1 PRESS RELEASE New York and Stockholm – 25 January, 2010 MILLICOM INTERNATIONAL CELLULAR S.A. CREATION OF NEW TOWERS COMPANY IN GHANA New York and Stockholm, 25 January 2010 – Millicom International Cellular S.A. (“Millicom”) (Nasdaq Stock Market: MICC and Stockholmsbörsen: MIC) today announces that its subsidiary, Millicom Ghana Company Limited (“Tigo Ghana”), has agreed to sell approximately 750 towers to Helios Towers Ghana (“HTG”), a direct subsidiary of Helios Towers Africa (“HTA”). As a result of the transaction, Tigo Ghana will retain a minority interest in HTG. Additionally, Tigo Ghana and HTG have entered into a long term leasing agreement where HTG will provide Tigo Ghana with wireless communications towers, including a build-to-suit agreement to support the company's wireless networks. HTG will seek similar agreements with other operators in Ghana. The transaction is expected to create savings in both capital and operating expenditure for Tigo Ghana. Mikael Grahne, President and CEO of Millicom, said: “This agreement marks our first substantial commitment to outsourcing passive infrastructure, and is entirely consistent with our strategy of improving both our capital and operating efficiency by focusing on our core activities. Operators around the world are increasingly recognising that owning and operating all of their own network infrastructure does not confer a competitive advantage. The new venture will allow Tigo Ghana to focus on areas of genuine differentiation: sales, marketing, distribution, service innovation and customer care.” Tope Lawani, Managing Partner of Helios Investment Partners, HTA's lead investor, said: “HTG enables Ghanaian wireless operators to outsource non-core tower-related activities and focus their capital and managerial resources on providing higher quality services more cost-effectively. We are very excited about our agreement with Tigo Ghana as it will provide HTG with scale and coverage of virtually all of Ghana’s significant population centers. This transaction represents the first significant sale-leaseback transaction of telecommunications towers in Africa. We are pleased to enter into such an innovative arrangement with Millicom, a company with a long tradition of operational excellence, creativity and entrepreneurialism. This transaction will ensure that HTG has, as an anchor tenant on each of its towers, a high quality operator with a demonstrated long-term commitment to the development of wireless services in Ghana." The specific number of towers and final purchase price will be determined at closing. First closing of the transaction, subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to take place in approximately 90 days.
