Explanatory Note
This
Amendment No. 8 (“Amendment No. 8”) to Schedule 13D relates to the Common Shares, par value $1.50 per share
(the “Common Shares”), of Millicom International Cellular S.A., a Luxembourg company (the “Issuer”),
and amends and supplements the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed on February 24, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1
to the Schedule 13D filed on March 28, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on April 26, 2023,
as amended by Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed on May 12, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule
13D filed on May 25, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D filed on June 2, 2023 (“Amendment
No. 5”), as amended by Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D filed on July 24, 2023 (“Amendment No. 6”),
as amended by Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule 13D filed on August 24, 2023 (“Amendment No. 7”, and as so amended,
the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 8 shall have the same meanings
ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the
following:
Since the filing of Amendment
No. 7, Atlas acquired an additional 1,845,067 SDRs for an aggregate purchase price of SEK 320,668,681.37 (excluding commissions). These
purchases were financed through drawings under the Loan Agreement (as such term is defined under Amendment No. 6).
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On September 1, 2023, Maxime
Lombardini, a corporate officer of an affiliate of the Reporting Persons, was appointed by the Board of Directors of the Issuer as President
and Chief Operating Officer of the Issuer.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Items 5(a)-(c) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated
as follows:
(a) and (b) The
percentage of beneficial ownership in this Schedule 13D is based on 171,769,190 Common Shares outstanding (based on 172,096,305 Common
Shares outstanding as of the date hereof, less 327,115 Common Shares held in treasury, as set forth on the Issuer's website on the date
hereof).
The aggregate number and percentage
of Common Shares beneficially owned by each Reporting Person and, for each Reporting Person, the number of shares as to which there is
sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition,
or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition are set forth on rows 7 through 11 and row 13 of the cover pages of this
Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.
As of September 29, 2023, Atlas beneficially owned
46,608,240 SDRs, which may be exchanged for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis.
Neither the filing of this
Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person (other than Atlas to the extent
it directly holds the securities reported herein) is the beneficial owner of the Common Shares referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose and each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial
ownership of such shares.
(c) Except as described in this Schedule
13D or Annex B attached hereto, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions in Common Shares since the filing of Amendment
No. 7 on August 24, 2023 through September 29, 2023.
