COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING POLICY). IF THE ADMISSION IS SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE STATED:

CityFibre is a company incorporated in England and Wales that is the holding company of the group that owns and operates over 600 route kms of local access fibre networks serving over 1,000 customer locations in 61 towns and cities in the UK.

CityFibre has conditionally agreed to purchase certain passive dark fibre optic network assets (the "Assets") from KCOM Group plc for a cash consideration of £90 million (the "Acquisition") together with VAT of £18 million. The VAT will be funded from the Company's existing resources and reclaimed in due course from HMRC.

The Assets comprise approximately 2,200 route kilometres of ducted infrastructure together with fibre optic cable, access chambers and other assets. These assets fall into two categories:

· Metropolitan Area Networks ("MANs") of varying lengths in 24 towns and cities across the UK. The combined total route length of the 24 MANs is approximately 1,100 kms serving areas of high business density;

· a national "figure of eight" Long Distance Network ("LDN") that interconnects 22 of the 24 MANs, and further provides diverse connectivity to major data centre locations in London. This LDN has an approximate route length of 1,100 kilometres.

The Acquisition constitutes a reverse takeover under AIM Rule 14 and accordingly, CityFibre will be seeking readmission ("Admission") of its shares to trading on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange.
