TeliaSonera closes transaction and acquires debitel Danmark A/S

TeliaSonera AB has today closed the acquisition of 100 percent of the shares in
debitel Danmark A/S. The transaction was approved by the Danish Competition
Authority on March 29, 2007. The transaction also includes debitel's 50 percent
share in DLG-debitel I/S, operating under the brand DLG Tele.

“The transaction strengthens our position as number two in the Danish mobile
market. Together with the acquisition of the 29 Telekæden stores in January, it
will make us well prepared for future growth,” comments Kenneth Karlberg,
President Business Area Mobility Services at TeliaSonera. 

The acquisition was announced on February 1, 2007, and following approval from
the Danish Competition Authority on March 29, 2007, the parties closed the
transaction on April 11, 2007. The total cash payment for 100 percent of debitel
Danmark could be up to approximately SEK 1,325 million (EUR 143 million). At
closing TeliaSonera paid a cash consideration of EUR 63 million. In addition
debitel's debt of EUR 35 million to the seller was settled. The remaining
payments are capped at EUR 45 million plus interest and are dependent on the
development of debitel during the following six months after closing.

As of December 31, 2006, debitel and DLG Tele had approximately 300,000 mobile
subscriptions. debitel will continue to operate as a service provider under a
separate brand on the Danish market. There will be no major changes in the
operation of the company.
