COMMENTS ON RULING BY DISTRICT COURT

Tele2 AB (publ) today announced that the District Court of Stockholm’s ruling regarding interconnect disputes between TeliaSonera and Tele2 will not have any effect on the company’s income or cash flow statement. Tele2 insists that in the two companies’ interconnect disputes, TeliaSonera is a net payer to Tele2.

The District court of Stockholm today ordered Tele2 to pay TeliaSonera SEK 1,000,586,662 plus interest. The ruling addresses TeliaSonera’s claims against Tele2 regarding interconnect charges in TeliaSonera’s networks. Tele2’s counter claims have not been assessed. In the trial TeliaSonera testified that it has significant outstanding liabilities towards Tele2. Tele2 claims that in the two companies’ interconnect disputes, TeliaSonera is a net payer to Tele2. Tele2 is awaiting a ruling confirming this from the Administrative court of appeal. Today’s ruling has no impact on Tele2’s income statement or cash flow.
