five years after we launched Emtel, we are pleased to be able to enhance our
investment in Emtel. We are pioneers in this sector and are delighted to

telecommunications and media sectors, and of the Mauritian economy.

We thank Millicom for the valued contribution over the years.”

Arthur Bastings, Executive Vice President, Africa, from Millicom commented “We
wish our partners at Currimjee and colleagues at Emtel well for the future. We
have had many years of fruitful collaboration in Mauritius and we look forward
to them prospering under the new ownership arrangement whilst we concentrate our
resources on developing operations in Africa and Latin America.”

Shyam Roy, CEO of Emtel Ltd said, “The vision and drive of the shareholders of
Emtel have been outstanding since its creation and throughout the 25 years,
which has brought us to the Emtel of Today. The shareholders have always
privileged investment be it in human capital, technology or financial to build a
customer centric organisation.

This important change, on our 25th Anniversary is also a retune to a new and
future-proof technological and services roadmap to cater for ever growing needs
of customers.

The Emtel team and I wish to thank Millicom for their invaluable support over
the years.
