FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 30th, 2006

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

New York and Stockholm - May 30th, 2006 - Millicom International Cellular S.A. ("Millicom") (Nasdaq Stock Market: MICC, Stockholmsbörsen: MIC), one of the world's leading cellular operators in emerging markets, today held its Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) and an Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) of shareholders in Luxembourg.

The AGM resolved to re-elect Vigo Carlund, Donna Cordner, Ernest Cravatte, Lars-Johan Jarnheimer, Daniel Johannesson, Tope Lawani, Michel Massart and Cristina Stenbeck as members of the Board of Directors. Raymond Kirsch did not stand for re-election and therefore ceases to be a member of the Board. PricewaterhouseCoopers Sàrl was re-elected as external Auditor.

All other resolutions proposed to Millicom’s AGM of shareholders today in Luxembourg were passed.

The EGM resolved to approve the proposed grant of restricted shares to the Directors in relation to 2005, additional stock options to a new member of senior management that had not been included into the grant of stock options approved at the 2005 AGM, and restricted shares to senior management and employees in relation to 2005.The EGM also acknowledged that the foregoing grants will all be made within the current authorized share capital of Millicom.

The quorum of 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Millicom being present or represented was not met and thus the EGM was unable to deliberate on the resolution required by Article 100 of the Luxembourg companies’ law of 1915, as amended.

Following the AGM/EGM, the Board unanimously resolved to re-elect Mr. Johannesson as Chairman of the Board of Directors for a term of office ending on the day of the AGM to take place in 2007.

The Board also resolved to elect Michel Massart, Ernest Cravatte and Tope Lawani as members of the Audit Committee and to elect Mr. Massart as its Chairman and designated financial expert, in each case for a term of office ending on the day of the AGM to take place in 2007.

The Board resolved to elect Daniel Johannesson, Cristina Stenbeck, Vigo Carlund and Donna Cordner as members of the Compensation Committee and to elect Donna Cordner as





Chairwoman. Each member is elected for a term of office ending on the day of the AGM to take place in 2007.

The Board resolved to elect Daniel Johannesson, Donna Cordner and Ernest Cravatte to be the members of the Nominations Committee until the date of the next AGM in 2007.

Finally, the Board resolved to convene a second EGM in relation to item 11 of the agenda because the legally required quorum of 50% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Millicom being present or represented was not met at today’s EGM. The Board reconvened the second EGM to Friday June 30, 2006, at 10.00 a.m. at Millicom’s headquarters in Bertrange, Luxembourg. The statutory notices will be published in due course in the Luxembourg Official Gazette (Mémorial) and in the Luxemburger Wort newspaper.
