Luxembourg, February 18, 2022 – In advance of the Annual General Meeting of shareholders (“AGM”) of Millicom International Cellular S.A. (“Millicom”), to be held on May 4, 2022, Millicom’s Nomination Committee proposes the election of Tomas Eliasson as a new Non-Executive Director of the Board, the re-election of José Antonio Rios García as a Non-Executive Director and Chairman of the Board, and the re-election of Odilon Almeida, Bruce Churchill, Pernille Erenbjerg, Lars-Johan Jarnheimer, Mercedes Johnson, and James Thompson as Non-Executive Directors of the Board, and the re-election of Mauricio Ramos as an Executive Director of the Board.

John Hernander, Chairman of the Nomination Committee, commented: “The Nomination Committee is pleased to propose the election of Tomas Eliasson as a new Board Director. The addition of Tomas Eliasson will strengthen Millicom’s strategic and financial oversight, particularly in respect of capital allocation and financing structuring, as Millicom’s focuses on opportunities in Latin America in its growth journey.”
