Tele2 AB: T-Mobile and Tele2 to share antenna sites in the Netherlands

Tele2 and T-Mobile have signed a 10-year contract on site sharing

National 2G and 3G MVNO partnership extended for 5 years

Stockholm - Tele2 AB (Tele2), (NASDAQ OMX Stockholm Exchange: TEL2 A and TEL2 B)
today announced that T-Mobile Netherlands and Tele2 Netherlands have agreed to
share T-Mobile’s sites. By means of this contract, Tele2 Netherlands has now
access to the majority of antenna sites on rooftops and towers, in addition to
its own sites in the Netherlands. Both operators will however roll out and
operate their own frequencies and nationwide mobile communication network
independently. Moreover, Tele2 has extended the MVNO agreement for 2G and 3G
with T-Mobile Netherlands for a period of 5 years.
With this site sharing agreement, T-Mobile and Tele2 will benefit from lower
maintenance costs of the physical mobile network. In the current market
situation, to have the lowest costs is a prerequisite to stay competitive. By
enabling usage of already existing infrastructure the agreement also provides
Tele2 with the most efficient way to roll out its 4G network.

The extended MVNO agreement ensures continued use of voice and data services for
Tele2’s customers. It also serves as a fallback solution after the completion of
Tele2’s own 4G network roll-out.

Both T-Mobile and Tele2 will be installing their own network equipment at each
site, but will share the antennas on rooftops or towers and the installment of
other non-intelligent hardware. Earlier this year, T-Mobile Netherlands started
its network modernization program for 2G and 3G and the roll-out of its 4G
network. This network program is called ‘Samen meer Bereiken’. With this
program, the company invests hundreds of millions of euros to modernize its
current network and roll out its 4G network.

Günther Vogelpoel, CEO Tele2 Netherlands, commented: “This is a milestone in our
continued path to challenge the Dutch telecom market. We can now incorporate the
access to the T-Mobile sites in the total roll-out planning, which enables Tele2
to efficiently build a nationwide 4G-network.”

Thomas Berlemann, Managing Director T-Mobile Netherlands, commented: “We are
very pleased with this renewed partnership. It underlines the continuing trust
of Tele2 in our company as a reliable business partner with a future-proof
nationwide network. This agreement will free up funding which we are able to
reinvest to further differentiate ourselves from competition in customer
services.”
