DNA Plc won the spectrum it pursued in the 700 MHz spectrum auction


DNA PLC STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 24 November 2016

The 700 MHz spectrum auction organised by the Finnish Communications Regulatory
Authority concluded on Thursday, 24 November 2016. DNA Plc won the 2x10 MHz
spectrum it pursued in the spectrum auction.

DNA's winning bid for the spectrum totalled EUR 22 million. The licence fee will
be paid in equal instalments during a five year period. The licence period is
17 years (1 February 2017 to 31 December 2033).

DNA reinforces its mobile broadband operations in the 700 MHz spectrum. The new
700 MHz spectrum enables build-up of 4G capacity, particularly in sparsely
populated areas.

The 700 MHz licence requires that an operator's 4G network covers 99 per cent of
the population on mainland Finland within three years of the beginning of the
licence period. DNA's 4G network already covers 99 per cent of the population
primarily in the 1,800 MHz and 800 MHz spectrums.
