Millicom announces the Nomination Committee ahead of the 2016 Annual General Meeting

Stockholm, 07 October, 2015 - In accordance with the resolution of the 2015
Annual General Meeting of Millicom International Cellular S.A. ("Millicom") the
Chairman of the Board of Directors, Cristina Stenbeck, has convened a Nomination
Committee.
The Nomination Committee comprises Cristina Stenbeck as Chairman of the Board of
Directors, Lorenzo Grabau appointed by Investment AB Kinnevik, Mathias Leijon
appointed by Nordea Investment Funds, and Marianne Nilsson appointed by Swedbank
Robur fonder. The members of the Nomination Committee will appoint its Chairman
at the Committee’s first meeting.

Cristina Stenbeck and Lorenzo Grabau are members of Millicom’s Board of
Directors, and both are dependent in relation to major shareholder Investment AB
Kinnevik. This deviates from the Swedish Corporate Governance Code. The 2015
Annual General Meeting resolved that the Chairman of the Board of Directors
shall be a member of the Nomination Committee, and act as its convenor. The
Meeting also elected Cristina Stenbeck to be Chairman of the Board of Directors.
The appointment of Lorenzo Grabau, the Chief Executive Officer of Investment AB
Kinnevik, to the Nomination Committee was the natural choice for Investment AB
Kinnevik. All members of the Nomination Committee agree that Cristina Stenbeck's
experience of Nomination Committee work will benefit Millicom, and that it is an
advantage for the company that both the Chairman of Millicom’s Board of
Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of Millicom's principal shareholder
take an active role in the Nomination Committee.

Information on the Nomination Committee and the 2016 Annual General Meeting is
available on the company's website: www.millicom.com (http://www.millicom.com/).
Shareholders wishing to propose candidates for election to the Board of
Directors of Millicom should submit their proposal in writing to the Company
Secretary, Millicom International Cellular SA, 2 rue du Fort Bourbon, BP 2312 L
-1023 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
