Lars Nyberg leaves TeliaSonera

Lars Nyberg, President and CEO, has decided to leave TeliaSonera.
I am greatly relieved that Mannheimer Swartling has not found anything to
support the allegations that TeliaSonera committed bribery or participated in
money laundering. This is something that I have been convinced of since these
allegations emerged.

At the same time, the Mannheimer Swartling review criticizes TeliaSonera, not
least that we did not conduct a sufficiently in depth analysis into the identity
of our local partner in Uzbekistan before we invested in the country or into how
this partner came to own the assets that were later obtained by TeliaSonera.
Even if this transaction was legal, we should not have gone ahead without
learning more about the identity of our counterparty. This is something I
regret.

When the board received the Mannheimer Swartling report, I was informed that
there would be significant changes to the composition of the board. In order to
continue as chief executive I need a functioning board and their explicit
support. I was informed that as a result of the pending changes to the board
they were not prepared to express that support.

At that point I made up my mind that I would leave my position as chief
executive and therefore I am resigning.

I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved at TeliaSonera during my five and
half years as chief executive. It is a fantastic company with a huge number of
competent and committed employees.
