Millicom’s (Tigo) Independent Committee Reviewing Revised Tender Offers from Atlas Luxco S.à r.l
Luxembourg, August 06, 2024 – On August 2, 2024, Atlas Luxco S.à r.l (“Atlas”) announced that it has increased the offer price in its tender offers to acquire all outstanding common shares and SDRs in Millicom International Cellular S.A. (“Millicom”, and all such common shares and SDRs collectively, the “Shares”, and holders of common shares and SDRs are collectively referred to as “Shareholders”) that Atlas and its affiliates do not currently own from USD $24.00 to USD $25.75 per Share (the “Revised Offers”).
As previously announced on July 15, 2024, a committee of independent members of Millicom’s Board of Directors (the “Independent Committee”) unanimously determined that Atlas’ original tender offers at the original offer price of USD $24.00 per Share significantly undervalued Millicom and unanimously recommended that Millicom’s Shareholders reject the original tender offers and not tender their Shares.
The Independent Committee will carefully review the Revised Offers in accordance with its duties under applicable laws and regulations and will advise Millicom’s Shareholders of its recommendation regarding the Revised Offers. The Independent Committee intends to announce its recommendation regarding the Revised Offers within the next five business days.
The Independent Committee recommends that Millicom Shareholders take no action at this time pending the Independent Committee’s review and evaluation of the Revised Offers and its announcement of its recommendation regarding the Revised Offers.
