New York, Stockholm and Luxembourg – January 5^th 2006 - The Board of Directors of Millicom International S.A. has decided to request the de-listing of Millicom's equity shares from the Luxembourg Stock Exchange ("Bourse de Luxembourg") due to the fact that the trading of the Millicom shares on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange was insufficiently liquid.

The Luxembourg Stock Exchange has delivered its approval of the de-listing of the Millicom shares, which will become effective on January 16, 2006. A notice to this effect will be posted starting on January 5 on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu/notices).
