Repurchase offer completed, nearly 99 percent acceptance ratio

The repurchase offer is not directed to shareholders located in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan or to persons whose participation in the repurchase offer requires additional information or registration measures or other measures in addition to those required under Swedish and Finnish law.

TeliaSonera's offer to repurchase shares is now completed. The acceptance ratio for selling back shares was high. 98.8 percent of the over 187 million shares included in the offer were repurchased by TeliaSonera. This means that TeliaSonera has during 2005 distributed some SEK 10 billion to shareholders in addition to the ordinary dividend. "The acceptance ratio of about 99 percent is higher than the average for this type of repurchase programs in Sweden. This has enabled us to fulfill our promise to distribute SEK 10 billion to our shareholders," says TeliaSonera's President and CEO Anders Igel. "However, we are less pleased, with the fact that some 200,000 smaller shareholders did not participate in the offer and sold neither their shares nor their sales rights. We will have to take this into consideration when making decisions regarding future distribution of capital to our shareholders." Acceptance in the repurchase offer The Board of Directors of TeliaSonera decided on April 26, 2005 to repurchase a maximum of 187,009,282 shares, representing 4.0 percent of the total outstanding shares, by offering the shareholders of TeliaSonera to sell every twenty-fifth share to TeliaSonera for a cash payment of SEK 55 (approximately EUR 5.98[1]) per share. The acceptance period to accept the repurchase offer ended June 14, 2005. During the acceptance period 184,774,856 shares have been tendered in the repurchase offer, corresponding to an acceptance ratio in the repurchase offer of 98.8 percent. In total, SEK 10,163 million (EUR 1,1051 million) will be transferred to the shareholders of TeliaSonera in exchange for the repurchased shares. Payment for the repurchased shares is expected to take place on or around July 4, 2005 for shareholders directly registered at VPC and on or around July 5, 2005 for shareholders directly registered in the Finnish book-entry system. Commission-free sales procedure The average price for sales rights submitted in the commission-free sales procedure amounted to SEK 0.6782 (EUR 0.0737[2]). Payment for sales rights submitted in the commission-free sales procedure is expected to take place on or around July 4, 2005 for shareholders directly registered at VPC and on or around July 5, 2005 for shareholders directly registered in the Finnish book-entry system. Other After the repurchase offer TeliaSonera holds 184,774,856 own shares representing about 4.0 percent of the total number of shares in TeliaSonera. The Board of Director’s intention is to propose the Annual General Meeting to be held in 2006 to cancel the shares acquired in the repurchase offer.
