TeliaSonera AB issues five year Eurobond of EUR 550 million 

TeliaSonera today issued a Eurobond of EUR 550 million under its existing EUR 7
billion EMTN (Euro Medium Term Note) programme. The Re-offer yield was set at
5.239% p.a. equivalent to Euro Mid-swaps + 250 bp for a five year deal maturing
in March 2014.  "We are pleased with this deal and we now have a very well-balanced debt
maturity profile. The order-book was of high quality and significantly
oversubscribed allowing favorable funding terms despite a turbulent financial
market,” says Per-Arne Blomquist, Executive Vice President and CFO. 

The Joint Bookrunners mandated by TeliaSonera for this transaction were BNP
Paribas, Calyon, Deutsche Bank and Nordea.
