Certain conditions to the Offers are described under “The Tender Offers — Terms of the Offers — Conditions for Completion of the Offers” in the Offer to Purchase. The Offers are not subject to any financing condition.
Your prompt action is requested. We urge you to contact your clients as promptly as possible. Please note that the Offers will expire at one minute after 10:59 a.m., EST, on August 16, 2024 (the “Expiration Date”), unless the Offers are extended (in which event the “Expiration Date” will mean the latest time and date at which the Offers, as so extended by Purchaser, will expire). Purchaser is not providing for guaranteed delivery procedures. Therefore, Millicom shareholders must allow sufficient time for the necessary tender procedures to be completed prior to the Expiration Date.
For Common Shares to be properly tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the US Offer, Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, LLC, the depositary and paying agent for the US Offer (the “US Tender Agent”), must be in timely receipt of any tenders through The Depositary Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Automated Tender Program (“ATOP”) or confirmation of a book-entry transfer of such Common Shares into the US Tender Agent’s account at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) pursuant to the procedures set forth under “The Tender Offers — Acceptance for Payment and Payment — Common Shares” in the Offer to Purchase.
Neither Parent nor Purchaser will pay any fees or commissions to any broker or dealer or to any other person (other than to the US Tender Agent and the Information Agent) in connection with the solicitation of tenders of Common Shares pursuant to the US Offer. Brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other nominees will, upon request, be reimbursed by Purchaser for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding the Offer materials to their customers. In those jurisdictions where applicable laws or regulations require the Offers to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Offers will be deemed to be made on behalf of Purchaser by one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction to be designated by Purchaser. Tendering shareholders who are record owners of their Common Shares and who tender directly to the US Transfer Agent will not be obligated to pay brokerage fees or commissions or, except as otherwise provided in the Letter of Transmittal, stock transfer taxes with respect to the purchase of Common Shares by Purchaser pursuant to the US Offer. Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through a broker, banker or other nominee should consult such institution as to whether it charges any service fees or commissions. Questions or requests for assistance may be directed to the Information Agent at the address and telephone number listed below. Additional copies of the Offer to Purchase, the related Letter of Transmittal, and other materials related to the Offers may be obtained at no cost to shareholders from the Information Agent.
