TDCs
subsidiary HTCC announces strategy update
Copenhagen Today,
TDC announces that its 64.6% controlled subsidiary Hungarian Telephone and Cable
Corp. (HTCC), which is listed on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX: HTC), has
determined that, at this time, in light of the current period of uncertainty in
financial and economic conditions, HTCC will continue to pursue its strategy as
a publicly-traded company while continuing to consider initiatives to enhance
shareholder value. TDC expects that it will continue to evaluate regularly its
investment in HTCC and, depending on the results of such future review, it may
decide to alter its strategy in respect of its investment in HTCC, and
accordingly may increase or reduce its interest in HTCC.
