* Subject to approval an the Annual Shareholders Meeting of 17 April 2013

With the current limited visibility on the Belgian market due to competitive

pressure and the unfavourable economy, the Board of Directors agreed to

address shareholder return at a later stage, and consider returning a EUR 0.50

interim dividend per share in December 2013 if Belgacom’s financial performance

for the year 2013 at that time proves to be in line with its full-year outlook.

(14)

Outlook

for 2013

-

Current operating environment with lower visibility due to a more volatile competitive

landscape and an unfavourable economy.

-

The guidance takes into account an estimated negative impact from regulatory measures

of about € -93m on revenue and about € -53m on EBITDA.

-

Accelerated network investments to maintain network superiority

- Dynamic Line Management & Vectoring

To substantially increase bandwidth, Dynamic Line Management (DLM) & Vectoring will be deployed

DLM is an in-house developed technology and will improve the average speed experience with 30%

Fast-track

Dynamic Line Management

DLM monitors stability of lines and dynamically applies maximum possible speed when a line is sufficiently stable

• A speed profile is applied to a VDSL2 line in function of the line distance

• Line characteristics however often allow higher speeds

1

2

Powerful

vectoring technology

Vectoring brings up-to-70 Mbps speeds and 15 Mbps upstream

• Crosstalk is interference between copper pairs in same cable

• Crosstalk limits the achievable speed on VDSL

1

2

Vectoring cancels crosstalk in the copper cables resulting in a significant bit rate increase of copper lines

How we are ahead

of other EU operators

Strong Regulatory Framework was negotiated, disentangling all blocking points required for full-fledged vectoring

• Belgacom is the first operator in the world to deploy vectoring on this scale

DLM will be applied on top of our Vectored lines to further increase speeds up-to-100 Mbps

1

How we will

further increase speed soon after

• Only operator with an in-house developed technology to bring speed at maximum line capabilities

2

Belgacom is in better position to increase speed then other EU peers thanks to our access strategy over past

years with a strong Fiber-The-The-Curb network topology and a dense 85% VDSL2 coverage
