Description of the nature of the activities of the joint arrangement or associate

JP Hrvatske telekomunikacije d.d. (HT Mostar d.d.), a joint venture between Hrvatski Telekom d.d. and the state of Bosnia-Herzegovina, provides mobile and fixed-network telecommunications services in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

GlasfaserPlus Holding GmbH & Co. KG with its subsidiary GlasfaserPlus GmbH (GlasfaserPlus entities), a joint venture between Deutsche Telekom and the IFM Global Infrastructure Fund, is engaged in the planning, construction, and operation of fiber-optic network infrastructure to the building or user (FTTH), and offering bitstream access products to wholesale customers to serve end customers on the mass market.

For further information on the transaction with GlasfaserPlus, please refer to the section “Changes in the composition of the Group and other transactions” under “Summary of accounting policies.”

T‑Mobile USA Tower LLC and T‑Mobile West Tower LLC are structured entities founded by T‑Mobile US in each of which it holds a 100 % stake for the purpose of contributing cell sites in accordance with a framework agreement signed in 2012 between T‑Mobile US and Crown Castle International Corp., Houston, United States, concerning the leasing and use of the cell sites. The sole right to continue to use and lease out these sites was transferred to Crown Castle. T‑Mobile US continues to operate its mobile equipment on these cell towers and, to this end, leases back the required capacity from Crown Castle. Previously unused infrastructure is thus available for Crown Castle to lease to third parties. In return, the owners of the land on which the cell towers are built will no longer receive lease payments from T‑Mobile US for those cell towers that were contributed to the two associates and those companies that were disposed of. Both entities were deconsolidated as of the date of the closing of the transaction in 2012, because Crown Castle independently operates the cell towers, generates revenues from leasing out the sites for an average of 27 years, and determines the finance and business activities of both entities that are relevant for consolidation purposes. It is expected that the leasing of tower space will allow Crown Castle to generate sufficient ongoing profits and cash flows to be able to meet its contractual obligations. Thus Deutsche Telekom has only a significant influence and includes these companies in the consolidated financial statements as associates. Under certain conditions, T‑Mobile US will continue to be held liable for any default in the lease payment by Crown Castle to the owners of the underlying land of the cell sites. The agreement includes an extremely low maximum guarantee amount for Deutsche Telekom, since in the unlikely event that this case occurs, T‑Mobile US could take over the further use of the relevant cell sites or alternatively terminate the contracts with the owners of the cell site land at short notice. At closing, T‑Mobile US established an immaterial cash reserve in the entities sufficient to fund the payment of ongoing administrative expenses not payable by Crown Castle. Aside from the guarantee and the payment of administrative expenses, there is no other funding obligation by T‑Mobile US.

Digital Infrastructure Vehicle II SCSp SICAV-RAIF (DIV II) is an investment company with a portfolio of shareholdings in companies engaged in the development and operation of digital infrastructure projects, such as mobile infrastructure, fiber-optic networks, data centers, and related fields, with a focus on Europe.

For further information on the associate DIV II and on the admission of new limited partners to the infrastructure fund, please refer to the section “Changes in the composition of the Group and other transactions” under “Summary of accounting policies.”

The following tables provide summarized financial information on the main companies included in the consolidated financial statements and accounted for using the equity method. The data is not based on the stakes attributable to Deutsche Telekom AG, but represents the shareholdings on an assumed 100 % basis.
