Nasdaq Stockholm approved the delisting of Millicom (Tigo) SDRs and set the last day of trading on March 17, 2025
Luxembourg, March 3, 2025 – Millicom International Cellular S.A. (“Millicom” or the “Company”), today formally applied for delisting of its Swedish Depository Receipts (“SDRs”) from Nasdaq Stockholm. The delisting application was approved and Nasdaq Stockholm set the last day of trading (the “Delisting Effective Date”) on March 17, 2025.
Millicom reminds holders of SDRs that the delisting will result in the SDR program being terminated. To remain as shareholders of Millicom, SDR holders must convert1 their SDRs into common shares traded in Nasdaq Stock Market in the U.S. (“Millicom U.S. Shares”) by giving an instruction to SEB at the latest by March 19, 2025 (3.00 pm CET) (“Final Conversion Deadline”).
Following the termination of the SDR program, SEB is only able to transfer the underlying Millicom U.S. Shares to the former SDR holder if the SDR holder’s bank/broker has given SEB a complete conversion instruction before the Final Conversion Deadline. In the absence of a proper transfer/conversion instruction, SEB will sell the underlying Millicom U.S. Shares (the “Remaining SDRs”) and distribute the sale proceeds (in SEK) on a pro rata basis to the SDR-holders (with the deduction of reasonable costs, fees and taxes) pursuant to the SDR terms and conditions. The sale proceeds will be distributed only after all the Remaining SDRs are sold by SEB. Given restrictions in relation to the maximum amount of shares SEB is allowed to sell per day , and depending on the final amount of Remaining SDRs, it is not possible to currently say exactly how long such sales will take to complete. SEB intends to commence the sales of the Remaining SDRs as soon as practicable after the Final Conversion Deadline.
