NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, at the request of the Board of Directors of
MILLICOM INTERNATIONAL CELLULAR S.A. (“Millicom”) and according to the
applicable law, an extraordinary general meeting (“EGM”) of the shareholders of
Millicom is convened to be held at Millicom offices at 15, rue Léon Laval,
L-3372 Leudelange, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, on Friday, December 18, 2009 at
10.00 a.m. Central European Time ("CET"), to consider and vote on the following
agenda:

AGENDA
1.	As per the proposal of the Company's Board, to decide to distribute a gross
dividend to the Company's shareholders of USD 1.24 per share, corresponding to
an aggregate dividend of approximately USD 135,000,000 to be paid out of the
Company's profits of the year ended 31 December 2008, in the amount of USD
1,382,529,705 which have been carried forward as per the decision of the Annual
General Shareholder's Meeting of May 26, 2009.

QUORUM AND MAJORITY

There is no quorum of presence requirement for the December 18, 2009 EGM. The
EGM agenda item is adopted by a simple majority of the votes cast. 

DIVIDEND PAYMENT
On a parent company basis, Millicom generated a profit of USD 1,383,410,071 for
the year ended 31 December 2008. Of this amount, the shareholders decided to
allocate USD 880,366 to the legal reserve in accordance with the requirements of
the Luxembourg Law on commercial companies dated 10 August 1915, as amended (the
"1915 Law") and the remaining part of the profit of USD 1,382,529,705 was to be
carried forward.

At the December 18, 2009 EGM, the shareholders of Millicom will vote on the
question of whether to authorise the payment of a per share gross cash dividend
of USD 1.24 to shareholders in the manner provided in Article 21 and Article 23
of the Articles.

Interim financial statements of Millicom of September 30, 2009 show that
Millicom has funds available for distribution, in accordance with applicable
law, including the carried forward profits, of USD 1,610,928,117. The considered
USD 1.24 dividend per share represents an aggregate dividend of approximately
USD 135,000,000. The considered dividend shall be paid out of the available
carried forward profits.

In accordance with Luxembourg income tax law, the payment of dividend to
shareholders holding less than 10% of the share capital 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. 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 case the Luxembourg withholding
tax exemption regime conditions are fulfilled. 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.

Eligible Millicom shareholders will receive their dividends in USD (dollars of
the United States of America) whereas holders of Swedish Depository Receipts
will be paid exclusively in SEK (Swedish crowns). HQ Bank AB shall arrange for a
conversion of the dividend received from Millicom to SEK. Such conversion shall
be effected at a market rate of exchange, no earlier than ten and no later than
five banking days before the payment date, by entry into a forward contract with
a due date on the payment date, or the day when the funds are made available to
Euroclear Sweden AB. The applicable rate of exchange shall be the rate of
exchange obtained in such forward contract.

The dividend will be paid to shareholders who are registered in the
shareholders' register kept by Millicom, Euroclear Sweden AB (Euroclear) or
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (AST) as of December 28, 2009.

Payment of dividends is planned for around January 5, 2010. Holders of Swedish
Depository Receipts will be paid by electronic transfer to their bank accounts
whereas a dividend check will be sent to all other eligible shareholders.
