Weighted average interest rate of 5.6% versus 4.9% in March 21, due to a change in the mix of HoldCo to OpCo debt. Debt repayment at Hold Co • Over the last twelve months the business has repaid nearly $1.4bn of debt at HoldCo through upstreaming cash across our OpCos and from proceeds from minority investments in mobile money and tower sales. Debt at HoldCo Debt at OpCos (Including lease liabilities) Notes: Leverage is calculated as gross debt (including lease liabilities) less cash and cash equivalents (including deposits with banks) divided by the last 12 months underlying EBITDA. 15
