Com Hem Holding AB announces proposed share redemption, buy-back programme and a 2015 dividend

Com Hem Holding AB (”Com Hem” or “Company”) today announces that the Board of
Directors has decided on a number of measures aimed at increasing the
shareholder returns. The decisions are made on the back of the company’s strong
performance, transformed balance sheet and reduced interest payments going
forward. This can be achieved while investing in our business to deliver our
operational plan, servicing our debt and remaining within our leverage target.
The Board of Directors has decided to:

  · Propose a one time share redemption programme amounting to approximately SEK
500m, to be decided at an extraordinary general meeting ("EGM"). The EGM is
planned for 10 March 2015 and a notice will be distributed on 12 February 2015
  · Propose a share buy-back programme of up to SEK 1 000m in the form of a buy
-back mandate for the Board during the time until the next annual general
meeting, to be decided at the annual general meeting on 21 May 2015. The Board's
intention is to propose a buy-back programme of this magnitude on an annual
basis.
  · Propose a dividend of 1 SEK per share for 2015 to be decided by the AGM.

”These proposals prove our commitment to deliver attractive returns to our
shareholders while maintaining sufficient financial flexibility to support the
company’s growth ambitions. We are confident Com Hem will continue to generate
strong cash flows going forward on the back of further operational improvement,
reduced interest costs and healthy growth”, said Andrew Barron, Chairman of the
Board of Directors at Com Hem.

”Since listing, Com Hem’s operational and financial performance has been strong.
Important KPI:s such as churn and customer intake have improved and when
considering the full year, we have reduced debt by SEK 5.7bn and lowered our
cash interest payments by SEK 500m per year. Com Hem is now a robust business
which will be highly a highly cash generative, as made evident by the Q4 report,
and we can therefore distribute excess cash to shareholders while investing to
deliver our operational plan, servicing our debt and remaining within our
leverage target”, said Anders Nilsson, Chief Executive Officer at Com Hem.

The conditions of the proposed redemption programme will be announced in the
invitation for the EGM, to be distributed on 12 February 2015.
