MAGYAR TELECOM B.V. ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT ON TERMS OF FINANCIAL
RESTRUCTURING WITH NOTEHOLDER GROUP
Restructuring Agreement
LONDON – 15 July 2013 – Magyar Telecom B.V. (“Matel”, the "Group” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to implement a restructuring
of its balance sheet (the "Proposed Restructuring") with an informal group (the “Noteholder
Group”) of holders of its 9.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 (the “Existing Notes”). The
Noteholder Group, which represents approximately 40% of the net total outstanding €328,956,000 of
Existing Notes, has unanimously signed a restructuring agreement (the “Restructuring Agreement”).
The Noteholder Group includes the five largest identified holders. Under the terms of the
Restructuring Agreement the Noteholder Group has agreed, amongst other things, to support the
Proposed Restructuring and to not take any enforcement action in respect of the Company's failure to
pay interest due on 15 June 2013 for a period to enable the Proposed Restructuring to be
implemented. The Proposed Restructuring, subject to requisite approvals and participation, will result
in a significant reduction in the Company's debt and its related interest expense. The directors of the
Company believe that the Proposed Restructuring will provide the Group with a strengthened capital
structure and additional free cash flow to invest in targeted growth initiatives.
Under the terms of the Proposed Restructuring, €155 million of Existing Notes will be
retained or exchanged into new notes (the “Reinstated Notes”). The Reinstated Notes will bear cash
interest at 7% (subject to a PIK toggle) and PIK interest of 2%, which shall accrue from 15 June 2013
and be paid semi-annually in arrears on 15 December and 15 June. The PIK toggle will allow the
Company to capitalise a portion of the cash interest at a rate of 9% to the extent necessary to maintain
a minimum liquidity level of €10 million. The remaining €174 million of Existing Notes, together
with all accrued interest on the Existing Notes up to the closing date of the Proposed Restructuring,
will be converted into 49 per cent. of the pro-forma post-restructuring equity in the Group.
Noteholders’ equity interests will be stapled to the Reinstated Notes. €21 million of Existing Notes
held by the Company in treasury will be written-off in full on the closing of the transaction.
The equity sponsor, Mid Europa Partners (the “Sponsor”) will invest €25 million on closing
of the restructuring consisting of €15 million as equity and €10 million as debt (the "Sponsor Notes"),
which will rank pari passu with the Reinstated Notes. The €15 million new equity investment will be
used to buyback the Reinstated Notes (and corresponding equity entitlement) via a reverse Dutch
auction. The Sponsor will retain 51 per cent. of the pro-forma post-restructuring equity in the Group
(subject to pro-rata potential dilution, along with pro-forma post-restructuring equity held by the
holders of the Reinstated Notes, as a result of any new management incentive plan).
On closing, the Sponsor will have the rights to appoint a majority of the board of directors of
the Company (the “Board”). The Noteholders (in their capacity as shareholders) will also be able to
appoint directors to the Board ("Noteholder Directors"), whose approval will be required in relation
to certain strategic matters. If certain actions are not implemented in the medium term, then the
Noteholders (in their capacity as shareholders) will have the right to appoint a majority of the
directors to the Board. The Sponsor will not receive any payment for management or other services,
but will receive payments on the Sponsor Notes (pari passu with the Reinstated Notes) and be eligible
to receive between 3% and 5% of net sale proceeds (depending on amount of proceeds received).
2
A consent fee of 0.25 per cent. of holdings of Existing Notes will be payable on closing of the
transaction to Noteholders that are party to or accede to the Restructuring Agreement by 15 August
2013. Holders of the Existing Notes who have not yet signed the Restructuring Agreement, but are
interested in doing so, are invited to contact the legal advisers to an ad hoc committee of Noteholders,
Bingham McCutchen (London) LLP, whose details are provided at the end of this statement. The
Company has engaged an Information Agent, Lucid Issuer Services Limited, who will be responsible
for compiling the accession letters to the Restructuring Agreement. The details of Lucid Issuer
Services Limited are also provided at the end of this statement.
It is expected that the Proposed Restructuring will be completed by 15 October 2013 and
additional details around the implementation will be provided to the Noteholders in due course.

Financial Projections
In agreeing the Restructuring Agreement with the Noteholder Group, financial projections
were provided by the Company to the Noteholder Group for the remainder of fiscal year 2013 (ending
31 December 2013) and for the following five fiscal years (ending 31 December 2018).
For comparative purposes, the projections below have been presented consistent with the
accounting policies used by the Company before 1 January 2013. From 1 January 2013 the Company
changed its accounting policy mostly with respect to certain groups of capital expenditures, whereby
certain items previously reported as capital expenditures are treated as operating expenses or cost of
sales. 2013 figures have also been presented below on a restated basis consistent with the new
accounting policy change.
The Company continues to operate in a weak macroeconomic environment with competitive
pressures strong across its residential, corporate and wholesale segments. Government policy changes,
most notably the introduction of per minute telecoms tax in mid-2012 and the utility tax from January
2013, have had a further significant adverse impact on cash flow generation. The management team
continues to focus on its bundling strategies, namely its TV led strategy in the Residential segment,
expected to yield further growth in multiplay bundles and Hosting and IT Services expansion in the
Corporate segment. The Company will also continue its cost cutting efforts, with annual opex and
capex savings of HUF 4.0bn and HUF 500m, respectively, targeted by 2018.
The Company’s cash balance as of 31 May 2013 was HUF 6,945m.

In addition to the assumptions utilised for the business plan, the Company is continually
evaluating potential investment projects that represent an attractive use of capital and has identified
several initiatives across all segments to offset the structural decline in its legacy copper business and
drive growth across the platform. The Company’s investment case assumes several initiatives
targeting enhanced network capability, expanded product offerings and increased scale. Specific
investments considered include further upgrading the cable network through conversions to DOCSIS
3.0 and digitalisation, continuing the fibre rollout program and further building out the wholesale
network. The initiatives that comprise the investment case are discrete projects that can be pursued
individually or in combination. Like other infrastructure investments made by our peers in the
telecommunications industry, these projects require a significant upfront capex investment with
incremental benefits realised over the long term, much of which is expected beyond the projection
period.
The incremental benefit and cost of pursuing a broad investment case is outlined below:
