INTRODUCTION

 

This Amendment No. 2 (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 and 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”), 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”), 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.

 

Purchaser is now increasing the Offer Price from USD 24.00 to USD 25.75 per Common Share and per SDR. In the US Offer, the Offer Price of USD 25.75 per Common Share is payable net to the seller in cash, without interest, less any withholding taxes that may be applicable, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase. In the Swedish Offer, settlement will be made in SEK and the Offer Price of USD 25.75 per SDR will be converted into SEK in connection with settlement upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in 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.

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, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended, restated and supplemented, as applicable, as follows:

 

1. Offer Price. On August 2, 2024, Purchaser increased the Offer Price from USD 24.00 to USD 25.75 per Common Share and per SDR. The Offer to Purchase (Exhibit (a)(1)(A)), Form of Letter to Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees (Exhibit (a)(1)(C)) and Form of Letter to Clients for use by Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees (Exhibit (a)(1)(D)) are amended as follows:

 

“All references to the Offer Price (previously USD 24.00) now means a price of USD 25.75 per Common Share and per SDR. In the US Offer, the new Offer Price of USD 25.75 per Common Share is payable net to the seller in cash, without interest, less any withholding taxes that may be applicable, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase. In the Swedish Offer, settlement will be made in SEK and the new Offer Price of USD 25.75 per SDR will be converted into SEK in connection with settlement upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

 

All references to the aggregate Offer Price payable by Purchaser upon consummation of the Offers, previously USD 2.9 billion, or SEK 30.9 billion, now means USD 3.1 billion, or SEK 33.1 billion, in each case based on an illustrative USD/SEK exchange rate of 10.6 as of June 28, 2024.”

 

The Section of the Offer to Purchase titled “Questions and Answers” is amended, restated and supplemented, as applicable, by adding the following:

 

If I tendered my Shares before the Offer Price was increased to $25.75 per Share, do I have to do anything now?

 

No. Shareholders do not have to take any action regarding any Shares previously tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offers. Such Shares constitute valid tenders for purposes of the Offers. If the Offers are completed, these Shares will be accepted for payment by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the Offers and such Shareholders will receive the same increased Offer Price as all other tendering Shareholders. See The Tender Offers—Procedures for Tendering into the Offers.””

 

The Section of the Offer to Purchase titled “Special Factors—Section 1. Background” is amended, restated and supplemented, as applicable, by adding the following paragraphs after the last paragraph in such Section:

 

“On August 2, 2024, Purchaser issued a press release announcing that the Offer Price had been increased from USD 24.00 to USD 25.75 per Common Share and per SDR. The full text of the press release announcing the increase in the Offer Price to be paid in the Offers is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(M) to the Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.”

 

2. Financing of the Offers. The Section of the Offer to Purchase titled “The Tender Offers—Section 10. Certain Source and Amount of Funds—Interim Financing” is amended, restated and supplemented, as applicable, by adding the following after the first paragraph of such Section:

Citibank Europe Plc, Ireland Branch, was also added to the group of arrangers and original interim lenders party to the Interim Facilities. The terms of the Interim Facilities are otherwise unchanged.”

 

The Section of the Offer to Purchase titled “The Tender Offers—Section 10. Certain Source and Amount of Funds—Long-Term Financing—Facilities and Maturity” is amended, restated and supplemented, as applicable, by adding the following after the first paragraph of such Section:

 

“In light of Purchaser’s increase of the Offer Price from USD 24.00 to USD 25.75 on August 2, 2024, it is expected that the Long-Term Financing will now be comprised of USD 7,300,000,000 financings to be entered into by Purchaser. Citibank Europe Plc, Ireland Branch, has also been added to the group of arrangers and original lenders party to the Long-Term Financing. It is expected that the terms of the Long-Term Financing will otherwise be unchanged by such increase in the Offer Price.”
