AMSTERDAM COURT OF APPEAL REJECTS ALL CLAIMS AGAINST TELE2’S OFFERS FOR VERSATEL
Stockholm – Tele2 AB, (“Tele2”), (Stockholmsbörsen: TEL2A and TEL2B), the leading alternative pan-European telecommunications company, announces that the Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal has today rejected all injunctive relief claims by certain shareholders in Versatel and the Dutch shareholders association (VEB) against Tele2’s offers for all outstanding shares and convertible bonds in Versatel.
The rejected claims were based on objections against the offers, the resolutions scheduled for Versatel’s shareholders meeting on 29 September 2005 and the contemplated steps following the offers. Tele2 can now proceed with the offer process as planned.CONTACTSLars-Johan Jarnheimer, Telephone: + 46 8 562 640 00President and CEO, Tele2 ABHåkan Zadler, Telephone: + 46 8 562 640 00CFO, Tele2 ABDwayne Taylor, Telephone: + 44 20 7321 5038Lena Krauss, Telephone: + 46 8 562 000 45 Investor enquiriesVisit us at our homepage: http://www.Tele2.com
