Emirates NBD Investor Presentation
Network International
Strategic Partnership with Abraaj Capital
■
Transaction Summary & Strategic Rational
On 22 December 2010, Network International (NI) entered into a strategic
partnership with Abraaj Capital (Abraaj) to accelerate expansion of the
company
Abraaj acquired a 49% stake in NI for a price of around AED 2 billion which
included a sum contingent upon attainment of profitability targets and a portion
financed by Emirates NBD
All relevant regulatory approvals were obtained during Q1 2011 and the
transaction closed on 31 March 2011
■ NI is at a strategic junction where significant growth opportunities are
available both organically and inorganically and has developed a focused
strategy to expand into other high-growth geographies in the Middle East and
Africa and the Indian Subcontinent
In this context, the strategic partnership with Abraaj will bring significant
expertise and value to the business
-
Accelerate the growth trajectory of NI through leveraging Abraaj's
industry expertise and access to their portfolio companies
Extend NI's geographic presence (e.g. Pakistan, India, Turkey and
Levant)
Financial Impact on Emirates NBD

of the Group and was accounted for as a jointly controlled entity

resulting in an unrealised profit of AED 856 million
