, as a result of increased regulatory requirements by central banks), which may prevent us from refinancing indebtedness denominated in such local currency on acceptable terms or at all. See Item 5.B. "Liquidity and Capital Resources."
We are a holding company and conduct limited operations of our own. Repayment of indebtedness, including under the IHS Holding RCF, the IHS Holding 2022 Term Loan and the Notes, is dependent on the ability of our operating companies to make cash available to us. See "— IHS Holding Limited is a holding company with no operations of its own and, as such, it depends on its subsidiaries for cash to fund its operations and expenses, including future dividend payments, if any."
In addition, our ability to draw funds from our existing and future local facilities or to refinance our existing local facilities may be materially adversely affected by the relatively high or increasing levels of non-performing loans in the relevant local banking sector. Local banks with a lack of geographic diversification or that have substantial exposure to certain industries which are not performing as well, may see the overall quality of their loan portfolio deteriorate or their provisioning costs increase, which may also impact their net interest income and margins. Any regional or local economic downturn that affects the local banking sector may in turn impact our ability to draw funds from any current and future undrawn local facilities or to refinance existing local facilities and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing, including the possible reluctance of creditors to make commercial loans or to invest in operations in developing markets, including as a result of market and economic conditions,  could also result in higher interest rates, and the increased interest expense could, in the longer term, have a materially adverse effect on our ability to service our debt and to complete our capital expenditure plans, and our financial condition and results of operations could deteriorate as a result.
We are subject to restrictive debt covenants and our failure to comply with these covenants, including as a result of events beyond our control, could result in an event of default that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and/or results of operations.
We are party to credit agreements that govern the IHS Holding RCF and the IHS Holding 2022 Term Loan, indentures that govern the Notes and credit agreements governing our facilities at our operating subsidiaries, and may provide guarantees under credit agreements governing our facilities at our operating subsidiaries, and therefore are subject to the restrictive covenants under those agreements. A breach of any covenants, ratios, tests or restrictions in those instruments and agreements, including as a result of events beyond our control, could result in an event of default (which may also trigger cross-default or cross-acceleration clauses in other agreements or financings) that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and/or results of operations. The instruments governing our indebtedness contain a number of restrictive covenants, including restrictions on our ability to, among other things:
●
incur or guarantee additional debt or issue preferred stock;
●
pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase share capital, or make other distributions;
●
purchase equity interests or reimburse or prepay subordinated debt prior to maturity;
●
create or incur liens;
48
Table of Contents
●
make certain investments;
●
agree to limitations on the ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions;
●
engage in sales of assets and subsidiary stock;
●
enter into transactions with affiliates;
●
guarantee other debt; and
●
transfer all or substantially all of our assets or enter into merger or consolidation transactions.
The restrictions contained in our debt instruments could affect our ability to operate our business and may limit our ability to react to market conditions or take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise. For example, these restrictions could have a material adverse effect on our ability to finance our operations, make strategic acquisitions, investments or alliances, restructure our organization, or finance our capital needs. Additionally, our ability to comply with these covenants and restrictions may be affected by events beyond our control. Should market conditions deteriorate or fail to improve, or our operating results decrease in the future, then we may have to request amendments and/or waivers to the covenants and restrictions to which we are subject. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such relief should it be needed in the future. A breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could result in a default and acceleration that would permit our creditors to declare all amounts incurred to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest, and the commitments of the relevant creditors to make further extensions of credit could be terminated. Such actions may also trigger cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions in other facilities or agreements, which could multiply and extend the impact of any particular event or series of events across our Group.
If we breach certain of our debt covenants, creditors could declare a default and/or require us to pay the then outstanding debt immediately, and, in the case of any secured debt, creditors could sell the property securing such debt if we are unable to pay the outstanding debt immediately. If an event of default is called or if we default on the payments required by our existing indebtedness, we could trigger cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions under other debt agreements or instruments that could make such indebtedness payable on demand, and we may not have sufficient funds to repay all of our debts. The breach of covenants and the exercise by the relevant creditors of their rights under the various financing agreements could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
We are exposed to interest rate risks as certain of our borrowings bear interest at floating rates that could rise significantly, increasing our interest cost and reducing cash flow.
Outstanding balances and advances under certain of our existing credit facilities bear interest at rates which vary depending on certain underlying or reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Term SOFR, the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, the European interbank offered rate, or EURIBOR, the Nigerian Monetary Policy Rate, or MPR, the Kuwait Interbank Offered Rate, or KIBOR, the Johannesburg Interbank Average Rate, or JIBAR, or the Brazilian interbank deposit rate, or CDI. Increases in such reference rates increase our interest expense, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. Such increases in interest rates could also have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and our ability to service our debt in the longer term. In addition, we may procure additional indebtedness at floating rates in the future.
Some currencies and tenors of LIBOR were discontinued on December 31, 2021, while all remaining tenors are expected to be discontinued on June 30, 2023. In anticipation of the discontinuation of the publication of LIBOR, we are actively transitioning to using alternative interest rate benchmarks of SOFR and CME Term SOFR, as an alternative to US Dollar LIBOR in certain of our indebtedness that bear interest at variable interest rates.
​
Such transition from LIBOR and other interest rate benchmarks to alternative reference rates is complex and entails uncertainty.  This transition process may involve, among other things, changes in the accounting and regulatory treatment of reference interest rates, increased volatility and illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR and may result in increased borrowing costs, uncertainty under our financing facilities, or difficult and costly processes to amend our financing agreements. As such, the effect of LIBOR discontinuation on our cost of capital, financial results, cash flows and/or results of operations remains uncertain.
​

Table of Contents
The applicable interest rates (including alternative interest rates) could rise significantly in the future, thereby increasing our interest expenses associated with these obligations, reducing cash flow available for capital expenditures and hindering our ability to make payments on our indebtedness. Although we may hedge the interest rates with respect to certain of our existing credit facilities, we are under no obligation to do so under the documents governing our indebtedness, and we may not be able to obtain such hedges, or replace such hedges on terms that are acceptable to us, and any such hedges may not be fully effective, which would expose us to interest rate risk.
We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.
Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our debt obligations and to fund planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements depends on our future performance and ability to generate cash, which is subject, among other things, to the success of our business strategy, prevailing economic conditions and financial, competitive, legislative, legal, regulatory and other factors, including those other factors discussed in these "Risk Factors," many of which are beyond our control.
We can make no assurances that we will be able to generate a level of cash flow from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our other indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. If we default on the payments required by any indebtedness, that indebtedness, together with debt incurred pursuant to debt agreements or instruments that contain cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions may become payable on demand, and we may not have sufficient funds to repay all of our debts.
Furthermore, if our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to service our debt obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, any of which will depend on our cash needs, our financial condition at such time, the then prevailing market conditions and the terms of our then existing debt instruments, which may restrict us from adopting some of these alternatives. Any failure to make payments of interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness on a timely basis would likely result in a reduction of our credit rating, which could also harm our ability to incur additional indebtedness. In addition, any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations, and there can be no assurances that any assets which we could be required to dispose of could be sold or that, if sold, the timing of the sales and the amount of proceeds realized from those sales could be on acceptable terms.
In addition, we maintain the majority of our cash and cash equivalents in accounts with major financial institutions, and our deposits at these institutions may exceed insured limits.  Market conditions can impact the viability of these institutions.  In the event of failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that we would be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all.  Any inability to access or delay in accessing these funds could adversely affect our business and financial position.
Risks Relating to Ownership of our Ordinary Shares
We are a foreign private issuer and, as a result, we are not subject to U.S. proxy rules and are not subject to Exchange Act reporting obligations that, to some extent, are more lenient and less frequent than those of a U.S. domestic public company.
We report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Because we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including (i) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act, (ii) the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time and (iii) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of current reports on Form 8-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, although we provide and intend to continue to provide comparable quarterly information on Form 6-K. In addition, foreign private issuers are not required to file their annual report on Form 20-F until 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, while U.S. domestic issuers that are large accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 60 days after the end of each fiscal year. Foreign private issuers are also exempt from Regulation FD, which is intended to prevent issuers from making selective disclosures of material information. As a result of all of the above, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of a company that is not a foreign private issuer.

Table of Contents
We may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses.
As discussed above, we are a foreign private issuer, and therefore, we are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer's most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and, accordingly, the next determination will be made with respect to us on June 30, 2023. In the future, we would lose our foreign private issuer status if (i) more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are owned by U.S. residents and (ii) a majority of our directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens or residents, or we fail to meet additional requirements necessary to avoid loss of foreign private issuer status. If we lose our foreign private issuer status, we will be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. We will also have to mandatorily comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders will become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will lose our ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements under the listing rules of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). As a U.S. listed public company that is not a foreign private issuer, we will incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we will not incur as a foreign private issuer, and accounting, reporting and other expenses in order to maintain a listing on a U.S. securities exchange. These expenses will relate to, among other things, the obligation to present our financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP in the future.
As we are a "foreign private issuer" and intend to follow certain home country corporate governance practices, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all NYSE corporate governance requirements.
As a foreign private issuer, we have the option to follow certain home country corporate governance practices rather than those of the NYSE, provided that we disclose the requirements we are not following and describe the home country practices we are following. We intend to rely on this "foreign private issuer exemption" with respect to the NYSE rules for shareholder meeting quorums and record dates and the NYSE rules requiring shareholders to approve equity compensation plans and material revisions thereto, neither of which is required under the Cayman Islands law. We may in the future elect to follow home country practices with regard to other matters, including the requirement that listed companies have a majority of independent directors unless the company is a "controlled company" and the requirement that listed companies have a compensation and nominating and corporate governance committee comprised entirely of independent directors. As a result, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all NYSE corporate governance requirements.
We cannot assure you that a market for our ordinary shares will be sustained to provide adequate liquidity, and public trading markets may experience volatility. Investors may not be able to resell their ordinary shares at or above the price they pay.
We cannot assure you that an active trading market for our ordinary shares will be sustained. If a market is not sustained, it may be difficult for you to sell your ordinary shares. Public trading markets may also experience volatility and disruption. This may affect the pricing of the ordinary shares in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the ordinary shares and the extent of regulation applicable to us. We cannot predict the prices at which our ordinary shares will trade. It is possible that, in future quarters, our operating results may be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. As a result of these and other factors, the price of our ordinary shares may decline, possibly materially.
Our operating results and ordinary share price may be volatile, and the market price of our ordinary shares may drop below the price you pay.
Our quarterly operating results are likely to fluctuate in the future in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including each of the factors set forth above.
In addition, securities markets worldwide have experienced, and are likely to continue to experience, significant price and volume fluctuations. This market volatility, as well as general economic, market or political conditions, could subject the market price of our ordinary shares to wide price fluctuations regardless of our operating performance. Our operating results and the trading price of our ordinary shares may fluctuate in response to various factors, including the risks described above.
51
Table of Contents
These and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause our operating results and the market price and demand for our ordinary shares to fluctuate substantially.
Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results could limit or prevent investors from readily selling their ordinary shares and may otherwise negatively affect the market price and liquidity of ordinary shares. In addition, in the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the shares. If any of our shareholders brought a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management from our business, which could significantly harm our profitability and reputation.
A significant portion of our total issued and outstanding ordinary shares are eligible to be sold into the market, which could cause the market price of our ordinary shares to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of ordinary shares intend to sell, could reduce the market price of our ordinary shares. As of December 31, 2022, we had 331,920,002 ordinary shares outstanding. All of our ordinary shares are freely tradable under the Securities Act without restriction, except for any of our ordinary shares that may be held or acquired by our directors, executive officers and other affiliates, as that term is defined in the Securities Act, which will be restricted securities under the Securities Act. Restricted securities may not be sold in the public market unless the sale is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available.
Our Shareholders' Agreement also sets out certain contractual restrictions on our shareholders' ability to sell or otherwise transfer their respective shares, which restrictions our board of directors may waive in its discretion pursuant to the terms of the Shareholders Agreement. We also entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which we agreed under certain circumstances to file a registration statement to register the resale of the ordinary shares held by certain of our existing shareholders, as well as to cooperate in certain public offerings of such ordinary shares and to reimburse such shareholders for certain expenses incurred in connection therewith. See Item 7.B. "Related Party Transactions."
In the future, we may also issue additional securities if we need to raise capital or make acquisitions, which could constitute a material portion of our then-issued and outstanding ordinary shares and would result in the dilution of our existing shareholders, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operation.
We continue to incur increased costs and have additional obligations as a result of operating as a public company, and our management is required to devote substantially more time to new compliance initiatives and corporate governance practices.
As a public company, we continue to incur significantly more legal, accounting and other expenses than we did as a private company, and have additional obligations such as regulatory financial reporting requirements. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of the NYSE and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies, including establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations continue to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors. We may also face challenges in complying with our increased obligations in the required or expected timeframes.
We continue to evaluate these rules and regulations, and cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. These rules and regulations are often subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices.
To establish (and ultimately, maintain) the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting, we expect that we will need to continue enhancing existing, and implement new, financial reporting and management systems, procedures and controls to manage our business effectively and support our growth in the future. The process of evaluating our internal control over financial reporting requires an investment of substantial time and
52
Table of Contents
resources, including by our Chief Financial Officer and other members of our senior management. As a result, this process may divert internal resources and take a significant amount of time and effort to complete.
The restatement of our consolidated financial statements could subject us to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, including regulatory, shareholder or other actions, and loss of investor confidence.
​
We restated our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2021 originally included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended March 31, 2022, respectively, due to an error that occurred in the provisional business combination accounting for our November 2021 acquisition of a 51% controlling interest in I-Systems Soluções de Infraestrutura S.A. (formerly known as Fiberco Soluções de Infraestrutura S.A.) ("I-Systems"). These errors resulted in an overstatement of goodwill, and understatements of non-controlling interest and other reserves that were required to the financial statements for the periods in question.
​
The review of the error and the preparation of our restated financial statements caused us to incur substantial expenses for legal, accounting, and other professional services and diverted our management's attention from our business, and the impact of such errors or any future errors that result in a restatement could require additional resources. In addition, as a result of the restatements, investors may lose confidence in our operating results, and we may be subject to shareholder or other litigation or regulatory enforcement actions in connection with the restatement.
​
Inaccurate assumptions in respect of critical accounting judgments could materially adversely affect financial results.
In the course of preparing financial statements our management necessarily makes judgments and estimates that can have a significant impact on our financial statements. The most critical of these relate to impairment of assets, fair value of embedded derivatives and options, contingent liabilities, revenue recognition and certain regulatory accruals. The use of inaccurate assumptions in calculations for any of these estimates could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. Our operating results may be adversely affected if the assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in the assumptions, which could cause our operating results to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the price of our ordinary shares.
Because we have no current plans to pay regular cash dividends on our ordinary shares, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your ordinary shares for a price greater than that which you paid for it.
We do not currently anticipate paying any regular cash dividends on our ordinary shares. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is, and may be, limited by covenants of existing and any future outstanding indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur. Therefore, any return on investment in our ordinary shares is solely dependent upon the appreciation of the price of our ordinary shares on the open market, which may not occur, which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. See Item 8.A. "Financial Information—Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Dividend Policy" for more detail.
Our shareholders may face difficulties in protecting their interests because we are a Cayman Islands exempted company.
Our corporate affairs are governed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (our "Articles"), the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors and us, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under the laws of the Cayman Islands are not as clearly defined as under statutes or judicial precedent in existence in jurisdictions in the United States. Therefore, you may have more difficulty protecting your interests than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States, due to the comparatively less well-developed Cayman Islands law in this area.

A merger or consolidation may proceed under Cayman Islands law in one of two ways: by a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement or by a statutory merger. While Cayman Islands law allows a shareholder objecting to a court sanctioned scheme of arrangement to express a view that such scheme of arrangement would not provide fair value for the shareholder's shares, Cayman Islands statutory and common law in respect of schemes of arrangement does not specifically provide for shareholder appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation effected by a scheme of arrangement of a company that has otherwise received the prescribed shareholder approval. This may make it more difficult for you to assess the value of any consideration you may receive in a merger or consolidation effected by a scheme of arrangement or to require that the acquirer gives you additional consideration if you believe the consideration offered is insufficient. However, in the event of a merger or consolidation under the statutory merger regime, Cayman Islands law does provide a mechanism for a dissenting shareholder to require us to apply to the Grand Court for a determination of the fair value of the dissenter's shares if it is not possible for the company and the dissenter to agree on a fair price within the time limits prescribed.
Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies such as ours, have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records and accounts or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders. Our directors have discretion under our Articles to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.
It should be noted that the Cayman Islands law has no legislation specifically dedicated to the rights of investors in securities, and thus no statutorily defined private causes of action to investors in securities such as those found under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act in the United States. Subject to limited exceptions, under Cayman Islands law, a shareholder may not bring a derivative action against the board of directors. Class actions are not recognized in the Cayman Islands, but groups of shareholders with identical interests may bring representative proceedings, which are similar.
As a result of all of the above, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by our management or members of the board of directors than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States.
Our Articles provide, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal courts of the United States shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear, settle and/or determine any dispute, controversy or claim arising under the provisions of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, which could increase a shareholder's cost and limit such shareholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees.
Our Articles provide unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum (a) the federal courts of the United States shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear, settle and/or determine any dispute, controversy or claim arising under the provisions of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, which are referred to as the U.S. Actions; and (b) save for such U.S. Actions, the courts of the Cayman Islands shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim or dispute arising out of or in connection with the Articles or otherwise related in any way to each member's shareholding in us, including but not limited to (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands or the Articles; or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us concerning our internal affairs.
This choice of forum provision may increase a shareholder's cost and limit the shareholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any of our shares or other securities, whether by transfer, sale, operation of law or otherwise, shall be deemed to have notice of and have irrevocably agreed and consented to these provisions. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies' charter documents has been challenged in legal proceedings. It is possible that a court could find this type of provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable, and if a court were to find this provision in our Articles to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and/or results of operations.

Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents and Cayman Islands law may discourage or prevent a change of control, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our shareholders, which could depress the price of our ordinary shares and prevent attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our current management.
Our Articles contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that shareholders may consider to be in their best interests. Our board of directors has the ability to designate the terms of and issue preferred shares without shareholder approval. In addition, Board vacancies may be filled by an affirmative vote of the remaining Board members. The directors are divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively, and directors will generally be elected to serve staggered three-year terms. The term of the Class I Directors shall expire at the third annual general meeting of the Company in 2024. The term of office of the Class II Directors shall expire at the fourth annual general meeting of the Company in 2025. The term of office of the Class III Directors shall expire at the fifth annual general meeting of the Company in 2026. A Director whose term has expired may be reappointed in accordance with the terms of the Articles. These provisions may make it more difficult to remove directors.
Our Articles contain a prohibition on business combinations with any "interested" shareholder for a period of three years after such person becomes an interested shareholder unless (1) there is advance approval of our Board, (2) the interested shareholder owns at least 85% of our voting shares at the time the business combination commences or (3) the combination is approved by shareholders holding at least two-thirds of the votes attaching to the ordinary shares that are not held by the interested shareholder.
Taken together, these provisions may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our ordinary shares.
There may be difficulties in enforcing foreign judgments against our management or us.
Certain of our directors and management and certain of the other parties named in this Annual Report reside outside the United States. Most of our assets and such persons' assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for investors to effect service of process upon us within the United States or other jurisdictions, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.
In particular, investors should be aware that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands or any other applicable jurisdictions would recognize and enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or management predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States or entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands or any other applicable jurisdictions courts against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.
IHS Holding Limited is a holding company with no operations of its own and, as such, it depends on its subsidiaries for cash to fund its operations and expenses, including future dividend payments, if any.
As a holding company, our principal source of cash flow is distributions or payments from our operating subsidiaries. Therefore, our ability to fund and conduct our business, service our debt and pay dividends, if any, in the future depends on the ability of our subsidiaries and intermediate holding companies to make upstream cash distributions or payments to us, which may be impacted, for example, by their ability to generate sufficient cash flow or limitations on the ability to repatriate funds whether as a result of currency liquidity restrictions, monetary or exchange controls or otherwise. Our operating subsidiaries and intermediate holding companies are separate legal entities, and although they are directly or indirectly wholly owned and/or controlled by us, they have no obligation to make any funds available to us, whether in the form of loans, dividends or otherwise. The ability of our operating subsidiaries and intermediate holding companies to distribute cash to us will also be subject to, among other things, restrictions that may be contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness as entered into from time to time, including the IHS Holding RCF, the IHS Holding 2022  Term Loan , and the Notes, and the facilities of our operating subsidiaries, availability of sufficient funds in such subsidiaries and applicable laws, taxes and regulatory restrictions, including monetary or fiscal controls and restrictions. Claims of any creditors of any of our subsidiaries generally will have priority as to the assets of such subsidiaries over our claims and claims of our creditors and shareholders. To the extent the ability of any of our subsidiaries to distribute dividends or other payments to us is limited in any way, our ability to fund and conduct our business, service our debt and pay dividends, if any, could be harmed.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our ordinary shares adversely, the price and trading volume of our ordinary shares could decline.
The trading market for our ordinary shares is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. If any of the analysts who cover us or may cover us in the future change their recommendation or price targets regarding our ordinary shares adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of our ordinary shares could decline. If any analyst who covers us or may cover us in the future were to cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the price or trading volume of our ordinary shares to decline.

B. Business Overview
We are one of the largest independent owners, operators and developers of shared communications infrastructure in the world, providing our customers, most of whom are leading MNOs, with critical infrastructure that facilitates mobile communications coverage and connectivity for approximately 770 million people in emerging markets, across three regions and eleven countries. We are the largest independent multinational emerging-market-only tower operator and one of the largest independent multinational tower operators globally, in each case by tower count. As of December 31, 2022, we operated 39,652 Towers across seven countries in Africa, three countries in Latin America and one country in the Middle East. As of June 30, 2022, we are the largest independent tower operator in seven of the eleven markets in which we operate, and we are the only independent tower operator of scale in four of these markets.
We have a well-defined organic and inorganic expansion strategy designed to grow in existing markets with our existing and new customers and, given the significant global emerging market opportunities in communications infrastructure, enter carefully selected growth oriented markets with compelling underlying fundamentals. Historically, our business has been predominantly focused on the African continent, however in 2020 we started complementing this with investment into other regions and adjacent communications infrastructure offerings. Aligned to this inorganic growth strategy, in February 2020 we completed the first closing of 1,022 towers in Kuwait through a controlling investment pursuant to the Kuwait Acquisition for the acquisition of up to 1,620 towers in the aggregate, with a further 376 towers transferred in subsequent closings. Also, in February 2020 we completed the acquisition of 2,312 towers through a 100% investment pursuant to the CSS Acquisition with towers primarily in Brazil, as well as Peru and Colombia. In 2021, we acquired 1,005 towers in Brazil pursuant to the Skysites Acquisition, 819 towers in Brazil and Colombia pursuant to the Centennial Acquisition, and completed the TIM Fiber Acquisition with TIM Brasil to form I-Systems, which provides a neutral network infrastructure solution for broadband service in Brazil. In October 2021, we signed an agreement pursuant to the Egypt Transaction and obtained a license to construct, operate and lease telecom towers in Egypt. More recently, in 2022, we entered the South African market by completing the acquisition of 5,691 towers pursuant to the MTN SA Acquisition, and we expanded further in Brazil by completing the acquisition of 2,115 towers pursuant to the GTS SP5 Acquisition. Each of these acquisitions supports our inorganic growth strategy of expanding into additional regions that meet our investment criteria, which opens up new markets that we believe will provide future organic and inorganic growth opportunities.

"ATC" refers to American Tower Corporation, "Cellnex" refers to Cellnex Telecom S.A., "SBA" refers to SBA Communications Corporation, "PTI" refers to Phoenix Towers International and "Helios" refers to Helios Towers plc.
For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we generated revenue of $1,961 million and $1,580 million, losses for the period of $470 million and $26 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $1,031 million and $926 million, respectively. See Item 5.A. "Operating Results—Key Financial and Operational Performance Indicators—Return Adjusted EBITDA" for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to profit/(loss) for the period, the most directly comparable IFRS measure.
Our core business is providing shared communications infrastructure services to MNOs and other customers, who in turn provide wireless voice, data and fiber services to their end users and subscribers. We provide our customers with opportunities to lease space on existing Towers alongside current Tenants, known as Colocation, to install additional equipment on a Tower or request certain ancillary services, known as Lease Amendments, or to commission the construction of new Towers to the customer's specifications, known as New Sites. Additionally, through I-Systems, we provide "Fiber-to-the-Home" or "FTTH" fiber connectivity to our customers through a neutral network infrastructure solution for broadband service, and in Nigeria we provide "Fiber-to-the-Tower" or "FTTT" connectivity to our customers. Finally, we lease space to our customers in secure locations within large building complexes, such as shopping malls, stadiums and airports, which we refer to as in-building solutions, or IBS, or distributed antenna systems, or DAS. In certain strategic instances, we may also provide Managed Services, such as maintenance, security and power supply for Towers owned by third parties. As of December 31, 2022, our owned and operated tower portfolio supported 58,573 Tenants, with a Colocation Rate of 1.48x.
Our primary customers are the leading MNOs in each of our markets. We also provide infrastructure and services to a number of other communications service providers. Our success in establishing deep customer relationships and operational excellence has enabled us to grow both organically and through 22 transactions, building a footprint that currently covers Nigeria, South Africa, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Zambia, Rwanda, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Kuwait and Egypt. We are the largest independent tower operator in seven of the eleven markets in which we operate and are the only independent tower operator of scale in four of these markets. Our markets in Egypt (which we entered in 2021) and Latin America (which we entered in 2020) are the only ones in which we do not have a leadership position today.
To support the communications infrastructure needs of our customers, we typically enter into long-term MLAs of 5 to 15 years in duration, which have historically yielded strong renewal rates. As of December 31, 2022, the average remaining length of our MLAs with our Key Customers, who represented 93% of our Tenants, was 6.6 years. Additionally, these Key Customers had aggregate Contracted Revenue of $12.9 billion and an average remaining lease term of 7.6 years as of December 31, 2022.
Our MLAs typically include annual inflation-linked revenue escalators, limited customer termination rights and, in certain cases, provisions designed to mitigate foreign exchange risk, such as periodic reset mechanisms to adjust for local currency devaluation. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, 51%, 63% and 65%, respectively, of our revenue was linked to the U.S. dollar or euro. Foreign currency-linked elements implemented in certain of our contracts aim to help provide protection against potentially adverse movements in local currency. Our U.S. dollar-linked revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars in the relevant MLAs, but paid to us in local currency through contractual mechanisms. In such cases, including the majority of our revenue in Nigeria, and the minority of our revenue in Rwanda and Zambia, our MLAs may
57
Table of Contents
contain a formula for periodically determining the U.S. dollar to local currency exchange rate. In other cases, such as Côte d'Ivoire and Cameroon, the MLAs are in local currencies that have a fixed exchange rate, or are "pegged", to the euro. Our South Africa market and MENA and Latam segments have MLAs, which typically only contain local currency lease fees. See Item 3.D. "Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — The existence of multiple foreign exchange markets with different exchange rates may impact the rate at which our operating subsidiaries' financial results are translated into U.S. dollars for group reporting purposes, which may impact our financial condition and/or results of operations."
We have historically increased the number of our owned and operated Towers through a combination of constructing New Sites, as well as through acquisitions of tower portfolios from MNOs and independent tower companies. Shortly after entering new markets through acquisitions, we typically begin constructing New Sites.

extracted June 2022, Analysys Mason estimates and IHS. South Africa outsourced towers as of December 2021 exclude approximately 3,900 Gyro towers reported as of March, 2022 since those towers are non-independent as Gyro is owned by Telkom South Africa. Market share of independent tower companies is based on June 30, 2022 figures as per Analysys Mason.
We believe we offer a unique balance between existing infrastructure with visible revenue streams and high potential for revenue growth given the strong growth potential in our countries, the strength of our market positions within each country and our strategically important, unique tower locations. We believe that we are well positioned to improve margins and cash flow, while achieving long-term growth due to:
●
a large and scalable platform that provides critical infrastructure to help drive telecommunications activity and broader digital and economic progress;
●
a long-standing and stable operational platform that consistently delivers on our service level agreements to customers with proven network reliability;
●
a well-defined organic and inorganic expansion strategy designed to grow in existing markets with our existing and new customers and enter carefully selected growth-oriented markets with compelling underlying fundamentals; and
●
a comprehensive commitment towards contributing to sustainability and the well-being of our communities and environments where we operate.
Our successful performance so far is the result of many years of building, acquiring, operating, managing, and owning communications infrastructure in emerging market environments. As one of the pioneers of the tower infrastructure industry in Africa, we have worked with our customers to develop the experience needed to operate and grow a successful business in our sector. Our experience has provided us with years of insight, deep operational expertise, and strong relationships

construction, adjacent communications infrastructure investments such as fiber, and acquisition activity. New communications infrastructure services such as small cells will further add to our growth opportunities with the roll-out of 5G in some of our markets. As of December 31, 2022, with an average age of our tower portfolio of 6.2 years, based on the date of integration of the sites, and a Colocation Rate of 1.48x, we believe that we have a young portfolio with ample capacity to continue growing organically, as well as to realize further gains on operating margins from operational efficiencies. We believe this organic growth will help drive enhanced cash flow generation from our existing assets.

Our Competitive Strengths
We believe the following strengths position us to deliver operationally for our customers as well as generate strong financial returns and growth:
We are a clear leader in the majority of our current markets, which we support with a high quality asset base and service.
Large and Growing Telecommunications Markets.
We believe the markets in which we currently operate are structurally favorable, as a result of having large, growing populations and low mobile penetration, particularly relating to 4G and 5G SIM penetration. Our eleven markets covered approximately 832 million SIMs as of December 31, 2021. Our African markets are generally characterized by low mobile penetration, and a high number of subscribers per tower compared with the U.S. and Western Europe. These markets are also attractive due to an increasing need for 3G and 4G coverage and capacity, with 52% 3G SIM penetration and only 24% 4G SIM penetration as of December 31, 2021 (blended average metrics based on IHS Towers' number of towers in each market as of June 30, 2022, including the commitment to deploy 5,800 towers in Egypt). Over the longer term, we also expect 5G technology to become more meaningful in these markets. To meet the anticipated telecommunications growth in our African markets, including Egypt and South Africa, which we entered in 2021 and 2022, respectively, it is expected that these markets will require over 30,000 new towers and over 55,000 new MNO points of presence over the period December 2021 to December 2026. We also opened up new growth markets in 2020 with the completion of the Kuwait Acquisition and the CSS Acquisition in Latin America, giving us additional exposure to the growth and technology trends in these markets as well. It is estimated that the markets in Latin America we currently operate in including Brazil, Colombia and Peru will require over 24,000 new towers and over 42,000 new MNO points of presence over the period December 2021 to December 2026. As telecommunication networks in our markets evolve, we believe that there may also be increasing demand for other communications infrastructure, such as fiber connectivity and data centers.
Significant Market Scale.
We are the number one independent tower operator in seven of our eleven markets. As of June 30, 2022, we had an estimated 59% and 52% market share of independently owned or operated sites in Nigeria and South Africa (Gyro is owned by Telkom South Africa and is therefore excluded from the calculation), respectively, which are two of the largest telecommunications markets in Africa by subscribers. In addition, we are the only independent tower operator of scale in four of our eleven markets and as of June 30, 2022, we are the largest independent tower operator in Africa, measured by tower count.
As a leader in many of our markets, we benefit from operational efficiencies that help drive financial performance. We have strategically acquired multiple tower portfolios in each of our African markets and have selectively consolidated Towers, where we move Tenants from one Tower to another, to reduce costs. Follow-on transactions in new markets are an

important element of our inorganic growth strategy, and we have reinforced our position in our markets, completing follow-on transactions in each of our African markets (excluding South Africa and Egypt), as well as Brazil and Colombia. We own or operate approximately 37% of all Towers (63% of independent Towers) in our combined African markets (excluding Egypt) as of June 30, 2022 and therefore benefit when MNOs invest in additional coverage and capacity, either on our existing sites or through the share of new sites we deliver in the market. We believe our scale and market position gives us a unique opportunity to increase our revenue per tower through Colocation and Lease Amendments as MNOs upgrade their networks from 2G and 3G to 4G and 5G.
Substantial and Defensible Market Share.
Given the size and scale of our business and our track record of growth and service to our customers, we believe we are well positioned to maintain or even grow our market share. Our market position is backed by long-term contracts that we have a history of successfully maintaining. For the period covering 2022, 2021 and 2020, we have added 20,921 Tenants, 18,070 Lease Amendments and constructed 2,894 New Sites. As of December 31, 2022, we have built over 8,750 New Sites since our inception. We continue to provide quality service and take a partnership approach with our customers in radio frequency planning. We also benefit from high barriers to entry in our industry, including the capital intensive nature of building new tower portfolios and, in certain instances, zoning rules that restrict Towers and masts from being built within a certain radius of each other. We believe these factors underpin the strength of our market leadership and position us to take advantage of opportunities in our markets.
We have a proven business model with high quality revenue visibility that is backed by long-term, inflation-linked contracts.
Proven business model coupled with recurring revenues and long-term contracts.
We offer MNOs reliable services in exchange for monthly lease fees that are underpinned by long-term contracts, creating long-term revenue visibility. For MNOs, there are high costs and potential service interruptions associated with switching tower infrastructure and, historically, we have had a track record of successfully renegotiating and extending our contracts with MNOs, including with Key Customers in Nigeria in 2020 and 2022. As of December 31, 2022, we had $12.9 billion of Contracted Revenue from our Key Customers, an average remaining lease term of 7.6 years and an average remaining length of our MLAs of 6.6 years. In many cases, our contracts also include limited customer termination rights, inflation-linked revenue escalators and power indexation clauses to mitigate against certain increases in diesel prices. In certain cases, our contracts also include provisions designed to mitigate foreign exchange risk, such as periodic reset mechanisms to adjust for local currency devaluations.
The majority of our revenue comes from MNOs that are subsidiaries of large, publicly listed multinational MNOs. Our Key Customers are primarily the country subsidiaries of publicly listed multinational MNOs such as MTN Group, Airtel Africa, Orange Group, Telecom Italia, Zain Group, America Movil, Telefonica, and Millicom.
Structurally favorable unit economics.
The absence of competing infrastructure in the vicinity of our Towers helps enable strong demand from existing customers and positions our Towers as the preferred location for potential new demand. Time to market advantages for New Site construction, cost-to-build considerations and in some cases, regulatory restrictions create natural and high barriers to entry into our markets. We are able to achieve favorable unit economics through additional Tenants and Lease Amendments via Colocation that allow us to improve our margins and our return on invested capital. When we add additional Tenants via Colocation, we generally incur limited incremental costs and typically do not provide additional tenant discounts. We also have the ability to reduce certain of our costs per Tenant, which are mostly fixed, with the exception of power costs in our African and Middle East markets, which are variable. With a Colocation Rate of 1.48x across our portfolio as of December 31, 2022, our sites have the capacity to add additional Tenants before reaching a similar Colocation Rate as our older tower vintages. For example, as of December 31, 2022, our tower vintages up to 2012 had a Colocation Rate of 2.24x. We believe our success in leasing up and colocating on our older Towers is a strong indicator of our ability to lease-up, grow revenue and expand margins on our newer Towers.
We have contractual protections against macroeconomic volatility.
For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, 51%, 63%, and 65%, respectively, of our revenue was linked to the U.S. dollar or euro. Most of our operating costs are in local currency, and we have structured our contracts to provide protection against inflation and, in some cases, local currency devaluation.
Our MLAs in our MENA and Latam segments have local currency lease fees with annual inflation linked escalators. In our SSA and Nigeria segments the local currency components of our lease fees typically adjust with local currency linked inflation provisions and U.S. dollar components of our lease fees present in some of our African market MLAs typically adjust with U.S.-linked inflation provisions. The majority of our costs do not have mechanical indexation, enabling us to both grow our revenue and manage our cost base. With the exception of the cost of diesel, the majority of which is paid in U.S.

dollars, substantially all of our direct and indirect operating expenses are denominated in and incurred in local currency. Capital expenditures may be linked to U.S. dollars in some instances, but are also incurred in local currency, providing further resilience to macroeconomic volatility.
We have a track record of both organic and inorganic growth.
We have a number of organic growth opportunities.
There are a number of avenues that have driven our historical organic growth and that we believe will continue to drive future organic growth, including Colocation, Lease Amendments and New Sites. These opportunities are typically the result of our customers looking to densify their networks, improve their network coverage and capacity and upgrade their networks with new technologies, in response to growing populations and data demand from end users in our markets. Our MLAs also typically include annual inflation-linked escalations, ensuring contractual increases to revenue.
In response to these growing needs, we benefit from customers choosing Colocation in order to get to market quickly on an existing site of ours. Colocations are a highly attractive opportunity as they enable us to lease-up our existing assets with minimal incremental capital expenditure and operating expenses required. As of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we achieved a Colocation Rate of 1.48x, 1.50x and 1.54x, respectively. When we acquire towers from mobile operators, these typically have a low Colocation Rate that reduces our overall Colocation Rate, but at the same time these towers result in a further Colocation opportunity for our other customers.
Lease Amendments represent an opportunity for existing Tenants to enhance their existing position or upgrade technology at a Tower by installing additional equipment on that Tower or requesting certain ancillary services. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we added 4,550, 9,141 and 4,379 Lease Amendments, respectively. Colocation and Lease Amendments both support our growth by increasing our operating leverage.
We typically construct New Sites after obtaining a commitment for a long-term lease with an initial tenant and, in general, if we are aware of, or believe there is, commercial potential for Colocation. Since our inception, we have built over 8,750 New Sites. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we built 1,184, 1,348 and 362 New Sites, respectively.
We also benefit from the opportunity to generate revenue from adjacent services, including fiber, DAS, small cells and data centers. In terms of fiber services, through I-Systems, we provide FTTH connectivity to our customers through a neutral network infrastructure solution for broadband service, and in Nigeria we provide FTTT connectivity to our customers. These opportunities do not constitute a material contribution to our revenue today, although we look to continue to expand these opportunities as an area of growth in the future, particularly in Brazil, Nigeria, South Africa, and Kuwait, where 5G roll-out has already commenced.
We have a track record of inorganic growth through acquiring, consolidating and integrating tower portfolios.
Since our inception, we have completed 22 transactions for more than 32,500 Towers and fiber assets across ten countries. These transactions have enabled us to achieve our strong in-market positioning, which is key to both our ability to provide high quality services and to ensure the sustainability of the fundamentals of our business. Our recently completed acquisitions demonstrate our desire to expand into structurally favorable emerging and less developed markets around the world.
Our inorganic growth strategy focuses on entering carefully selected growth oriented markets with compelling underlying fundamentals. A key component of this inorganic growth lies in our strategy to then develop each of the markets that we enter. We aim to execute follow-on, in-market transactions upon entering a new market, in order to solidify our presence as well as extract cost synergies from our operational platform across our large asset base. In addition to building our market presence, this strategy has allowed us to better service our customers through our extensive platform.
We have an established history of delivering high quality service to our customers.
We have long-term relationships with leading MNOs.
Our sites are, for most of our customers, the primary tower infrastructure that supports their operations, making us a key long-term partner of our customers. Through these partnerships, we have developed deep ties with our customers' key decision makers.
We have a long track record of delivering quality service to MNOs through deeply integrated relationships. Our customers entrust us with this critical infrastructure in part due to our proven record. For example, in our African businesses (excluding South Africa), we had average power uptimes of 99.9% and average time to repair below two hours for the year ended December 31, 2022. In our African businesses, our innovative power availability solutions are a critical component of our
62
Table of Contents
quality of service offering in our current markets that lack a robust power grid, as well as in South Africa, where the power grid experienced significant interruption in 2022 due to load shedding.
We have a modern and efficient global operational management platform.
We have differentiated ourselves from our tower competitors over time through our advanced network operating centers, or NOCs, in our African and Kuwait businesses, excluding Egypt and South Africa, with bespoke remote monitoring at 89% of sites covered by these NOCs as of December 31, 2022 (with monitoring of almost all remaining sites through MNO network operating centers), site acquisition and maintenance teams, and a network of partners in the fields of security, power management equipment, site deployment / construction and diesel supply. Our NOCs operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week and monitor a variety of data sent from our Towers. Such data include access and gate status, diesel supply, usage and quality, cabinet temperature and overall power uptime, consumption and supply. We have demonstrated significant uptime improvement in the sites that we have purchased and enabled improved quality of service levels across our portfolio, other than in South Africa where the power grid experienced significant interruption in 2022 due to load shedding and where we are still transitioning services from third party providers to build our own NOC. Given the current operating environment in Latin America with limited service level agreement obligations (such as power uptime or average time to repair) to customers, our businesses in Brazil, Peru and Colombia generally do not require NOCs or remote monitoring services.
We have a track record of resilience to volatility.
We have a track record of growth during periods of macro-economic volatility, including in relation to foreign exchange rates.
Despite Nigerian Naira devaluations and the sustained economic slowdown continuing in Nigeria since 2018, with real GDP growth at 3.1%, 3.4% and (1.9)% for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, our revenue and Segment Adjusted EBITDA for our Nigeria segment has continued to grow during that same period. Revenue for our Nigeria segment increased 17.9%, 10.5% and 12.1% for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, compared to the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and Segment Adjusted EBITDA for our Nigeria segment increased by 2.5%, 11.7% and 25.5% over the same periods, despite the Naira depreciating from an average rate of ₦364.7 to $1.00 for the year ended December 31, 2019 to an average rate of ₦461.5 to $1.00 for the year ended December 31, 2022.
We have a disciplined capital allocation policy.
We employ a prudent approach to discretionary capital allocation. We have a strong focus on maintaining a healthy capital structure through a mix of debt and equity financing. As of December 31, 2022, we had $3.9 billion of debt and IFRS 16 lease liabilities and $514.1 million of cash on our balance sheet. We continue to maintain a prudent approach to leverage, which we believe provides us with strong flexibility to evaluate future investment opportunities and other potential capital allocation alternatives.
We have a founder-led, experienced management team with a differentiated operational skillset and track record, that is dedicated to operational best practices.
Our executive team is led by our founders and other seasoned senior executives with strong relevant experience.
Our founders remain in lead executive positions and are deeply involved in day-to-day operations, strategy and leadership. We have a highly experienced management team with a track record of delivering operational performance and strategic growth for our business. With a background in site construction, site management as well as site operation, our management team has experience across the full communications infrastructure value chain. We have added to our leadership team over the years, and together, our management team has deep experience in both developed and emerging markets, towers, telecommunications, finance, governance and mergers and acquisitions. In addition to a strong executive management team, we have developed a seasoned team of in-country managers that help run the day-to-day operations, manage local relationships and expand effectively into new markets.
Our governance and control frameworks underpin our dedication to operational best practices.
Since our inception in 2001, we have established a rigorous framework, which includes a focus on corporate governance, ethics, environment and sustainability and risk management policies and a platform that combines the strong fundamentals of the communications infrastructure business with attractive long-term growth potential.
We have implemented governance practices at the board of directors and executive levels, including committees focused on ethics and risk management. We have ten directors, seven of whom are independent directors, on our board of directors. We have also developed an ethical compliance framework aligned with converging best practice methodologies.

Our Strategy
Since our inception in 2001, we have established a reputation as a leader in the high growth, emerging market communications infrastructure sector, servicing MNOs and ultimately the growing end-consumer market with critical communications infrastructure, which also benefits the broader communities in our markets through enabling accelerated access to communications. Through the growth of 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G, we have helped the MNOs in our markets provide services to subscribers by owning, operating, sharing and constructing communications infrastructure. We are pursuing the following key strategies to grow our cash flow and continue to take advantage of our competitive strengths:
​
Increase revenue, improve margins and grow cash flows by maximizing the use of our existing network infrastructure and driving organic growth through Colocation, Lease Amendments and New Sites or other communications infrastructure
Our primary strategy is to expand our revenue-generating asset base and improve utilization on new and existing Towers and other communications infrastructure. We aim to drive organic revenue growth and cash flow generation through Colocation, Lease Amendments, contractual lease fee escalations and New Site or other communications infrastructure construction. In addition, we believe strong operating leverage and initiatives, such as selective decommissioning, will help us drive margins and increase cash flows. Moreover, we see the opportunity to expand our FTTH fiber services in Brazil through I-Systems and our FTTT fiber connectivity services in Nigeria.  As our customers ready themselves for 5G roll-out, we believe these fiber services, as well as existing services such as DAS and small cells and potentially data centers, will likely increase in prevalence, and will become a core component to our growth thesis.
Seek attractive rates of return through disciplined organic and inorganic investment
We intend to continue investing capital seeking attractive rates of return. We pursue carefully selected strategies, including New Site or other communications infrastructure construction and selective decommissioning, and have a strong track record of delivering value-enhancing incremental investments that have helped grow our asset base, secure our market leading positions and provide the scale and market share necessary to sustain our growth. We assess acquisition and investment opportunities in both existing and new markets using our (i) country attractiveness framework, (ii) strategic importance analysis and (iii) investment appraisal methodologies.
Within existing markets, we focus on growing our scale advantages by acquiring portfolios and other existing tower companies, which offer opportunity for operational improvements, potential synergy realization and potentially decommissioning opportunities, leading to potentially higher returns than comparable standalone investments. Additionally, we assess adjacent components of the communications infrastructure value chain, such as fiber, to be able to offer more infrastructure services to our customers, generate incremental operating synergies across our assets and deliver potentially higher returns.
In new markets, we seek attractive communications infrastructure opportunities with contractual agreements that aim to maximize returns on our investments. We also seek balanced telecommunications market dynamics with service and technology growth opportunities and demand for communications infrastructure services. We consider markets attractive if we believe we can achieve significant scale, and even more so, if we can leverage relationships with multi-national MNOs with whom we may have existing relationships in other markets. If we deem a market attractive, we aim to apply our disciplined approach to acquisitions, establish a path to scale, gain market leadership within that country or more broadly within that region, and diversify our overall portfolio by market and by customer. In contrast, we avoid markets which do not offer chances for meaningful scale or ones that we do not believe have the right fundamental drivers to support our growth strategy.
In addition to acquiring tower portfolios or seeking to consolidate existing tower companies, we also see the potential for new and related services that will help enhance our value proposition to our customers, reduce their capital expenditure, stabilize their operating costs, help improve their quality of service and enable faster deployment of their networks. We expect to continue to generate cash flows from newly developed service propositions, such as our FTTH and FTTT fiber infrastructure services, where we see significant potential in our markets. We will continually consider opportunities to expand our offering beyond the current infrastructure services, which support MNOs in their intention to build 4G and 5G enabled networks of the future, notably with small cells in urban areas and DAS. We believe that there are opportunities to expand the types of infrastructure partnerships that we could form with our customers, such as investments in Internet-of-Things or edge computing, which could fall within our investment criteria, our infrastructure focus and our business model. We are committed to anticipating and responding to new technology trends and evolving customer needs.

Our investment appraisal of inorganic opportunities includes targeting long term financial metrics to form the basis of our investment appraisal as well as assessing inorganic opportunities for individual strategic merit.
Continued focus on operational excellence, service delivery for customers and adopting an innovative approach to new technology
We plan to continue delivering high levels of performance to our customers in terms of site power availability, site access, equipment monitoring and servicing. We have done this consistently for years and we are increasingly leveraging new technology to expand the scope of how we monitor and improve the sites while reducing our dependence on diesel-powered generators. Our extensive use of alternative power solutions in our African markets helps reduce our operating costs and is more environmentally friendly given the reduction in diesel consumption that these solutions deliver. We will also look to leverage this expertise in other markets in which we operate where services such as power or site monitoring may be requested from customers in the future.
In support of these goals, in 2022, we published our Carbon Reduction Roadmap which provided a comprehensive strategy for decreasing our emissions, including a goal to reduce the Scope 1 and Scope 2 kilowatt-hour emissions intensity of our tower portfolio by 50% by 2030, using 2021 emissions data as the baseline.  Under Project Green, the next significant step of our Carbon Reduction Roadmap, we expect to spend $214 million in capital expenditures towards these efforts between 2022 and 2024. We expect to achieve emissions and financial savings by connecting more sites to the electricity grid and via the deployment and integration of battery storage and solar panel solutions. In scope for Project Green are our operations in Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Kuwait, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Zambia.
Enhancing our impact on our communities and on the environment
Our business model is designed to be more sustainable than various alternatives given we promote infrastructure sharing, drive connectivity across our markets and have invested in hybrid power solutions that reduce operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Additionally, we continuously aim to improve and develop our Sustainability strategy, which focuses on four pillars: (i) environment and climate change; (ii) education and economic growth; (iii) our people and communities; and (iv) ethics and governance. By supporting local schools, education initiatives, health clinics and wider programs, such as improving rural telephony, we seek to make a positive impact in the communities in which we operate and further contribute to the growth and development of our markets.
Having become a Signatory of the UN Global Compact in 2020, we produce an annual 'Communication on Progress (CoP)' covering how we are supporting the Compact's ten principles in areas such as human rights, labor standards, the environment and anti-corruption, and our 2021 Sustainability Report served as our second CoP. We believe that our sustainability programs contribute to nine of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, or UN SDGs. Each of these goals feeds into our four-pillar sustainability strategy, which guides our everyday performance and underpins our business.
The impact of our Sustainability strategy continues to be recognized externally. In 2022, IHS Nigeria was recognized for the fourth year running at the Sustainability, Enterprise and Responsibility Awards, winning in three Best Company categories of Environmental Stewardship, Partnership and Climate Action. For the second year running, IHS Cameroon received an award at the 2022 Corporate Awards in the CSR & Sustainability: ESG category. In Latin America, IHS Brazil was recognized as the Most Innovative Telecom Company in the Project Connectivity category at the Tele.Síntese Awards for deploying compact communications infrastructure solutions in vulnerable communities, most notably favelas in Rio de Janeiro.
Our Tower Portfolio
Size of portfolio
As of December 31, 2022, we had a portfolio of 35,652 owned Towers and 4,000 Towers that we operate under MLL and ROU arrangements totaling 39,652 Towers owned and operated. With 58,573 Tenants as of December 31, 2022, we had a Colocation Rate of 1.48x. Additionally, as of December 31, 2022, we had 31,674 Lease Amendments. We have historically increased the number of our Towers through a combination of constructing New Sites, along with the acquisition of site portfolios from MNOs and from independent tower companies, namely HTN Towers, CSS, Skysites, Centennial, and GTS SP5.
In connection with the acquisition of multiple portfolios of Towers and in other circumstances, we have also rationalized our portfolio through decommissioning where we have multiple Towers in close proximity to each other, including the ongoing rationalization program agreed with a Key Customer in Nigeria. Where economically and commercially viable to do so, we
65
Table of Contents
migrate Tenants from one Tower onto a nearby Tower as additional Colocation and then decommission the empty site. While the decommissioning of Towers offsets our overall growth in the number of Towers, it allows us to eliminate cost of sales and ongoing maintenance capital expenditures of the decommissioned tower with only a marginal cost of sales increase at our retained sites through increased power consumption.
The following table shows the growth of our tower portfolio, which is primarily a result of acquired Towers and the construction of New Sites, for the period and as of the dates indicated:

In addition to the foregoing owned and operated Towers, we also manage and operate approximately 222 Towers in Kuwait under a Managed Services agreement as part of the Kuwait Acquisition. These Towers are currently owned by Zain Kuwait, and we expect ownership of such Towers to be transferred to us following completion of the necessary documentation and subject to satisfaction of customary conditions.
Tenancies and Colocation Rate
We provide our customers with opportunities to install active equipment, and receive related services, on existing Towers alongside current Tenants, known as Colocation. The Colocation Rate is the average number of Tenants per Tower that we own or operate across our portfolio at a point in time. With 58,573 Tenants as of December 31, 2022, we had a Colocation Rate of 1.48x.
Our Colocation Rate is an important metric for assessing utilization and capacity on existing Towers, as well as potential for future growth. Our Colocation Rate is a key driver of our gross margins and operating margins, as the addition of further Tenants to existing Towers increases revenue while only marginally increasing our costs (primarily power). Colocation is attractive to our customers, as it provides them with shorter deployment times for their equipment compared to New Site construction arrangements.

We review and analyze the performance of our Colocation Rate trends for Towers built or acquired in different periods. As of December 31, 2022, our tower vintages up to 2012 had an average Colocation Rate of 2.24x, while our more recent portfolios ranged from 1.27x to 1.71x. This metric can be affected by recent acquisitions and consistent New Site programs, each of which reduce the overall Colocation Rate and make total portfolio comparisons less meaningful. However, we believe the relatively low Colocation Rate provides strong growth potential going forward. The table below shows our

The Colocation Rate of our Towers is a key indicator of portfolio maturity and operational efficiency.
Lease Amendments
In addition to Colocation, we also continue to benefit from Lease Amendments as our existing Tenants roll out new technologies on their existing sites, which includes the deployment of 3G, 4G and 5G technologies. As of December 31, 2022, our customers had deployed over 31,650 Lease Amendments to Towers across our footprint. Given the relative growth potential of the telecommunications markets in which we operate, where 3G and 4G SIM penetration are generally at a low starting base (e.g. 68% and 16%, respectively in Nigeria as of December 31, 2021), the majority of the Lease Amendments that we have added thus far are for 3G and 4G equipment added to a Tower for existing Tenants.

Tower Specifications
The following diagram illustrates the standard facilities located on our typical ground-based tower sites in our African and Middle East markets:
The antennas, microwave dish and the active equipment inside or outside of the shelter are owned and maintained by the customers, while we own and maintain the passive infrastructure, including the mast, the shelter, the site monitoring system, and, if applicable, the diesel generator, the battery backup system or the hybrid power solutions, which include solar and battery systems. The site land is generally leased from a land owner or purchased by us. See "— Real Property Leases." In Latin America and South Africa, the supply of primary power is typically the responsibility of the operators, who have either a grid connection or their own power supply for the site.
The number of antennae that a Tower can accommodate varies depending on the type of Tower (self-supporting monopole, guyed or self-supporting lattice), the height of the Tower, the nature of the services provided by such antenna and the antenna size and weight. The substantial majority of our Towers are self-supporting lattice Towers that can support a large number of antennae, which therefore enables us to market tower space to a diverse group of telecommunications providers and other customers. Ground-based Towers can typically accommodate three or more Tenants. The key criteria in determining how many Tenants the Tower can hold is the wind loading capacity of the Tower. The capacity of a single Tower can be increased by Tower strengthening and height extensions and by adding further antenna mounting poles. The structure of the Tower can be reinforced and the foundation strengthened to accommodate additional Tenants and Lease Amendments.
Our Tower portfolio consists principally of ground-based Towers. As of December 31, 2022, 57% of our Towers were between 30 and 60 meters in height, and 32% of our Towers were smaller than 30 meters, including 12% of which were rooftop sites. We build larger Towers when circumstances require, including when Towers will be located in valleys or require a greater range of transmission. As of December 31, 2022, 9% of our Towers are between 60 and 75 meters, and 3% are taller than 75 meters. As of December 31, 2022, the average age of Towers in our portfolio based on our date of integration was 6.2 years.

Operations
Our core business provides shared communications infrastructure services to MNOs, including power management, to ensure uninterrupted operation of customers' transmission equipment. MNOs, in turn, use our tower infrastructure to provide wireless voice and data services to their end users. We lease space to customers on existing Towers alongside current Tenants, known as Colocation, as well as lease additional space to existing Tenants on Towers for the installation of additional equipment through Lease Amendments. We commission New Sites for construction to the MNOs' specifications and lease space on those newly built Towers. In certain of our markets, we also provide customers with the required power for their equipment.
Colocation
Colocation is at the core of our business model as it allows us to leverage existing Towers to grow revenue and improve operating margins. We believe that our current tower portfolio and our experience of operating large portfolios of Towers, coupled with our strong customer relationships, will help us to capitalize on expected market growth and Colocation opportunities.
A typical Colocation process usually involves the following steps:
●
New customers typically sign an MLA, which governs our relationship with the customer.
●
We work closely with our customers, sharing our updated tower portfolio location details throughout the
year, and particularly during the planning phase, to maximize the number of Colocation opportunities. We also have radio frequency planning teams that work with customers with regards to the planning and optimization of their networks.
●
Upon determining to lease tower space for Colocation, the customer delivers a work order requesting us to reserve specific space on a specific Tower. Once the work order has been processed and the tower space is ready for integration (typically approximately 30
days), we issue a notification to the customer, who confirms acceptance of the site.
●
Under certain of our MLAs, an SLA is then signed for the commissioning of the Colocation of each specific Tower, incorporating the provisions of the MLA, and the first invoice is then submitted.
●
The accrual of lease fees depends on the MLA, and usually begins approximately 30
days after notification that the site is ready for installation, or when the tenant installs or activates its equipment.
●
Subsequent invoicing depends upon the particular MLA, and in most cases occurs
monthly or quarterly in advance.
Lease Amendments
In addition to Colocation, we drive our revenue and operating margins by leasing additional space or equipment or providing certain ancillary services to existing Tenants on sites through Lease Amendments. For example, an existing Tenant may choose to deploy an additional technology, such as 3G, 4G or 5G technology at the same site the Tenant is leasing, or an existing Tenant may seek to connect fiber to the Tower, which requires the provision of additional power for that connection.
Our customers utilize different technologies, though active GSM technologies comprise the most prevalent type of technology on our Towers to date. Data demands continue to be a key factor in our markets and certain large MNOs have recently been upgrading their 4G networks and/or have already begun deploying 5G networks. These technologies require increased density for Towers and equipment, increasing the need for additional points of service and amplifying the need for Colocation.
As subscriber density increases, tower operators deploy additional infill sites to deliver further capacity to areas of demand. This densification of the network is driven further by the deployment of 3G, 4G and 5G services, which are typically carried over higher frequency spectrum bands. The cell-sizes for these higher frequency bands are much smaller than, for example, a GSM 900 MHz cell, but the capacity that is delivered over a similar area is much higher and can therefore support high subscriber density and deliver higher voice and data traffic. The recent deployment of 3G/4G in lower frequency bands does not negate the need for densification, as it allows 3G and 4G coverage to be extended into more rural areas similar to 2G coverage. We expect MNOs in our markets to continue to service 2G, 3G and 4G technologies for many more years.

New Sites
We believe that the timely deployment of New Sites, which includes site acquisition, construction and structural and electrical engineering, has been a critical component in obtaining and completing site orders. We have extensive New Site deployment experience, having built over 8,750 New Sites and have been a major provider to the market in New Sites since 2011. The average cost to build a typical macro New Site as of December 31, 2022 is in the range of $75,000 to $105,000 in our African and Middle East businesses, and in the range of $40,000 to $75,000 in our Latin America business.
New Sites constructed consist primarily of ground-based towers, but can also include in-building solutions, rooftop and wall-mounted towers and cells-on-wheels. For New Sites, we retain ownership as well as the exclusive right to colocate additional Tenants on the tower. These New Sites always begin operations with at least a single tenant, with Colocation and Lease Amendments expected at future dates. We seek to construct New Sites only in locations where Key Customers are committed to be the initial tenant with optimal additional Colocation capacity, and therefore generally aim to only build Towers for customers in locations that have the potential to attract other customers. We strive to realize the operating leverage inherent in the tower business by leasing up the New Sites with additional tenancies. In Africa (excluding South Africa) and the Middle East, we aim to construct New Sites with the appropriate power systems for their location, which may include hybrid batteries and solar systems. In South Africa, we provide back-up power solutions as connection to the grid is the primary source of power. See "— Power and Power Management." Given the operating model in Latin America, power systems are less relevant in these markets where the provision of power is a responsibility of the customer.
The entire process from receipt of work order to completion of New Site construction as of December 31, 2022 typically takes approximately 90 to 150 days. The actual time taken and the detailed steps followed can vary depending on the country, customer, the location of the specific site and issues, if any, identified during the site acquisition process.
A typical New Site process, including additional value-added services, involves the following steps:
●
A new customer will sign an MLA, or have an existing MLA with the relevant optionality to roll-out New Sites, and inform the marketing unit that it requires a New Site in a certain location (usually a location within a 200 meter radius of a precise coordinate, referred to as a search ring).
●
Mapping specialists select the most suitable sites based on a number of factors, including (i)
the proximity to central coordinates provided by the customer, (ii)
appropriate terrain most suited to broadcasting of uninterrupted signals, (iii)
which sites provide the most attractive property lease or purchase terms, with a preference for purchasing the land, (iv)
which sites have the highest potential to be approved for aviation and environmental permits in the shortest time frame and (v)
which sites may be the most viable location for additional Tenants. Final sites selected are submitted to the customer and, once approved, to our site acquisition department.
●
Once a location is accepted by the customer, we negotiate and enter into either (i)
a long-term ground lease pursuant to which we acquire a leasehold interest in the property, (ii)
a contract of sale pursuant to which we acquire title to the property, or (iii)
an easement agreement pursuant to which we acquire an easement over the property. We may also negotiate
an option to purchase or lease the property in the future. Concurrent with the negotiation of appropriate property rights, we obtain a title report on the site, conduct a survey of the site, perform soil analysis of the site and obtain an environmental survey of the site (if relevant). The resultant plan is then submitted to the relevant regulatory authority for approval. We also obtain land use permits necessary to commence construction on the site or install equipment on the site.
●
Upon the customer
'
s acceptance of the completion of the tower construction, under certain MLAs, a separate SLA is then signed for the commissioning of the individual site, which incorporates the provisions of the MLA.
The accrual of the lease and maintenance fees generally starts at the time of the customer's acceptance of the completion of the tower construction. Subsequent invoicing depends on the particular MLA but generally commences within 30 days of the customer's acceptance or delivery of the site.
Decommissioning sites
Historically, we have grown our portfolio through constructing New Sites, along with the acquisition of site portfolios from MNOs and independent tower companies. As a result of acquisitions of multiple tower portfolios in the same markets, we often have multiple Towers in close proximity to each other. If it is economically and commercially viable to do so, and if agreed to by the tenant, we migrate Tenants from one Tower onto a nearby Tower as additional Colocation and then
70
Table of Contents
decommission the empty site. In other circumstances, we may selectively decommission sites of existing customers, including the ongoing rationalization program agreed with a Key Customer in Nigeria. While the decommissioning of Towers offsets our overall growth in the number of Towers, it allows us to eliminate duplicative cost of sales and ongoing maintenance capital expenditures of the decommissioned tower with only a marginal cost of sales increase at our retained sites through increased power consumption. We aim to continue working with our customers to determine if we can improve our service offerings through further decommissioning.
Site management and maintenance
We deploy a combination of in-house personnel and third-party contractors to manage and maintain our Towers. In-house personnel are responsible for oversight and supervision of all aspects of preventative and corrective maintenance and site management, including managing the operational aspects of customer relationships, managing structural engineering and tower capacity issues, ensuring proper signage, and supervision of independent contractors. We engage numerous suppliers to provide various services in connection with site acquisition, construction, access management, security and preventative and corrective maintenance of tower sites, as well as the supply of diesel to certain of our sites. As of December 31, 2022, we had entered into outsourcing arrangements for certain services in respect of 77% of our sites.
For example, we have outsourced power management, refurbishment, operations and maintenance and security functions at some of our sites to third-party contractors. These power management functions include the supply of diesel to certain sites and deployment of alternative power technologies that we configure and design, such as hybrid and solar power technologies, on certain sites, to help reduce diesel consumption to a contracted volume. Third-party contractors providing material operational services are subject to strict contractual execution targets for both financial and operational performance. By entering into these agreements, we are able to ensure the proper functioning of our sites and fix our costs by setting maximum costs per site (subject to typical inflation escalation) with the third-party contractor providing the services. In addition to the service level agreements that need to be maintained, outsourcing to contractors allows us to budget more effectively.
Site maintenance and management activities include:
Site monitoring and control
Our NOCs are 24-hour fully operational management centers from which our personnel monitor and control the tower sites from a central location. Remote monitoring systems allow us to better monitor, regulate and control site conditions, including, among other things, site AC, DC, load, power consumption per tenant, diesel usage and tank levels, environmental alarms (shelter temperatures, smoke detectors, etc.) and remote access control. We have remote monitoring systems installed in six of our eleven markets covering 89% of our sites within these six countries (with monitoring of almost all remaining sites through MNO network operating centers). Our NOCs are operated 24 hours a day, seven days a week and monitor a variety of data sent from our Towers. Such data includes access and gate status, diesel supply, usage and quality, cabinet temperature and overall power uptime, consumption and supply. In South Africa, we currently rely on a transitional third party operations support system but expect to establish our own NOC in the market in 2023. Given the current operating environment in Latin America and no provision of service levels to customers, our businesses in Brazil, Peru and Colombia do not require NOCs.
The activities conducted in the NOCs ensure that we provide our customers with quality service and uptimes. We averaged a power uptime of 99.9% (excluding South Africa) across our tower portfolio in our African markets for the year ended December 31, 2022, with an average mean time to repair of under two hours for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Security
The protection of our sites is key to ensuring the sustainability of our business. We ensure that our Towers generally have fencing and security lights and, where relevant, such as in our African markets, some of our sites are guarded by outsourced security guards. We apply rigorous access control policies at the sites and require each visitor to be pre-approved with customer representatives. Our remote monitoring systems also allow us to track all access to restricted areas on the sites.
Power and Power Management
The reliability of main grid electricity varies considerably across our footprint and determines, along with the requirements of any one site, the most appropriate power system for that site. Specifically in our African markets where there can be a lack of reliable main grid electricity supply, we currently source a substantial amount of our power needs for daily operations
71
Table of Contents
from a combination of diesel generators, solar panels, and deep cycle batteries. As of December 31, 2022, in our African markets (excluding South Africa), 42% of our sites were powered with hybrid power systems (a combination of diesel generators with solar and / or battery systems), 24% with only generators, 26% with grid connectivity and back-up generators, with the remaining 7% powered through only grid connectivity or solar power and other systems. As of December 31, 2022, 8,804 of our sites in Africa, excluding South Africa, had solar power solutions, representing 35% of our African Tower portfolio (excluding South Africa). We, or third-party contractors we have engaged for certain sites, are responsible for monitoring the diesel levels of our generator tanks and scheduling diesel deliveries. Given the importance of diesel for the operation of our sites in many of our African markets, we may purchase diesel in large quantities, which is then stored at our facilities. In Latin America, South Africa, and Kuwait our sites are typically powered by grid solutions, with back-up power systems in certain instances.
To address the costs associated with diesel generator usage and maintenance in our African markets (excluding South Africa), we deploy as practicable hybrid battery power systems, which involve alternating between power storage sources, such as batteries (VRLA and lithium ion) and diesel generators. On certain sites, we have also switched from using 3-phase AC generators to DC generators or single phase generators, which consume less diesel. We have also begun deploying hybrid solar power systems on certain sites. We continuously evaluate innovative power management technologies and solutions, including more efficient generators, hybrid battery systems and solar systems. We outsource certain services, including power management and site maintenance for our sites, which includes over 9,000 sites in Nigeria where we had deployed hybrid power systems, prior to Project Green. These systems use batteries and/or solar power systems, along with traditional generators, to reduce fuel costs and create a more consistent energy supply to increase network uptime for our customers. In Nigeria, the deployment of these power management solutions resulted in, on average, an approximately 50% reduction in diesel consumption per tower at the time of deployment on the more than 7,400 sites where we had deployed hybrid power solutions, which included solar power.
Under Project Green, the next significant step of our Carbon Reduction Roadmap, we expect to spend $214 million in capital expenditures between 2022 and 2024 towards connecting more sites to the electricity grid and via the deployment and integration of battery storage and solar panel solutions. In scope for Project Green are our operations in Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Kuwait, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Zambia.
Given the reliable grid connectivity and power pass through nature of most customer contracts in Kuwait and our Latin American markets, power management is less of a focus in these markets.
Replacement of power systems in cycles forms a significant part of our annual maintenance capital expenditures, which are in the range of $2,000 to $7,000 per Tower per year as of December 31, 2022 in our African and Middle East businesses. Given the different power environment in our Latin America business, annual maintenance capital expenditures are currently less than $500 per tower per year.
Fiber Services
In certain of our markets, we have begun providing certain fiber services, including the deployment and operation of fiber access networks and infrastructure. In Brazil, through our I-Systems subsidiary, we deploy and operate a fiber infrastructure that is primarily rented back to TIM Brasil (as anchor client), and in the future other customers, for their provision of residential broadband services to consumers, which is referred to as a Fiber-to-the-Home ("FTTH") network. As part of the transaction that formed I-Systems, we inherited a legacy Fiber-to-the-Curb ("FTTC") network that is also being upgraded to FTTH. I-Systems is responsible for the deployment of the relevant fiber node as well as the secondary fiber network connected to that node, including the fiber drop at a consumer's premises. I-Systems is also responsible for the ongoing management and maintenance of that fiber network. As of December 31, 2022, the I-Systems network covers approximately 7.5 million homes passed (of which approximately 4.5 million are FTTH) and spans 18,000 route kilometers. In certain of our African markets, we also provide Fiber-to-the-Tower ("FTTT") services, where we deploy fiber to towers that we own or operate and sell capacity to our customers to generate revenue.
Customer Lease Agreements
We lease space on Towers to our customers pursuant to a combination of MLAs, which provide the commercial terms governing the lease of tower space, MLL agreements, and individual SLAs, where relevant, which act as an appendix to the relevant MLA, and include site-specific terms for each relevant tower.
Customer lease agreements, whether long-term lease agreements, master tower space use agreements or other MLAs such as Managed with License to Lease Agreements, or MLLs, are the principal agreement between the customer and us.
72
Table of Contents
These govern the ongoing and long-term customer relationship and provide the commercial terms governing the lease of tower space. As of December 31, 2022, the average remaining length of our MLAs was 6.6 years. An MLA typically has an initial term of 5 to 15 years and will stay in effect until the parties renew or sign a new tower lease agreement. When we acquire portfolios of towers or construct towers for customers in new markets, we typically sign an MLA with a minimum duration of 10 years. A number of the MLAs with our customers are deemed automatically renewed if not cancelled by the stated expiration date. The material commercial terms of our MLAs are typical for the tower infrastructure industry in our markets and include contractual provisions setting out, among other things, pricing, renewal clauses, termination clauses, inflation-linked price escalations and, in certain cases, provisions designed to mitigate foreign exchange risk.
In addition to the other types of MLA described above, we also operate sites owned by an MNO through Managed with License to Lease Agreements. Where there is an MLL agreement, we have the right to lease out space on the tower to other MNOs and provide services, generating further revenue for us. The site owner reduces its operating costs, eliminates capital expenditures and frees up management time.
Our MLL agreements typically have a term of 15 years with a five-year renewal period. Our two current MLL Agreements also grant the Tenant the option to withdraw from five sites per year, not to exceed 50 sites across the full term, and provided there is no other Tenant on each site. As of December 31, 2022, the average remaining duration of our two MLL agreements was 5.5 years and the total number of Tenants on sites operated under MLL agreements is approximately 3,439.
The table below outlines collectively the typical key contract terms of our customer lease agreements with our Key Customers as of December 31, 2022:

In March 2023, we renewed our contract with a Key Customer in Cameroon until March 2033.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, 40% of our revenue was linked to the U.S. dollar, 11% of our revenue was linked to the euro and 8% of our revenue was linked to the cost of power through power indexation or power pass-through clauses. However, the manner in which these revenues are linked differs by lease agreement. The U.S. dollar-linked contracts with U.S. dollar revenue components typically have a formula for determining the U.S. dollar to local currency exchange rate over a period of time. For example, for the majority of MLAs in Nigeria, the U.S. dollar component of the monthly lease fee is converted to Naira for settlement at a fixed conversion rate for a stated period of time. The conversion rate in such MLAs is reset after a period of one month, three months, six months or a maximum of 12 months. Of our 40% of revenue linked to the U.S. dollar for the year ended December 31, 2022, 4% reset on a monthly basis, 87% reset on a quarterly basis, 3% reset on a semi-annual basis and 7% reset on an annual basis. While we reached agreement in 2020 with our Key Customers in Nigeria to update the reference exchange rate in our contracts to the prevailing market rate available on Bloomberg (which has typically been aligned to the NAFEX rate), historically, the conversion rates included in some of our MLAs was different to the rates at which our financial results have been translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. For example, as described under Item 3.D. "Risk Factors — Risk Relating to our Business — The existence of multiple foreign exchange markets with different exchange rates may impact the rate at which our operating subsidiaries' financial results are translated into U.S. dollars for group reporting purposes, which may impact our financial condition and/or results of operations," in April 2017, the CBN introduced a new foreign exchange window for investors and exporters that resulted in the conversion rates for our MLAs for our Nigerian operations to be different from the rates at which our financial results were translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. As of January 1, 2018, our financial results in Nigeria are translated into U.S. dollars based on the NAFEX rate, which differed from the rates included in some of our MLAs until the amendments
73
Table of Contents
to the contracts with certain of our Key Customers in Nigeria to update the reference exchange rates therein to the prevailing market rate available on Bloomberg. Certain of our other contracts, such as in Côte d'Ivoire and Cameroon, are linked to foreign currencies such as the euro because they are based on local currencies that are "pegged" to such foreign currencies. In South Africa, Kuwait and Latin America, our MLAs are based on local currency pricing with no direct foreign exchange link or conversion mechanism. See also Item 3.D. "Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — We and our customers face foreign exchange risks, which may be material."
We also benefit from power indexation and power pass-through clauses in some of our MLAs. Such power indexation clauses provide pass-through provisions in relation to increased diesel prices. For example, in certain MLAs where there is a certain percentage increase or decrease in the per liter price of diesel above or below an agreed base price, such percentage increase or decrease is also applied to a portion of the full monthly lease fee. Some of our MLAs also have power-pass through clauses, where the cost of electricity charged by a utility provider is passed through to the customer. These provisions help us mitigate exposure to volatility in power costs including diesel prices. For the year ended December 31, 2022, 8% of revenue was linked to the cost of power through power indexation or power pass-through clauses.
Except for certain material events of default, our MLAs may only be terminated prior to the agreed termination date according to the agreed notice period. As a result, we believe that revenue earned from lease fees provide a highly visible and recurring revenue stream. As of December 31, 2022, the average remaining length of our MLAs was 6.6 years, with an average remaining lease term of 7.6 years.
While a number of the MLAs with our customers are deemed automatically renewed if not cancelled by the stated expiration date, we regularly keep upcoming renewal or expiry dates under review, and engage in discussions with customers from time-to-time regarding such matters. For instance, an MLA with a customer in Cote d'Ivoire is up for renewal in the first half of 2023 with renewal discussions ongoing, MLAs with certain customers in Zambia and Rwanda are up for renewal in 2024 and MLAs with certain customers in Nigeria and Zambia are up for renewal in 2025.
We expect that our MLAs and MLLs will generally experience a high renewal rate because (i) the locations of many of the Towers are critical to the efficient and cost effective operation of the Tenants' telecommunications networks, (ii) there are cost and time implications to our customers associated with re-configuring antenna equipment across multiple towers when relocating, (iii) there is often a lack of alternative sites and other operators within a required proximity, and (iv) there are site acquisition, regulatory compliance issues and other barriers associated with the construction of New Sites and the relocation of antenna equipment.
Site Lease Agreements
In addition to the MLA, where a customer requests new space for additional Colocation or New Sites, pursuant to some of our existing MLAs, we sometimes also enter into one or more SLAs with that customer, which include certain site-specific arrangements. The tenure of an SLA varies between 5 and 10 years depending on the length of the underlying MLA and typically includes renewal clauses based on certain agreed conditions. The material commercial terms will be agreed in the relevant MLA, with the SLA including site-specific terms such as equipment loading.
Renewals of SLAs are generally linked to the extension of the term of the related MLA.
Lease Fees
Lease fees for the services we provide are normally invoiced to Tenants in advance or arrears on a monthly or quarterly basis. The average lease fee received from a new tenant is generally fixed for the initial term of the MLA or MLL, which generally include an annual inflation-linked escalation, and cover:
●
Power requirements;
●
Amount of ground and tower space that the Tenants
'
equipment and specifications require, including the size of the tenant
'
s antenna equipment located on the tower and the ground space necessary for the tenant
'
s electronic and other equipment related to the antenna; and
●
Site location.
For certain customers, we also charge lease fees on the basis of the type of technology employed by the customer, which includes a defined amount of space and power as necessary for such technology. In most cases, additional fees may be
74
Table of Contents
invoiced if such customers require additional space and/or power in excess of these specifications, subject to the terms of the relevant MLA.
Managed Services
For sites that we do not own but operate on behalf of another party, such as an MNO, we provide Managed Services. Managed Services include providing all aspects of preventative and corrective maintenance and site management. We provide our customers with Managed Services through a combination of in-house personnel and third-party contractors.
In South Africa, as a result of the MTN SA Acquisition, we also provide power Managed Services regarding back-up power to a number of sites.
In Kuwait, until the necessary documentation for the transfer of approximately 222 sites are available and we accept such sites, these sites are operated and managed by us under a Managed Services agreement. Once transferred, these sites will fall under the scope of the MLA signed with Zain Kuwait.
Real Property Leases
Most of our sites are located on real property which has been leased to us by individual landowners under ground lease agreements. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 88% of our Towers were on leased property. See Item 4.D. "Property, Plants and Equipment." Most of our real property leases have durations of 3 to 15 years, and in Kuwait a certain number of our leases with local cooperatives tend to be for one year. The table below shows the number of sites we lease for our Towers and the average lease duration, by country, as of December 31, 2022.

The ground lease contracts that we enter into vary across our markets in terms of the contract structure, tenor and payment frequency. In most of the African markets in which we operate (excluding South Africa), ground lease fees are generally paid in advance, for a one, five, or ten-year portion of the overall duration of the lease, with typically pre-agreed lease fee increases of between 3% and 40% for each subsequent three, five or ten-year period. In our South Africa business where we also have multi-year ground lease contracts, we typically pay our ground leases fees monthly in advance. Since advance payments for ground lease fees typically represent a substantial rental yield for the landlord, in our experience, ground leases are, in most cases, not difficult to obtain or renew. In our Latin American businesses, the lease costs are typically paid monthly in arrear and passed through to the customers.
Our ground leases are typically renewed between three and 12 months prior to expiration. If terminated by the landlord, the unearned portion of the rent is typically reimbursed to us. In the last few years, we have sought to purchase the freehold interest in the tower site land rather than maintain the lease interest. As of December 31, 2022, we own the land for 9% of our sites.
Sales and Marketing
We aim to generate additional Colocation and Lease Amendments through actively promoting tower sharing in our markets. We offer the largest portfolios in many of the countries in which we operate and use our experience and expertise to enable our customers to broaden their range of network leasing options. Our sales and marketing team is in regular discussions with customers to identify whether the existing Towers can fulfill new tenancy demand, or if the customers may require a New Site. In many cases, customers prefer a Colocation option due to a faster time-to-market advantage. However, our
75
Table of Contents
expertise in site acquisition, construction, and structural and electrical engineering, as well as regulatory compliance, has been a critical component in obtaining and completing New Site orders on time and within budget.
Our sales and marketing department has the following responsibilities:
(i)
New business development, focusing on maximizing Colocation, Lease Amendments and New Site opportunities based on the customer
'
s roll out plans;
(ii)
Maintaining and growing business relationships with existing Tenants;
(iii)
Collecting feedback regarding the quality of the service and providing prompt assistance in order to maintain the customer
'
s satisfaction;
(iv)
Negotiating commercial contracts, including lease fees, with customers on competitive terms and ensuring accurate billing and timely collection; and
(v)
Processing customers
'
acceptance of sites and examining the creditworthiness of new customers.
Customers
Our main customers in each country of operations are leading MNOs in that country. In addition, and to a much smaller extent, we lease space on our Towers to customers providing wireless broadband and data services, to broadcasting companies that use tower infrastructure in the broadcast of television signals, to transmission companies that provide transmission connectivity services and to corporates for the provision of enterprise connectivity. See Item 3.D. "Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a small number of MNOs. Non-performance under or termination, non-renewal or material modification of customer lease agreements with these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations."

As of December 31, 2022, Key Customer Tenants accounted for 93% of our tenant base, with other customer Tenants accounting for the other 7%.
Churn
Churn refers to the loss of tenancies when services provided by us are terminated, a tenant does not renew its contract or we have ceased recognizing revenue for sites under a customer's contract. For example, a tenant may Churn if the MLA or SLA is not renewed at the end of its term, the customer ceases operations or switches to a competing tower company. Other than a customer Churning at the end of the term of its MLA or SLA, our MLAs generally contain limited termination clauses. Certain of our customer agreements also contain a contractual right to Churn a limited number of sites each year without penalty. When we decommission a site and move a customer from one of our sites to another site to rationalize our portfolio, this is not included in Churn.
We experienced Churn in the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, of 603, 1,283 and 381 Tenants, respectively. The Churn that we have historically experienced from our Key Customers has been limited.

Suppliers
We purchase a variety of structural and fabricated products, mechanical and electrical equipment including batteries, generators, power systems and solar systems, electronic equipment such as remote monitoring systems, and diesel fuel to manage our network operations. We operate a procurement and supply chain network with dedicated employees across the countries in which we operate. Our procurement and supply chain operations aim to take advantage of opportunities to leverage our scale across the countries in which we operate, as appropriate, to try to optimize the efficiency of our supply network in a sustainable manner. We purchase from a variety of suppliers and aim to develop the sourcing based in such a way that these products are available from multiple suppliers.
​
Competition
We believe that competition in the tower infrastructure industry in emerging and less developed markets (including markets such as the Middle East and Latin America) is based on, among other things, power management expertise, tower location, relationships with telecommunications operators, tower quality and height, pricing and ability to offer additional services to tenants and operational performance, as well as the size of a company's site portfolio and its ability to access efficient capital. We compete with other global tower companies, both for new business and for the acquisition of assets.
We believe we are the market leader in Africa by tower count as of December 31, 2022, with 30,845 towers. ATC is our primary competitor in Africa among independent tower companies, including in Nigeria and South Africa, and Helios Towers Plc and SBA are other notable competitors in Africa. In Brazil, the competitive landscape is wider as of December 31, 2022, with ATC and SBA owning more towers than we do as of December 31, 2022, and numerous smaller tower companies of similar size to or smaller than our business. The Brazilian and South African competitive landscapes present opportunities for consolidation. We also compete to a lesser extent with telecommunications operators who have retained their own towers and continue to manage them and make them available for Colocation. In certain circumstances, we also compete with owners of alternative site structures such as building rooftops, outdoor and indoor DAS networks, billboards and electric transmission towers. In addition, there may be increased competition in the future from other independent tower companies operating in, or that may enter, our markets. In particular, we may face competition in Latin America from other operators who may have a substantially larger site portfolio or have operated in the region for a longer period of time than we have.
In our Nigeria and SSA segments, we have over the years built many New Sites for our major customers. In Brazil, New Sites forms a key part of our organic growth strategy and prior to the CSS Acquisition, the CSS business was a market leader in New Site volumes. For further information regarding the competitive landscape of the tower industry and related risks, please refer to Item 3.D. "Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — Increased competition in the tower infrastructure industry may materially and adversely affect our business."
Permits and Regulation
Overview
We are subject to regulatory requirements relating to licensing and registration in most of the countries in which we operate. The regulations and procedures guiding the operation, location and leasing of telecommunications towers are generally drawn from national, state and local legislation, regulations and administrative consents from the relevant government or governmental authorities in each jurisdiction in which we operate.
In each relevant jurisdiction, specific consents and/or permits are required to erect and own masts and towers. These consents generally relate to building or construction permits, property or land use permits, environmental permits and aviation clearance permits. As we continue to expand our offering to include services like fiber connectivity, rural offerings and other verticals, we may be subject to increased regulatory, license and permit obligations (including in respect of active telecommunications elements that may comprise part of the arrangements with customers). Non-compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, licenses, consents and permits may lead to shut down and/or decommissioning orders relating to the sites and/or monetary fines and/or an inability to continue our business or pursue new business lines or investments.
License to operate
Most of the jurisdictions in which we currently operate have a license or authorization regime to operate a passive communications infrastructure business. Where applicable, licenses or authorizations are issued by the relevant national

Land Use
In most of the countries in which we operate, a building permit from the relevant public authority, such as the municipality or local district, is sufficient for building a telecommunications tower. The number of permits, payments and consents relating to land usage tends to be higher in Nigeria and Brazil, largely due to the administrative structure of the Nigerian government (generally divided between federal, state and local government authorities). In Rwanda, RURA operates as the single provider of all relevant permits and grants any relevant building permit relating to sites after permissions or non-objections have been received from local and environmental authorities.
Consequences for failure to obtain building or construction permits may include a requirement to dismantle a tower which, in some areas, such as Lagos state in Nigeria, may be at the expense of the owner of the tower.
In addition to the permits and authorizations referred to above, we must enter into agreements relating to the right of land usage for each site on which a tower is located. This can take the form of a lease agreement, a concession agreement or title documentation for those sites where we have acquired the underlying land. In some countries, such as Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire and Nigeria, a lease agreement needs to be registered with the relevant authorities. See "— Real Property Leases."
Civil Aviation
Aviation regulations may apply to the building and operation of towers. While in the majority of cases, aviation regulations provide for a one-off clearance by the respective civil aviation authority prior to the construction of a site located in the vicinity of an airport, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has a broader remit and requires a yearly renewal approval certificate in addition to prior consent before the construction of towers and masts installed within 15 kilometers of any airport, or within the proximity of helicopter pads and their approaches.
The Brazilian Civil Aviation Authority requires tower sites to obtain an approval certificate that must be renewed yearly. The Civil Aviation regulation in our other countries of operation typically encompasses an obligation to provide security lighting on towers and/or to paint them a certain color.
Others
In most of the countries where we operate, zoning restrictions and certain other restrictions may apply to tower construction. Any applicable radius requirements will largely depend on whether the construction is in an urban or rural area, and sometimes on the height of the structure. For example, in Nigeria, towers in excess of 55 meters in height may not be built within a one kilometer radius of another tower without the Nigerian Communications Commission's prior consent, and there may also be set-back requirements based on distance to certain controlled access areas, roads or high voltage power transmission lines; in Cameroon, the minimum distance required between sites is generally 750 meters in residential areas and two kilometers in non-residential areas; and in Rwanda, the minimum distance required between sites is generally 500 meters in urban areas and one kilometer in rural areas.
In addition to the main licenses, permits and consents listed above, additional regulations may also apply to certain operations. For example, depending on the location of a site, a Lagos State Infrastructure Maintenance Agency (previously the Urban Furniture Regulatory Unit) consent may be required in Nigeria, which may require a tower to be painted a certain color or to be disguised, and the Federal Capital Development Authority may require a tower situated in Abuja to be disguised.

Environmental Regulation
Our operations are subject to various national, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to the management, use, storage, disposal, emission and remediation of, and exposure to, hazardous and non-hazardous substances, materials and wastes and the siting of our Towers. We may be required to obtain permits, pay additional property taxes, comply with regulatory requirements and make certain informational filings related to hazardous substances or devices used to provide power such as batteries, generators and diesel at our sites. See Item 3.D. "Risk Factors — Risks Relating to our Business — We could have liability under health, safety and environmental laws."
While no specific environmental authorizations are required to build or operate Towers in Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire and Kuwait, specific regulations and authorizations apply in our other markets. In Rwanda and Zambia, the construction of a site requires a one-off prior approval from several environmental and local government authorities (the permit is ultimately granted by RURA, which is the single approver for all regulatory authorizations for our activities in Rwanda, and the Zambia Environmental Management Agency for our activities in Zambia). Similarly, in Brazil, Colombia and Peru, prior approval from the local environmental agency may be required before any new site is built and additional environmental authorizations might be required for sites built in protected areas. In Nigeria, environmental authorizations are required at two stages: the Federal Ministry of Environment requires an Environmental Impact Assessment to be issued prior to the construction of a site and every three years after a site is built an Environmental Audit Certificate needs to be issued or renewed by the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency in respect of such site. In South Africa, the construction of a site requires a one-off environment permit prior approval from the Department of Environmental Affairs.
Insurance
We have insurance policies in relation to (i) property damage, business interruption and erection/construction, (ii) political violence, (iii) third-party liability and (iv) directors' and officers' liability.
We maintain an all-risks policy for property damage, business interruption and erection/construction. This policy covers against losses that might arise from damage or loss to the tower infrastructure, including earthquakes, windstorms and floods. A political violence policy was also purchased to cover material damage and business interruption caused by terrorist or sabotage acts. We also carry a general third-party liability policy, covering third-party property damage and third-party personal injury where we are found to be legally liable.
Each of our insurance policies is subject to contractual terms and conditions, limits of indemnity, deductibles and exclusions and therefore we may be prevented from recovering in full for losses or damages that we may suffer.
Sustainability Program
Through our business model, we aim to make a positive impact in society and promote shared values. Our investment in communications infrastructure aims to help connect individuals, businesses and communities to one another. As mobile connectivity reaches more people, and is consumed in more diverse modes, it creates more jobs, and greater opportunities for people, businesses and communities to thrive and prosper. As a critical element of the telecommunications value chain in our markets, we help deliver connectivity across our eleven-country footprint, which has a combined population of approximately 770 million people. This is crucial in emerging and less developed markets where the need for digital infrastructure and connectivity is particularly high. We provide infrastructure to be shared by multiple customers, rather than duplicating investment and infrastructure build.
Additionally, our business model allows us to tackle significant community issues through providing our infrastructure, such as a lack of reliable power in our African markets and an over reliance on GHG emitting diesel generators, as well as a lack of digital connectivity in rural communities. To reduce our carbon footprint and provide better end service to our customers, we have historically invested in carbon reductions solutions such as batteries, solar and other clean energy sources at our sites.
●
We published our Carbon Reduction Roadmap which provided a comprehensive strategy for decreasing our operational emissions, including a goal to reduce the Scope 1 and Scope 2 kilowatt-hour emissions intensity of its tower portfolio by 50% by 2030, using 2021 emissions data as the baseline, which we will review as we expand into new markets or encompass growth, or as needed to reflect significant changes in our organization. Under Project Green, the next significant step of our Carbon Reduction Roadmap, we expect to spend $214 million in capital expenditure towards these efforts between 2022 and 2024. Emissions and financial savings are planned to
80
Table of Contents
be achieved by connecting more sites to the electricity grid and via the deployment and integration of battery storage and solar panel solutions. In scope for Project Green are our operations in Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Kuwait, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Zambia.
In 2021, approximately 73% of our sites in Africa had access to grid, hybrid, and/or solar solutions. Following the completion of Project Green in 2025, we expect just 9% of our sites in Africa (excluding Egypt and South Africa) to rely solely on generators, while the remaining 91% are expected to have a combination of other power sources including grid, hybrid, and/or solar solutions. By deploying these solutions, we hope to both help limit outages and further decarbonize our footprint by reducing generator run-time. We currently anticipate additional efforts will be needed to achieve our 2030 emissions intensity goal and plan to consider various options as we roll out efforts to complete Project Green.
●
We continued to expand our rural telephony network services in Nigeria. This solution aims to provide remote communities with 2G and 3G voice and data access so that they can benefit from the socioeconomic opportunities made available by mobile connectivity. By deploying an efficient solar-powered network solution, connected by dedicated very-small-aperture terminal transmission links, as of December 31, 2022, we have established a total of 485 operational rural telephony sites, all powered exclusively by solar.
●
We announced our Group-wide partnership with UNICEF on their worldwide Giga initiative. Giga is a partnership between UNICEF's Office of Innovation and ITU's Telecommunications Development Bureau, which aims to connect schools worldwide to the internet. Under our three-year partnership, we committed a $4.5 million donation and contribution-in-kind to strengthen Giga's work to map schools and their connectivity levels on an
open-source map
, using machine learning and satellite imagery.
As providers of communications infrastructure, we play an important and unique role in Giga's partner ecosystem. Under the 'contribution-in-kind' component of our partnership, we supplied data on all IHS sites in five of our African markets, including tower location, site type, tower height, power topology and technology available. This data has helped Giga accelerate their
mapping capabilitie
s and determine the most efficient and effective ways to connect schools to the internet. The data has also been used to inform and support governments and other stakeholders in the decision-making process for school connectivity.
●
We entered the second year of our Frontline Workers Initiative, a philanthropic program designed to provide education scholarships for children of our frontline workers. In 2022, we granted scholarships to 18 students from Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire and Nigeria studying in various countries in Africa, as well as Australia and Ireland. Of these, nine are women and three are siblings of students who received scholarships in the initial 2021 cohort.
Our four-pillar strategy
In addition to the sustainability considerations inherent in our business model and helping the digital agenda in our 11 countries of operation advance through infrastructure provision, to support further sustainable growth, we have also developed a sustainability strategy built on four pillars: (i) environment and climate change, (ii) education and economic growth, (iii) our people and communities and (iv) ethics and governance. Each year, our in-country teams assess local community needs through the lens of these four pillars to help develop our in-country sustainability programs, aiming to identify clear actions and commitments for relevant projects.
Education is a significant priority for our in-country teams, as we believe education is key to social and economic development. We recognize the importance of fostering wider community support, particularly in poorer regions where access to education is significantly more limited. We also believe in improving educational facilities to provide the right learning environment. We concentrate many of our community-building initiatives on strengthening local education systems, particularly in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, in part to help foster the future talent of our industry. We partner with NGOs, universities and governments to provide young people with practical exposure to STEM subjects and contribute to improved teaching in schools. As many STEM-related professions are traditionally male-dominated, we also seek to develop programs that focus exclusively on providing young girls and women with access and opportunity to relevant learning and training.
●
Through our Mission-T application, IHS Nigeria is investing in connectivity and digital learning resources to address such issues in the education sector. Mission-T features educational content alongside high-quality lesson plans in information and communications technology (ICT), coding, and robotics to supplement teaching and learning. This intervention also includes a teacher training program and continued learning through quarterly webinars. As of December 31, 2022, the app was used in nine Nigerian states, reaching 3,137 teachers, 2,231 schools, and over 550,000 students.

IHS Nigeria collaborated with UNICEF on their Generation Unlimited 9JA program, supporting their aim of reaching 20 million young Nigerians with education, skills training, and employment opportunities by 2030. With the participation from Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Education and other private sector stakeholders, Generation Unlimited 9JA launched the Learning Passport in 2022. This learning platform provided continuous education to approximately three million learners in 2022 alone and is expected to reach 12 million by 2025.

In Latin America, we sponsored education bootcamps run by Laboratoria, an organization created to help empower women looking to forge careers in technology disciplines. Run in Brazil, Colombia and Peru, these coding bootcamps train women in front-end development and UX design. In addition to providing funding, female IHS employees are serving as mentors to participants in Brazil and Peru. Our aim is to provide insight into our industry and support more women as they look to pursue technology and ICT related careers.

In Brazil, where social inequality is pronounced, we partnered with the cultural NGO Afroreggae to develop educational centers in two favelas in Rio de Janeiro. Many residents of favelas do not have access to PCs, mobile phones or the internet, but by offering access to online games, the centers are able to attract youth which benefit from free coding and English classes in an environment that promotes further study and development. In 2022, approximately 200 young people participated.
​
●
Since 2017, we have refurbished more than 50 classrooms and build ICT laboratories in multiple schools. In 2022, we continued our school renovation programs to focus on additional facilities such as school canteens or hygiene facilities. In Cameroon, under our "Back to School" program we commissioned the building of a block of six toilets at Kwamb Primary School in the East Region. In Rwanda, in partnership with UNICEF Rwanda, we sponsored the construction of an early childhood development center in Northern Rwanda, which will care for 80 children aged 1-3 years old and is equipped with play and learning materials.
​
Beyond education, a key priority for us is safeguarding and enhancing healthcare provisions. While most societies have learned to manage through COVID-19, we continue to provide healthcare initiatives in our communities in multiple ways and often work in partnership with international NGOs. In Cameroon, we secured the country's first private sector partnership with U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and have provided funding to support their work in national malaria response initiatives.
Under our Generator Recycling Program, we refurbish old generators from our sites and donate them to schools, orphanages, hospitals, medical and community centers. Since the program launched in 2017, we have donated approximately 350 generators as of December 31, 2022, across our African markets providing a power source where electricity grids are often intermittent and unreliable. In Kuwait, we entered the second year of air-conditioning recycling program. Building on the 15 recycled units donated to the public-benefit society Balad Al-Khair in 2021, we
donated funds to procure new, highly efficient air conditioning units, benefiting dozens more families.
​
We are committed to supporting the professional development of all our employees. We aim to enable them to build the skills and knowledge required to enhance their careers at IHS. In 2017, we launched the IHS Academy, an online training portal which, as of December 31, 2022, had more than 14,000 training items available including e-learning courses, videos, how-to guides and other training materials across a variety of areas including professional skills, personal development skills, management, leadership and teamworking skills, as well as a selection of health, safety, environment and compliance courses. In 2022, our employees completed 83,463 e-learning items.
​
We have continued to expand our Women In IHS Network, or WIIN, mentoring program, as part of our commitment to increase gender diversity in our workforce. With over 35 mentoring pairs formed in the year, this program provides opportunity for all IHS female employees to be mentored and aims to help facilitate new professional relationships, enabling mentees to build networks and improve skillsets. Following the success of our WIIN program, we broadened mentoring opportunities and, in 2022, launched Engage and Elevate, a new program providing mentoring opportunities for all employees to learn from, and network with, their peers. Additionally, we are piloting a reverse mentoring scheme whereby senior business leaders are matched and 'mentored' by junior colleagues, with the aim of increasing lines of communication and helping all employees be heard.
Finally, ethics is at the heart of all we do, and we are committed to acting with integrity and honesty in everything we do.  Our corporate structure provides a strong governance foundation, which is driven from the Board down through the organization. Our Board committee structure is detailed in Item 6.C. "Board Practices."  We also publish an annual Sustainability Report.

The information called for by this Item 5, including a discussion of the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 has been reported previously in our Annual Report on Form 20-F/A filed on August 16, 2022 under the Section "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects".
Overview
We are one of the largest independent owners, operators and developers of shared communications infrastructure in the world, providing our customers, most of whom are leading MNOs, with critical infrastructure that facilitates mobile communications coverage and connectivity for approximately 770 million people in emerging markets, across three regions and eleven countries. We are the largest independent multinational emerging-market-only tower operator and one of the largest independent multinational tower operators globally, in each case by tower count. As of December 31, 2022, we operated 39,652 Towers across seven countries in Africa, three countries in Latin America and one country in the Middle East. We are the largest tower operator in seven of the eleven markets in which we operate and we are the only independent tower operator of scale in four of these markets
.
​
We have a well-defined organic and inorganic expansion strategy designed to grow in existing markets with our existing and new customers and, given the significant global emerging market opportunities in communications infrastructure, enter carefully selected growth oriented markets with compelling underlying fundamentals. Historically, our business has been predominantly focused on Towers, however we recently started complementing this with investment into adjacent communications infrastructure offerings for our customers such as fiber connectivity. In March 2022, we acquired 2,115 Towers pursuant to the GTS SP5 Acquisition. In May 2022, we closed the transaction with MTN South Africa to acquire its tower portfolio comprising of 5,691 Towers and for the provision of power Managed Services to MTN South Africa. In September 2022, IHS Kuwait completed the fifth stage of the acquisition from Zain Kuwait comprising of 43 Towers
.
Each of these acquisitions supports our inorganic growth strategy of expanding into additional regions that meet our investment criteria, which opens up new markets that we believe will provide future organic and inorganic growth opportunities.
Our core business is providing shared communications infrastructure services to MNOs and other customers, who in turn provide wireless voice, data and fiber access services to their end users and subscribers. We provide our customers with opportunities to lease space on existing Towers alongside current Tenants, known as Colocation, to install additional equipment on a Tower or request certain ancillary services, known as Lease Amendments, or to commission the construction of new Towers to the customer's specifications, known as New Sites. Additionally, we lease space to our customers in secure locations within large building complexes, such as shopping malls, stadiums and airports, which we refer to as in-building solutions, or IBS, or distributed antenna systems, or DAS, as well as provide fiber connectivity. In certain strategic instances, we may also provide Managed Services, such as maintenance, security and power supply for Towers owned by third parties. As of December 31, 2022, our owned and operated tower portfolio supported 58,573 Tenants, with a Colocation Rate of 1.48x.
Our primary customers are the leading MNOs in each of our markets. We also provide infrastructure and services to a number of other communications service providers. Our success in establishing deep customer relationships and operational excellence has enabled us to grow both organically and through 22 transactions, building a footprint that currently covers Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Rwanda, South Africa, Zambia, Brazil, Peru, Colombia and Kuwait.
Reportable Segments
Our operations are organized into four segments, which reflect the way our chief operating decision maker, or CODM, is provided with financial information which aligns to internal regional management organizational reporting lines and responsibilities and the way in which the CODM analyzes performance and allocates resources. Our operating segments are Nigeria, which comprises our operations in Nigeria; Sub Saharan Africa, or SSA, which comprises our operations in Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Rwanda, South Africa and Zambia; Latin America, or Latam, which comprises our operations in Brazil, Colombia and Peru; and the Middle East and North Africa, or MENA, which comprises our operations in Kuwait and Egypt. Although full operations in Egypt have not commenced, the business has incurred some startup costs.
We use revenue and Segment Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of our reportable segments. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is our principal segment measure of profitability.

Our Revenue
We measure revenue in three categories, namely (i) organic, (ii) inorganic and (iii) non-core.
Organic revenue captures the performance of our existing business without the impact of new tower portfolios or businesses acquired since the beginning of the prior year period (except as described as inorganic below). Specifically, organic revenue captures the impact of (i) new Colocation and Lease Amendments; (ii) changes in pricing including from contractual lease fee escalation, power indexation and foreign exchange resets; (iii) New Site construction; (iv) fiber connectivity and (v) any impact of Churn and decommissioning. In the case of an acquisition of new tower portfolios or businesses, the impact of any incremental revenue after the date of acquisition from new Colocation and Lease Amendments or changes in pricing on the Towers acquired, including from contractual lease fee escalation and foreign exchange resets, is also captured within organic revenue.
Inorganic revenue captures the impact on revenue from existing Tenants of new tower portfolios or businesses that we have acquired since the beginning of the prior period (except as described above). Where tower portfolios or businesses were acquired during the current period under review, inorganic revenue is calculated as the revenue contribution from those acquisitions in their "at acquisition" state (measured as the local currency revenue generated during the first full month following the acquisition) in the current period. This treatment continues for 12 months following acquisition. In March 2022, we acquired an aggregate of 2,115 Towers in Brazil, pursuant to the GTS SP5 Acquisition, which added 2,998 Tenants. In May 2022, we completed the MTN SA Acquisition, which added 5,691 Towers and 7,017 Tenants and includes an agreement for the provision of power Managed Services to MTN SA. In September 2022, IHS Kuwait completed the fifth stage of the acquisition from Zain Kuwait comprising of 43 Towers and 43 Tenants. We therefore have inorganic revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.
Non-core captures the impact of movements in foreign exchange rates on the translation of the results of our local operations from their local functional currency into U.S. dollars, which is measured by the difference in U.S. dollars between (i) revenue in local currency converted at the average foreign exchange rate for that period and (ii) revenue in local currency converted at the average foreign exchange rate for the prior period. This foreign currency impact is then partially compensated for in subsequent periods by foreign exchange reset mechanisms, which are captured in organic revenue.
The organic and non-core components of our revenue cannot be considered independently from each other in assessing, for instance, what the impact on organic revenue would have been in the absence of change in the foreign exchange rate. In fact, the periodic (quarterly, semi-annually or annually) nature of our reset mechanisms is such that there is a delay between the period during which a change in foreign exchange rate occurs and the next contractual reset occurs.
Foreign exchange resets are generally included in MLAs where lease fees are linked to currencies other than the local currency (for example, MLAs in Nigeria with U.S. dollar components). MLAs with foreign exchange resets typically contain a mechanism for determining the foreign exchange rate for a set period at which the lease fee linked to the non-local currency (such as U.S. dollar) is translated into local currency and invoiced to the customer. In such cases, the foreign exchange rate determined by this mechanism is reset quarterly, semi-annually or annually.
The foreign exchange resets function such that the portion of lease fees that is linked to U.S. dollars and the portion of lease fees that is linked to local currency are fixed in local currency for the contractual period between reset dates (for example, for a period of one year if the reset is annual). As a result, in the event of a devaluation, there is a delay between the timing of the devaluation and the next contractual reset.
During the period between the date of the devaluation and the date of the reset, all of our revenue (i.e., both revenue that is contractually linked to the U.S. dollar and revenue that is contractually linked to local currency) would reflect the new, devalued foreign exchange rate. When the reset is effected, the amount relating to the portion of the lease fees linked to the U.S. dollar, which is invoiced in local currency, is adjusted upward.
In addition, the conversion rates included in our MLAs may also be different from the rates at which our financial results are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes.
This has resulted in a situation where there are differing exchange rates in the market and we are required to regularly monitor and evaluate which exchange rate is most appropriate to apply in the translation of the Naira books of our Nigerian operations to U.S. dollars for our consolidated group reporting purposes. The determination of which is the most appropriate rate to use at the relevant time we produce financial information will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, availability and liquidity in the market generally. The foreign exchange rate that we determine to be the most appropriate
85
Table of Contents
for the translation of our results for group reporting purposes may also differ from the conversion rates contained within our contracts.
In 2020, we reached an agreement with some of our Key Customers in Nigeria to update the reference exchange rate in our contracts to the prevailing market rate available on Bloomberg (which has typically been aligned to the NAFEX rate), should similar circumstances arise again (or continue to exist where there is a divergence between the applicable market rate or translation rates for our financial results and the exchange rates reflected in our contracts with customers, or a divergence between the prevailing market rate on Bloomberg and other exchange rates in the market, including NAFEX), there is no guarantee that we will be able to renegotiate these contracts or enter into new contracts to fully protect against such foreign exchange risks. In addition, other measures taken by the relevant authorities and/or the CBN may further impact the rates available in the market, and we may need to consider such measures for the purposes of our accounts.
While a number of the MLAs with our customers are deemed automatically renewed if not cancelled by the stated expiration date, we regularly keep upcoming renewal or expiry dates under review, and engage in discussions with customers from time-to-time regarding such matters. For instance, an MLA with a customer in Cote d'Ivoire is up for renewal in the first half of 2023 with renewal discussions ongoing, MLAs with certain customers in Zambia and Rwanda are up for renewal in 2024 and MLAs with certain customers in Nigeria and Zambia are up for renewal in 2025. No assurance can be given that our customers will renew their customer lease agreements upon expiration of those agreements or that customers will not request unfavorable amendments to existing agreements, or that we will be successful in negotiating favorable terms with these customers.
Factors Affecting Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Our financial condition and results of operations have been, and will continue to be, affected by a number of important factors, including the following:
New Colocation and Lease Amendments
Colocation and Lease Amendments are key drivers of incremental organic revenue in communications infrastructure sharing. Colocation involves adding new tenants to existing sites, where the addition of an incremental tenant to an existing site can introduce a full additional lease fee. Lease Amendments involve adding additional equipment or providing certain ancillary services at existing sites for existing Tenants and for a recurring lease fee. Examples of Lease Amendments include an existing customer taking more space on a tower, adding equipment for new technologies, such as 3G, 4G/LTE or 5G, adding additional microwave transmission or fiber infrastructure services, as well as certain ancillary services. A Lease Amendment typically increases revenue by a proportionally lower amount than a Colocation given such equipment typically consumes less space and power than a Colocation. However, gross margin contribution of a Lease Amendment is generally comparable to a Colocation.
Colocation and Lease Amendments improve overall gross margins, operating margins and cash flow given the limited incremental cost to deliver such services. Typically, the main incremental cost to deliver Colocation or Lease Amendments is $6,000 to $10,000 in one-off augmentation capital expenditure. Additionally, in our African markets, the main incremental ongoing cost for Colocation and Lease Amendments is power cost for the additional equipment or services. We continually seek to increase Colocation and Lease Amendments for our existing sites through an active sales and marketing process. Our sites that are either at or near structural capacity can also be strengthened to meet future leasing capacity with relatively minor capital investments.
The demand for Colocation and Lease Amendments from MNOs is driven by multiple communications industry characteristics within our individual markets. These characteristics include the MNOs' need for greater network coverage and network density due to existing capacity- constrained networks, a desire to improve quality-of-service, increasing subscriber demand for wireless voice and data services requiring a denser network than is the case for voice services, as well as changes in and the development of technologies in those markets.
Contractual lease fee escalation and foreign exchange resets
Our MLAs generally contain annual inflation-linked escalation provisions under which the underlying lease fees, and therefore our revenue, may increase each year. These contractual escalators are typically linked to the consumer price index, or CPI, of the country of operation and/or the United States, depending on the underlying currency denomination of the lease fee. Lease fee components priced in local currency typically have escalators linked to local CPI applied annually for the subsequent 12 months. Lease fee components priced in U.S. dollars typically have escalators linked to U.S. CPI
86
Table of Contents
applied annually for the subsequent 12 months. Our MLAs with certain customers are subject to fixed, capped or floored escalators.
Our MLAs sometimes contain a portion of lease fees which are linked to power indexation metrics including diesel and electricity prices.
Foreign exchange resets are generally included in MLAs where lease fees are linked to currencies other than the local currency (for example, MLAs in Nigeria with U.S. dollar components). For further discussion on these foreign exchange resets, please refer to "— Our Revenue."
New Site construction
New Site construction is a key driver of incremental organic revenue through the customer revenue we invoice from the date the New Site becomes ready for service. New Site construction is also a component of discretionary capital expenditure. Building New Sites requires capital expenditure, principally including materials for the tower, power equipment, land lease fees or land purchase fees, tower construction activities, including civil work, transportation and labor, as well as ongoing operational expenditures for site operation and maintenance. Therefore, construction of New Sites increases our capital expenditures and cost of sales. We pursue construction of New Sites as a key strategy in growing our tower portfolio and providing future capacity for Colocation and Lease Amendments. We do not engage in speculative building and only construct New Sites after obtaining a commitment for a long-term lease with an initial tenant and, in general, if we are aware of, or believe there is, commercial potential for Colocation.
Demand for New Sites from MNOs is typically driven by multiple communications industry characteristics within our individual markets. These characteristics include the MNOs' need for greater network coverage and network density due to existing capacity-constrained networks, a desire to improve quality-of-service, increasing subscriber demand for wireless voice and data services requiring a denser network than is the case for voice services, as well as changes in and the development of technologies in those markets. For example, we often see an increase in demand for New Sites as new technology is rolled out in markets, such as 3G or 4G.
New Sites constructed consist primarily of ground-based towers, but can also include in-building solutions / distributed antenna systems, rooftop towers and cells-on-wheels. These New Sites always begin operations with at least a single Tenant, with Colocation and Lease Amendments expected at future dates. The average cost to build a New Site in our African and Middle East markets is typically in the range of between $75,000 and $105,000, while in Latin America the cost is typically in the range of between $40,000 and $75,000 depending on the market of operation and specification of the tower.
Consequently, the construction of New Sites has a positive effect on revenue, and as Colocation and Lease Amendments occur on the tower, we expect to drive incremental organic revenue and have a positive effect on gross margins and operating margins.
Churn
Churn refers to the loss of tenancies when services provided by us are terminated, a Tenant does not renew its contract or we have ceased recognizing revenue on a site in any particular period, adjusted for the reintegration of previously lost tenancies. For example, a Tenant may Churn if the relevant MLA or SLA is not renewed at the end of its term, the customer ceases operations or switches to a competing tower company. Other than a customer Churning at the end of the term of its MLA or SLA, our MLAs generally contain limited termination clauses. Certain of our customer agreements also contain a contractual right to Churn a limited number of sites each year without penalty.
We experienced Churn in the year ended December 31, 2022 of 603 Tenants. The Churn that we have historically experienced from our Key Customers has been limited.
Decommissioning
In connection with the acquisition of portfolios of sites, we rationalize our portfolio where we have multiple towers in close proximity to each other. Where economically and commercially viable, we migrate Tenants from one tower onto a nearby tower as an additional Colocation and then subsequently decommission the empty site. Decommissioning spend is a component of discretionary capital expenditure. While the decommissioning of towers offsets our overall growth in the
87
Table of Contents
number of towers, it allows us to eliminate cost of sales and ongoing maintenance capital expenditures at the decommissioned towers. The retained sites benefit from lease fees relocated from the decommissioned site and generally only experience a marginal increase in cost of sales due to increased power consumption. The spend associated with decommissioning a site is approximately between $20,000 to $30,000. Since the beginning of 2018, we have decommissioned 339 Towers, and we continue to review our portfolio for further decommissioning opportunities.
Acquisitions of tower portfolios
The acquisition of tower portfolios and businesses from MNOs and independent tower companies results in incremental inorganic revenue during the period in which the acquisitions occur. Acquisitions of tower portfolios result in the immediate increase in the size of our overall portfolio and help expand our footprint in existing and new markets. Once towers are acquired, we receive revenue from the Tenants and Lease Amendments on such sites and we are responsible for future capital expenditures and costs of sales related to the sites. As we acquire new portfolios of towers, we may incur additional administrative expenses, particularly from acquisitions in new markets, which may impact our operating margins.
Currency exchange rate
Our operations are conducted by subsidiaries in Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Kuwait, Brazil, Colombia and Peru, and the functional currency of our operating subsidiaries are the Nigerian Naira (₦), West African CFA Franc (XOF), Central African CFA Franc (XAF), Zambian Kwacha (ZMW), Rwandan Franc (RWF), South African Rand (ZAR), Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD), Brazilian Real (BRL), Colombian Peso (COP), and Peruvian Sol (PEN), respectively. A foreign currency transaction is translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction (or the date of valuation where an item is re-measured). The foreign exchange gain or loss resulting from (i) the settlement of such transaction or (ii) the translation of a monetary asset or liability denominated in a foreign currency is recognized at the exchange rate at period end in the statement of income and comprehensive income.
Our operating subsidiaries' financial results are then translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. Income and expenses are translated at the monthly average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions). Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate at period end.
As a result of the translations described above, our results are impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we experienced depreciation of the BRL, NGN, RWF, XAF and XOF currencies compared to the U.S. dollar, being the primary reason for net foreign exchange losses of $163.6 million, reflected in financing costs. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we experienced depreciation of the NGN, RWF, XAF, XOF, ZAR and ZMW currencies and experienced an appreciation of the BRL, being the primary reasons for net foreign exchange losses of $365.1 million.
The reduction of foreign currency reserves in Nigeria, among other factors, led to a depreciation of the Naira NAFEX rate against the U.S. dollar from ₦410.3 to $1.00 as of January 1, 2021 to ₦435.0 to $1.00 as of December 31, 2021 and to ₦461.5 to $1.00 as of December 31, 2022. The BRL also depreciated against the U.S. dollar, from BRL5.2 to $1.00 as of January 1, 2021 to BRL5.6 to $1.00 as of December 31, 2021, but then appreciated against the U.S. dollar to BRL5.2 to $1.00 as of December 31, 2022.
Multiple foreign exchange markets with different exchange rates
In Nigeria, there are multiple exchange rates available and/or referenced by the applicable banking authorities. Where such differences exist, we may be required to change the exchange rate applied to the translation of the local currency books of our operating subsidiaries to U.S. dollars for our consolidated group reporting purposes. Where multiple official exchange rates exist, we assess the appropriate rate to use in accordance with the requirements of IFRS in translating foreign operations or foreign transactions. In determining the appropriate rate, we assess factors such as access to those rates in the future in order to meet payments or make dividends in the appropriate currency. In determining whether it is appropriate to move from one official rate to another, we consider the available rates in official markets for settlement of transactions.
For example, during 2017, CBN introduced a new foreign exchange window, which includes the NAFEX rate. This resulted in the use of several different official exchange rates in the market, leading us to assess that the NAFEX rate was the most appropriate exchange rate to apply in translating foreign currency transactions in our Nigerian businesses and in translating Naira amounts for group reporting purposes from December 31, 2017 onwards. As of May 31, 2021, the CBN ceased
88
Table of Contents
publishing what was the CBN rate, although with limited impact on us given that the NAFEX rate was the most widely used rate at this time. The CBN now publishes the NAFEX rate on its website.
As a result of switching to the NAFEX rate for translation of U.S. dollar denominated balances in our Nigerian subsidiaries and for consolidation purposes at December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, prior to the agreements that we reached with certain of our Key Customers in Nigeria to update the reference exchange rate in our contracts to the prevailing market rate available on Bloomberg, the rate used for translating our results for group reporting purposes had historically been higher than the conversion rates contained within our contracts in Nigeria. Most significantly, our contracts with MTN Nigeria previously contained clauses which determined that a portion of the lease fee paid to IHS Towers was based on a pre-agreed U.S. dollar lease fee converted into Naira at the time of invoicing at the prevailing CBN rate. On July 23, 2020, we amended these contracts with MTN Nigeria so that, among other things, the reference foreign exchange rate for converting the U.S. dollar portion of the lease fees into Naira was changed to the prevailing USD exchange rate of NAFEX, defined within the contracts with a reference to the USD/Naira rate published by Bloomberg. The effective date of the agreement with MTN Nigeria is April 1, 2020. However, the agreement with MTN Nigeria was concluded in July 2020 and, as such, the financial impact of any amendments to billing in the second quarter of 2020 resulting from the agreement were reflected in our results for the third quarter of 2020.
In 2020, the CBN rate that was used as the reference foreign exchange rate for determining the majority of our lease fees subject to the relevant reset mechanism was an average of NGN352.6 to $1.00, while the NAFEX rate used for our accounts was an average of NGN382.0 to $1.00. As a result, our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $1,403 million, respectively, was negatively impacted by the reduction in our lease fees received from MTN of approximately $19 million, respectively, as a result of using the CBN exchange rate as the reference exchange rate rather than the NAFEX exchange rate.
For further discussion on the impact of this change in exchange rates, please refer to "— Our Revenue."
Maintenance of sites
We incur capital expenditure in relation to the maintenance of our towers and fiber infrastructure, which is non-discretionary in nature and required in order for us to optimally run our portfolio and to perform in line with our service level agreements with customers. Maintenance capital expenditure includes the periodic repair and replacement of fixtures and fittings and power equipment at existing sites. A large component of maintenance capital expenditure is for the replacement and servicing of generators and batteries at our sites, which may decrease, should the grid availability in our markets improve. Maintenance capital expenditure per Tower is typically in the range of $2,000 to $7,000 per year in our African and Middle East markets. In addition to this corrective maintenance capital expenditure, maintenance costs are also incurred in cost of sales where these relate to preventive maintenance that includes the replacement of spare parts and routine checks. Maintenance capital expenditure in Latin America is typically lower given the current scope of maintenance required on Towers.
Typically, when we acquire a tower portfolio, it may be necessary to refurbish the newly acquired Towers in order to bring them to the standard of the rest of our portfolio.
Refurbishment capital expenditures typically involve the deployment of a suitable power system for that site, repairs to the site or improvements to the site structure in order to be in line with our safety obligations, and adaptations to site security and monitoring abilities. Refurbishment capital expenditures are one-off in nature, following which those sites should then have normalized maintenance capital expenditure requirements related to the maintenance of sites as described above. Refurbishment capital expenditure is a component of discretionary capital expenditure since it is typically considered in conjunction with the acquisition of tower portfolios. The capital expenditure associated with refurbishment varies from market to market and tower to tower.
Carbon reduction roadmap
On October 24, 2022, we announced our Carbon Reduction Roadmap which provides a comprehensive strategy for decreasing our operational emissions by reducing diesel usage on tower sites, including a goal to reduce the Scope 1 and Scope 2 kilowatt-hour emissions intensity of our tower portfolio by 2030, using 2021 emissions data as the baseline. With Project Green, the next step through which our Carbon Reduction Roadmap will be realized, we expect to spend approximately $214.0 million in capital expenditure towards these efforts between 2022 and 2024. The expected savings amount is based in large part on the assumptions we have made for reducing diesel consumption.
89
Table of Contents
Savings will be achieved by connecting more sites to the electricity grid and via the deployment and integration of battery storage and solar panel solutions. In scope for the Carbon Reduction Roadmap are our operations in Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Kuwait, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Zambia. However, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Kuwait, Rwanda, and Zambia will only include connecting more sites to the grid.
The actual capital expenditure spend for the year ended December 31, 2022, is $103.6 million. The expected capital expenditure spend in 2023 is $90.0 million to $100.0 million.
Cost and consumption of diesel
Power is our largest single operating expense and, in particular, diesel pricing typically has the largest impact on changes in our operating expense. The largest impact is in our Nigerian operations due to low power grid availability and our South African operations where they are connected to the grid and experience significant load shedding. Fluctuations in the price of oil and foreign exchange effects have a direct correlation to the price of diesel that we pay to suppliers in our markets. Falling oil prices should lower our costs, with the degree of reduction dependent on both foreign exchange effects and our diesel requirements. In the case of rising oil prices and the associated cost of diesel, we benefit in limited situations from power indexation clauses in some of our MLAs, which provide pass-through provisions in relation to increased diesel prices and conversely falling diesel prices. However, as the majority of our contracts do not have such pass-through provisions, we remain exposed to diesel price volatility, which may result in substantial increases in our operating costs and reduced profits if prices rise significantly and/or we are unable to enter into adequate cost pass-through arrangements. In Nigeria, to help mitigate against fluctuations in the price of diesel, we bulk buy diesel from time to time to take advantage of suitable pricing. Furthermore, we have been reducing our overall diesel consumption through targeted investment in power system solutions to provide power to sites more efficiently, including the use of hybrid and solar systems.
Due to the current volatility in oil prices largely as a result of the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the related global economic sanctions, the ICE Low Sulphur Gasoil price has increased significantly over the last twelve months from an average of $629/MT in the three month period ended December 31, 2021 to an average of $948/MT in the three month period ended December 31, 2022.
Cost of ground leases
The majority of towers we own and operate are on land that we lease from individual landlords. Ground lease fees are generally paid in advance monthly or for a one, five, or ten-year portion of the overall duration of the lease (although in our South Africa business, we typically pay our ground leases fees monthly in advance), with typically pre-agreed lease fee increases of between 3% and 40% or variable increases for each subsequent one, three, five or ten-year period. As we roll out additional sites, we are often required to either enter into leases with new landlords, which we endeavor to do under similar terms to those of our existing leases, or acquire the land.
Customer concentration
A significant portion of our revenue in each of our markets of operation is derived from a small number of customers who usually constitute some of the largest MNOs in those markets. In particular, in the year ended December 31, 2022, revenue from our top three MNO customers, considered in each of our individual markets of operation, collectively accounted for 96.6% of our consolidated revenue, with MTN Nigeria and Airtel Nigeria accounting for 50.1% and 14.3%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022. Should there be any negative impact on the businesses of our major customers, including these key MNOs, this in turn could adversely affect their demand for tower space and/or ability to perform their obligations under their lease agreements with us.
Market volatility
We and our customers operate in various international markets, particularly in emerging markets such as in Africa. As a result, we are exposed to economic, political and other uncertainties prevailing in such markets, particularly Nigeria, which is our largest market of operation.
For example, in addition to the currency exchange rate and other factors noted above, our business has been negatively impacted by the tensions between the "Anglophone" and "Francophone" regions of Cameroon.

On October 28, 2022, Moody's Investor Service (Moody's) downgraded IHS Holding from B2 to B3 and placed the rating on review for downgrade. The rating action on IHS Holding was a direct consequence of the downgrade of the Government of Nigeria and the lowering of Nigeria's foreign currency country ceiling, both to B3. As a result, IHS Holding, which was previously constrained at the B2 ceiling, is now constrained at B3. The rating was placed on review for downgrade to reflect the outlook on the sovereign rating.
On January 27, 2023, Moody's downgraded the Government of Nigeria's long-term foreign currency and local currency issuer ratings as well as its foreign currency senior unsecured debt ratings to Caa1 from B3 and changed the outlook to stable. Despite that downgrade, on February 1, 2023, Moody's did not downgrade IHS Holding, but instead confirmed the rating at B3. On February 3, 2023, S&P affirmed Nigeria's sovereign foreign and local currency credit rating at B-/B (B- for the long-term rating, B for the short-term rating) but moved the outlook to negative. On February 15, 2023, S&P raised the long-term rating on IHS Holding and its senior unsecured notes to B+ from B with the outlook set as negative, which is two notches above S&P's B- transfer and convertibility (T&C) assessment for Nigeria.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Macroeconomic Issues
A regional or global health pandemic, depending upon its duration and severity, could have a material adverse effect on our business. For example, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, governmental authorities around the world implemented various measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, and such measures adversely affected workforces, supply chains, ability to carry out operations, economies and financial markets and led to an economic downturn in many of our markets. In addition, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the global economy, depreciation of local currencies and/or a lack of sufficient availability of hard/international currencies, we may experience fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in many of the markets in which we operate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations. Global deterioration in economic conditions in light of COVID-19 or other global health emergencies or events could adversely and materially affect us and/or our customers through disruptions of, among other things, the ability to procure communications equipment or other supplies through the usual supply chains. For instance, shortages of capacity in shipping may occur and could affect the smooth flow of our and/or our customers' supply chains, increase transportation costs and/or decrease reliability. Global deterioration in economic conditions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic or similar future outbreaks could also adversely and materially affect the ability of us and/or our customers to maintain liquidity and deploy network capital, with potential decreases in consumer spending contributing to liquidity risks, or even through regulatory interventions or pressure on pricing and services offered that may reduce revenue for periods of time. Any resulting financial difficulties could result in uncollectible accounts receivable or reduced revenue, despite having provided increased services. Resulting supply chain or operational difficulties (including site access) may also result in us being unable to meet the service level agreement targets under our MLAs. The loss of significant Tenants, or the loss of all or a portion of our anticipated Contracted Revenue from certain Tenants, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
In the past, governments have taken, and may in the future take, unprecedented actions in an attempt to address and rectify these extreme market and economic conditions by providing liquidity and stability to financial markets. If these actions are not successful, the return of adverse economic conditions may cause a significant impact on our ability and the ability of our customers to raise capital, if needed, on a timely basis and on acceptable terms or at all.
To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic, or any similar future pandemic or related events could have a material adverse effect on our or our customers' business, financial condition, results of operations and/or liquidity, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in "Item 3.D. Risk Factors."
Key Financial and Operational Performance Indicators
We believe that revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, non-discretionary capital expenditure, Recurring Levered Free Cash Flows ("RLFCF"), and Return Adjusted EBITDA, the number of Towers in our portfolio and Colocation Rate are key measures to assess our financial and operational performance. These measures demonstrate our ability to grow and generate strong positive cash flows over time. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, non-discretionary capital expenditure, RLFCF and Return Adjusted EBITDA are not measures defined by IFRS. The most directly comparable IFRS measure to Adjusted EBITDA, RLFCF and Return Adjusted EBITDA is our profit/(loss) for the period. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, RLFCF and Return Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to similarly referenced measures used by other companies. As a result, investors should not consider these performance measures in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, our results of operations as determined in accordance with IFRS.
91
Table of Contents
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful to investors and are used by our management for measuring profitability and allocating resources, because they exclude the impact of certain items that have less bearing on our core operating performance such as interest expense and taxes. We believe that utilizing Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin allows for a more meaningful comparison of operating fundamentals between companies within our industry by eliminating the impact of capital structure and taxation differences between the companies.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as profit/(loss) for the period, before income tax expense/(benefit), finance costs and income, depreciation and amortization, impairment of withholding tax receivables, business combination transaction costs, impairment of property, plant and equipment and related prepaid land rent on the decommissioning of sites, net (profit)/loss on sale of assets, share-based payment (credit)/expense, insurance claims, listing costs and certain other items that management believes are not indicative of the core performance of our business.
We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue for the applicable period, expressed as a percentage.
Non-discretionary capital expenditure
Non-discretionary capital expenditure is non-revenue generating in nature and relates to capital expenditure required to run ordinary course operations, including the delivery of our contracted service level agreements to customers.
It consists primarily of maintenance capital expenditure, as well as routine corporate capital expenditure, being primarily spending on information technology infrastructure.

Recurring Levered Free Cash Flow
We believe that it is important to measure the free cash flows we have generated from operations, after accounting for the cost of funding and recurring capital expenditure required to generate those cash flows. In this respect, we monitor RLFCF which we define as cash flows from operating activities, before certain items of income or expenditure that management believes are not indicative of the core performance of our business (to the extent that these items of income and expenditure are included within cash flow from operating activities), and after taking into account loss allowances on trade receivables, impairment of inventory, net working capital movements, net interest paid or received, revenue withholding tax, income taxes paid, lease payments made, maintenance capital expenditures, and routine corporate capital expenditures.

Return Adjusted EBITDA
We believe that it is important to measure the effectiveness of our capital allocation strategy. This allows us to quantify how well we generate income relative to the capital we have invested in our business. We monitor the returns generated from capital we have deployed across the business.
We measure our return on invested capital by looking at Return Adjusted EBITDA for the period, which we define as Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted for lease payments made and amortization of prepaid site rent, less revenue withholding tax, income taxes paid, maintenance capital expenditures and routine capital expenditures, as a function of gross property, plant and equipment, gross intangibles and gross goodwill, as of the end of the period. Management uses this metric in order to measure the effectiveness of our capital allocation strategy, in a manner similar to metrics calculated by peers in the industry. Return Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure defined by IFRS, and other companies may calculate Return Adjusted EBITDA or return on invested capital, differently. As a result, investors should not consider Return Adjusted EBITDA in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, our results of operations as determined in accordance with IFRS.
The following is a reconciliation of Return Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, which is loss for the year presented:

Corporate capital expenditures, which are non-discretionary in nature, consist primarily of routine spending on information technology infrastructure.
(j)
Excludes the cost of right-of-use assets resulting from leases accounted for under IFRS 16.
Towers
We measure the number of towers in our portfolio at a given time by counting the number of towers that we own or operate with at least one Tenant. The number of towers in our portfolio excludes towers for which we provide Managed Services. We have historically increased the number of towers in our portfolio through a combination of building New Sites, along with the acquisition of towers from MNOs and an independent tower company. Rationalizing the portfolio through decommissioning towers reduces the number of towers we own and operate.
Colocation Rate
We define Colocation Rate as the average number of Tenants per tower that we own or operate across our tower portfolio at a given point in time, excluding Managed Services. Colocation Rate is an important metric for assessing utilization and capacity on existing Towers. Our Colocation Rate is a key driver of our Adjusted EBITDA Margin, as the addition of further Tenants increases revenue for a proportionally smaller increase in power, our primary variable cost per site. Colocation is achieved at a relatively low incremental capital expense, and is also attractive to our customers as it provides them with shorter deployment times for their equipment compared to New Site alternatives.
Explanation of key line items in the historical consolidated statements of income
Revenue
Our revenue is derived from fees paid by our customers for services from our Colocation business and its ancillary managed services. The Colocation business involves the lease of space on our owned and operated towers and our fixed copper and fiber network infrastructure, which are shared by various MNOs and other communications service providers. A portion of Colocation arrangements for the rental of space on the towers, other assets on tower sites, on which the use of space is
95
Table of Contents
dependent, and the use of fixed copper and fiber network infrastructure dedicated to an individual customer is within the scope of IFRS 16 "Leases". A portion of colocation arrangements for the provision of services, energy charges and use of shared fixed copper and fiber network infrastructure is within the scope of IFRS 15 'Revenue from contracts with customers' as a provision of service. Revenue from leasing arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the current lease term of the related lease agreements when collectability is reasonably assured. We also derive revenue from non-lease services, which includes maintenance, security and power supply for Towers owned by third parties. Non-lease revenue is recognized as the service is delivered at an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those services. Such revenue is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. We assess the probability that defaulting customers will not settle amounts billed and accordingly treat any component that we deem may not be collected as variable consideration, contingent upon the receipt of funds from the customer, an event that is not wholly within our control.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales consists of power generation (including diesel costs), which after depreciation, is our largest single cost item, ground lease rental, tower repairs and maintenance, depreciation and amortization in relation to sites and right of use assets, staff costs and other costs directly related to the provision of services to customers and other site related costs, such as security services, regulatory permits and license costs, insurance, including for customer and network related assets. Depreciation of a tower is calculated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 10 to 20 years. Depreciation of alarms, batteries and generators are also calculated using the straight-line method over a range of estimated useful lives between three and five years, depending on the equipment. Right of use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the remaining estimated useful life of the tower and the lease term.
Administrative expenses
Administrative expenses are costs not directly related to provision of services to customers, but which support our business as a whole. These overhead expenses primarily consist of administrative staff costs (including key management compensation), office rent and related property expenses, insurance, travel costs, professional fees, depreciation and amortization of administrative assets and right of use assets where such assets are leased, net loss or gains from sale of assets, allowance for trade and other receivables and other sundry costs. Administrative expenses also includes other corporate overhead expenses related to our acquisition efforts and costs associated with new business initiatives.
Loss allowance on trade receivables
We account for our trade receivables credit risk by appropriately providing for expected credit losses. Loss allowance on trade receivables represents the expected loss from non-payment of amounts due from customers in accordance with the accounting standards applicable to each period. The loss allowance is determined based on our policy for evaluating expected credit losses and any subsequent impairment taking into account historical loss rates, the available information on a customer's financial position and forward-looking macroeconomic data.
Other income
Other income includes proceeds from insurance claims and the remeasurement of contingent consideration arising from acquisitions.
Finance costs and income
Finance costs consist of interest expense and loan facility fees on borrowings, the unwinding of the discount on our decommissioning liability and lease liability, realized and unrealized net foreign exchange losses arising from financing arrangements and net realized and unrealized losses from valuations of financial instruments. Finance income consists of interest income from bank deposits, realized and unrealized net foreign exchange gains arising from financing arrangements and net realized and unrealized gains from valuations of financial instruments.
Taxation
Taxation consists of income tax, education tax and deferred taxes. Income tax is calculated at the domestic tax rate applicable to profits in our respective countries of business. Current and deferred tax is recognized on taxes that are
96
Table of Contents
regarded as taxes on corporate income under relevant IFRS accounting standards. This includes Nigerian education tax, which arises at the rate of 2.5% (2021: 2.5%) on taxable profits determined on a basis similar to income tax.
​
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, including tax losses carried forward, arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, but only to the extent that the realization of the related tax benefits are expected to be met through the reversal of taxable temporary differences and that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. As of December 31, 2022, in Nigeria and certain other jurisdictions that have taxable losses brought forward or arising in the present period, deferred tax assets in respect of those losses are recognized only to the extent they are forecast to be applied against (i) the reversal of taxable temporary differences, or (ii) additional forecast future taxable income.

Revenue
Our revenue was $1,961.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $1,579.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Revenue increased by $381.6 million, or 24.2%, which includes organic growth of $307.4 million, or 19.5%. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022, included non-recurring revenue of $18.0 million that was recognized from reaching agreement on certain contractual terms with a Key Customer in Nigeria. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 included a non-recurring aggregate amount of $24.2 million. Aggregate inorganic revenue growth was $151.5 million, or 9.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2022, driven by the MTN South Africa Acquisition, GTS SP5 Acquisition, I-Systems Acquisition and fifth stage of the Kuwait Acquisition. The increase was partially offset by the non-core impact of negative movement in foreign exchange rates of $77.3 million, or 4.9%.
Refer to the revenue component of the segment results section of this operating and financial review for further details.
The net increase in Towers was 8,609 year on year, resulting in total Towers of 39,652 at December 31, 2022, and includes 2,115 towers from the GTS SP5 Acquisition, 5,691 Towers from the MTN SA Acquisition and 43 Towers from the fifth closing of the Kuwait Acquisition. We added 12,159 net new Tenants year on year, resulting in total Tenants of 58,573 and a Colocation Rate of 1.48x at December 31, 2022. Of the Tenant additions year on year, 43 Tenants were added from the fifth closing of the Kuwait Acquisition, 2,998 Tenants were added from the GTS SP5 Acquisition and 7,017 Tenants were added from the MTN SA Acquisition. Year on year, we added 4,550 Lease Amendments, resulting in total Lease Amendments of 31,674 at December 31, 2022. The movement in Lease Amendments includes the reduction of 1,444 Lease Amendments during the third quarter of 2022 which are billed variably based on power consumption rather than a recurring use fee.
Our net increase in Towers and Tenants for the year ended December 31, 2022 includes the impact of the start of a rationalization program agreed with a Key Customer, which resulted in the net rationalization of 369 Towers and a total of 401 Tenants. During the year, we agreed with the same Key Customer to rationalize approximately 750 Towers and approximately 750 Tenants in 2023.

The increase in cost of sales of $249.5 million, or 27.5%, in the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 is primarily due to increased costs related to power generation, tower repair and maintenance, security service, aggregate depreciation and amortization, staff costs and short term site rental. This year-on-year increase is partially offset by decreases in costs related to site regulatory permits, travel cost and impairment of property, plant and equipment and prepaid land rent.
Power generation costs increased by $152.1 million, of which $146.9 million of the movement related to diesel costs, in the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to a year-on-year cost increase in our Nigeria segment driven by year-on-year increases in the diesel price per liter in U.S. Dollars of 60.4% and overall consumption increase of 6.4%. The year-on-year increase in diesel price is primarily driven by the current conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
Aggregate depreciation and amortization increased by $89.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. This is primarily due to a year-on-year increase in depreciation and amortization for our SSA, Latam and MENA segments of $25.4 million, $63.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively, due to additional acquisitions year-on-year in these markets leading to an increased asset base. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization of $15.6 million for our Nigeria segment.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment and prepaid land rent decreased by $13.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily resulting from a year-on-year decrease of $12.4 million in our Nigeria segment. This year-on-year decrease is primarily driven by the site rationalization program agreed with a Key Customer in the year ended December 31, 2021 which resulted in the impairment of the related Towers and prepaid land rent.
The year-on-year increases in the cost of security services, staff costs and site rental for the year ended December 31, 2022, of $7.3 million $6.9 million, and $2.5 million respectively, are primarily driven by an increase in tower count.
Tower repairs and maintenance costs increased by $15.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in tower count.
98
Table of Contents
Costs related to regulatory permits decreased by $7.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily in Nigeria and SSA due to changes in regulation in 2022 resulting in reduced fees per site.
Other cost of sales line items decreased in aggregate by $3.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to a decrease in costs related to travel costs, short term other rent, vehicle maintenance and repairs and other rental costs.
Administrative Expenses
Our administrative expenses were $501.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $336.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased by $164.7 million, or 48.9%, which was primarily due to increases in staff costs, rent and facilities costs, travel costs, business combination transaction costs, impairment of goodwill and net loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees, impairment of withholding tax receivables, depreciation and key management compensation.
Staff costs increased by $30.8 million to $132.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2022 from $101.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2021 due to the impact of acquired operations through the TIM Fiber Acquisition and the MTN SA Acquisition, and increased headcount in Group functions including our shared service center. Key management compensation decreased by $3.9 million to $21.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2022 from $25.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2021.
Rent and facilities costs increased by $11.0 million to $34.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, from $23.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. Travel costs and business combination transaction costs increased in the year ended December 31, 2022, by $6.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively, as a result of increased travel and business combination activity.
Net loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment increased by $5.9 million to $3.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, from a net gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment of $2.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily resulting from a year-on-year increase in net loss of $3.7 million in our Nigeria segment after completing an assessment of assets verification that took place in the second quarter of 2022, resulting in disposal of assets creating a net loss. Depreciation decreased by $3.9 million to $10.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, from $13.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily resulting from a year-on-year decrease of $6.9 million in our Latam segment, partially offset by a year-on-year increase in our Nigeria segment of $1.8 million.

Table of Contents
Professional fees decreased by $10.7 million to $39.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, from $49.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, due to a decrease in listing costs and non-recurring fees and other expenses.
Impairment of withholding tax receivables decreased by $9.5 million to $52.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, from $61.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily in our Nigeria segment. Impairment of goodwill increased by $121.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, related solely to our Latam segment.
Other administrative expense items increased by $9.4 million to $30.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, from $21.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2021.
Loss Allowance on Trade Receivables
We had a net reversal of loss allowance on trade receivables of $4.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to a net reversal of loss allowance on trade receivables of $34.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, a year-on-year negative movement of $29.6 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we collected a portion of amounts previously provisioned and experienced improved collections in respect of one Key Customer, which resulted in a one-off reversal of the loss allowance on trade receivables in respect of that customer totaling $36.5 million, which was not repeated in the year ended December 31, 2022.
Other Income
Other income decreased by $13.8 million to $4.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, from $18.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily resulting from $11.2 million in 2021, relating to the remeasurement of the liability for contingent consideration on the Skysites Acquisition and Kuwait Acquisition for a portion thereof not paid to the sellers, as the conditions were not met post-acquisition.
Net Finance Income/Costs

Net finance costs increased by $459.7 million, or 115.9%, in the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to the substantial increase of $194.6 million in net foreign exchange losses (realized and unrealized) arising from financing, unfavorable  fair value movements on embedded options within the IHS Holding Limited Notes and 2027 Notes of $160.5 million, an increase in interest expense of $89.1 million, an increase in interest and finance charges on lease and decommissioning liabilities of $21.8 million and an increase in fees on loans and financial derivatives of $5.0 million. The increase in net finance costs was partially offset by a decrease in bond redemption costs of $18.2 million.
The net foreign exchange loss arising from financing was $364.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to a net foreign exchange loss of $169.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The year-on-year increase in net foreign exchange loss of $194.6 million was primarily due to changes in exchange rates, predominantly between the NGN, RWF, XAF, XOF, ZAR and ZMW which depreciated against the U.S. dollar and the BRL which appreciated against the U.S. dollar. Foreign exchange movements arise on commercial bank and intercompany loans denominated in U.S. dollars at the subsidiary level as a result of loan revaluations in local functional currency at period ends.
The year-on-year increase of $81.3 million in interest expense on third-party loans in the year ended December 31, 2022 is primarily related to bond interest on the IHS Holding Limited Notes which were issued in November 2021, an increase in interest on third-party loans in our Nigeria and Latam segments, the addition of a third-party loan related to the MTN SA Acquisition and the addition of the IHS Holding 2022 Term Loan.
The year-on-year aggregate increase of $21.8 million in finance charges for lease liabilities and unwinding of discount on decommissioning liabilities in the year ended December 31, 2022 resulted primarily from an increase in the number of Towers, from acquisitions and from New Sites, for which we have entered into ground leases and to which the decommissioning liabilities relate.
Other significant year-on-year movements in net finance costs in the year ended December 31, 2022 included an increase in loss related to the fair valuation on embedded options within the IHS Holding Notes and 2027 Notes of $160.5 million, which resulted primarily from decreases in the market value as a result of a rise in treasury rates, which decreased the value of the call options. The year-on-year decrease in gain of fair value on embedded derivatives in revenue contract of $7.2 million was due to no embedded derivatives in revenue contracts in the year ended December 31, 2022. The year-on-year increase in fees on loans and financial derivatives of $5.0 million primarily related to bridge financing fees and commitment fees in Group entities, offset by a decrease of $18.2 million in bond redemption costs due to early settlement of the 2025 Notes in the year ended December 31, 2021.
Income Tax (Benefit)/Expense
Our current income tax expense was $108.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to a current income tax expense of $91.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
We had a deferred income tax benefit of $182.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to a deferred tax benefit of $73.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The year-on-year increase of $17.2 million in current income tax expense, resulting in a current tax expense of $108.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to a current income tax expense of $91.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, was primarily due to increases in our Nigeria and Latam segments of $10.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and an increase in Group entities of $8.3 million, which primarily relates to an increase in the group

uncertain tax position provision. This was partially offset by a decrease in current income tax expense of $3.0 million in our SSA segment.
The year-on-year increase of $108.6 million in deferred tax benefit, resulting in a deferred tax benefit of $182.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to a deferred tax benefit of $73.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, was primarily due to an increase in deferred tax benefits in our Nigeria, SSA and Latam segments of $18.5 million, $6.6 million and $93.2 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in deferred tax benefit in Group entities of $9.7 million, which primarily related to future withholding tax on undistributed profits. The year-on-year movement in our Nigeria segment primarily arose from the reduction in impairment of deferred tax assets. In our Latam segment, the movement of $93.2 million arose from a deferred tax benefit of $167.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, which primarily consisted of $75.6 million for the recognition of base cost related to GTS SP5 and $69.5 million related to the recognition of deferred tax assets which had previously been impaired, compared to a deferred tax benefit of $74.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, of which $70.8 million related to the recognition of tax base cost on acquisitions, principally CSS.
Loss for the Year
Loss for the year ended December 31, 2022, was $470.4 million compared to a loss of $26.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $444.3 million for the year. The loss for the year reflected the impact of an increase in net finance costs mainly due to an increase in realized and unrealized foreign exchange losses on financing, an increase in interest expense and the fair value loss on embedded options within the bonds due to the rise in treasury rates since the end of 2021 and market sentiment driven by events such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The loss for the year was also due to an increase in cost of sales, including higher diesel costs and increased administrative expenses associated with being a public company and impairment of goodwill, offset by the increase in revenue and deferred tax benefit as discussed above.

Nigeria
Revenue for our Nigeria segment increased by $205.7 million, or 17.9%, to $1,352.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $1,146.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Revenue increased organically by $266.4 million, or 23.2%, driven primarily by an increase in power indexation, escalations, $18.0 million of non-recurring revenue from reaching agreement on certain contractual terms with a Key Customer, as well as Lease Amendments, foreign exchange resets, New Sites, new Colocation and fiber. The year ended December 31, 2021 included $24.2 million of non-recurring items. The increase in organic revenue was partially offset by the impact of negative movements in the Naira to U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate of $60.7 million, or 5.3%. Year on year, within our Nigeria segment, Tenants increased by 589, including 564 from new sites, offset by 540 Churned, while Lease Amendments increased by 3,884. The total number of  Lease Amendments at year end reflects the reduction of 1,444 Lease Amendments during the third quarter that are billed variably based on power consumption rather than a recurring use fee.

Revenue increased organically by $17.7 million, or 5.2%, driven by escalations, New Sites and new Colocation. Revenue for our SSA segment also grew inorganically in the period by $70.4 million, or 20.5%, mainly from the completion of the MTN SA Acquisition in the second quarter of 2022. Revenue in the period was partially offset by the year-on-year negative impact of movements in foreign exchange rates of $19.3 million, or 5.6%. Year on year, within our Sub-Saharan Africa segment, Tenants increased by 7,620 including 282 from new sites and 7,017 from the MTN SA acquisition in the second quarter of 2022, partially offset by 63 Churned, while Lease Amendments increased by 613.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We generally fund our operations, which include operating expenses and debt service requirements (principal and interest payments), through cash flow from operating activities. We have historically funded acquisitions and other investments in our business, including large scale New Site construction and site improvements, from a combination of external equity raised from shareholders, long-term debt financings and internally generated cash from operations. External equity funding was raised at the IHS Holding Limited level, where it was held in U.S. dollars until required by operating subsidiaries or for acquisitions. As and when operating subsidiaries required these funds, the funding was allocated through intercompany loans to those subsidiaries. The proportion of intercompany loans to equity is unique to each operation and determined by commercial funding requirements, local taxation and corporate legislation.
As of December 31, 2022, we had $1,014.1 million of total liquidity, which was equal to our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $514.1 million and availability under the IHS Holding RCF and the IHS Holding 2022 Term Loan (see "— Indebtedness" for more information) of $270.0 million and $230.0 million respectively
.
Our centralized treasury team supervises our cash management. Our cash and cash equivalents are generated within our operating subsidiaries and held either locally or upstreamed to IHS Holding Limited (or intermediaries thereof). As a holding company, our only source of cash to pay our obligations will be distributions with respect to our ownership interests in our subsidiaries or repayment of intercompany loans from (i) the net earnings and cash flow generated by these subsidiaries and (ii) any excess funds from the refinancing of operating company debt financings.
We believe that our available liquidity and cash from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our operating expenses, debt service, capital expenditure requirements and organic growth strategies for the next 12 months. However, our ability to satisfy our operating expenses, debt service, capital requirements and growth strategies will depend on our future performance, which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors, including those described in the "Risk Factors" section of this Annual Report on Form 20-F. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operating activities in the future, we may have to obtain additional financing. If we obtain additional capital by issuing equity, the current interests of our existing shareholders will be diluted. If we incur additional indebtedness, that indebtedness may contain significant financial and other covenants that may significantly restrict our operations. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
Additionally, we continuously review our funding and maturity profile. As part of this review, we regularly explore opportunities in the global bond markets to try and ensure that we are well positioned to avail ourselves of any refinancing opportunities, including for our 2027 Notes and our other facilities.

Net cash generated from operating activities
Net cash generated from operating activities increased by $157.1 million year-on year in the year ended December 31, 2022, to $907.3 million, from $750.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The year-on-year increase is primarily due to increased cash from operations of $178.8 million, mainly due to changes in working capital, partially offset by increased income tax paid of $22.1 million.
The year-on-year increase in cash from operations for the year ended December 31, 2022, is primarily due to the increase in cash profits, represented by the increase in Adjusted EBITDA after excluding the impact of the reversal of the loss allowance on trade and other receivables.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $639.3 million, to $1,517.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, from $877.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in cash consideration paid for business combinations, net of cash acquired of $334.7 million, an increase in capital expenditure for property, plant and equipment (including advance payments) of $146.3 million, an increase in net short term deposits of $137.6 million and a decrease in insurance claims received of $14.6 million, partially offset by an increase in interest income received of $7.4 million. The year-on-year increase in cash paid for business acquisitions is due to larger expenditures in the year ended December 31, 2022, for the GTS SP5 Acquisition and MTN SA Acquisition. The year-on-year increase in capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment (including advance payments) is described in more detail in the segmental review above.
Net cash generated from financing activities
Net cash generated from financing activities decreased by $126.0 million, to $398.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, from net cash generated from financing activities of $524.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The year-on-year decrease in cash inflow is primarily due to a decrease of $349.8 million in capital raised (net of costs), an increase of $66.3 million in cash outflow from interest paid to third parties, an increase of $45.3 million cash outflow from aggregate net losses settled and net initial margin received on non-deliverable forwards/swaps and an increase of $16.6 million in net payment of principal and interest of lease liabilities, partially offset by an increase of $334.2 million in loans received from third parties net of principal repayments.

Each Award will be evidenced by an award agreement which will govern that Award's terms and conditions.

120
Table of Contents
respect of the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and will have no liability for any action taken in good faith. The 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan is administered by our Board with respect to Awards to non-employee directors.
Adjustments.  In the event of a change in the number or class of the outstanding ordinary shares due to split-ups, combinations, mergers, consolidations or recapitalizations, or by reason of stock dividends, the number or class of shares which thereafter may be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan, both in the aggregate and as to any grantee, and the number and class of shares then subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price per share of outstanding options or stock appreciation rights, will be adjusted to reflect such change, all as determined by the Committee. In the event of any other change in the number or kind of outstanding shares, or of any stock or other securities or property into which such shares will have been changed, or for which it will have been exchanged, if the Committee determines that such change equitably requires an adjustment in any Award that has been or may be granted under the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan, such adjustment will be made in accordance with such determination subject to certain limitations set out in the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan. In addition, in the event that (i) we merge or are consolidated with another entity and in connection therewith consideration other than equity is provided to our shareholders or outstanding Awards are not to be assumed by the resulting entity, (ii) all or substantially all of our assets are acquired by another person, (iii) we are reorganized or liquidated or (iv) we enter into a written agreement to undergo a transaction specified in (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Committee may, in its discretion and upon advance notice to the affected persons, cancel any outstanding Awards and cause the holders thereof to be paid in cash, stock or other property (or any combination thereof) the value of the Awards based on the price per share received or to be received by other shareholders of our company in such event.
Change in Control.  In the event of a change in control, notwithstanding any provision in the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, take any action with respect to all or any portion of a particular outstanding Award, including, but not limited to, the following, in each case, except as otherwise provide in a written agreement between the grantee and the Company: (i) if Awards are not converted, assumed, or replaced by a successor, the Awards will become fully exercisable and vested, with any performance conditions to become satisfied based on the achievement of an assumed level of performance (which may be actual, target or maximum performance), as determined by the Committee; (ii) if the Award is assumed or replaced by a successor with a comparable award, then the new award must (a) provide the grantee with substantially equivalent terms and conditions; and (b) become fully vested and exercisable immediately upon an involuntary termination of the grantee's employment or service, as applicable, by the Company without cause within eighteen (18) months following the Change in Control, with any performance conditions to be converted based on the achievement of an assumed level of performance (which may be actual, target or maximum performance), as determined by the Committee; (iii) settle Awards previously deferred; (iv) adjust, substitute, convert, settle and/or terminate outstanding Awards as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate and consistent with the plan's purposes; and (v) in the case of any Award with an exercise price that equals or exceeds the price paid for a share of ordinary shares in connection with the change in control, the Committee may cancel the Award without the payment of consideration therefor. To the extent practicable, any actions taken by the Committee may occur in a manner and at a time which allows affected grantees the ability to participate in the change in control transactions with respect to the ordinary shares subject to their Awards. In addition, in the event of a change in control, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and upon at least ten (10) days' advance notice to the affected persons, cancel any outstanding Awards and pay to the holders thereof, in cash or stock, or any combination thereof, the value of the Awards based upon the price per share of ordinary shares received or to be received by other shareholders of the Company in such change in control.
Amendment. In general, the Board can modify, alter, amend or terminate the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (at any time and with or without retroactive effect) in whole or in part in its discretion without approval of the shareholders or any other person, except that no amendment will become effective unless approved by our shareholders to the extent shareholder approval is necessary to satisfy any applicable law or securities exchange listing requirements. However, no amendment to or termination of the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan may materially and adversely affect any rights of any grantee without his or her written consent. The Board may, at any time, amend the terms of an outstanding Award, except that no amendment may impair the rights under any Award without the written consent of the affected grantee.
Indemnification
Executive officers and directors have the benefit of indemnification provisions in our Articles. These provisions provide that our board of directors and officers shall be indemnified from and against all liability which they incur in execution of their duty in their respective offices, except liability incurred by reason of such director's or officer's dishonesty, willful default or fraud. Additionally, we entered into indemnification agreements with our executive officers and directors which include specific protections on the indemnification of liabilities for our executive officers and directors.
121
Table of Contents
Insofar as indemnification of liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to executive officers and directors or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
C. Board Practices
Board Composition
Our board is of directors is composed of 10 members. Sam Darwish serves as the Chairman of our board of directors and John Ellis Bush serves as Lead Independent Director. Our Articles provide that directors are divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively, and directors will generally be elected to serve staggered three year terms.
●
Frank Dangeard, Bryce Fort and Phuthuma Nhleko serve as Class I Directors whose current term of office shall expire at the third annual general meeting of the Company in 2024.
●
John Ellis Bush, Bashir El-Rufai and Nicholas Land serve as Class II Directors whose current term of office shall expire at the fourth annual general meeting of the Company in 2025.
●
Sam Darwish, Ursula Burns, Maria Carolina Lacerda and Aniko Szigetvari serve as Class III Directors whose current term of office shall expire at the fifth annual general meeting of the Company in 2026.
A Director whose term has expired may be reappointed in accordance with the terms of the Articles. At any annual general meeting where a resolution for the election of directors is proposed, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect a director. In addition, our directors may appoint any person to be a director and assign such director to a class either as a result of a casual vacancy or as an additional director. Our Articles provide that a director may be removed by special resolution of the shareholders or for "cause" (as defined therein) by notice from not less than 75% of the directors then in office. Each of our directors holds office until he or she resigns or is removed from office in accordance with our Articles.
Our board of directors has determined that seven Directors qualify as "independent" under the NYSE listing standards: John Ellis Bush, Ursula Burns, Bashir El-Rufai, Nicholas Land, Maria Carolina Lacerda, Aniko Szigetvari and Phuthuma Nhleko.
See Item 6.A. "Directors and Senior Management" for information regarding the periods during which our directors have served on the board of directors.
Foreign Private Issuer Status
We are a "foreign private issuer" (as such term is defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act), and our shares are listed on the NYSE. Under the NYSE listing standards, NYSE-listed companies that are foreign private issuers are permitted to follow home country practice in lieu of the corporate governance provisions specified by the NYSE with limited exceptions.
We believe the following to be the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those applicable to U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards:
●
The NYSE rules require that the quorum for any meeting of the holders of shares should be sufficiently high to ensure a representative vote and give careful consideration to provisions fixing any proportion less than a majority of the outstanding shares as the quorum for shareholders' meetings. We follow the corporate governance practice of our home country, the Cayman Islands, which permits less than a majority of the outstanding shares as the quorum for shareholders' meetings.
●
The NYSE rules also require shareholder approval for equity compensation plans and material revisions to those plans. We follow the corporate governance practice of our home country, the Cayman Islands, which does not require shareholder approval for these matters.
We may in the future decide to use other foreign private issuer exemptions with respect to some or all of the other NYSE listing requirements. For example, under the NYSE rules, U.S. domestic listed, non-controlled companies are required to have a majority independent board, which is not required under the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands, our home country. NYSE rules also require U.S. domestic listed, non-controlled companies to have a compensation committee and a
122
Table of Contents
nominating and corporate governance committee, each composed entirely of independent directors, which are not required under our home country laws.
Following our home country governance practices may provide less protection than is given to investors under the NYSE listing requirements applicable to domestic issuers. For more information, see Item 3.D. "Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Ownership of our Ordinary Shares — As we are a "foreign private issuer" and follow certain home country corporate governance practices, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all NYSE corporate governance requirements."
Audit Committee
The audit committee consists of Nicholas Land, Ursula Burns and Aniko Szigetvari. Nicholas Land serves as Chair of the committee. The audit committee consists exclusively of independent Directors who are financially literate, and Nicholas Land is considered an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the SEC. Our board has determined that Nicholas Land, Ursula Burns and Aniko Szigetvari each satisfy the "independence" requirements set forth in Rule 10A 3 under the Exchange Act, and that the simultaneous service by Ursula Burns on the audit committees of three other public companies would not impair her ability to serve on the audit committee. The audit committee is governed by a charter that complies with NYSE listing standards.
The audit committee assists the board in overseeing our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of our financial statements, and is responsible for, among other things:
●
the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of any accounting firm engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit services;
●
pre-approving the audit services and non-audit services to be provided by our independent auditor before the auditor is engaged to render such services;
●

'
s qualifications, performance and independence, and presenting its conclusions to the full board on at least an annual basis;
●
reviewing and discussing with the board and the independent auditor our annual audited financial statements and any quarterly financial statements prior to the filing of the respective SEC reports;
●
reviewing our compliance with laws and regulations; and
●
approving or ratifying any related party transaction (as defined in our related party transaction policy) in accordance with our related party transaction policy.
The audit committee meets at least four times per year. The audit committee meets at least once per year with our independent accountant, without our executive officers being present.
Remuneration Committee
The remuneration committee consists of Aniko Szigetvari, John Ellis Bush and Bryce Fort. Aniko Szigetvari serves as Chair of the committee.
The remuneration committee assists the board in determining CEO remuneration and is responsible for, among other things:
●
identifying, reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, evaluating the Chief Executive Officer
'
s performance in light of these objectives and goals and, based upon that evaluation, setting the Chief Executive Officer
'
s compensation;
●
reviewing and setting or making recommendations to the Board regarding compensation for our other executive officers;
●
reviewing and setting or making recommendations to the Board regarding director compensation; and
●

●
reviewing, at least annually, processes designed to mitigate key health, safety and environmental risks.
Risk Management
Our board of directors is responsible for the establishment and oversight of our risk management framework. The audit committee is responsible for discussing our policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which our exposure to risk is handled. The audit committee oversees how our management monitors compliance with our risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks we face. The audit committee also oversees management of all risks, including financial and cybersecurity risks. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire board is regularly informed through committee reports about such risks.
Our board of directors is supported by various management functions that check and undertake both regular and ad hoc risk assessment reviews in compliance with established controls and procedures. The objective of the risk management process at IHS Towers is to ensure that our board of directors and management are aware of the key risks that could threaten the achievement of business objectives and that appropriate mitigation plans are in place to avoid, eliminate, or minimize the impact of such risks, should they arise. Risk assessments typically consider the potential impacts should a
124
Table of Contents
risk occur and the likelihood of the risk occurring, as well as the root causes of individual risks and the need for any additional controls or mitigation actions. Risks are prioritized, and risk profiles will cover a mix of external risks over which management may have little control as well as internal risks that management should be capable of mitigating.
Our internal audit process is a fundamental component of the risk management process. Its objective is to provide reasonable assurance to our board of directors and management that the controls put in place to mitigate our key risks are designed appropriately and operating effectively. A critical input into planning internal audit work is a good understanding of the risk profiles in all our markets, functions, and projects, as well as the key risks facing the company. The results of internal audit reviews are presented to the Audit Committee. The output of all internal audit work is an important input into the development of the risk assessments we perform.
To be able to appropriately respond to risks when they arise, we have in place regularly updated business continuity plans covering a wide range of risks, such as natural catastrophes, political violence or health risks to employees, that have been developed to provide management with guidance on actions that should be taken in the event an incident occurs threatening business performance.

B.
Related Party Transactions
The following is a description of related party transactions since January 1, 2022.
Shareholders' Agreement
In connection with our IPO, we and certain of our shareholders entered into a shareholders' agreement, or the Shareholders' Agreement. The Shareholders' Agreement provides certain rights to our shareholders party to it, including rights to designate directors, add matters to the agenda for shareholder meetings and approval rights with respect to certain proposed actions of the Company, and sets out certain restrictions on our shareholders' ability to sell or otherwise transfer their respective shares, as described below.
Shareholder Lock-Up
Our shareholders party to the Shareholders' Agreement and any Locked-up Transferees, which we collectively refer to as the Locked-up Shareholders, will be prohibited from selling any shares owned directly or indirectly by them immediately prior to our IPO, or the Subject Shares, for a period of up to 30 months after October 13, 2021, or the Lock-up Period, other than as described below and subject to a number of exceptions set out in the Shareholders' Agreement.
The Subject Shares that remain locked-up will become sellable in the following tranches:
(a)
during the period commencing on October 14, 2022 and ending on April 13, 2023, an additional 20% of the Post Greenshoe Shares, or the Block B Shares, were Unblocked, and each Locked-up Shareholder may sell its pro rata share (as calculated in accordance with the Shareholders
'
Agreement) of the Block B Shares in a registered offering. As of April 14, 2023, the Block A Shares and the Block B Shares may be sold without restriction under the Shareholders
'
Agreement subject to compliance with securities law;
(b)
during the period commencing on April 14, 2023 and ending on October 13, 2023, an additional 20% of the Post Greenshoe Shares, or the Block C Shares, will be Unblocked, and each Locked-up Shareholder may sell its pro rata share (as calculated in accordance with the Shareholders
'
Agreement) of the Block C Shares in a registered offering. As of October 13, 2023, the Block C Shares (as well as the Block A Shares and the Block B Shares) may be sold without restriction under the Shareholders
'
Agreement subject to compliance with securities law;
(c)
during the period commencing on October 14, 2023 and April 13, 2024, an additional 20% of the Post Greenshoe Shares, or the Block D Shares, will be Unblocked, and each Locked-up Shareholder may sell its pro rata share (as calculated in accordance with the Shareholders
'
Agreement) of the Block D Shares (as well as the Block A Shares, the Block B Shares and the Block C Shares) without restriction under the Shareholders
'
Agreement subject to compliance with securities law; and
(d)
any time after the expiry of the Lock-up Period, any remaining Subject Shares may be sold without restriction under the Shareholders
'
Agreement subject to compliance with securities law.
The Shareholders' Agreement permits a sub-committee of the Board to waive or shorten the restrictions described above.
The Locked-up Shareholders may, at any time, transfer their Subject Shares to any of their respective affiliates and certain other entities listed in the Shareholders' Agreement. In addition, the Shareholders' Agreement allows each Locked-up Shareholder to sell Subject Shares at any time in one or more private transactions exempt from the requirements of the Securities Act (other than Rule 144 thereunder), subject to the purchaser agreeing to be bound by the terms of the Shareholders' Agreement applicable to such Locked-up Shareholder and subject to certain other pricing-related requirements.
Any Subject Shares held by a Locked-up Shareholder holding Subject Shares representing less than 2% of our total issued shares may be sold without restriction under the Shareholders' Agreement subject to compliance with securities law at any time as of October 14, 2023.

Table of Contents
Management Shareholders
As of December 31, 2022, Management Shareholders have received 17,788,184ordinary shares pursuant to the terms of the LTIP, and also have subsisting conditional rights under the LTIP over a final tranche of up to 3,558,510 ordinary shares., subject to certain financial targets being met, as further described in Item 6.B. "Director, Senior Management and Employees—Compensation — Share Incentive Plans — Long Term Incentive Plan." Upon receipt of the underlying ordinary shares by the Management Shareholders upon the exercise of the share options, the ordinary shares will be treated as "Subject Shares" and therefore subject to the selling restrictions of the Shareholders' Agreement described above. However, they will be excluded from the calculation of the Block A Shares, the Block B Shares, the Block C Shares and the Block D Shares. Instead, the Management Shareholders will be entitled to sell the ordinary shares received upon the exercise of the options in addition to the Block A Shares, the Block B Shares, the Block C Shares and the Block D Shares, in the manner described in the Shareholders' Agreement.
Director Designation
For so long as the Locked-up Shareholders beneficially own, directly or indirectly, in aggregate, at least 20% of our issued shares, our Board will consist of a minimum of five and a maximum of 15 directors.

Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with our IPO, we and certain of our shareholders entered into a registration rights agreement, or the Registration Rights Agreement.

The Registration Rights Agreement allows one or more Holders together holding at least 5% of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) up to three demand registrations (in the aggregate) over any 12-month period. The Registration Rights Agreement allows the Holders to request registration for all or any portion of their Registrable Securities, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks and certain arrangements with the MTN Group, which we refer to as the MTN Shareholder Arrangements. The Holders representing a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such offering may select the underwriters. In addition, MTN and Wendel may jointly nominate for appointment one bookrunner. Subject to certain requirements, we may suspend a request for registration for 90 days in the aggregate up to two times in any 12-month period.
Subject to eligibility, the Registration Rights Agreement also grants one or more Holders holding, alone or in the aggregate, at least 5% of the Registrable Securities the right to require us to file a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (or any
131
Table of Contents
successor form). Additionally, in the event such a shelf registration statement is effective, upon the request of (i) one or more Holders representing, individually or in the aggregate, at least 5% of the Registrable Securities or (ii) any Holder to the extent requested beginning October 13, 2023, we shall be required to undertake an underwritten takedown offering.
When we or another Holder propose to register any of our ordinary shares subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, each Holder then holding Registrable Securities has the right to request that its Registrable Securities be included in such registration, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks and the MTN Shareholder Arrangements.
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed to pay the fees and expenses associated with registration (excluding stock transfer taxes, underwriting fees, commissions or discounts). The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary provisions with respect to registration proceedings, underwritten offerings, and indemnity and contribution rights.
Relationship with MTN Group
One of our shareholders, MTN Group, is a related party of the MTN Customers. We have entered into MLAs separately with each of the MTN Customers in our relevant countries of operation, that expire in December 2024 and 2029 in Nigeria, March 2033 in Cameroon, April 2023 in Côte d'Ivoire, March 2024 in Zambia, April 2024 in Rwanda and April 2032 in South Africa. In addition to the MLAs, we also enter into SLAs from time to time with the MTN Customers. The MTN Customers accounted for 50%, 3%, 3%, 1%,1% and 3% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022.
DAR Telecom
During the year ended December 31, 2022, DAR Telecom Consulting LLC ("DAR Telecom") was paid $175,000 for services provided by Sam Darwish, our Chairman & Chief Executive Officer. DAR Telecom is controlled by Mr. Darwish. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we incurred costs on behalf of Mr. Darwish of $26,910 which were fully repaid by DAR Telecom.
Sublease of Office Space
During the year ended December 31, 2022, we entered into an agreement to sub-lease office space from a subsidiary company of Wendel Group. Under the sub-lease agreement, we paid rent and utilities amounting to $343,600 and paid a deposit of $195,298.
Indemnification agreements
We entered into indemnification agreements with our executive officers and directors.
Our Articles provide for us to indemnify our directors and officers from and against all liability which they incur in execution of their duty in their respective offices, except liability incurred by reason of such director's or officer's dishonesty, willful default or fraud. See Item 6.B. "Director, Senior Management and Employees—Compensation —  Indemnification" for a description of these indemnification agreements.
Related party transaction policy
Our board of directors has adopted a written related party transaction policy that sets forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions.

Legal and Arbitration Proceedings
We are subject to various legal and regulatory proceedings, claims and actions. Although the outcome of these proceedings, claims and actions cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the outcome of any such proceedings, claims and actions would, in our management's judgment, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operation, nor are we aware of any material legal and regulatory proceedings, claims and actions threatened against us.
Dividend Policy
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and expansion of our business. However, if we do pay a cash dividend on our ordinary shares in the future, we will pay such dividend out of our profits or share premium (subject to solvency requirements) as permitted under Cayman Islands law.
The amount of any future dividend payments we may make will depend on, among other factors, our strategy, future earnings, financial condition, cash flow, availability or ability under our existing financing arrangements, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and applicable provisions of our Articles. Any profits or share premium we declare as dividends will not be available to be reinvested in our operations.
Moreover, we are a holding company that does not conduct any business operations of our own. As a result, we are dependent upon cash dividends, distributions and other transfers from our subsidiaries to make dividend payments. The ability of certain of our subsidiaries to pay dividends is currently restricted by the terms of the 2027 Notes and IHS Holding Limited Notes and certain of our other debt agreements and instruments and may be further restricted by any future indebtedness we or they incur. See Item 5.B. "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Indebtedness."
We did not propose or pay dividends in the year ended December 31, 2022.

D. Exchange Controls
There are no Cayman Islands exchange control regulations that would affect the import or export of capital or the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of our shares.
E. Taxation
The following summary contains a description of certain Cayman Islands, United Kingdom and U.S. federal income
tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of ordinary shares, but it does not purport to
be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to the ownership of ordinary shares. The summary is based upon the tax laws of the Cayman Islands and regulations thereunder, the tax laws of the United Kingdom and regulations thereunder and on the tax laws of the United States and regulations thereunder as of the date hereof, which are subject to change.
Material Cayman Islands Tax Considerations
The following discussion is a summary of the material Cayman Islands tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares. There is, at present, no direct taxation in the Cayman Islands and interest, dividends and gains payable to the Company will be received free of all Cayman Islands taxes. The Company received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands to the effect that, for a period of thirty years from the date of the undertaking, no law that thereafter is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to
be levied on profits, income or on gains or appreciation shall apply to the Company or its operations, and in addition that
no tax to be levied on profits, income gains or appreciations, or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable (i) on or in respect of the shares, debentures or other obligation of the Company; or (ii) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of any relevant payment as defined under the Cayman Islands Tax Concessions Act.
No stamp duty in the Cayman Islands is payable in respect of the issue of any ordinary shares or an instrument of transfer in respect of an ordinary share.
Material UK Tax Considerations
The following statements are of a general nature and do not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential UK tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of ordinary shares. The statements are based on current UK tax law and on the current published practice of His Majesty's Revenue and Customs, or HMRC (which may not be binding on HMRC), as of the date of this Annual Report, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retrospective effect. They are intended to address only certain UK tax consequences for holders of ordinary shares who are tax resident in (and only in) the United Kingdom, and in the case of individuals, domiciled in (and only in) the United Kingdom (except where expressly stated otherwise) who are the absolute beneficial owners of ordinary shares and any dividends paid on them and who hold ordinary shares as investments (other than in an individual savings account or a self-invested personal pension). They do not address the UK tax consequences which may be relevant to certain classes of holders of ordinary shares such as traders, brokers, dealers, banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, investment companies, collective investment schemes, tax-exempt organizations, trustees, persons connected with the Company or any member of the IHS Towers group for tax purposes, persons holding their ordinary shares as part of hedging or conversion transactions, holders of ordinary shares who have (or are deemed to have) acquired their ordinary shares by virtue of an office or employment, and holders of ordinary shares who are or have been officers or employees of the Company or a company forming part of the IHS Towers group for tax purposes. The statements do not apply to any holders of ordinary shares who either directly or indirectly hold or control 10% or more of the Company's share capital (or class thereof), voting power or profits.
The following is intended only as a general guide and is not intended to be, nor should it be considered to be, legal or tax advice to any particular prospective subscriber for, or purchaser of, ordinary shares. Accordingly, prospective subscribers
136
Table of Contents
for, or purchasers of, ordinary shares who are in any doubt as to their tax position regarding the acquisition, ownership and disposition of ordinary shares or who are subject to tax in a jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom should consult their own tax advisers.
The Company
It is the intention of the directors to conduct the affairs of the Company so that the central management and control of the Company is exercised in the United Kingdom. As a result, the Company is expected to be treated as resident in the United Kingdom for UK tax purposes. Accordingly we expect to be subject to UK taxation on our income and gains, except where an exemption applies.
We may be treated as a dual resident company for UK tax purposes. As a result, our right to claim certain reliefs from UK tax may be restricted, and changes in law or practice in the United Kingdom could result in the imposition of further restrictions on our right to claim UK tax reliefs.
Taxation of Dividends — Withholding tax
The Company will not be required to withhold UK tax at source when paying dividends. The amount of any liability to UK tax on dividends paid by the Company will depend on the individual circumstances of a Shareholder.
Taxation of Dividends — UK Resident Shareholders
An individual holder of ordinary shares who is resident for tax purposes in the UK may, depending on his or her particular circumstances, be subject to UK tax on dividends received from the Company.
All dividends received by a UK resident individual holder of ordinary shares from the Company or from other sources will form part of such holder's total income for income tax purposes and will constitute the top slice of that income. A nil rate of income tax will apply to the first £2,000 (tax year 2022/23,
expected to reduce to £1,000 from April 6, 2023 and to £500 from April 6, 2024) of taxable dividend income received by the holder of ordinary shares in a tax year. Income within the nil rate band will be taken into account in determining whether income in excess of the nil rate band falls within the basic rate, higher rate or additional rate tax bands. Where the dividend income is above the £2,000 (£1,000 from April 6, 2023 and £500 from April 6, 2024) dividend allowance, the first £2,000 (£1,000 from April 6, 2023 and £500 from April 6, 2024) of the dividend income will be charged at the nil rate and any excess amount will be taxed at 8.75 per cent. (tax year 2022/23) to the extent that the excess amount falls within the basic rate tax band, 33.75 per cent. (tax year 2022/23) to the extent that the excess amount falls within the higher rate tax band and 39.35 per cent. (tax year 2022/23) to the extent that the excess amount falls within the additional rate tax band.
Corporate holders of ordinary shares which are resident for tax purposes in the UK should not be subject to UK corporation tax on any dividend received from the Company so long as the dividends qualify for exemption (as is likely) and certain conditions are met (including anti-avoidance conditions). By way of example, dividends paid on shares that are not redeemable and do not carry any present or future preferential rights to dividends or to the Company's assets on its winding up will generally be exempt.
Taxation of Dividends — Non-UK Resident Shareholders
An individual holder of ordinary shares who is not resident for tax purposes in the United Kingdom should not be chargeable to UK income tax on dividends received from the Company unless he or she carries on (whether solely or in partnership) any trade, profession or vocation in the United Kingdom through a branch or agency to which the ordinary shares are attributable. There are certain exceptions for trading in the United Kingdom through independent agents, such as some brokers and investment managers.
Corporate holders of ordinary shares who are not resident in the United Kingdom will not generally be subject to UK corporation tax on dividends unless they are carrying on a trade, profession or vocation in the United Kingdom through a permanent establishment in connection with which their ordinary shares are used, held, or acquired.
137
Table of Contents
Taxation of Capital Gains — UK Resident Shareholders
A disposal or deemed disposal of ordinary shares by an individual or corporate holder of such ordinary shares who is tax resident in the United Kingdom may, depending on that holder's circumstances and subject to any available exemptions or reliefs, give rise to a chargeable gain or allowable loss for the purposes of UK taxation of chargeable gains.
Any chargeable gain (or allowable loss) will generally be calculated by reference to the consideration received for the disposal of ordinary shares less the allowable cost to that holder of acquiring such ordinary shares.
The applicable tax rates for UK resident individual holders of ordinary shares realizing a gain on the disposal of ordinary shares is, broadly, 10% for basic rate taxpayers (tax year 2022/23) and 20% for higher and additional rate taxpayers (tax year 2022/23).
For UK resident corporate holders of ordinary shares, the applicable tax rate is 19% (tax year 2022/23) on realizing a gain on the disposal of ordinary shares. The main rate of UK corporation tax is expected to increase to 25% from April 1, 2023.
Taxation of Capital Gains — Non-UK Shareholders
Holders of ordinary shares who are not resident in the United Kingdom and, in the case of an individual holder of ordinary shares, not temporarily non-resident, should not be liable for UK tax on capital gains realized on a sale or other disposal of ordinary shares unless (i) such ordinary shares are used, held or acquired for the purposes of a trade, profession or vocation carried on in the United Kingdom through a branch or agency or, in the case of a corporate holder of ordinary shares, through a permanent establishment or (ii) where certain conditions are met, the Company derives 75% or more of its gross value from UK land.
Generally, an individual holder of ordinary shares who has ceased to be resident in the United Kingdom for tax purposes for a period of five years or less and who disposes of ordinary shares during that period may be liable on their return to the United Kingdom to UK taxation on any capital gain realized (subject to any available exemption or relief).
UK Stamp Duty and UK Stamp Duty Reserve Tax
No UK Stamp Duty, or UK Stamp Duty Reserve Tax, or SDRT, will be payable on the issue of ordinary shares, subject to the comments below.
UK Stamp Duty will in principle be payable on any instrument of transfer of ordinary shares that is executed in the United Kingdom or that relates to any property situated, or to any matter or thing done or to be done, in the United Kingdom. An exemption from UK Stamp Duty is available on an instrument transferring ordinary shares where the amount or value of the consideration is £1,000 or less and it is certified on the instrument that the transaction effected by the instrument does not form part of a larger transaction or series of transactions in respect of which the aggregate amount or value of the consideration exceeds £1,000. Holders of ordinary shares should be aware that, even where an instrument of transfer is in principle subject to UK Stamp Duty, UK Stamp Duty is not required to be paid unless it is necessary to rely on the instrument for legal purposes, for example to register a change of ownership or in litigation in a UK court.
Provided that ordinary shares are not registered in any register maintained in the United Kingdom by or on behalf of us and are not paired with any shares issued by a UK incorporated company, any agreement to transfer ordinary shares will not be subject to SDRT. We currently do not intend that any register of ordinary shares will be maintained in the United Kingdom.
If ordinary shares were to be registered in a register maintained in the United Kingdom by or on behalf of us or paired with any shares issued by a UK incorporated company then, where ordinary shares are transferred or issued to, or to a nominee or agent for, a person whose business is or includes the provision of clearance services or issuing depositary receipts (but not including CREST), SDRT may be payable at a rate of 1.5% of the amount or value of the consideration payable for or, in certain circumstances, the market value of the ordinary shares. This liability for SDRT will strictly be accountable by the clearance service or depositary receipt system, as the case may be, but will, in practice, generally be reimbursed by participants in the clearance service or depositary receipt system.

Material United States Federal Income Taxation Considerations
The following discussion describes material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the ownership and disposition of ordinary shares. This summary applies only to U.S. Holders that hold ordinary shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (as defined below) and have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency.
This discussion is based on the tax laws of the United States as in effect on the date of this Annual Report, including the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and U.S. Treasury regulations in effect or, in some cases, proposed, as of the date of this Annual Report, as well as judicial and administrative interpretations thereof available on or before such date. All of the foregoing authorities are subject to change, and any such change could apply retroactively and could affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences described below. The statements in this Annual Report are not binding on the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, or any court, and thus we can provide no assurance that the U.S. federal income tax consequences discussed below will not be challenged by the IRS or will be sustained by a court if challenged by the IRS. Furthermore, this summary does not address any estate or gift tax consequences, any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences, the Medicare tax on net investment income or any other tax consequences other than U.S. federal income tax consequences.
The following discussion does not describe all the tax consequences that may be relevant to any particular holder of our ordinary shares or to persons in special tax situations such as:
●
banks and certain other financial institutions;
●
regulated investment companies;
●
real estate investment trusts;
●
insurance companies;
●
broker-dealers;
●
traders that elect to mark to market;
●
tax-exempt entities;
●
persons liable for alternative minimum tax;
●
U.S. expatriates;
●
persons holding ordinary shares as part of a straddle, hedging, constructive sale, conversion or integrated transaction;
●
persons that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the Company
'
s stock (by vote or value);
●
persons that are resident or ordinarily resident in or have a permanent establishment in a jurisdiction outside the United States;
●
persons who acquired ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of any employee share option or otherwise as compensation;
●
persons subject to special tax accounting rules
as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the ordinary shares being taken into account in an applicable financial statement; or
●
persons holding ordinary shares through partnerships or other pass-through entities.
HOLDERS OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS ABOUT THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL TAX RULES TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES AS WELL AS THE STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF ORDINARY SHARES.
139
Table of Contents
As used herein, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of ordinary shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as:
●
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
●
a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
●
an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
●
a trust that (1)
is subject to the supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more U.S. persons or (2)
has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
The tax treatment of a partner in an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes that holds ordinary shares generally will depend on such partner's status and the activities of the partnership. A U.S. Holder that is a partner in such partnership should consult its tax advisor.
Dividends and Other Distributions on Ordinary Shares
Subject to the passive foreign investment company considerations discussed below, the gross amount of distributions made by the Company with respect to ordinary shares (including the amount of any non-U.S. taxes withheld therefrom, if any) generally will be includible as dividend income in a U.S. Holder's gross income in the year received, to the extent such distributions are paid out of the Company's current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Because the Company does not maintain calculations of its earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles and does not expect to do so in the future, a U.S. Holder should expect all cash distributions will be reported as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to U.S. corporations with respect to dividends received from other U.S. corporations. Dividends paid to a non-corporate U.S. Holder may be treated as "qualified dividend income" eligible for the lower capital gains tax rate with respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders. The dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction available to corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations.
The amount of any distribution paid in foreign currency will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of such currency, translated at the spot rate of exchange on the date such distribution is received, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars at that time. Any gain or loss realized on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of such foreign currency will be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss.
Dividends on the ordinary shares generally will constitute foreign source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Subject to certain complex conditions and limitations, any foreign taxes withheld on any distributions on the ordinary shares may be eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder's federal income tax liability. For foreign tax credit purposes, dividends distributed by the Company with respect to ordinary shares will generally constitute "passive category income."
Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Ordinary Shares
Subject to the passive foreign investment company considerations discussed below, upon a sale or other taxable disposition of ordinary shares, a U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in such ordinary shares. Any such gain or loss generally will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder's holding period in the ordinary shares exceeds one year.
Non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on long-term capital gain at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations. Gain or loss, if any, realized by a U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of ordinary shares generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations
The Company will be classified as a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, for any taxable year if either: (a) at least 75% of its gross income is "passive income" for purposes of the PFIC rules or (b) at least 50% of the value of its assets (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of
140
Table of Contents
passive income. For this purpose, the Company will be treated as owning its proportionate share of the assets and earning its proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more (by value) of the stock.
Under the PFIC rules, if the Company were considered a PFIC at any time that a U.S. Holder holds the ordinary shares, the Company would continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such investment unless (i) the Company ceased to be a PFIC and (ii) the U.S. Holder made a "deemed sale" election under the PFIC rules.
Based on the composition of the income, assets and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, the Company does not believe that it currently is or has been a PFIC for the year ending December 31, 2022, and the Company does not expect to be a PFIC in the future. This is a factual determination, however, that can only be made annually after the close of each taxable year. In addition, the principles and methodology used in determining whether a company is a PFIC are subject to ambiguities and different interpretations. Therefore we cannot assure you that the Company will not be classified as a PFIC for the current taxable year. Furthermore, even if the Company is not a PFIC for the current year, the Company may become a PFIC in a future year depending on, for example, the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.
If the Company is considered a PFIC at any time that a U.S. Holder holds ordinary shares, any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on a sale or other disposition of the ordinary shares, as well as the amount of any "excess distribution" (defined below) received by the U.S. Holder, would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder's holding period for the ordinary shares. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other disposition (or the taxable year of receipt, in the case of an excess distribution) and to any year before the Company became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that taxable year, and an interest charge would be imposed. For the purposes of these rules, an excess distribution is the amount by which any distribution received by a U.S. Holder on ordinary shares exceeds 125% of the average of the annual distributions on the ordinary shares received during the preceding three years or the U.S. Holder's holding period, whichever is shorter. In addition, if the Company is a PFIC and any of its subsidiaries is also a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may also be subject to the adverse tax consequences described above with respect to any gain or "excess distribution" realized or deemed realized in respect of such subsidiary PFIC. Certain elections may be available that would result in alternative treatments (such as mark-to-market treatment) of the ordinary shares if the Company is considered a PFIC.
If the Company is considered a PFIC, a U.S. Holder will also be subject to annual information reporting requirements. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors about the potential application of the PFIC rules to the ordinary shares.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Dividend payments with respect to ordinary shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of ordinary shares may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and U.S. backup withholding. A U.S. Holder may be eligible for an exemption from backup withholding if the U.S. Holder furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification or is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status may be required to provide such certification on IRS Form W-9. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, and such U.S. Holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.
Additional Information Reporting Requirements
Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals (and certain entities) that hold an interest in "specified foreign financial assets" (which may include the ordinary shares) are required to report information relating to such assets, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for ordinary shares held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions). Penalties can apply if U.S. Holders fail to satisfy such reporting requirements. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of these requirements to their acquisition and ownership of ordinary shares.
THE DISCUSSION ABOVE IS A GENERAL SUMMARY. IT DOES NOT COVER ALL TAX MATTERS THAT MAY BE IMPORTANT TO YOU. EACH HOLDER OF ORDINARY SHARES SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR ABOUT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF OWNING ORDINARY SHARES UNDER THE HOLDER'S OWN CIRCUMSTANCES.

Item 14. Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders and Use of Proceeds
On October 13, 2021, we adopted our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association according to our board of directors' proposal. As a consequence of the adoption of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, our share capital was reorganized, and all of our outstanding Class A and Class B shares were exchanged on a 500 to 1 basis for ordinary shares.
A copy of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Annual Report. See Item 10.B. "Additional Information—Memorandum and Articles of Association."
Use of Proceeds
On October 13, 2021, the SEC declared effective our registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-259593), as amended, filed in connection with our IPO (the "Registration Statement"). As of the date of the filing of this Annual Report, all of the net proceeds have been applied to fund organic and inorganic growth and for other general corporate purposes, as described in the Registration Statement.
Item 15. Controls and Procedures
Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act")) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022. Based upon that evaluation and as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.
In light of this fact, our management has performed additional analyses, reconciliations, and other post-closing procedures and has concluded that, notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, the consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Annual Report on Form 20-F fairly state, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with IFRS.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
143
Table of Contents
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In conducting its evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, used the criteria established in
Internal Control—Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
As discussed in "Item 4B. Business Overview" and in "Note 31. Business Combinations" to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report, we completed the MTN SA Acquisition on May 31, 2022. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC, management excluded from its assessment the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, $457 million and $71 million, which reflects total assets and total revenues of the MTN SA Acquisition, constituting 7% and 4%, respectively, of our consolidated financial statement amounts as of, and for the year ended, December 31, 2022. The Company is in the process of incorporating the MTN SA Acquisition into its system of internal controls over financial reporting.
Based upon that evaluation and as a result of the material weaknesses described below, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS.
In connection with the audits of our historical consolidated financial statements, we identified three material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses, which are set out below, were previously reported in our Prospectus and our annual report on Form 20-F (as amended by our Form 20-F/A) for the year ended December 31, 2021:
●
Lack of key accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge and experience to account for complex transactions, particularly in the areas of foreign exchange, business combinations and other complex, judgmental areas, such as goodwill impairment assessment.
●
Lack of an adequate process and procedures surrounding the accounting for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment and utilization of advance payments made to contractors for the provision and construction of property, plant and equipment impacting the timely recognition of assets and commencement of depreciation.
●
Lack of appropriate internal communication, documentation of the facts, circumstances and judgements taken by management, identified during the course of the audit for the year ended December 31, 2020, resulting in the incomplete recording of transactions related to the recognition and settlement of revenues and receivables where the amounts concerned were subject to dispute or deferred invoicing.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, has audited, and reported on, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, included in its opinion of the audited consolidated financial statements of IHS Holding Limited, included elsewhere in this Annual Report and incorporated by reference.
Remediation Activities
We continue to take steps to remediate these material weaknesses and have hired additional qualified accounting and financial reporting personnel and engaged external temporary resources as needed. In addition, we monitored operation of controls to prevent the future occurrence of similar issues. We have modified and implemented policies and procedures centrally to develop effective internal control through a shared service center along with improvements to controls across the finance function.
We previously disclosed that, as a result of the testing of the design and operating effectiveness of controls, we were satisfied that the previously identified control deficiency related to the accounting for foreign exchange was remediated as
144
Table of Contents
of December 31, 2021. While progress is being made on the other aspects of the material weaknesses historically identified, we are continuing to enhance our internal control over financial reporting and are still in the process of implementing, documenting and testing these processes, procedures and controls.
While we believe these efforts can remediate the three material weaknesses, these material weaknesses cannot be considered fully remediated until the applicable remedial controls are fully implemented, operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, has audited the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, as stated in their report which appears herein under Item 18. "Financial Statements".
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than as set forth above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 16A. Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our Board has determined that Nicholas Land, Ursula Burns and Aniko Szigetvari each satisfy the "independence" requirements set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Our board of directors has also determined that Nicholas Land is considered an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 16A of Form 20-F under the Exchange Act.
Item 16B. Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Conduct and Business Principles, which covers a broad range of matters including the handling of conflicts of interest, compliance issues and other corporate policies such as equal opportunity and non-discrimination standards. This Code of Conduct and Business Principles applies to all of our executive officers, directors and employees, including our principal executive, principal financial and principal accounting officers. Our Code of Conduct and Business Principles is intended to meet the definition of "code of ethics" under Item 16B of 20-F under the Exchange Act.
We will disclose on our website any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our Code of Conduct and Business Principles that applies to our directors or executive officers to the extent required under the rules of the SEC or NYSE.
Our Code of Conduct and Business Principles is available on the Investor Relations page of our website at ihstowers.com/investors. The information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference in this Annual Report.

Item 16G. Corporate Governance
We are a "foreign private issuer" (as such term is defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act), and our shares are listed on the NYSE. Under the NYSE rules, NYSE listed companies that are foreign private issuers are permitted to follow home country practice in lieu of the corporate governance provisions specified by the NYSE with limited exceptions.
We believe the following to be the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those applicable to U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards.
●
The NYSE rules require that the quorum for any meeting of the holders of shares should be sufficiently high to ensure a representative vote and give careful consideration to provisions fixing any proportion less than a majority of the outstanding shares as the quorum for shareholders' meetings. We follow the corporate governance practice of our home country, the Cayman Islands, which permits less than a majority of the outstanding shares as the quorum for shareholders' meetings.
146
Table of Contents
●
The NYSE rules also require shareholder approval for equity compensation plans and material revisions to those plans. We follow the corporate governance practice of our home country, the Cayman Islands, which does not require shareholder approval for these matters.
We may in the future decide to use other foreign private issuer exemptions with respect to some or all of the other NYSE listing requirements. For example, under the NYSE rules, U.S. domestic listed, non-controlled companies are required to have a majority independent board, which is not required under the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands, our home country. NYSE rules also require U.S. domestic listed, non-controlled companies to have a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee, each composed entirely of independent directors, which are not required under our home country laws.
Following our home country governance practices may provide less protection than is given to investors under the NYSE listing requirements applicable to domestic issuers. For more information, see Item 3.D. "Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Ownership of our Ordinary Shares — We are a foreign private issuer and, as a result, we are not subject to U.S. proxy rules and are not subject to Exchange Act reporting obligations that, to some extent, are more lenient and less frequent than those of a U.S. domestic public company" and "Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Ownership of our Ordinary Shares — As we are a "foreign private issuer" and follow certain home country corporate governance practices, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all NYSE corporate governance requirements."

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of IHS Holding Limited
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of IHS Holding Limited and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of loss and other comprehensive income/(loss), of changes in equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the COSO because material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existed as of that date related to (i) a lack of key accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge and experience to account for complex transactions, (ii) a lack of an adequate process and procedures related to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment and the commencement of depreciation, and (iii) a failure to maintain appropriate evidence related to judgements  related to the recognition and settlement of revenues and receivables.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses referred to above are described in Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 15. We considered these material weaknesses in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2022 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in management's report referred to above. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company's consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

​
As described in Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded the towers business acquired from MTN South Africa ("MTN SA Acquisition") from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 because it was acquired by the Company in a business combination during 2022.  We have also excluded the MTN SA Acquisition from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. The MTN SA Acquisition has total assets and total revenues excluded from management's assessment and our audit of internal control over financial reporting representing 7% and 4%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the Audit Committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
​
Revenue Recognition - Estimates of Amounts Recoverable and Unbilled
​
As described in notes 2.5, 3.6, 6 and 19 to the consolidated financial statements, revenue is derived from fees paid by customers for services from the colocation business and its ancillary managed services. Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $2.0 billion and accrued revenue as of December 31, 2022 amounted to $86.2 million.  Initial recognition of revenue is estimated based on an assessment of the recoverability of revenue taking into account the Company's contractual rights to consideration, its exposure to each customer's credit risk and management's practice of managing credit risk exposure through the occasional negotiation of price concessions with customers.  Only amounts expected to be recovered at the point of initial recognition are recognized in revenue, and the remainder is considered variable consideration contingent upon the receipt of funds from the customer.  The assessment of amounts expected to be recovered is closely aligned with the assumed credit risk of the customer, determined as part of the assessment of expected credit losses made in accordance with the Company's IFRS 9 expected credit loss policy. Under this policy, management assesses the credit risk of the customer to evaluate the customer's capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations. Management also estimates revenue for services provided where billing is not yet completed, including in respect of 1) tower sites coming into service, or changes in customer implemented technologies since the most recent invoicing cycle, and 2) services subject to ongoing negotiation regarding price or other contract interpretation disputes with customers, based primarily on historical experience.  Management recognises revenue upon the satisfaction of performance obligations on the basis of the expected outcome of such disputed matters.
​
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition - estimates of amounts recoverable and unbilled is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment and estimation required by management in determining (i) the recoverability of revenue and the related estimate of variable consideration and (ii) the expected outcome of negotiations with customers regarding unbilled and disputed matters. This in turn led to a high degree of subjectivity, judgment and effort in performing procedures relating to management's assessment of (i) the
F-3
Table of Contents
​
amounts expected to be recovered, including significant assumptions related to the credit risk of the customer, and (ii) the expected outcome of negotiations with customers. As described in the "Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting" section, a material weakness was identified in relation to this matter.
​
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements.  These procedures included, among others: (i) inspecting a sample of contracts to evaluate the treatment of unusual terms; (ii) testing management's methods to estimate the variable consideration and the amount of revenue in respect of disputed matters; (iii) testing the accuracy of underlying data used in the calculation of these estimates; (iv) evaluating management's assumption of customer credit risk and recoverability when estimating the variable consideration assigned to contracts at initial recognition; and (v) considering historical experience in collection of amounts where billing is delayed.
​
Goodwill Impairment
​
As described in notes 2.13, 2.14, 15 and 15.1 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company's goodwill balance as of December 31, 2022 was $760.3 million. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $121.6 million in 2022 in the IHS Latam towers businesses group of CGUs.  To undertake the goodwill impairment review, the carrying value of the cash generating unit (CGU) or group of CGUs containing goodwill is compared to the estimated recoverable amount, which is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal.  An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount.  The recoverable amount of each CGU, or group of CGUs, except for the IHS Latam tower businesses group of CGUs and the I-Systems CGU was determined based on their value in use.  The recoverable amount of the IHS Latam tower businesses group of CGUs and the I-Systems CGU was determined based on fair value less costs of disposal. The key assumptions to which these recoverable amount calculations are most sensitive are revenue growth (taking into account tenancy rates and, for the I-Systems CGU, homes connected), gross margins, terminal growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and costs of disposal.
​
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to goodwill impairment is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment and estimation required by management in developing the estimated recoverable amount; (ii) the high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and in evaluating management's valuation methods, calculations and significant assumptions related to revenue growth, gross margins, terminal growth rates, weighted average cost of capital, and costs of disposal; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialised skill and knowledge. As described in the "Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting" section, a material weakness was identified in relation to this matter.
​
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included, among others: (i) assessing management's process for developing the estimated recoverable amounts; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the value in use and fair value less costs of disposal models; (iii) testing the completeness, accuracy and relevance of underlying data used in the estimate; and (iv) evaluating significant assumptions used by management related to revenue growth, gross margins, terminal growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and costs of disposal. Evaluating significant assumptions used by management involved determining whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering: (i) the current and past performance of the relevant CGUs; (ii) the consistency with external market data; and (iii) whether those assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialised skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the weighted average cost of capital, terminal growth rate and costs of disposal assumptions within management's models.

IHS HOLDING LIMITED
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
​
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
General information
These consolidated financial statements are the financial statements of IHS Holding Limited ('the Company') and its subsidiaries (together hereafter referred to as 'the Group' or 'IHS'). IHS Holding Limited is incorporated in the Cayman Islands under the Companies Act (as amended) as an exempted company with limited liability. The Company is domiciled in the Cayman Islands and the address of its registered office is 190 Elgin Avenue, George Town, Grand Cayman KY1-9008, Cayman Islands.
IHS is principally involved in providing infrastructure for the telecommunications industry. The consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars ($) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousands, except where otherwise indicated.
These consolidated financial statements have been authorized for issue on March 27, 2023 by the Board of Directors.
2.
Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
2.1
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of IHS have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by financial assets and liabilities (including derivative financial instruments) which are recognized at fair value.
2.1.1
Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
(a)
New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the Group
The Group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for its annual reporting period commencing January 1, 2022:
​
●
Annual Improvements to IFRS: 2018-2020 Cycle
●
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Amendments to IFRS 3)
●
Onerous contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract – Amendments to IAS 37
●
Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use – Amendments to IAS 16
​
The amendments to standards listed above did not have any material impact
on the Group's financial statements.
​
(b)
New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted by the Group
Certain new accounting standards, interpretations and amendments have been published that are not effective for December 31, 2022 reporting period and have not been early adopted by the Group. They are:
​
●

●
Definition of Accounting Estimates – Amendments to IAS 8
F-9
Table of Contents
​
​
IHS HOLDING LIMITED
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
​
●
Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction – Amendments to IAS 12
●
Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture – Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28
●
Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback Amendments to IFRS 16
●
Non-current Liabilities with Covenants Amendments to IAS 1
​
The Company is in the process of analysing the impact of the amendments to IAS 12 which are expected to impact the gross values of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities disclosed in the notes to the financial st
atements with no material impact on the net assets of the Group. Other than this, n
one of the above amendments to standards are expected to have a material effect on the Group's financial statements.
2.2.
Consolidation
(a)
Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements include the financial information and results of the Company and those entities in which it has a controlling interest. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date the control ceases. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
(b)
Business Combinations
For acquisitions that meet the definition of a business combination, the Group applies the acquisition method of accounting where assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value at the date of each acquisition, and the results of operations are included with those of the Group from the dates of the respective acquisitions. Any excess of the purchase price paid by the Group over the amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill and any acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets.
The consideration transferred for the acquisition comprises the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred, equity interests issued by the Group and any contingent consideration. Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.
If the Group gains control in a business combination in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss.
Where the group acquires a portfolio of tower assets and associated revenue contracts judgement is required in the determining whether the transaction meets the definition of a business combination.  The Group makes this judgement on a case by case basis taking into account the specific facts and circumstances of each transaction including the substance of other elements of the transactions such as transferred systems, processes, workforce and novated supplier contracts.
The Group has considered whether any of its business combinations represent a sale and leaseback transaction from a lessor perspective. It has been determined that since the space on towers and associated assets are able to be leased to multiple tenants without restriction, that no such arrangement of the entire tower site portfolio acquired exists.

CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
​
(c)
Transactions with non-controlling interests
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with equity owners of the Company. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognized in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of the Company.
2.3
Segment reporting
Operating segments are components of IHS' business activities about which separate financial statements are available and reported internally to the chief operating decision maker. The Group's Executive Committee has been identified as the chief operating decision maker, responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
The Group's Executive Committee currently consists of the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), the Chief Operating Officer ("COO"), the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), the General Counsel, the IHS Nigeria CEO, the Chief Strategy Officer, the Chief Human Resource Officer and the Executive Vice President of Communications.
Where operating segments share similar characteristics, they have been aggregated into reportable segments, of which the Group has identified
four
: Nigeria, Sub Saharan Africa ("SSA"), Middle East and North Africa ("MENA") and Latin America ("Latam").
2.4
Foreign currency translation
(a)
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars.
(b)
Existence of multiple official exchange rates
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Central Bank of Nigeria introduced a new foreign exchange window, which includes the NAFEX (Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange Fixing). This resulted in a situation where there are several different official exchange rates in the market, thereby requiring the Company to monitor and evaluate which exchange rate is most appropriate to apply in translating foreign currency transactions in its Nigeria businesses and in translating Naira amounts for Group reporting purposes.
Where multiple official exchange rates exist, the Group assesses the appropriate rate to use and takes into account relevant factors. In the case of translating foreign operations or foreign transactions, such factors include access to those rates in the future to meet payments or dividends. In determining whether it is appropriate to move from one official rate to another, the Group considers the available rates in official markets for settlement of transactions. Refer to note 3 for further information.
(c)
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of each entity using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the statement of income and other comprehensive income within "finance income" or "finance cost." Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to other monetary items are presented in the statement of income and other comprehensive income within "cost of sales," "administrative expense" and "other income" as appropriate.

IHS HOLDING LIMITED
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
​
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities designated as fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized in other comprehensive income.
The subsidiaries based in Nigeria translated their foreign currency transactions into the functional currency, Nigerian Naira, at the Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange Fixing ("NAFEX") prevailing rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary items and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies were also translated at the NAFEX rate.
The NAFEX rate was between
416.00
and
461.50
during 2022 (2021:
394.13
and
435
, 2020:
363.2
and
410.25
) and at December 31, 2022 was
461.506
(December 31,2021:
435.00
, December 31, 2020:
410.25
). Both years experienced a spike in the month of December of that year, with the average rate for December 2022 being
451.01
(2021:
415.6
, 2020:
394.3
). Refer to note 3 for further information on foreign exchange rate assessment.
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper inflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
●
assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position,
●
income and expenses for each statement of income and other comprehensive income are translated at the monthly average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions), and
●
all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations and of borrowings are taken to other comprehensive income.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income.
The results of the subsidiaries based in Nigeria were translated into US Dollars at the NAFEX monthly average exchange rate for income and expenses and the assets and liabilities at the NAFEX closing rate at the date of the statement of financial position with rates as noted above. Refer to note 3 for further information.
2.5
Revenue recognition
Our revenue is derived from fees paid by our customers for services from our colocation business and its ancillary managed services.
The colocation business involves the lease of space on IHS owned and leased towers and our fixed copper and fibre network infrastructure, which are shared by various operators and data service providers. Revenue is generated on towers either from anchor tenants (original tenants on towers) or colocation tenants (subsequent tenants) when they install equipment on towers and on cable and fibre networks from tenants when they use the fixed network infrastructure to provide connectivity to/from towers or to provide broadband services to their customers. A portion of colocation arrangements for the rental of space on the towers, other assets on tower sites on which the use of space is dependent and the use of fixed copper and fibre network infrastructure dedicated to an individual customer is within the scope of IFRS 16 Leases. A portion of colocation arrangements for the provision of services, energy charges and use of shared fixed copper and fibre network infrastructure is within the scope of IFRS 15 'Revenue from contracts with customers' as a provision of service. The Group also offers ancillary services to manage tenant operations of existing customers on a limited basis. Revenue from such managed services is within the scope of IFRS 15 'Revenue from contracts with customers'.

​
In determining the amounts of colocation revenue from our contracts with customers that fall within the scope of IFRS 15 or IFRS 16, the Group considers whether there are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated and revenue recognized separately.
For colocation services the Group determines the transaction price (including lease and non-lease elements) at contract inception and considers the effects of:
●
Variable consideration - The contractual price may be subject to service credits, price indexation, discounts provided on site consolidation and discounts associated with site occupancy. All of these items of variable consideration are considered to relate to individual service periods of series performance obligations, or represent contingent rentals, and are therefore recognized in the future periods in which they arise rather than when estimating the transaction price at contract inception.
●
The existence of significant financing components - Financing components are not expected to be significant as services and payments are generally in line over the period of the contract.
●
Consideration payable to the customer (if any) - Payments to customers (such as rebates and discounts refunded to the customer and payments for exit fees) are deducted from transaction price unless they are payments for a distinct good or service supplied to the Group in return for the payments.
At the date of contract inception, the Group determines the stand-alone selling prices of the performance obligations (including the lease elements of the contract) using a combination of data on observable prices from comparable managed service arrangements, supplemented by the cost plus a margin approach. The Group allocates the transaction price to these non-lease elements of the contract and between performance obligations within the non-lease element of the contract on the basis of relative stand-alone selling price.
Revenue is typically invoiced quarterly in advance except where a deferral of invoicing has been agreed with a customer such as where there is an ongoing dispute over pricing in which case revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of performance obligations on the basis of the expected outcome of such disputes. Customer contracts typically require payment within 30 to 60 days.
(a)
Colocation services revenue (non-lease)
For non-lease revenue,
two
separate performance obligations have typically been identified, one in respect of the operation of tower infrastructure and one in respect of the provision of maintenance services and power, with each being a series of performance obligations to stand ready to deliver the required services.
The identification of these
two
performance obligations does not change the timing of revenue recognition of the non-lease component as both are typically satisfied over the same time period. In limited cases, contracts may provide the customer with a right to purchase additional services at a significant discount. In these cases, the material right is also identified as a performance obligation.
On initial recognition of revenue, the Group assesses the recoverability of revenue taking into account our contractual rights and obligations to consideration, our exposure to our customer's credit risk and our practice of managing credit risk exposure through the occasional negotiation of price concessions with customers and recognizes the revenue, in respect of satisfied performance obligations, which is expected to be recovered. Recognition of amount not expected to be recovered is considered variable consideration and is contingent upon the receipt of funds from the customer (see note 3.6). The assessment of amounts expected to be recovered are closely aligned with the assumed credit risk of the customer, determined as part of the assessment of expected credit losses made in accordance with the Group's IFRS 9 expected credit loss policy as described in note 2.16.4.
(b)
Colocation services revenue for which the Group is a lessor
The portion of colocation revenue, for which IHS is the lessor, is treated as a lease. Contracts are assessed at inception to determine whether this element of the colocation services are finance or operating leases. At present all arrangements are
F-13

​
assessed to be operating leases with revenue including fixed escalation clauses present in non-cancellable lease agreements recognized on a straight line basis over the current lease term of the related lease agreements, when collectability is reasonably assured. The duration of these lease arrangements is typically between
5
and
10 years
. Escalation clauses tied to the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") or other inflation based indices, are excluded from the straight line calculation, however, any fixed increases are included.
Revenue is recognized in the accounting period in which the rental income is earned and services are rendered. Amounts billed or received for services prior to being earned are deferred and reflected in deferred revenue until the criteria for recognition have been met.
(c)
Managed services revenue
Revenue from managed services contracts with customers is recognized when the services are delivered at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those services.
Revenue is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered by reference to the stage of completion based on the terms of each contract. Services revenues are derived under contracts or arrangements with customers that provide for billings either on a fixed price basis or a variable price basis, which includes factors such as time and expenses. Revenues are recognized as services are performed. Amounts billed or received for services prior to being earned are deferred and reflected in deferred revenue in the accompanying statement of financial position until the criteria for recognition have been met.
2.6
Embedded derivatives in revenue contracts
Certain revenue contracts and subsequent amendments include fees that are priced in $ but are invoiced and settled in the relevant local currency of the operation using foreign exchange rates calculated in accordance with the contractual terms.
Where the contractual foreign exchange rates are reset at regular intervals in arrears, management evaluates and determines at the date of inception, or at the date of material modification, of the contracts whether the reset features are closely related to the host contracts or not.
For existing contracts in making the evaluation, management assessed that the $ is a commonly used currency in the local operation, and that the reset interval is sufficiently frequent to approximate the local currency spot exchange rate given economic conditions at that time. Management also considers whether, at the time of inception or material modification, contract rates reference a liquid market exchange rate. If reference rates are assessed as liquid the embedded derivative is assessed as closely related and no accounting bifurcation is made.
Where such fees that are priced in $ are translated to local currency at the time of billing using a fixed, pre-determined exchange rate or an exchange rate which is not referenced to a liquid market exchange rate, this results in an embedded derivative which is not closely related to the host contract and is thus bifurcated, fair valued and disclosed separately. The fair values of these embedded derivatives are determined by reference to the discounted forecast billings under the contractual rates compared to those under the forecast liquid market rates.
Upon initial recognition of a revenue embedded derivative asset or liability, the Group recognizes a contract liability or asset, respectively. The contract liability or asset is released to revenue over the shorter of the term of the contract or the term over which the conditions that result in the embedded derivative expire. The release to revenue is recognized on the same basis that those contractual conditions materialize, to match the release of the contract liability or asset to the recognition of revenue from the underlying contract.
2.7
Leases
The Group is a lessee of various assets, comprising land and building, towers, equipment and motor vehicles. The determination whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on whether the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
F-14

​
The following sets out the Group's lease accounting policy for all leases with the exception of leases with low-value (i.e. < $5,000) and short term of less than 12 months for which the Group has taken the exemption under the standard and are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.
(a)
Lease assets
The Group recognizes right of use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use under the contract). Right of use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right of use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date (which do not form part of the lease liability value at the commencement date). Right of use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful life and the lease term.
The right-of-use assets are tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets".
(b)
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of all remaining lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments where the contracts specify fixed or minimum uplifts) and variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate.
The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as an expense in the period in which the
event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
Due to the nature of our leased assets the interest rate implicit in the lease is usually not readily determinable, the Group therefore uses the incremental borrowing rate in calculating the present value of lease payments at the lease commencement date. The incremental borrowing rate is calculated using a series of inputs, including: a local currency cost of debt for each country based on local borrowing (or where not available, an inflation adjusted US$ cost of debt which encompasses the country specific adjustment), an adjustment for the duration of the referenced borrowings to arrive at an interest rate for a one-year facility, and an adjustment for the lease term based on local government, US or Eurozone bond yields, as appropriate in the context of each country's debt markets.
The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term or a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments.
The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised and any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain that the termination options will not be exercised.
The Group has the option under some of its leases to lease the assets for additional periods of up to
10 years
. The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it has a unilateral option to renew the lease for a further period and is reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew (note 3). That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise (or not to exercise) the option to renew.
2.8
Cost of sales
Cost of sales is mainly comprised of power generation costs, depreciation, tower repairs and maintenance costs, operational staff and costs and site rental costs.

​
2.9
Administrative expenses
Administrative expenses are costs not directly related to provision of services to customers, but which support our business as a whole. These overhead expenses primarily consist of administrative staff costs (including key management compensation), office rent and related property expenses, insurance, travel costs, professional fees, depreciation and amortization of administrative assets, net (gain)/loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment and other sundry costs.
Administrative expenses also includes other corporate overhead expenses related to the Group's acquisition efforts and costs associated with new business initiatives.
2.10
Other income
Other income includes proceeds from insurance claims and the remeasurement of contingent consideration arising from acquisitions.
2.11
Interest income
Interest income is recognized in profit or loss and is calculated using the effective interest method as set out in IFRS 9.
2.12
Property, plant and equipment
These are mainly towers and towers equipment, fiber telecommunications network cables and equipment, land and buildings, furniture and office equipment, motor vehicles and capital work in progress that are used directly by the Group in the provision of services to customers, or for administrative purposes. The assets are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets including amounts related to the cost of future decommissioning and site restoration obligations.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost can be measured reliably.
The carrying amount of the replaced asset is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Freehold land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

​
asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss for the period. The Group assesses its property, plant and equipment for possible impairment if there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that carrying values of the assets may not be recoverable, or at least at the end of every reporting period. Such indicators include changes in the Group's business plans, changes in diesel prices, evidence of physical damage and technological changes and impacts of obsolescence including those driven by climate change.
2.13
Intangible assets and goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of businesses and represents the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured at fair value is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in profit or loss.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units ("CGUs"), or groups of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at or below the operating segment level. Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of the CGU containing the goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs of disposal. Any impairment is recognized immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.
(a)
Network and customer related intangible assets
Network related intangible assets represent future income from leasing excess tower capacity to new tenants. Customer related intangible assets represent customer contracts and relationships. Network and customer-related intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Network and customer-related intangible assets have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of network and customer related intangible assets over their estimated useful lives of
14

(2021:

) respectively.
(b)
Licenses
Separately acquired licenses are shown at historical cost. Licenses acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Licenses have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of
3
-
15 years
(2021:
3
-
15 years
, 2020:
3
-

).
(c)
Computer software
Costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are recognized as expenses as incurred. Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized at the cost incurred to acquire and bring into use the software. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of
three
to
five years
.
2.14
Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired (note 3). Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its
F-17

​
​
IHS HOLDING LIMITED
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
​
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
2.15
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and estimated net realizable value. Cost comprises direct materials costs and where applicable, direct labor costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. If the carrying value exceeds net realizable amount, a write down is recognized. The write-down may be reversed in a subsequent period if the circumstances which caused it no longer exist. In other instances, where the net realizable value of an inventory item is not readily determinable, management assesses the age and the risk of obsolescence of such items in determining net realizable value of such items using an appropriate age/obsolescence factor model.
2.16
Financial assets
2.16.1
Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
●
those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income (OCI) or through profit or loss), and
●
those to be measured at amortized cost.
The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
2.16.2
Recognition and derecognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
2.16.3
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.
a)
Debt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group's business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. The Group measures its debt instruments at amortized cost as assets are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognized directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of income and other comprehensive income.
F-18
Table of Contents
​
​
IHS HOLDING LIMITED
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
​
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are reflected within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.
b)
Equity instruments
The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. The Group has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI. There is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment.
2.16.4
Impairment
The Group evaluates each customer individually for the purpose of estimating the impairment at the reporting date rather than using a portfolio approach. The Group has limited history of losses and given the short duration of receivables, the Group uses the experienced credit judgement (ECJ) approach to estimate the impairment of trade receivables in accordance with the expected credit loss (ECL) requirement of IFRS 9.
The ECJ approach assesses the credit risk of the customer at the reporting date to evaluate the customer's capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and combines this with an evaluation of the impact of changes in economic and business conditions on the customer's ability to pay.
2.17
Financial liabilities
2.17.1 Classification
The Group's financial liabilities are classified at amortized cost. Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and inclusive of directly attributable transaction costs. The Group's financial liabilities are borrowings and trade and other payables.
(a)
Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in the statement of income and other comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.
A day one gain or loss on intercompany loans at a non-market interest rate is included in investments.
Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in the statement of income and other comprehensive income as other income or finance costs. Where the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and the entity issues equity instruments to a creditor to extinguish all or part of the liability (debt for equity swap), a gain or loss is recognized in the statement of income and other comprehensive income, which is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability and the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
F-19

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
​
(b)
Trade payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
2.18
Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives are financial instruments that derive their value from an underlying price or index. A derivative instrument gives one party a contractual right to exchange financial assets and financial liabilities with another party under conditions that are potentially favorable or financial liabilities with another party under conditions that are potentially unfavorable. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period.
Where we have an obligation to purchase non-controlling interest that will be settled for a variable number of own shares, rather than cash, another financial asset, or a fixed number of shares, our policy is to treat this as a derivative transaction and measure it at fair value in the statement of income.
2.19
Embedded derivatives
An embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid (combined) instrument that also includes a non-derivative host contract. An embedded derivative causes some or all of the cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract to be modified according to a specified interest rate, financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates or other variable (provided in the case of a non-financial variable that the variable is not specific to a party to the contract).
An embedded derivative is only separated and reported at fair value with gains and losses being recognized in the statement of income and other comprehensive income when the following requirements are met:
●
where the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not clearly and closely related to those of the host contract;
●
the terms of the embedded derivative are the same as those of a stand-alone derivative; and
●
the combined contract is not held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss.
The Group's listed bonds include embedded put and call features which are bifurcated at the time of issuance of the bonds.
The Group has analyzed the 2027 Notes issued in September 2019 along with the 2026 and 2028 notes issued in November 2021 and has identified free standing call and put options embedded in the listed bonds that required separate valuation.
​
The Group employed valuation techniques commonly used by market participants to evaluate bonds with embedded options, including discounted cash flow and option pricing models, and makes maximum reference to market inputs. The techniques adopted include the major factors that market participants would consider in setting a price and are consistent with accepted economic methodologies for pricing financial instruments. The options are valued equivalent to an American Receiver Swaption under the Hull & White Model.
​
A significant portion of the Group's contracted revenue pricing is denominated in US Dollars and the amount of local currency due is determined by reference to the US Dollar amount invoiced, translated at the spot rate or an average rate to the respective subsidiary. This represents an embedded foreign currency derivative in a host contract.
F-20

CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
​
Management's judgement is that where fees that are priced in US$ are translated to local currency at the time of billing using a liquid market exchange rate, derivatives are not bifurcated as at the time the contracts are entered into. They are considered closely related to the host contract since they are denominated in a currency that is commonly used in the regions that the Group operates in (US Dollar being a relatively stable and liquid currency that is commonly used for pricing in local business transactions and trade).
Where fees priced in US$ are translated to local currency at the time of billing using a fixed, pre-determined exchange rate, or an exchange rate which is not referenced to a liquid market exchange rate, derivatives are bifurcated at the time the contracts are entered into.
2.20
Current and deferred income tax
(a)
Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is recognized in full, using the liability method, on all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from initial recognition of goodwill and deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability, in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
(b)
Current income tax
Current income tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Group measures its tax balances either based on the most likely amount or the expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.
2.21
Employee benefits
(a)
Defined contribution schemes
The Group operates a number of defined contribution plans which are funded by contributions from the Group and the employees based on the law ruling in each country. The amounts contributed by the Group is recognized as employee benefit expenses and are charged to profit or loss in the period to which the contributions relate. The Group has no further payment obligation once the contributions have been paid. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payment is available.

​
(b)
Short-term employee benefits
Short term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(c)
Other long-term employee benefits
The Group's net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Remeasurements are recognized in the statement of income and other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
2.22
Share-based payments
The Group operates a number of equity settled, share-based compensation plans, under which the entity receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the Company. Equity settled share-based payment obligations granted to employees are measured at their fair value (at the date of grant or the date of amendment in the case of modification of terms) and the fair value is recognized as an expense in profit or loss, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions (for example, profitability, sales growth targets are expected to be met), such that the amount ultimately recognized is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date (note 3).
In the event of a modification of the terms of the share-based instruments, if the fair value of the new amended instruments is greater than the fair value of the original instruments as at the modification date, then for options vested at the modification date, the incremental fair value is recognized in profit or loss immediately and for unvested options, the incremental amount is recognized in profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.
In prior periods, and up to the 10 July 2019, the share-based compensation plans operated by the Group were classified and accounted for as cash-settled instruments. Options were measured at their fair value (at the date of grant) and the fair value was recognized as an expense in profit or loss with a corresponding liability recognized. Cash settled share-based payment liabilities were remeasured at the end of each reporting period up to the date of settlement, with any changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. At the end of each reporting period and up to 10 July 2019, the Group revised its estimates of the number of options that were expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions and service conditions and recognized the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to liability. Refer to note 28 for further information.
2.23
Decommissioning and site restoration obligations
The Group makes provision for any future cost of decommissioning of its telecommunication towers where required by regulation or land lease terms. These costs are expected to be incurred within a period of up to
20 years
depending on the term of the leasehold. The Group estimates this provision using existing technology at current prices as quoted by decommissioning experts, escalated at the relevant inflation factor. The inflated decommissioning provision is subsequently discounted to present value using the Group's incremental borrowing rate for borrowings over the expected term of the leasehold. The timing of each decommissioning will depend on the term of the lease and whether or not the lessor intends to renew the rental contract. A corresponding amount is recognized as part of property, plant and equipment. This is subsequently depreciated as part of the tower. Other than the unwinding discount on the provision, any change in the present value of the estimated expenditure is reflected as an adjustment to the provision and the corresponding item of property, plant and equipment.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain judgements, accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for the assets and liabilities as at the end of the reporting period and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. The nature of the estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. The key sources of judgment and estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are discussed below.
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
(a)
Key accounting judgements
3.1
Going Concern—Russia and Ukraine conflict
The Russia and Ukraine conflict has impacted global diesel prices as well as the supply chain for raw materials such as steel and for equipment, including batteries. In addition, the conflict has also impacted global financial markets leading to higher interest rates and inflation. The Group has no direct operations in Ukraine or trading with sanctioned individuals and companies.
The below table outlines Management's assessment of and response to the main risks arising from the current uncertain situation regarding the Russia and Ukraine conflict. These risks inherently impact the significant judgements and estimates made by management.

Assessment
Risk discussion and response
Revenue and profitability
·
Limited impact on revenue collections thus far.
·
Customers continue to perform, and we have not experienced significant deterioration in payments.
·
The Group has long-term revenue contracts with its customers amounting to
$
13.3
billion in contracted revenue.
·
Our ability to collect revenue from our customers is impacted by our customers' ability to generate and collect revenues from their operations. Our customers have, in the main, seen an increased demand for their services.
·
The impact on collections has thus far been limited and the Group remains in constant conversation with customers regarding their liquidity and ability to meet their obligations.
·
The Group regularly reviews measures for cost savings whilst maintaining its ability to operate effectively and towards strategic goals.
·
The Group has continued to invest in capital expenditure which supports revenue growth. The Group will continue to invest in capital expenditure relating to revenue growth during 2023.
Liquidity
·
Sufficient liquidity is available.
·
No current impact on going concern.
·
The Group has cash and cash equivalents of
$
514
million as at December 31, 2022.
·
Management has assessed current cash reserves and the availability of undrawn facilities and continues to monitor available liquidity in the context of ongoing operational requirements and planned capital expenditure.
·
In the context of current commitments and available liquidity, management believes that the going concern assumption remains appropriate.
·
All of the Group's operations are cash generative.

Access to USD
·
Moderate risk due to decreased availability.
​
·
While there has been a reduction in US Dollar liquidity in the Nigerian market, we were still able to source US Dollars locally to fund our semi-annual coupons during the year.
​
Internal controls
·
Minimal impact to date.
​
·
Our IT team monitors the increased risk of fraud, data or security breaches, loss of data and the potential for other cyber-related attacks and utilises security measures to mitigate such risks.
​
Supply chain
·
Moderate risk due to delays.
·
The Group works closely with suppliers and contractors to ensure availability of supplies on site, especially diesel supplies which are critical to many of our operations.
·
Regular maintenance of our towers continues while observing strict safety guidelines for our employees and our suppliers and contractors.
​
​
Due to the uncertainty of the Russia and Ukraine conflict we will continue to assess the situation. As part of their regular assessment of the Group's liquidity and financing position, the Directors have prepared detailed forecasts for a period which extends beyond 12 months after the date of approval of these financial statements. In assessing the forecasts, the Directors have considered:
●
the current economic conditions in the operating markets and how that impacts trading;
●
the impact of macroeconomic factors, particularly interest rates and foreign exchange rates;
●
the status of the Group's financial arrangements (see also note 19);
●
mitigating actions available should business activities fall behind current expectations; and
●
additional sensitivity analysis under a stressed scenario to assess the impact of a severe but plausible downside case.
Whilst inherently uncertain, and we expect some impact to our operations and performance, we currently do not believe that the Russia and Ukraine conflict will directly have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or liquidity for the foreseeable future. Having carefully considered this and the other factors noted above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and the Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial statements and to operate within the covenant levels of its current debt facilities. The Directors therefore continue to consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
3.2
Assessment of appropriate foreign exchange rate
The Group had been using the relevant central bank rate, being the relevant official rate in each jurisdiction for foreign currency translation. On April 24, 2017, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) introduced a special foreign exchange window for investors and exporters, known as the NAFEX market.
By introducing the NAFEX window, the CBN created a situation where there are multiple differing official rates in the market. This resulted in a need for the Group to reach a judgement regarding the appropriate exchange rates for translating foreign denominated transactions and balances for Nigerian subsidiaries and for the translation of Nigerian results on consolidation. The Group considered the requirements of IAS 21 'The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates' and performed an assessment of the availability of the NAFEX rate in that market. The Group concluded that access to US Dollar in Nigeria in the future to meet payments or dividends is expected to be obtained via the NAFEX market, which has since May 2021 been adopted by the CBN.

​
From January 1, 2018, the NAFEX rate has been used for the translation of USD transactions and denominated balances in the Nigerian subsidiaries and also for consolidation purposes.
3.3
Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal options
The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised and any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain that the termination options will not be exercised.
The Group has the option under some of its leases to lease the assets for additional periods of up to
10 years
. The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it has a unilateral option to renew the lease for a further period or is otherwise provided that
option under the laws governing the lease agreement and is reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal
or for the landlord to accept a renewal, including the nature of the underlying asset, the availability of a similar asset in a similar location, and the expected business impact or relocating its towers.
After the commencement
date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its intention or ability to exercise (or not to exercise) the option to renew.
(b)
Key accounting estimates
3.4
Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses its non-financial assets including property, plant and equipment, goodwill, and other intangible assets for possible impairment if there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that carrying values of the assets may not be recoverable, or at least at the end of every reporting period.  Such indicators include changes in the Group's business plans, changes in diesel prices, evidence of physical damage and technological changes and impacts of obsolescence.  If there are rapid changes in technology of the existing communications infrastructure, the Group may need to recognize significant impairment charges.
The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 2.13.
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. Refer to note 15 for Goodwill and intangible assets impairment considerations.
The assessment for impairment entails comparing the carrying value of the cash generating unit, or group of cash generating units, with its recoverable amount, that is, the higher of the value in use and the fair value less costs of disposal. Value in use is determined on the basis of discounted estimated future net cash flows. Fair value less costs of disposal is determined on the basis of the income approach, discounting estimated future net cash flows that reflects current market expectations. Determination as to whether and how much an asset is impaired involves management estimates on highly uncertain matters such as future revenue (taking into account tenancy rates for tower businesses and homes passed and homes connected for the fiber business), and the direct effect these have on gross profit margins in the initial five-year forecast period, discount rates, terminal growth rates and cost related to the disposal of a business.
In determining value in use the Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The assumptions adopted in the computation of the value in use are considered reasonable to the circumstance of each CGU. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Such estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Refer to the sensitivity analysis in note 15.

3.5
Regulatory accruals
The Group requires a variety of regulatory approvals and permits related to its license to operate and meets its compliance requirements in respect of individual tower sites. These charges are levied by various national and state authorities. There is uncertainty over the level of charges where rates (e.g. percentage of revenue) remain under negotiation with the relevant authorities and also over the period for which charges will apply where demands have not yet been received from authorities on a site by site basis. State authorities may also make claims on an ad-hoc basis for additional charges relating to new compliance requirements or charges significantly in excess of levels previously charged for an existing requirement. These ad-hoc claims may be made on a prospective or retrospective basis.
The Group recognizes an accrual for unbilled regulatory costs based on management estimates of the rates per permit/approval type, periods for which permits/approvals potentially relate and the probability of charges being raised resulting in a cash outflow. The most significant accrual relates to the Group's operations in Nigeria, where the amount accrued is $
29.4
million (2021: $
31.9
million, 2020: $
28.3
million). The accrual is based both on permits where rates are known amounts and those where amounts are based on management estimates including:
●
the assumed percentage of maximum "claimed" liability related to "ad hoc" state level claims;
●
the assumption that the risk related to potentially unpaid "regular" claims reduces over time and is accrued at
100
%
but reduced to
0
%
for balance over a certain number of years; and
●
assumptions regarding the risk of liabilities arising in respect of one-off site development related charges in respect of sites acquired by the group.
A
10
percentage point change in management's estimate of the amount of the potential liability that, subject to these estimates, will eventually be demanded and paid to the relevant authorities would alter the accrual at December 31, 2022 by approximately $
2.9
million (2021: $
3.2
million, 2020: $
2.9
million). Management has only considered items in the sensitivity analysis that are subject to management's rates estimate in the total amount accrued.
​
3.6
Revenue recognition
(a)
Variable consideration
​
Initial recognition of revenue is estimated based on an assessment of the recoverability of revenue taking into account our contractual rights to consideration, our exposure to our customer's credit risk and our practice of managing credit risk exposure through the occasional negotiation of price concessions with customers. Only amounts expected to be recovered at the point of initial recognition are recognized in revenue, and the remainder is considered variable consideration (see note 2.5(a)). Recognition of amounts not expected to be recovered is contingent upon the receipt of funds from the customer. The assessment of the amounts expected to be recovered is closely aligned with the assumed credit risk of the customer, determined as part of the assessment of expected credit losses made in accordance with the Group's IFRS 9 expected credit loss policy as described in note 2.16.4.
​
A
10
-percentage point change in management's estimate of the amount of variable consideration that will eventually be received would alter revenue recognized by approximately $
17.4
million (2021: $
16.8
million, 2020: $
14.2
million).
(b)
Delayed invoicing
Revenue also includes estimates for services provided where billing is not completed, including in respect of (1) tower sites coming into service, or changes in customer implemented technologies since the most recent invoicing cycle and (2) services subject to ongoing negotiation regarding price or other contract interpretation disputes with customers. For each of these scenarios, revenue is accrued based on management' expectation of the final billable amounts based primarily on historical experience.

Introduction and overview of Group's risk management
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including market risk (foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework. The Group's Executive Committee is responsible for developing and monitoring the Group's risk management policies.
The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to establish appropriate risk appetite and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to our risk appetite. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly by the executive management to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The Board, through the Audit Committee, oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group's risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The Board is supported by various management functions that check and undertake both regular and ad hoc reviews of compliance with established controls and procedures.
(a)
Derivative instruments
Derivatives are only used for economic hedging purposes and not as speculative investments. Derivatives do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting and are therefore classified as financial instruments through fair value through profit or loss.
●
Non-deliverable forwards
(
NDFs
) — The calculation of an NDF fair value is based on the difference between the contracted exchange rate and the anticipated spot exchange rate at the relevant period. The rate applied to represent the anticipated spot exchange rate requires judgement given the limited market liquidity in Nigeria. The Group has determined that the spot NAFEX exchange rate obtained from FMDQ OTC securities exchange is the most appropriate rate. The gain or loss at the settlement date is calculated by taking the difference between the agreed upon contract exchange rate (NGN/USD) and the spot rate at the time of settlement, for an agreed upon notional amount of funds.
●
Embedded options within listed bonds
— The bonds issued by IHS Netherlands Holdco B.V. in September 2019 and the bonds issued by IHS Holding Limited in November 2021 have embedded options which allow early redemption at the option of the issuer and holder upon the occurrence of specified events. These are accounted for as derivatives at fair value through profit or loss.
●
Embedded derivatives within revenue contracts
—
T
he embedded derivatives within revenue contracts represent the fair value of the US$ linked components of the Group's revenue contracts with customers, where such US$ linked components are translated to local currency at the time of billing using a fixed, pre-determined exchange rate or an exchange rate which is not referenced to a liquid market exchange rate.
These are accounted for as derivatives at fair value through profit or loss.
(b)
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
The Group manages market risks by keeping costs low through various cost optimization programs. Moreover, market developments are monitored and discussed regularly, and mitigating actions are taken where necessary.

​
(i)
Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures other than the US Dollar. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.
The Group is exposed to risks resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. A material change in the value of any such foreign currency could result in a material adverse effect on the Group's cash flow and future profits. The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk to the extent that balances and transactions are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency in which they are measured.
In managing foreign exchange risk, the Group aims to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations on earnings. The Group has
no
export sales, but it has customers that are either contracted using fees quoted in US Dollars or other foreign currencies, but with foreign exchange indexation. The Group's significant exposure to currency risk relates to its loan facilities that are mainly in foreign currencies. The Group manages foreign exchange risk through the use of derivative financial instruments such as currency swaps and forward contracts. The Group monitors the movement in the currency rates on an ongoing basis.
Currency exposure arising from assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is managed primarily by setting limits on the percentage of net assets that may be invested in such deposits.
Sensitivity analysis
The table below shows the impact on the Group's loss if the exchange rate between the following currencies to US Dollars had increased or decreased, with all other variables held constant. The rate of change was determined by an assessment of a reasonable or probable change in the exchange rate being applied as at December 31. The impact is based on external and intercompany loans.

(ii)
Interest rate risk
The Group's main interest rate risk arises from long term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk.
The Group's fixed rate borrowings and receivables are carried at amortized cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in IFRS 7, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates. The Group manages interest rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments such as interest rate caps or by issuing fixed rate debt.

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables and committed

​
transactions. Credit risk is managed on a Group basis. The Group accounts for the write-off of a trade receivable when a specific customer is assessed to be uncollectible, based on a review of their specific trading circumstances, credit quality and continuing poor payment performance of the specific customer.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period was:

The finance department assesses the credit quality of a customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. The compliance with credit limits by customers is regularly monitored by line management.
The Group utilizes data analysis and market knowledge to determine the concentration of its risks by reference to independent and internal ratings of customers. The assessment of the concentration risk is consistent with the overall risk appetite as established by the Group.
The Group's credit concentration is based on internal ratings. The finance department classifies customers as first tier and second tier customers based on sales revenue from each customer during the period. First tier customers are the

five
customers that contributed
80
% and above of total revenue and represent the major mobile network operators in our

Over the term of trade receivables, the Group accounts for its credit risk by appropriately providing for expected credit losses on a timely basis on a customer by customer basis. In calculating the expected credit loss for each customer, the Group considers historical loss rates, available information on the customer's financial position and adjusts for forward looking macroeconomic data.
Impairment allowances, derived in accordance with the policy described in note 2.16.4, predominantly relate to provisions representing a significant proportion of the aged balances due from a small number of customers with poor payment history.
The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables during the year was as follows:

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as
F-31
Table of Contents
​
​
IHS HOLDING LIMITED
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
​
far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.
The Group has a clear focus on ensuring sufficient access to capital to finance growth and to refinance maturing debt obligations. As part of the liquidity management process, the Group has various credit arrangements with some banks which can be utilized to meet its liquidity requirements. At the end of the reporting period, the Group had $
3.1
billion (2021: $
2.7
billion, 2020: $
2.3
billion) utilized of $
3.7
billion (2021: $
3.5
billion, 2020: $
2.6
billion) credit facilities with its financiers.
Typically, the credit terms with customers are more favorable compared to payment terms from its vendors in order to help provide sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses, including the servicing of financial obligations. This excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.
The table below analyzes the Group's financial liabilities including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period from the end of the reporting period to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

Capital risk management
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Group monitors capital on the basis of the leverage ratio to optimize market pricing, such that Net Debt (loan principal outstanding less cash and cash equivalents) to Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) would be within a long term target leverage of
3.0
x and
4.0
x (2021:
3.0
x and
4.0
x, 2020:
3.0
x and
4.0
x), subject to various factors such as the availability and cost of capital and the potential long term return on our discretionary investments. We may fall outside of the target range in the shorter term to accommodate acquisitions or other restructurings.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA as defined by the Group is profit/(loss) for the period before income tax expense/(benefit), finance costs and income, depreciation and amortization, impairment of withholding tax receivables, business combination transaction costs, impairment of property, plant and equipment and related prepaid land rent on the decommissioning of sites, reversal of provision for decommissioning costs, net (profit)/loss on sale of assets, share-based payment (credit)/expense, insurance claims, provisions for bad or doubtful debts related to one Key Customer as a result of its

The table below analyzes financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:
●
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).
●
Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
●
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).
The following table presents the Group's financial instruments that are measured at fair value at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
​
Financial instruments in level 1
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1 comprise investment in marketable securities and classified as fair value through other comprehensive income financial assets.
Financial instruments in level 2
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. Instruments included in level 2 comprise primarily of Non deliverable forwards (NDF), foreign exchange swaps and options embedded in the bonds. Their fair values are determined based on mark to market values provided by the counterparty financial institutions or valuation techniques using observable market data.
Financial instruments in level 3
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques are not based on observable market data and rely on entity or market specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are not observable, the instrument is included in level 3. There were no level 3 financial instruments at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Segment reporting
The Group's Executive Committee, identified as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), reviews and evaluates the Group's performance from a business perspective according to how the geographical locations are managed. Regional and operating company management are responsible for managing performance, underlying risks, and effectiveness of operations. Regions are broadly based on a scale and geographic basis because the Group's risks and rates of return are affected predominantly by the fact that the Group operates in different geographical areas, namely Nigeria as the major market, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Rwanda, South Africa and Zambia, as our Sub Saharan Africa business ("SSA"), Kuwait and Egypt as our Middle East and North Africa business ("MENA") and Brazil, Colombia and Peru as our Latin America business ("Latam").
The Executive Committee reviews the Company's internal reporting to assess performance and allocate resources. Management has determined the operating segments based on these reports.
The CODM has identified
four
operating segments:
●
Nigeria
●
SSA, which comprises operations in Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Rwanda, South Africa and Zambia
●
Latam, which comprises operations in Brazil, Colombia and Peru
●
MENA, which comprises operations in Kuwait and Egypt. Although full operations in Egypt have not commenced, the business has incurred some startup costs.
All operating segments are engaged in the business of leasing tower space for communication equipment and capacity leasing and services on fixed broadband networks to Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and other customers (internet service providers, security functions or private corporations) and provide managed services in limited situations, such as maintenance, operations and leasing services, for certain towers owned by third parties within their respective geographic areas. However, they are managed and grouped within the
four
operating segments, which are primarily distinguished by reference to the scale of operations, to the similarity of their future prospects and long-term financial performance (i.e. margins and geographic basis).
The CODM primarily uses a measure of Segment Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in note 4(e)) to assess the performance of the business. The CODM also regularly receives information about the Group's revenue, assets and liabilities. The Group has additional corporate costs which do not meet the quantitative thresholds to be separately reported and which are aggregated in 'Other' in the reconciliation of financial information presented below. These include costs associated with centralized Group functions including Group executive, legal, finance, tax and treasury services.
There are no revenue transactions which occur between operating segments. Intercompany finance income, finance costs and loans are not included in the amounts below.
The segment's assets and liabilities are comprised of all assets and liabilities attributable to the segment, based on the operations of the segment and the physical location of the assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets and are measured in the same way as in the financial statements. Other assets and liabilities that are not attributable to Nigeria, SSA, Latam and MENA segments consist principally of amounts excluded from specific segments including costs incurred for and by Group functions not attributable directly to the operations of the reportable segments, share-based payment and  any amounts due on debt held at Group level as the balances are not utilized in assessing each segment's performance.

Net foreign exchange loss arising from financing - unrealized in 2022 is primarily due to significant fluctuations in exchange rates predominantly between the Kwacha and the US Dollar, the Naira and the US Dollar rate and the Brazilian Real and the US Dollar (2021: predominantly from the Kwacha and US Dollar, the Naira and the US Dollar rate and the Brazilian Real and the US Dollar rate. 2020: predominantly from the Kwacha and US Dollar rate and the Naira and the US Dollar rate). This arises on commercial bank and intercompany loans denominated in US Dollars at subsidiary level as a result of loan revaluations in local functional currency at period ends. Refer to note 4(b) for further information.

**    The charge for the period does not agree to the charge in the consolidated statement of income/(loss) and other comprehensive income/(loss) due to the indirect taxes benefit of $
0.9
million (2021: $
0.4
million, 2020: $
0.8
million) in IHS Brasil Cessão de Infraestruturas S.A. claimed through depreciation over the useful life of the asset.
***   Re-presented to reflect the measurement period adjustments in respect of updates to the accounting for the acquisition of I-Systems Soluções de Infraestrutura S.A. in November 2021 (refer to note 31).
**** Includes subsequent asset acquisitions on business combination transactions.
*****Includes net movements in assets relating to the decommissioning and site restoration provision.
Capital work-in-progress comprises mainly of tower and tower equipment still under construction and not yet available for use. The Group transfers such assets to the appropriate class once they are available for use. There were
no
qualifying borrowing costs capitalized during the year.
The impairment in the year ended December 31, 2022 is primarily driven by the rationalization program agreed with a Key Customer which resulted in the impairment of the related Towers. It was determined that the recoverable amounts were
nil
and therefore their carrying amounts were written down to the recoverable amount. The impairment losses have been recognized in cost of sales in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income/(loss). The impairment in the year ended December 31, 2021 relates to towers on certain sites made dormant following the consolidation of customer equipment between sites, such towers being no longer in use and with no installed customer equipment.
The carrying value of the
"
Towers and tower equipment
"
asset category includes assets amounting to $
50.5
million (2021: $
48.6
million, 2020:  $
21.8
million) related to asset retirement obligations arising from legislative requirements and the terms of lease agreements included in Lease liabilities (note 23).
(i)
Depreciation expense has been included in cost of sales and administrative expenses in the statement of income and other comprehensive income as below:

Analysis of right of use assets

1.8
million, 2020: $
1.3

* Re-presented to reflect the measurement period adjustments in respect of updates to the accounting for the acquisition of I-Systems Soluções de Infraestrutura S.A. in November 2021 (refer to note 31).
​
The recoverable amount of each CGU, except for the IHS Latam tower businesses group of CGUs and the I-Systems CGU, was determined based on value in use calculations. The recoverable amount of the IHS Latam tower businesses group of CGUs and the I-Systems CGU was determined based on fair value less costs of disposal.
(a)
Recoverable amounts based on value in use
These calculations used pre-tax local currency cash flow projections based on the financial budgets approved by management covering a
five-year
period. Within the
five-year
period, revenue growth assumptions are based on past

experience and expected future developments in the Group's CGUs. Cash flows beyond the
five-year
period were valued using the estimated terminal growth rates stated below.
The key assumptions to which the value-in-use calculations are most sensitive are:
●
Revenue growth assumptions (taking into account tenancy rates), and the direct effect these have on gross profit margins in the
five-year
forecast period;
●
pre-tax weighted average cost of capital;
●
gross margins; and
●
terminal growth rates.

Recoverable amount based on fair values less costs of disposal
December 31, 2022
The recoverable amounts of the IHS Latam tower businesses group of CGUs and the I-Systems CGU were based on fair value less costs of disposal.
Fair value less costs of disposal is determined on the basis of the income approach, discounting estimated future net local currency cash flows that reflects current market expectations.

The key assumptions to which the fair value less costs of disposal calculation for the Latam tower businesses are most sensitive are:
●
revenue growth assumptions (taking into account tenancy growth) and the direct effect these have on gross profit margins in the
ten-year
forecast period for the IHS Latam tower businesses group of CGUs;
●
revenue growth assumptions (including homes connected) and the direct effect these have on gross profit margins in the
ten-year
forecast period for the I-Systems CGU;
●
discount rates (being post-tax weighted average cost of capital);
●
estimated costs of disposal based on management's experience of previously completed business combinations; and
●

*Tenancy growth disclosed is for the average annual growth rate for tenancies over the forecast period 2023 – 2032.
An impairment loss of $
121.6
million was recognized in the IHS Latam Tower business group of CGUs due to  macroeconomic conditions which have deteriorated over the last year, increasing the discount rate, and a reduction in the cash flows in the outer years of the forecast used for impairment testing.
Management has determined the reasonably possible changes in key assumptions as follows:
-
1
%
increase in the post-tax discount rate
-
1
%
decrease in the terminal growth rate
-
15
%
decrease in tenancy growth
-

Fair value less costs of disposal is determined on the basis of information observed or derived from recent comparable transactions, including in respect of the IHS Latam tower businesses, tower cash flow multiples.
The key assumptions to which the fair value less costs of disposal calculation for the Latam tower businesses group of CGUs is most sensitive are:
●
monthly tower cash flow for the Latam tower businesses group of CGUs determined on the basis of contractual revenues and gross margin percentage for existing towers at December 31, 2021;
●
tower cash flow multiples determined from analysis of information available relating to recent comparable transactions; and
●
estimated costs of disposal based on management's experience of previously completed business combinations.
The fair value measurement was categorized as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs in the valuation technique used.
Valuation technique

Sensitivity of the input to fair value

​
As can be seen from the analysis above, the valuation derived from the fair value calculation exceeds the carrying amount by a very small margin. Should market participant sentiment alter in future such that the market is viewed as less attractive, it is likely that the comparable transaction multiple would fall and that would result in an impairment.
​
I-Systems was purchased on November 16, 2021. The post-acquisition performance of the business (including key non-financial metrics such as homes passed and homes connected) is in line with management's forecasts such that the purchase price paid for the business is considered to remain the best estimate of fair value at December 31, 2021.

This provision relates to the probable obligation that the Group may incur to dismantle and remove assets from tower sites. The amount recognized initially is the present value of the estimated amount that will be required to decommission and restore the leased sites to their original states, discounted using rates applicable to each of the individual operations within the Group. The amount provided for each site has been discounted based on the respective lease terms attached to each site.
The provisions have been created based on management's decommissioning experience of the specific situations. Assumptions have been made based on the current economic environment, current construction requirements, technology, price levels and expected plans for remediation. Management believes that these assumptions are a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability. These estimates are reviewed regularly to take into account any material changes to the assumptions. These remeasurements result in adjustments to the value of the related assets within property plant and equipment. Actual decommissioning or restoration costs will however, ultimately depend upon future market prices for the necessary decommissioning works required that will reflect market conditions at the relevant time. Furthermore, the timing of decommissioning is likely to depend on when the lease term is terminated without renewal. This, in turn, will depend upon technological changes in the local and international telecommunication industries which are inherently uncertain.
The discount rates applied have been in line with the weighted average borrowing rate for the respective operating entities in the periods the assets were constructed/acquired. Below is the discount rate applied by each operating entity:

All acquisitions completed in 2020, 2021 and 2022 met the definition of a business as defined, and were accounted for as business combinations with the exception of the additional stages of the IHS Kuwait acquisition completed in 2021 and 2022 which are accounted for as asset acquisitions.

I-Systems Soluções de Infraestrutura S.A.
IHS Netherlands BR B.V. ("IHS BR BV"), a subsidiary of IHS Holding Limited, completed a deal with TIM S.A to acquire a controlling interest in I-Systems Soluções de Infraestrutura S.A. (formerly known as Fiberco Soluções de Infraestrutura S.A.)  on November 16, 2021. This includes TIM secondary fiber network and assets as well as the provision of fiber optic infrastructure services as an Open Fiber Network Service Provider. I-Systems Soluções de Infraestrutura S.A. will operate under the name of I-Systems. The acquisition is consistent with the Group's strategy to expand in selected geographic areas.
​
IHS owns a

49
%. The initial asset base of I-Systems includes TIM's secondary network infrastructure, covering
3.5
million Fiber-to-the-Home and
3.4
million Fiber-to-the-Cabinet households, resulting in a total of
6.4
million households covered (allowing for
570
thousand homes of overlapping coverage). I-Systems is responsible for the deployment of new secondary fiber infrastructure for TIM, and the operation and maintenance of all such fiber infrastructure. TIM continues as the anchor tenant across the network under a long-term master services agreement. Certain services will be provided to I-Systems by TIM under a Transition Services Arrangement.
The goodwill of $
81.8
million arising from the I-Systems acquisition is largely attributable to customer relationships and the entry into a new service offering for IHS.

IHS Kuwait Limited
In the 2020 financial year IHS GCC KW Holding Limited ('IHS GCC KW'), a subsidiary of IHS Holding Limited completed the first two stages of the acquisition of
1,620
towers from Mobile Telecommunications Company K.S.C.P. ('Zain Kuwait') comprising

towers. During April 2021, October 2021 and September 2022 IHS GCC KW completed the third, fourth and fifth stages of the acquisition of
1,620
towers from Zain Kuwait comprising
67
,
126
and
43
towers respectively.
The remaining

IHS GCC KW transferred the purchase right to IHS Kuwait Limited for the Construction, Erection and Maintenance of Wired and Wireless Communication and Radar Towers and Stations / With Limited Liability ('IHS Kuwait') who operates the towers as a standalone business. As part of the agreement, IHS Kuwait also assumed existing supplier contracts and land leases, allowing it to apply the Group business processes and deliver services immediately after the assignment of the towers.
As part of the agreement, Zain Kuwait subscribed for shares in IHS GCC KW representing
30
per cent of the share capital of IHS GCC KW by issuing a loan note to IHS GCC KW. The acquisition is consistent with the Group's strategy to expand in selected geographic areas.
The following table summarizes the consideration paid and the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired at the acquisition date of the
