3-      DIVIDEND PAYMENT (EGM – item 4 of the agenda)

On a parent company basis, Millicom generated a profit of USD 772,381,085 for
the year ended December 31, 2011. Of this amount, the shareholders decided at
the Annual General Meeting held on May 29, 2012 to distribute as a dividend USD
2.40 per share (in aggregate USD 244,174,121) resulting in carry forward of the
remaining part of the profit of USD 528,206,964.

The Board of Directors proposes that the meeting approves the distribution of a
per share gross cash extraordinary dividend of USD 3.00 to the shareholders in
the manner provided in Article 21 and Article 23 of the Articles.

The financial statements of Millicom as of December 31, 2011 drawn up by
Millicom’s Board of Directors (the “2011 Financial Statements”) show that
Millicom has sufficient funds available, in accordance with applicable law, to
distribute the considered USD 3.00 dividend per share which represents an
aggregate dividend of approximately USD 300,000,000. The Board of Directors
confirms that the considered dividend can be paid out of the carried forward
profits available at the date of the EGM.

In accordance with Luxembourg income tax law, the payment of dividend will be
subject to a 15% withholding tax. Millicom will withhold the 15% withholding tax
and pay this amount to the Luxembourg tax administration. The dividend will be
paid net of withholding tax. However a reduced withholding tax rate may be
foreseen in a double tax treaty concluded between Luxembourg and the country of
residence of the shareholder or an exemption may be available in cases where the
Luxembourg withholding tax exemption regime conditions are fulfilled (e.g. for
shareholdings representing at least 10% of the share capital for an
uninterrupted period of at least 12 months). These shareholders should contact
their advisors regarding the procedure and the deadline for a potential refund
of the withholding tax from the Luxembourg tax administration.

An extract from Millicom’s Form 20-F filing for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2011 regarding U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations can be found on
Millicom’s website (www.millicom.com) under “Investor Relations / EGM 2012”.

Eligible Millicom shareholders will receive their dividends in USD (United
States Dollars) whereas holders of Swedish Depository Receipts (SDRs) will be
paid exclusively in SEK (Swedish crowns). Millicom shall arrange for a
conversion of the dividend from USD to SEK. Such conversion shall be effected at
a market rate of exchange, no earlier than eight (8) and no later than three (3)
banking days before the payment date, or the day when the funds are made
available to Euroclear Sweden AB (Euroclear). The applicable rate of exchange
shall be the rate of exchange obtained through the combination of all foreign
exchange conversions.

The Dividend will be paid to shareholders/SDR holders who are registered in the
shareholders registry kept by Millicom, Euroclear Sweden AB or American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company (AST) as of December 11, 2012 (the "Dividend Record
Date").

The ex-dividend date is estimated to be December 7, 2012.

Payment of dividends is planned for around December 14, 2012. Holders of Swedish
Depository Receipts will be paid by electronic transfer to bank accounts linked
to their securities accounts whereas a dividend check will be sent to all other
eligible shareholders.

QUORUM AND MAJORITY
