TELE2'S CEO REITERATES THE COMPANY'S GUIDANCE FOR 2006 AT TODAY'S AGM

Stockholm - Tele2 AB (publ) today at its 2006 Annual General Meeting provides clarification on its previously stated guidance for 2006.
In its published Q4 2005 results Tele2 stated that it would grow revenues in excess of those of 2005, meaning that revenues for 2006 would grow at least 16%.
 
Tele2 sees great opportunities to capture market share in the fast growing broadband and mobile markets. Consequently, there has been a shift in marketing emphasis towards broadband and mobile in 2006. At the time of the Q4 2005 results, Tele2 indicated that its earnings (EBITDA) in 2006 would be impacted by this shift. To assist the investment community, Tele2 gave the level of underlying EBITDA in Q4 2005 as a guide on which to estimate 2006 EBITDA - assuming that similar levels of marketing and capex to those in Q4 2005 were maintained. The absolute level of EBITDA for 2006 is of-course dependent on the mix of customer intake between fixed telephony, broadband and mobile.
 
Tele2 now further clarifies its guidance for 2006:
In order to maximize Tele2's efforts in the fast growing markets of broadband and mobile, capex for 2006, as previously indicated, will be in the range of SEK 5.5 to 6.0 billion. The level of EBITDA we expect to reach in 2006, assuming a revenue growth rate at at least last year's level, will be in the range of SEK 5.5 to 6.0 billion. The marketing spend will be seasonally higher in Q2 and Q4 2006. Tele2 reiterates that it expects significantly higher EBITDA in 2007, assuming a return to a normal growth rate.
