INTRODUCTION

Orascom Telecom Holding S.A.E. ("Orascom Telecom") or ("OTH") was established in 1998 and has grown to

become a major player in the telecommunication market.

OTH is considered among the largest and most diversified network operators in the Middle East, Africa, and South

Asia, and has acquired in early 2008 a license to operate mobile services in North Korea. Orascom Telecom is a leading

mobile telecommunications company operating in six emerging markets having a population under license of 430

million with an average penetration of mobile telephony across all markets of approximately 40%. OTH operates GSM

networks in Algeria (Djezzy), Pakistan (Mobilink), Egypt (Mobinil), Tunisia (Tunisiana), Bangladesh (Banglalink) and

Zimbabwe (Telecel Zimbabwe). OTH had exceeded 74 million subscribers as of March 2008.

In Pakistan, the Pakistan Mobile communications Ltd (“Mobilink”) started its operations in 1994 and, until early 2001,

had a market share of 40%. In April 2001, OTH took over management control of the company. As the market leader,

Mobilink serves more than 28 million subscribers, representing a market share of 38.5% (as of March 2008).

OTH has positioned itself as a leader in the region for its diverse GSM operations with various GSM support and

Internet operations. One of OTH's main strategies is to create its own non- GSM subsidiaries to act as a backbone of

support for its regional GSM operations. OTH has achieved this by dedicating financial, technical and management

resources for supporting its subsidiaries. This includes network support and installation of GSM operations, equipment

procurement, handset procurement and distribution companies, Value Added Services, and Internet operations. OTH is

dedicated to providing the best quality services to its customers, value to shareholders and a dynamic working

environment for its more than 15,000 employees.

OTH established a strong presence in the GSM Association (the world's leading wireless industry representative body)

only five years after its inception. OTH's Chairman and CEO, Mr. Naguib Sawiris, was selected to join the GSM

Association's CEO Board in 2002. OTH's stocks are traded on the Cairo and Alexandria Stock Exchange (CASE), (under

the symbol ORTE.CA, ORAT EY) and on the London Stock Exchange (where its GDR is traded under the symbol

ORTEq.L, OTLD LI).

OTH is dedicated to provide the best quality services to its customers, value to shareholders, and a dynamic working

environment for its more than 15,000 employees.
