Nasdaq Stockholm Approves the Delisting of Millicom's Swedish Depository Receipts and Set the Last Day of Trading on March 17, 2025 Millicom International Cellular S.A. (‘Millicom’ or the ‘Company’) formally applied for delisting of its Swedish Depository Receipts (‘SDRs’) from Nasdaq Stockholm. The delisting application was approved and Nasdaq Stockholm set the last day of trading (the ‘Delisting Effective Date’) on March 17, 2025. Millicom reminds holders of SDRs that the delisting will result in the SDR program being terminated. To remain as shareholders of Millicom, SDR holders must convert their SDRs into common shares traded in Nasdaq Stock Market in the U.S. (‘Millicom U.S. Shares’) by giving an instruction to SEB at the latest by March 19, 2025 (3.00 pm CET) (‘Final Conversion Deadline’). Following the termination of the SDR program, SEB is only able to transfer the underlying Millicom U.S. Shares to the former SDR holder if the SDR holder’s bank/broker has given SEB a complete conversion instruction before the Final Conversion Deadline. In the absence of a proper transfer/conversion instruction, SEB will sell the underlying Millicom U.S. Shares (the ‘Remaining SDRs’) and distribute the sale proceeds (in SEK) on a pro rata basis to the SDR-holders (with the deduction of reasonable costs, fees and taxes) pursuant to the SDR terms and conditions. The sale proceeds will be distributed only after all the Remaining SDRs are sold by SEB. Given restrictions in relation to the maximum amount of shares SEB is allowed to sell per day, and depending on the final amount of Remaining SDRs, it is not possible to currently say exactly how long such sales will take to complete. SEB intends to commence the sales of the Remaining SDRs as soon as practicable after the Final Conversion Deadline. Annuncio • Feb 21
Millicom International Cellular Intends to File Delisting Application with Nasdaq Stockholm on March 3, 2025 to Terminate SDR Program As previously communicated on November 29, 2024, Millicom International Cellular S.A. (‘Millicom’) on February 20, 2025 reiterated that it intends to file a delisting application with Nasdaq Stockholm on March 3, 2025, which will result in the SDR program being terminated. The last day of trading for SDRs is estimated to be on or around March 17, 2025. The exact date will be decided by Nasdaq Stockholm upon approval of the delisting application. The Company anticipates that consolidating the listing of its shares onto one single exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market in the United States (‘Nasdaq U.S.’), will provide improved levels of liquidity to its shareholders, appropriate access to capital for Millicom, attract new investors focused on Latin America, potential inclusion on certain equity indices, a simplified corporate governance structure and a reduction in administrative costs. SDR holders who wish to remain as shareholders of Millicom must contact their financial institution in order to convert their SDRs into Millicom U.S. Shares prior to the SDR delisting. After the SDR delisting and as stipulated in the SDR program terms and conditions, the custodian bank (SEB) will sell the Millicom U.S. shares underlying any remaining SDRs, and proceeds (net of transaction costs, fees and taxes) will be distributed to SDR holders who failed to provide timely conversion instructions prior to the SDR delisting. Net cash proceeds will be distributed only after all shares have been sold. Annuncio • Jan 15
