Company‘s equity by EUR 8 million. Two shareholders; The Icelandic State and
Landsvirkjun, have committed to buy the new equity, to be paid in early

Operating environment and finances

The new capital structure of the Company is aimed at supporting the
sustainability and growth of the Company in years to come. The agreements the
Company has with its customers in the public telecommunications sector and the
current and future agreements with the data center industry are the two main
sources of revenue for the Company. Although the annual increase in
international bandwidth demand from the public telecommunication sector is very
high, the Company‘s future prospects are very much depending on the data center
industry in Iceland, which is growing.
