The Norwegian Competition Authority has given its preliminary view of the agreement between Tele2 Norway and TeliaSonera.

Stockholm - Tele2 AB (Tele2), (NASDAQ OMX Stockholm Exchange: TEL2 A and TEL2
B). Today, the Norwegian Competition Authority gave its preliminary view through
a statement of objection to TeliaSonera/NetCom’s acquisition of Tele2 Norway.
The statement will now be given to the parties that need to provide their
comments by the 22th of December. Based on the comments, the Competition
Authority will make a new evaluation before giving a final decision.
Mats Granryd, President and CEO of Tele2 AB, comments: “We are concerned
regarding the statement from the Norwegian competition authority to reject the
transaction between Tele2 Norway and TeliaSonera, despite significant remedies
offered to the third network operator in the country. This will potentially
jeopardize the creation of a dynamic mobile market in Norway with two strong
competitors to the incumbent.”

As a next step, Tele2 will together with TeliaSonera evaluate the statement from
the Competition Authority and respond with appropriate actions.
