Vodafone Foundation deploys communication assistance in Nepal BY GOZO NEWS · MAY 6, 2015
Last week the Vodafone Foundation offered immediate assistance to the victims of the Nepal earthquake by flying in the ‘Instant Network Mini,’ a portable ‘mobile network in a backpack,’ to the Kathmandu Valley in order to help restore communications in some of the worse affected areas. The Instant Network Mini is a mobile network in a backpack which weighs only 11Kg and which can be set up in just 10 minutes. The Instant Network team, all Vodafone employees acting on a voluntary basis, are offering support to local operators to help re-establish mobile communications, helping aid workers communicate during the relief effort and enabling people to contact their loved ones following the devastating earthquake. The Instant Network Mini is one of the key projects developed by the Vodafone Group as part of its global Mobile for Good programme, which uses innovative mobile technology to solve social problems across different communities. This is the second time in two months that the Vodafone Foundation has responded with emergency telecommunications support in the aftermath of a natural disaster. In March, a team of volunteers deployed to Tanna Island, Vanuatu, where they supported humanitarian calling operations to those affected by Cyclone Pam.

Go planning two business centres
Go is planning to turn its former HQ Spencer House in Marsa and its premises in Birkirkara into business centres to be leased as premium office space to third parties. CEO Yiannos Michaelides said that the telecoms operator had finally made key decisions on what to do with its €50 million property portfolio – which first necessitated a thorough review of its operational requirements. It is now at an advanced stage of the Mepa permit application process for Birkirkara and Marsa, and has also decided to move its exchanges in both Sliema and St Paul’s Bay to new, considerably smaller premises next year, freeing up the existing exchanges for other options. The properties had been transferred to a special purpose vehicle called Malta Properties, which is being kept as a separate and independent business entity. “Once all the permits are in hand, we will be able to start calculating the rents or income that these properties can generate,” he said. Its Żejtun site had originally been on the list for possible alternative use but Go has decided to retain it as a core part of Go operations, turning it into a technical hub.
CLIENT: GO Direct / Vodafone Indirect MEDIUM: timesofmalta.com DATE: 7 May 2015 AVE: € 230.00 If you make a prudent, small and manageable investment, then it can prove to be worthwhile Mr Michaelides said that the company’s diversification strategy was working, noting that the average Ebitda margin for a number of operators in the last quarter of 2014 was 28.8 per cent while Go’s was 40 per cent. Diversification has not always been a success: its multimillion euro investment in Forthnet had to be completely written off, although shareholders might see some of that money come back as both Vodafone Greece and Wind are interested in buying it. “There was a story in Greek newspapers last week that Vodafone is still interested in buying it. The two bidders have already made non-binding bids. They then completed a due diligence process and it is now up to them whether to make a binding bid. It is only at that stage that the board would decide whether to sell and whether the bid is a fair value.“We are waiting – there is no deadline. All that is happening in Greece at the moment is overshadowing this...” he admitted. He is confident that Go’s investment in Cypriot Cablenet, which has 47,000 subscribers, is completely different. “Irrespective of what happened in the past, if you make a prudent, small and manageable investment, then it can prove to be worthwhile. Cablenet was an investment that the Go balance sheet could take comfortably. The company has a double digit growth story and its performance is meeting expectations. The Cypriot economy was at the bottom when we made the investment but it has been improving steadily and 18 months later we can say with confidence that our choice was correct. “Eventually it could surpass Go. We have the option to take a majority shareholding and consolidate the numbers. We will make the decision at the right time. It could generate important revenue for Go.” Go recently reported a profit before tax for 2014 of €20.3 million, up 30 per cent over 2013. .

Former CEO demands explanation on daily €100,000 fine against Go subsidiary Shareholder and former Maltacom chief executive grills Go plc directors over risky exposure to gaming client after French court threatens €100,000 daily fine against Go subsidiary
Matthew Vella 6 May 2015, 7:02am
A former chief executive officer of Maltacom plc, the forerunner to telecoms company Go plc, yesterday demanded to know why a subsidiary of the company was retaining a gaming client at the risk of incurring a €100,000 daily fine from a French court. Stephen Muscat raised the question during an otherwise uneventful annual general meeting held on Tuesday 5 May, at the Hilton in St Julian’s, when the shareholder asked for an explanation on a contingent liability. Muscat said shareholders needed more information on why Go was retaining a gaming client when a French court had threatened its subsidiary with a daily fine of €100,000 for hosting its severs. “Is this client providing the equivalent in daily income to Go plc, to continue to be given a service?” Muscat
CLIENT: MEDIUM: DATE: AVE:
GO Direct maltatoday.com.mt 6 May 2015 € 145.00
asked, calling on the directors to explain what measures were being taken by the board to mitigate such risks. In its annual report, Go said the court judgement required that the subsidiary “implements measures to prevent a specific client from providing certain services” and pay €100,000 per day unless and until the company complies with it. Go has said that on the basis of its legal advice, it has not been yet been correctly served with the judgement and that the judgement can only be enforced in Malta only in the event that it is declared so by the courts in Malta. Go said its legal advice was that there were “serious doubts on the enforceability of the overseas court judgement in Malta and accordingly no provision has been recognised as the directors are of the opinion that an outflow is not probable.” In 2014, a similar case was instituted against the same subsidiary but no judgement has yet been delivered by the court. In replying to Muscat, company secretary and head of legal services Francis Galea Salamone elaborated further that the French decision was against a Malta-licensed gaming company that uses a Go subsidiary to host its servers. He confirmed a second court case, on the same merits, and that the situation is being closely monitored by the company. Galea Salamone said the board had relied on the legal advice given. There was a brief moment of hesitation at the question, with directors and senior officials at the top table slow in taking the lead to answer the question before Galea Salamone stepped in. Apart from a handful of questions on Go’s shareholder loyalty scheme and its property portfolio, little came out of the question on the potential €100,000 daily cost to company revenues from the plc’s directors. The meeting also approved a dividend of €0.07 per share, after the company announced pre-tax profits of €20.3 million, up 30% over 2013. “We are transforming our core telecommunications business [and] we are pursuing a number of initiatives which allow us to focus on areas with growth potential,” Go chairman Deepak Padmanabhan said on the company’s strategy for growth. Go’s immediate parent company, at 60% ownership, is Emirates International Telecommunications (Malta), which is ultimately controlled by Dubai Holding LLC, owned by Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Makhtoum.

Forgendo and Giradena hold investments in Forthnet (Hellenic Company for Telecommunications and Telematic Applications S.A), a Greek company listed on the Athens Stock Exchange. Go plc also owns a â‚Ź50 million property portfolio of 11 immovable properties, owned by subsidiary Malta Properties Company Limited.
