INTRODUCTION

 

This Amendment No. 8 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement filed under cover of Schedule TO filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 1, 2024 (as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5, Amendment No. 6, Amendment No. 7, this Amendment and as further amended or supplemented from time to time, this “Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement”) by Atlas Luxco S.à r.l., a Luxembourg limited liability company (société à responsibilité limitée) (Purchaser”), Atlas Investissement, a French société par actions simplifiée and the parent company of Purchaser (“Parent”), NJJ Holding S.A.S., a simplified joint-stock company domiciled in Paris, France (société par actions simplifiée) and the majority owner of Parent (“NJJ”), Xavier Niel, the owner of NJJ (together with Purchaser, Parent and NJJ, the “Purchaser Group”), and Maxime Lombardini (together with the Purchaser Group, the “Filing Parties”), the Non-Executive Director, President and Chief Operating Officer of Millicom, as well as Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors of Iliad Group, an affiliate of Purchaser and Parent.

 

This Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase, through separate but concurrent offers in the United States (the US Offer”) and Sweden (the “Swedish Offer”), all of the issued and outstanding common shares, par value $1.50 per share (each, a “Common Share,” and collectively, the “Common Shares”), including Swedish Depositary Receipts representing Common Shares (each of which represents one Common Share) (each, an “SDR,” and collectively, the “SDRs,” and together with Common Shares, the “Shares”), of Millicom International Cellular S.A., a public limited liability company (société anonyme) organized and established under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Millicom” or the “Company”), for USD 25.75 per Common Share and USD 25.75 per SDR (each such amount, the “Offer Price”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase attached to this Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the accompanying Letter of Transmittal attached to this Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement as Exhibit (a)(1)(B) (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Letter of Transmittal” and together with the Offer to Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal and other materials related to the Swedish Offer and the US Offer, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offers”). Unless otherwise indicated, references to sections in this Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement are references to sections of the Offer to Purchase.

 

Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference to the extent relevant to the items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase.

 

Items 1 through 9, Item 11 and Item 13.

 

The information contained in the Offer to Purchase and Items 1 through 9, Item 11 and Item 13 of the Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement are hereby amended, restated and supplemented, as applicable, as follows:

 

“On August 22, 2024, the Offers and the withdrawal rights expired as scheduled at one minute after 10:59 a.m. EST or one minute after 4:59 p.m. CEST and were not further extended. As of such time all remaining conditions to the Offers were satisfied and the Offers were completed. The US Tender Agent and the Swedish Settlement Agent have advised Purchaser that a total of 19,269,377 Shares were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, representing approximately 11.25% of the outstanding Shares (based on 172,096,305 Shares outstanding less 789,807 Shares held in treasury by Millicom as of July 30, 2024, as disclosed by Millicom on such date under the “Stock Information” section of Millicom’s website). Of the Shares tendered, 2,230,932 Common Shares were tendered pursuant to the US Offer and 17,038,445 SDRs were tendered pursuant to the Swedish Offer. All Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offers have been accepted for payment by Purchaser. Together with Purchaser’s 49,966,734 Shares held prior to the Offers, Purchaser will now hold 69,236,111 Shares, representing approximately 40.42% of the outstanding Shares. Settlement for the Shares tendered in the Offers is expected to be initiated in accordance with the terms of the Offers around September 2, 2024. On August 23, 2024, Purchaser issued a press release announcing the expiration and results of the Offers, which is incorporated by reference herein.”
