The Board's resolution proposal
 
Item 6
The Board of Directors believes it to be advantageous for the company to acquire all shares in FORA Telecom B.V., a company owned by Millicom International Cellular S.A. and operating in Russia through approximately 23 subsidiaries, and to pay the purchase sum of US$ 80 million fully or in part through the company's own shares.
 
In the light of this the Board proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolve to increase the company's share capital through a non-cash issue of B-shares whereby shares in FORA Telecom B.V. are brought to the company as capital contributed in kind. The shareholders of FORA Telecom B.V. shall subscribe for all new issued shares. The issue price per share shall be decided with regard to the share price of B-shares in Tele2. If the full payment is paid with the company's shares, the dilution will be approximately 1.7 percent, based on the closing share price of the Tele2 B-share on November 9 2001.
 
Should FORA Telecom B.V. acquire additional GSM-licenses within six months, an additional payment not exceeding US$30 million will be paid.
The Board of Directors' complete proposal, as well as documents relating to chapters 4, 4 § and 6 § of the Swedish Companies Act, will be prepared and made available to shareholders at the company's offices at Skeppsbron 18 in Stockholm, Sweden or sent to shareholders on request and on provision of their mailing address, no later than one week prior the Extraordinary General Meeting.
 
Stockholm, November 2001
