Atlas Investissement SAS and related parties report a 44.1% beneficial stake in Millicom International Cellular S.A. (TIGO). The group reports beneficial ownership of 73,820,018 Common Shares, based on 167,540,829 shares outstanding as of February 28, 2026.

On March 11, 2026, Atlas Investissement entered an equity derivative transaction with an unaffiliated bank that is designed to be physically settled, with the bank delivering Common Shares at settlement dates in exchange for cash paid by Atlas Investissement.

Until settlement and delivery, Atlas Investissement has no voting, investment or dispositive control over the shares held by the bank for hedging, and the bank will not consult Atlas Investissement on voting those shares. Cash dividends on undelivered shares during the term of the transaction trigger payments from the bank to Atlas Investissement under the agreement’s terms.

Insights

Filing formalizes a large strategic stake in Millicom via derivatives and direct shares.

Atlas Investissement, together with Iliad Holding, Maya and the Niel family, reports beneficial ownership of 73,820,018 Millicom Common Shares, or 44.1% based on 167,540,829 shares outstanding as of February 28, 2026. This combines existing holdings and exposure from an equity derivative structure.

On March 11, 2026, Atlas Investissement entered an equity derivative transaction with a bank, under which it expects to purchase up to 3,350,000 Common Shares on or before June 30, 2026. The agreement is cash-funded and is intended to be physically settled, meaning Atlas ultimately receives shares rather than cash, absent extraordinary events.

Until settlement, the bank holds hedging shares and retains all voting and dispositive power, and does not consult Atlas on voting. Cash dividends on undelivered shares are passed through via payments from the bank to Atlas, as defined in the confirmation filed as an exhibit. Subsequent disclosures may clarify how much of the up to 3,350,000 shares is ultimately delivered.
