  10. Ice is well prepared for the 5G era Key considerations  Ice already has a large installed base of the newest and 5G ready Nokia base station type. Ongoing core modernization (cloud) will take the nodes to 5G  An upcoming 5G pilot is expected in summer 2020 with 3.6GHz test- frequencies in one or two smaller cities. Initial 5G offering on 700MHz in urban areas expected end of 2020  Limited investments needed to turn on initial 5G offering over the next years 5G frequency portfolio  Ice has a healthy 5G frequency portfolio, and has already won the 700MHz band, one of the 5G pioneer bands. Ice was first in Norway to turn on the 700MHz band in November this year (4G)  Ice expects that current spectrum holdings will be re-deployed on 5G as more handsets will support 5G on more frequencies over time  Norwegian auctions relevant for 5G will be arranged over the next years, most notably the 3400-3800MHz 5G pioneer band, available from 1.1.2023 “Ice has turned on the 700 MHz band” - Inside Telecom 28 November 2019 10

  11. New regulation of Norwegian telecom market  The Norwegian telecom market will continue to be highly regulated, as one of the least competitive markets in Europe Continued and increased support for the 3 rd network   Telenor is one of a very few telecom operators in Europe with this kind of regulation, main points in the new regulation are:  Continued obligation to offer wholesale access, potentially with lower data prices for Ice than the current regulation  Continued obligation to allow site sharing, with stricter regulation on cost sharing and application deadlines  New regulation will likely be sent ESA for verification during Q1, with effect from Q1/Q2 2020  Ice has a «National Roaming Agreement» (NRA) with Telia until April 2021 11
