FULL CONSOLIDATION OF OPERATIONS IN HONDURAS


New York and Stockholm, 1 July 2010 - Millicom International Cellular S.A.
(“Millicom”) (Nasdaq Stock Market: MICC and Stockholmsbörsen: MIC) today
announces that Millicom and its local partner in Honduras have reached an
agreement that gives Millicom full control of Celtel, its Honduran subsidiary. 
As a result of this agreement, Celtel will now be fully consolidated into the
Millicom Group financial statements from Q3 2010.  Previously, the results of
the Honduras operations were proportionately consolidated. 

Under the revised shareholders' agreement, the local partner has granted
Millicom an unconditional call option for his 33% stake for the next five
years.  Millicom has granted a put option for the same duration to the local
partner in the event of a change of control of Millicom. 

While having no impact on reported net profit or Millicom's overall financial
exposure to Honduras, the pro forma impact of this change on the Group
financial statements for the year to December 2009 is to increase revenues by
6%, EBITDA by 7% and operating free cash flow by 9%. 

As an appendix to our Q2 2010 earnings release on 20 July 2010, we will provide
the pro forma Group income statements for the four quarters of 2009 and Q1 and
Q2 2010, restated to reflect the full consolidation of Honduras. These will
also be available to download in Excel format at www.millicom.com.
