(Nasdaq Stock Market: MICC and Stockholmsbörsen: MIC), the global telecommunications company, hereby announces that Mr Tope Lawani has tendered his resignation from the Board of Directors of Millicom International Cellular.

Mr Lawani is a Managing Partner of Helios Investment Partners, which makes private equity investments in various sectors, including telecommunications, across sub-Saharan Africa.

 Mr Lawani commented: “I have come to the conclusion that, going forward, the constraints imposed by my directorship at Millicom will make it difficult to continue to fulfill adequately my duties as a Director of Millicom, while also satisfying my obligations to Helios”.

 Mr Daniel Johannesson, Chairman of the Board of Directors commented: “The Board of Millicom regrets that Mr Lawani found it necessary to take this step. He has been a highly competent member of our Board, always providing wise and valuable input to our work.”

This press release may contain certain “forward-looking statements” with respect to Millicom’s expectations and plans, strategy, management’s objectives, future performance, costs, revenues, earnings and other trend information.  It is important to note that Millicom’s actual results in the future could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements depending on various important factors.  Please refer to the documents that Millicom has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including Millicom’s most recent annual report on Form 20-F, for a discussion of certain of these factors.

All forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to Millicom on the date hereof.  All written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to Millicom International Cellular S.A., any Millicom International Cellular S.A. employees and representatives acting on Millicom’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the factors referred to above.
