Tele2 signs credit facility agreement of SEK 12 billion


Stockholm - Tele2 AB, ("Tele2"), (OMX Nordic Exchange: TEL2 A and
TEL2 B), today announced that the company has entered into a 3-year
revolving credit facility agreement of SEK 12 billion with a
syndicate of nine banks. The deal was successfully oversubscribed and
has been closed.

Tele2 has previously drawn SEK 3 billion on its existing revolving
credit facility which matures in November 2009. The new facility
further strengthens Tele2's financial position in order to maintain a
balance between growth and flexibility. Tele2 will use this facility
to develop its business organically as well as to refinance its
existing revolving credit facilities in order to keep an optimal
capital structure within the financial disciplines already announced.

The mandated lead arrangers with this transaction were Calyon; DnB
NOR Bank ASA; Svenska Handelsbanken AB (publ); Nordea Bank AB (publ);
Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) and The Royal Bank of
Scotland plc.

Joint lead arrangers with this transaction were ING Bank N.V., Dublin
branch; Swedbank AB (publ) and WestLB AG, London branch.
