KMANJARO HOLDINGS PLC
Kmanjaro Holdings plc has over 20 years experience in building approximately 9 billion
dollars international companies in capital-intensive businesses, particularly in the mobile
telecommunications and media sectors, and in the ship building industry.
Kmanjaro Holdings strengths have been in the early identification of greenfield
opportunities, building relationships with host Governments, successfully negotiating on
license bids, and forging partnerships with globally experienced business partners with
whom we have then built profitable companies in extremely competitive markets and
created jobs for thousands of people.
Vietnam
In 1995 Kmanjaro Holdings formed a partnership with Millicom International Cellular SA
(MIC), the Luxembourg based international mobile telecom operator, to form a joint
venture, Comvik International AB, a Swedish registered limited company in which
Kmanjaro Holdings holds 20% of the equity.
Kmanjaro Holdings was instrumental in the successful bid by Comvik International AB to
become the foreign partner in Vietnam’s first GSM mobile phone network.
In 1995, Comvik International Vietnam AB (CIV), a wholly owned subsidiary of Comvik
International AB, was awarded a 10-yearcontract (with extension rights) to build, operate
and jointly manage a national GSM mobile telecommunication network in Vietnam,
“Mobifone”, together with the newly formed Vietnamese operator, Vietnam Mobile Services
Company (VMS). The President and CEO of Kmanjaro Holdings plc was appointed as the
first President of Comvik International Vietnam AB, and is still today Chairman of the
company.
Under the successful management of CIV, the Mobifone network quickly established itself
as the largest, highest quality and most profitable network in Vietnam. More than 15 years
later, the MobiFone network is still one of the largest and most profitable networks in
Vietnam.

Cambodia and Laos
Shareholders of Kmanjaro Holdings plc established another company, Sultanat Holdings
plc, with the purpose to develop additional business opportunities in Cambodia and Laos.
Based on the success of their joint operations in Vietnam, Millicom International Cellular SA
agreed to establish a joint venture with Sultanat Holdings plc, Millicom Cambodia BV, a
Dutch registered company in which Sultanat Holdings held 5%, to develop new businesses
in Cambodia.
In 1997, with significant assistance from Sultanat Holdings management, Millicom
Cambodia BV was awarded a 35-year license to operate a nationwide mobile telephony
network by the Government of Cambodia. The GSM network, Mobitel, became nation’s
most dominant telecommunication network and has maintained 80% market share
throughout most of its operational existence. The company was so successful that it was
subsequently awarded a national terrestrial TV broadcasting license, under a new joint
venture (Cambodia Television Network), which now operates the two most popular
channels in Cambodia (CTN and MyTV). In addition, the Government granted an
international telecommunications gateway license to the company (Tele2), for routing
international incoming and outgoing calls to Cambodia.
In 2003, Sultanat Holdings plc added to its portfolio through a further joint venture with
Millicom International Cellular SA, Millicom Laos BV, in which Sultantat Holdings indirectly
held 5% of the company, for the development of new business in Laos.
Through the determined efforts of Sultanat Holdings plc, Millicom Laos BV was awarded a
license by the Government of Laos for a 25-year national mobile telecommunications
network in Laos – the Tigo Laos network. This network shattered the long established
mobile sector duopoly in Laos, and was instrumental in helping significantly drive down
mobile usage costs in Laos. Tigo Laos became the network of choice for the youth market
in Laos, where it continues to dominate in consumer preference.
Over the last few years, both Millicom Cambodia BV and Millicom Laos BV have divested
their interests in Cambodia and Laos at a significant profit.
CURRENT ACTIVITIES OF K’MANJARO HOLDINGS and SULTANAT HOLDINGS

perceived need in this market.

The Royal Falcon Fleet group of companies is involved in the design, construction and sale
of super-luxury mega-yacht. The company has an exclusive agreement with Porsche
Design for the design of all vessels on the water. The first model in this series is the
RFF135 by Porsche Design, a 135-foot power catamaran capable of accommodating 10
VIP passengers in ultimate style and luxury. The first RFF135 mega-yacht is currently
under fit-out at shipyard facilities in Sweden, while the hull construction of the second
vessel is already in progress. Later models will include a 211 feet mono hull mega-yacht by
Porsche Design.
Utilizing the groups expertise and track record in identifying new opportunities in capital
intensive sectors, and then building strong relationships with global international partners to
exploit these opportunities, Kmanjaro Holdings has helped Royal Falcon Fleet to establish
partnerships with a number of companies with world renowned reputations, such as
Porsche Design for the yachts’ exterior and interior design; Greenline Yacht Interiors for
yacht interiors of the very highest quality; Imtech Marine for integrated ships systems; Incat
Crowther for naval engineering; and MTU for marine engine propulsion systems.
The company also produces a 28 feet 5-seat high performance yacht, the Royal Falcon
Fire 28 by Porsche Design (“RFF28”), capable of speeds of 70+ knots. Other yachts in this
series will include RFF45 by Porsche Design.
Media and Broadcasting
Kmanjaro Holdings produces the high quality coffee table periodical, “Dazzling Oceans”,
which promotes ocean philanthropy, preservation of marine life and ecosystems, as well as
well-being articles on health, beauty, wealth management and lifestyle. Dazzling Oceans is
available to select customers by invitation only. We plan to launch Dazzling Oceans global
TV in the near future.
From our history in mobile communications, TV broadcasting and program content,
Kmanjaro Holdings is currently also researching mobile television opportunities over 3G
and 4G telecom networks in a number of markets.
We believe there are great
opportunities for entertainment, marketing, advertising and brand promotion using this new
media.
