A6. Illustrative Year-1 monthly build & connection profile

The first year determines the plan’s credibility with funders. The
profile below shows the intended homes-passed ramp and early connections
across the first twelve months post-close — the granular evidence base a
project-finance lender uses to gate the second-round facility.

Month M1 M2 M3 M4 M5 M6
Homes passed (cum.) 2 000 5 000 9 000 14 000 20 000 27 000
Added in month 2 000 3 000 4 000 5 000 6 000 7 000
Connections (cum.) 200 800 1 500 2 300 3 200 4 200
Month M7 M8 M9 M10 M11 M12
Homes passed (cum.) 35 000 43 500 52 500 61 500 71 000 80 500
Added in month 8 000 8 500 9 000 9 000 9 500 9 500
Connections (cum.) 5 300 6 450 7 650 8 850 10 100 11 350

The ramp is deliberately gradual: early months are dominated by
wayleave approvals, contractor mobilisation and network commissioning,
with homes-passed velocity accelerating only once civils are in full
flow. Connections lag homes-passed by design, reflecting the sales cycle
through ISP partners. By month 12 the plan targets ~81,000 homes passed
and ~18,000 connected — consistent with the FY2027 headline.

Prepared July 2026. All projections are forward-looking and
subject to the risks described herein. Sponsor headline figures
(revenue, EBITDA, homes passed, subscribers, asset value, raise) are as
provided; all derived figures are the adviser’s independent computations
from the stated assumptions. The stated R11.5bn raise does not fully
fund the R19.8bn build; a second-round requirement of ≈R7.0bn is
disclosed throughout. This document does not constitute an offer of
