(i)Millicom owns more than 50% of the shares in these entities and has the right to nominate a majority of the directors of each of these entities. However, key decisions over the relevant activities must be taken by a super majority vote. This effectively gives either shareholder the ability to veto any decision and therefore neither shareholder has sole control over the entity.

(i) In 2020, Financial expenses include a $18 million charge related to early redemption of bonds - see below. Guatemala financing In 2014, Intertrust SPV (Cayman) Limited, acting as trustee of the Comcel Trust, a trust established and consolidated by Comcel for the purposes of the transaction, issued $800 million 6.875% Senior Notes to refinance existing local and MIC S.A. corporate debt. The bond was issued at 98.233% of the principal and had an effective interest rate of 7.168%. The bond was guaranteed by Comcel and listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. On November 18, 2020, the $800 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due 2024 was early redeemed at a redemption price equal to 102.292%of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest of $16 million, resulting in an aggregate amount of $834 million. The redemption premium ($18 million) and additional interest ($7 million), as well as the remaining unamortized deferred costs of $8 million were recorded as financial expenses during the year. This early redemption was financed through local financing in local currency as well as by shareholder loans (see note G.5.). The impact on the Group's statement of income is a $18 million expense (at 55% ownership) reported on the line "Share of profit in the joint ventures in Guatemala and Honduras". On October 5, 2020, Comcel executed a credit agreement with Banco Industrial for GTQ 1,697 million (approximately $218 million using the exchange rate as of December 31, 2020) for a 5 year term to refinance other credit agreements with Banco Industrial and to finance and refinance working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes.
