On the commencement date of the potential tender offer, if such potential offer proceeds, a tender offer statement on Schedule TO, including an offer to purchase, a letter of transmittal and related documents, will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Parent and one or more of its subsidiaries and a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 will be filed with the SEC by Millicom. The potential offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company will only be made pursuant to the offer to purchase, the letter of transmittal and related documents filed as a part of the tender offer statement on Schedule TO.
