NOTES REGARDING THE NOTICE

CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING (2010 AGM - item 1)
Pursuant to paragraph 8 of Millicom's Articles, the Chairman of the Board of
Directors intends to delegate the duty of presiding the 2010 AGM to a person
yet to be determined. 

PARTICIPATION AND PAYMENT INFORMATION FOR PROPOSED DIVIDEND (2010 AGM - item 5)

The Board of Directors of Millicom proposes that the meeting approve a 2009
annual gross cash dividend of USD 1.40 per share as well as a special dividend
of USD 4.60 per share to Millicom shareholders, equivalent to USD 6.00 per
share and approximately USD 652 million in total in the manner provided in
Article 21 and Article 23 of Millicom's Articles of Association. 

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. 

An extract from Millicom's Form 20-F filing for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2009 regarding U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations can be found on
Millicom's web page (www.millicom.com) under “AGM 2010”. 

Eligible Millicom shareholders will receive their dividends in USD (United
States Dollars) 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. 

Dividend will be paid to shareholders who are registered in the shareholders
registry kept by Millicom, Euroclear Sweden AB (Euroclear) or American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company (AST) as of May 28, 2010. 

The ex-dividend date will be determined by NASDAQ and NASDAQ OMX Stockholm
respectively and is estimated to be May 26, 2010. 

Payment of dividends is planned for June 3, 2010. Holders of Swedish Depository
Receipts will be paid by electronic transfer to bank accounts linked to their
securities accounts whereas a dividend check will be sent to all other eligible
shareholders.

the 1915 Law and in accordance with the objectives, conditions, and
restrictions as provided by the European Commission Regulation No. 2273/2003 of

(b) employee share option programmes or other allocations of shares to

of shares that shall be, as necessary, adjusted in order to take into account
transactions affecting the share capital following the 2010 AGM as further
detailed under c) below (ii) that the acquisitions carried out by Millicom may
in no event cause it to hold, directly or indirectly, more than ten percent
(10%) of the share capital, (iii) the aggregate amount that Millicom may assign
to the buyback of its own shares shall be set in accordance with the provisions

system on the same date, regardless of the market or exchange involved.

price adjustments and the maximum number of securities to be acquired in

shares or in case of splitting or regrouping of shares et sq.
