Millicom (Tigo) reiterates intention to consolidate listing of shares on NASDAQ U.S. by delisting SDRs from Nasdaq Stockholm
Luxembourg, February 20, 2025 – As previously communicated on November 29, 2024, Millicom International Cellular S.A. ("Millicom") today reiterated that it intends to file a delisting application with Nasdaq Stockholm on March 3, 2025, which will result in the SDR program being terminated. The last day of trading for SDRs is estimated to be on or around March 17, 2025. The exact date will be decided by Nasdaq Stockholm upon approval of the delisting application.
The Company anticipates that consolidating the listing of its shares onto one single exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market in the United States ("Nasdaq U.S."), will provide improved levels of liquidity to its shareholders, appropriate access to capital for Millicom, attract new investors focused on Latin America, potential inclusion on certain equity indices, a simplified corporate governance structure and a reduction in administrative costs.
SDR holders who wish to remain as shareholders of Millicom must contact their financial institution in order to convert their SDRs into Millicom U.S. Shares prior to the SDR delisting.
After the SDR delisting and as stipulated in the SDR program terms and conditions, the custodian bank (SEB) will sell the Millicom U.S. shares underlying any remaining SDRs, and proceeds (net of transaction costs, fees and taxes) will be distributed to SDR holders who failed to provide timely conversion instructions prior to the SDR delisting. Net cash proceeds will be distributed only after all shares have been sold.
Further information on the delisting and conversions of SDRs into Millicom U.S. Shares is available in Millicom's previous press releases and in a letter sent by Millicom to all directly registered holders of SDRs available on this link: 2024_12_16_Information_Letter_to_SDR_holders_bd3af1ff81_2ab74c41bf.pdf
