                Re:         Project    Rodin Broadband        Groningen                                          2 1 OKT. 2020
                Dear Member of the           College  van  Gedeputeerde Staat,
                We refer to the various discussions held between EEE                                   of the Province of Groningen and
                our representatives,                                    and IEEE about the planned CEBF investment in
                Rodin Holding B.V. and in Rodin Broadband Groningen B.V. (RBG).
                As you know, the Connecting Europe Broadband Fund (CEBF) is an initiative of the European
                Commission (EC), as part of the Juncker plan, aiming to promote the deployment of next generation
                broadband infrastructure in less deserved areas of Europe. CEBF regroups public sector investors, like
                the EC, the European Investment Bank (EIB), the German KfW, the French Caisse des Dépbts &
                Consignations (CDC) and the Italian Cassa di Depositi e Prestiti (CDP), as well as private institutional
                investors. At this stage, CEBF has received a commitment of €470 million from its investors. CEBF is
                an Alternative Investment Fund governed by the AIFM Directive and Cube Infrastructure Managers
                (Cube IM), who is supervised by the Luxembourg financial regulatory authority CSSF, has been
                appointed as the manager of the CEBF.
                In the context of our search for investment opportunities, CEBF has decided to invest up to €30 million
                in the broadband infrastructure in the Province of Groningen. This investment will be realised through
                Rodin Holding BV, which will be the parent company of RBG and of a new company Rodin Fiber BV
                (RF). The       purpose of RF will be to invest in the “non-white”        areas    of the province, while the deployment
                in the white areas will continue to be realised by RBG.
                Although      most of our investment will be dedicated to the RF deployment, we would like to confirm that
                we   intend to continue to support the RBG deployment as is currently contemplated in the agreements
                between Rodin Group and the Province of Groningen. The RBG deployment is indeed a key element
                of our business plan and is fully aligned with the objectives of CEBF. In this context, we would like to
                emphasize that a solid partnership with the Province of Groningen is very important                      to CEBF,    as the
                Province is a key stakeholder in the success of our ambitions in Groningen.
                Please do not hesitate to contact          us  in the event that you    require any further information     on this matter.
                Yours     sincerely,
                                                           —_—
