Vietnam Infrastructure Limited ('the Company' or 'VNI')
Completed divestment from Southeast Asia Telecommunications
Holdings
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam - Vietnam Infrastructure Limited, the
AIM-quoted investment vehicle established to target infrastructure
and related investments within Vietnam's emerging market, is
pleased to announce that VNI has received its first payment of
USD47.5 million in cash pursuant to the sale and purchase agreement
to transfer 100% of VNI's holding in Southeast Asia
Telecommunications Holdings Pte. Ltd. (SEATH) to OCK Vietnam Towers
Pte. Ltd (OCK). VNI expects to receive its second and final payment
of USD2.5 million by 20 January 2017 which, upon receipt, will
successfully complete VNI's divestment in SEATH to OCK.
SEATH holds 100% of VNC-55 Infrastructure JSC, Mobile
Information Service JSC and Global Infrastructure Investment JSC,
which owns and leases 1,972 mobile phone base stations (BTS) and
over 150 IBS to mobile network operators in Vietnam. OCK Vietnam
Towers will acquire the entire BTS business while VNI continues to
own the IBS portfolio which it will divest at a later stage. The
divestment is in line with the exit strategy for VNI's private
equity portfolio, pursuant to the proposal to restructure VNI which
was approved at its EGM held on 15 December 2014. The proceeds of
the transaction will be used to make capital distributions to
shareholders.
