Millicom (Tigo) announces new anticipated record
date for rights offering and related stoppage of conversion between common shares and SDRs
Luxembourg,
May 10, 2022 – In connection with the previously announced rights offering,
Millicom International Cellular S.A. (“Millicom” or “Company”) hereby announces that
the new record date is expected to be on May 23, 2022 at 5:00 pm New York time for holders of the Company’s common shares and the
same date (end of day, Swedish time) for holders of our shares held in the form of Swedish Depositary Receipts (“SDRs”).
Further details on the terms of
the rights offering and the procedures pursuant to which eligible holders can exercise their rights, including any changes to the dates
included in this press release, will be announced before the commencement of the rights offering.
In connection with the anticipated
rights offering, we previously announced that conversion of SDRs into common shares, and vice versa, will not be permitted (the “Conversion
Stoppage”) during a period starting on and including May 9, 2022 and to last until and including June 1, 2022. The Conversion Stoppage
started on May 9, 2022 and, taking account of the new anticipated record date, it is expected to last until and including June 13, 2022.
Millicom SDR holders who seek to convert their SDRs to common shares, or vice versa (which can be done in accordance with the procedures
set out on Millicom’s website), should take into consideration the dates noted above.
This press release is not an offer to sell or
a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. The anticipated Rights Offering will be made solely to such persons and in such jurisdictions
as are permitted under applicable law.
