PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
Financial statement information
We have included in this Annual Report the Millicom Group’s (as defined below) audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Millicom Group’s financial statements included herein and the accompanying notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). We end our fiscal year on December 31. References to fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 refer to the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Comunicaciones Celulares, S.A. (“Comcel”), our principal Guatemala joint venture company in which we hold a 55% ownership interest but which we do not control, met the income threshold as a significant investee accounted for by the equity method for purposes of Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.  The financial statements for Comcel are included in Exhibit 99.1 to this Annual Report.
Our management determines operating and reportable segments based on the reports that are used by the chief operating decision maker to make strategic and operational decisions from both a business and geographic perspective. The Millicom Group’s risks and rates of return for its operations are predominantly affected by operating in different geographical regions. The Millicom Group has businesses in two main regions, Latin America and Africa, which constitute our two segments. Our Latin America segment includes our Guatemala and Honduras joint ventures as if they were fully consolidated, as this reflects the way our management reviews and uses internally reported information to make decisions about operating matters and to provide increased transparency to investors on those operations. Our Africa segment does not include our joint venture in Ghana because our management does not consider it a strategic part of our group.
Presentation of data
We present operational and financial data in this Annual Report. Operational data, such as the number of customers, unless otherwise indicated, are presented for the Millicom Group, including our subsidiaries and excluding Guatemala and Honduras joint ventures and our Ghana joint venture, unless otherwise stated. Latin America ("Latam") figures include Honduras and Guatemala as if they are fully consolidated by the Group, as this reflects the way management reviews and uses internally reported information to make decisions. We exclude Ghana joint venture from the Africa operational data because, unlike our other joint ventures, we do not consider it a strategic part of our Group. Financial data is presented either at a consolidated level or at a segmental level, as derived from our financial statements, including the notes thereto.
We have made rounding adjustments to reach some of the figures included in this Annual Report. Accordingly, numerical figures shown as totals in some tables may not be an exact arithmetic aggregation of the figures that preceded them and percentage calculations using these adjusted figures may not result in the same percentage values as are shown in this Annual Report.
Certain references
Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company” or “MIC S.A.” refer only to Millicom International Cellular S.A., a public limited liability company (société anonyme) organized and established under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and the terms “Millicom,” “Millicom Group,” “our Group”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Millicom International Cellular S.A. and its consolidated subsidiaries and, where applicable, its joint ventures in Guatemala and Honduras.
Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “U.S. dollars,” “dollars” or “$” are to the lawful currency of the United States of America; all references to “Euro” or “€” are to the lawful currency of the participating Member States in the Third Stage of European Economic and Monetary Union of the Treaty Establishing the European Community, as amended from time to time; and all references to “Swedish Krona” or “SEK” are to the lawful currency of the Kingdom of Sweden.

ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION

A.    Selected Financial Data
Historical financial information
The following tables present selected historical financial data for the Millicom Group. The statement of income data for the Millicom Group set forth below for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 and the statements of financial position data set forth below as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 are derived from the Millicom Group’s audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. The statement of income data for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and statement of financial position data as of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 are derived from the Millicom Group’s audited consolidated financial statements not included in this Annual Report.
Our management determines operating and reportable segments based on the reports that are used by the chief operating decision maker to make strategic and operational decisions from both a business and geographic perspective. The Millicom Group’s risks and rates of return for its operations are predominantly affected by operating in different geographical regions. The Millicom Group has businesses in two main regions, Latin America and Africa, which constitute our two segments. Our Latin America segment includes the Guatemala and Honduras joint ventures as if they were fully consolidated, as this reflects the way our management reviews and uses internally reported information to make decisions about operating matters and to provide increased transparency to investors on those operations. Our Africa segment does not include our joint venture in Ghana, because our management does not consider it a strategic part of our group.
You should read this selected financial data together with “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” and the financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Annual Report. The historical results are not necessarily indicative of the Millicom Group’s future results of operations or financial condition.

D.    Risk Factors
In addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report, you should carefully consider the following risk factors before investing in our shares. The risks and uncertainties we describe below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties of which we are not aware or that we currently believe are less material may also adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations, cash flows or prospects of the Millicom Group. If any of the possible events described below were to occur, the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Millicom Group could be materially and adversely affected. If that happens, the market price of our shares could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
This Annual Report also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including the risks described below and elsewhere in this Annual Report.
The risk factors described in this section have been separated into four separate but interrelated areas:
1.Risks related to the telecommunication and cable industries
2.Risks related to Millicom’s businesses in the markets in which it operates
3.Risks related to Millicom’s size, structure and leadership
4.Risks related to share ownership, governance practices, and registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission

1.Risks related to the telecommunication and cable industries

a.Evolution of the telecommunications and cable industries

The telecommunications industry is characterized by rapid technological change and continually evolving industry standards.
The telecommunications industry is characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards. The technology we use is increasingly complex, which leads to higher risks of implementation failure or service disruption. Success in the industry is increasingly dependent on the ability of operators to adapt to the changing technological landscape. The technologies utilized today may become obsolete or subject to competition from new technologies in the future. For example, our 3G or 4G services may become obsolete when appropriate devices become available and affordable for consumers and consumers upgrade to 5G services.
Growth in internet connectivity has led to the proliferation of entrants offering Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) services and video content services delivered over the internet. Such operators could displace the services we provide by using our customers’ internet access (which may or may not be provided by us) to enable the provision of communication, entertainment and information services directly to our customers. Failure to transform to data-driven products could have a negative impact on our legacy services and impact our results from operations.
Our ability to attract and retain customers is, in part, dependent on our ability to meet customer demand for new technology at the same, or at a quicker rate, than our competitors are able to do.
Failure to adapt and evolve could harm our competitive position, render our products obsolete and cause us to incur substantial costs to replace our products or implement new technologies.
Implementing new technologies requires substantial investments which may not generate expected returns.
The introduction of new technologies may require significant capital expenditure on infrastructure and there can be no guarantee that those investments will generate expected returns. As customers reduce their use of mobile voice and short message service (“SMS”) services, there may not be a corresponding increase in their data use or revenue generated from data use.
If we cannot successfully develop and operate our mobile, cable and broadband networks and distribution systems, we will be unable to expand our customer base and may lose market share and revenue.
Our ability to increase or maintain our market share and revenue is partly dependent on the success of our efforts to expand our business, the quality of our services and the management of our networks and
12


distribution systems. As new technologies are developed or upgraded, such as advanced 4G systems, including 4G LTE, 5G systems, and fiber optic cable networks, our equipment may need to be replaced or upgraded or we may need to rebuild our mobile, cable or broadband network, in whole or in part.
The initial build-out of our networks and distribution systems and sustaining sufficient network performance and reliability is a capital-intensive process that is subject to risks and uncertainties which may delay the introduction of services and increase the cost of network construction or upgrade. Such uncertainties include constraints on our ability to fund additional capital expenditures, as well as external forces, such as obtaining necessary permits and spectrum from regulatory and other local authorities.
Unforeseeable technological developments may also render our services or distribution channels unpopular with customers or obsolete. To the extent we fail to expand, upgrade and modernize our networks and distribution systems on a timely basis relative to our competitors, we may not be able to expand our customer base and we may lose customers to competitors.
b.Content and content rights

We make long-term content and service commitments in advance even though we cannot predict the popularity of the services or ratings the programming will generate and our mobile applications and cable content may not be accepted or widely used by our customers.
We acquire rights to distribute certain content or services for use by our mobile, paid TV and broadband customers, and we have strategic partnerships with major digital players, such as Amazon. We make long–term commitments in advance even though we cannot predict the popularity of the services or ratings the programming will generate. In some instances, our commitments include minimum guarantees, which means that we are required to pay a certain agreed upon amount regardless of the amount collected from the provision of such services. The commercial success of applications or content also depends on the quality and acceptance of other competing applications or content released into the marketplace at or near the same time.
The success of our pay-TV services depends on our ability to access an attractive selection of television programming from content providers.
The ability to provide movie, sports and other popular programming is a major factor that attracts customers to pay-TV services. We may not be able to obtain sufficient high-quality programming from third-party producers or exclusive sports content for our cable TV services on satisfactory terms or at all in order to offer compelling cable TV services, which could result in reduced demand for, and lower revenue and profitability from, our cable services.
Content and programming costs are rising (especially those with exclusivity rights) and we may not be able to pass the increased costs on to our customers.
In recent years, the cable and pay-TV industry has experienced a rapid escalation in the cost of content rights and programming. We expect these costs may continue to increase, particularly those related to exclusive and live broadcasts of sporting and other events. We may not be able to moderate the growth in these costs or fully pass these on to our customers in the form of price increases.
Consumers are increasingly able to choose from a variety of platforms from which to receive content and programming.
A number of content providers have begun to sell their services through alternative distribution channels including IP-based platforms, smart-TVs and other app-compatible devices. Consumers may choose to purchase on-demand content through these alternative transmission methods, which may lead to reduced demand for our pay-TV services.
We may be subject to legal liability associated with providing online services or media content.
We host and provide a wide variety of services and products that enable our customers to conduct business, and engage in various online activities. The law relating to the liability of providers of these online services and products for the activities of their customers is still unsettled in some jurisdictions. Claims may be threatened or brought against us for defamation, negligence, breaches of contract, copyright or trademark infringement, unfair competition, tort, including personal injury, fraud, or other theories based on the nature and content of information that we use and store. In addition, we may be subject to domestic or international actions alleging that certain content we have generated or third-party content that we have made available within our services violates applicable law or third-party rights.
We also offer third-party products, services and content. We may be subject to claims concerning these products, services or content by virtue of our involvement in marketing, branding, broadcasting, or providing access to them, even if we do not ourselves host, operate, provide, or provide access to these
13


products, services or content. Defense of any such actions could be costly and involve significant time and attention of our management and other resources, may result in monetary liabilities or penalties, and may require us to change our business in an adverse manner.
c.Licenses and spectrum

Available spectrum is limited, closely regulated and increasingly expensive.
The availability of spectrum is limited, closely regulated and can be expensive, and we may not be able to obtain it from the regulator or third parties at all or at a price that we deem to be commercially acceptable given competitive conditions. If we acquire spectrum through acquisition, regulators may require us to surrender spectrum to secure regulatory approval. We may need to incur significant capital expenditures in order to acquire or renew licenses or access infrastructure needed to continue to offer services to our customers or improve our current services.
Additional or supplemental licenses may be required to implement 5G technology in order to remain competitive, and we may be unable to acquire such licenses on reasonable terms or at all.
We may not be able to acquire or retain sufficient quantities of spectrum in our preferred band(s) which could impact the quality and efficiency of our networks and services and may negatively impact our profitability.
Our licenses may be suspended or revoked and we may be fined or penalized for alleged violations of law or regulations.
If we fail to comply with the conditions of our licenses or with the requirements established by the legislation or if we do not obtain permits for the operation of our networks and equipment, use of frequencies or additional licenses for broadcasting directly or through agreements with broadcasting companies, we may not have sufficient opportunity to cure any non-compliance. In the event that we do not cure any non-compliance, the applicable regulator may: levy fines; suspend or terminate our licenses, frequency permissions, or other governmental permissions or; refuse to renew licenses that are up for renewal. For example, legislation in Tanzania requires telecommunications companies to list their shares on the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange and offer 25% of their shares in a public offering. We have not yet complied with this requirement and the maximum penalty for non-compliance could include a revocation of our telecommunications licenses in Tanzania.
Most of our licenses are granted for finite periods.
Most of our licenses are granted for specified terms, and we have no assurance that any license will be renewed upon expiration. Licenses due to expire in the medium-to-near term include our mobile telecommunications licenses in Paraguay (2021, 2022 and 2023), Nicaragua (2023) and Colombia (2021 and 2023). In El Salvador, we have been in the process of renewing certain portions of the 3.5 GHz band with local coverage (not at a national level), which expired in 2018-2020. However, the regulator has shown an interest in reorganizing the band to prepare it for an auction for spectrum with national coverage during the second half of 2021. Other portions of the 3.5 GHz band will expire during 2026 and 2027.
Other licenses due to expire include our license for data transmission and DTH services in Honduras (2022 and 2024), concessions to operate telephone services and pay-TV services in Panama (2022 and 2024) and spectrum licenses for fixed wireless services in Paraguay (2024). In Tanzania, our national and international applications services licenses are due to expire in 2022 and 2030, respectively.
Licenses may contain additional obligations.
Licenses may contain additional obligations, including payment obligations, requirements to cover reduced service areas or permit a more limited scope of service (for example, around prisons in El Salvador and Honduras). The cost of extending coverage to reduced service areas may exceed the revenue generated from providing such services. Licenses may also contain coverage obligations, like in Colombia where recent 700 MHz frequency acquisitions were paid partly with cash and partly by committing to provide coverage to 1,636 districts over the course of 5 years. In addition, increased regulations may impose additional obligations on operators and these obligations may affect the retention and renewal of licenses or spectrum. For more information, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Regulation.”
d.Quality and resilience of networks and service

Equipment and network systems failures, including as a result of a natural disaster, sabotage or terrorist attack, could negatively impact our business.
Our business is dependent on certain sophisticated critical systems, including exchanges, switches, fiber, cable headends, data centers and other key network elements, physical infrastructure and billing and
14


customer service systems. Our technological infrastructure is vulnerable to damage and disruptions from numerous events, including fire, flood, windstorms and other natural disasters, power outages, terrorist acts, equipment and system failures, human errors and intentional wrongdoings, including breaches of our network and information technology security. Ongoing risks to our network include state sponsored censorship, sabotage, theft and poor equipment maintenance.
Inability to manage a crisis could harm our brand and lead to increased government obligations in the future.
Telecommunications networks provide essential support to first responders and government authorities in the event of natural disasters, terrorist attacks, pandemics and other similar crises. If we fail to develop and implement detailed business continuity and crisis management plans, we may be unable to provide service at the level that is required or perceived to be required by the government, the regulator, our customers and by the public at large, and this could lead to new and burdensome regulatory obligations in the future.
e.Regulation

The telecommunications and broadcasting market is heavily regulated.
The licensing, construction, ownership and operation of mobile telephone, broadband and cable TV networks, and the grant, maintenance and renewal of the required licenses or permits, as well as radio frequency allocations and interconnection arrangements, are regulated by national, state, regional or local governmental authorities in the markets in which we operate, which can lead to disputes with government regulators. For example, the Colombian regulator previously challenged Colombia Móvil’s license fee, stating that it should be a significantly higher amount than we had recorded, although Colombia Móvil prevailed.
Certain other aspects of mobile telephone operations, including rates charged to customers, resale of mobile telephone services, and user registrations may be subject to public utility regulation in each market. Also, because of our market share, regulators could impose asymmetric interconnection or termination rates, which could undermine our competitive position in the markets in which we operate. Additionally, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments in several of our markets have discussed and/or imposed obligations to provide free service or limitations on our ability to collect sums due from customers. Specifically, several countries prohibited the disconnection of customers with past due accounts for an extended period. Any such measures could once again significantly impact our revenues and/or collections.
Changes in regulations may subject us to legal proceedings and regulatory actions and may disrupt our business activities.
For example, since 2014, mobile operators in El Salvador and Honduras have been required to shut down services or reduce signal capacity in and around prisons. Similar laws have been enacted in Guatemala, although these were later nullified.
Regulations which make it commercially unviable to subsidize our mobile customers’ handsets, or set an expiry date on when our customers must use their prepaid minutes, data or SMS bundles, could reduce revenue and margins for mobile services. For example, in 2015, the regulator in Colombia determined that handsets and telecommunication services could not be bundled and had to be invoiced separately. This had a direct impact on handset affordability and caused a sharp decline in our handset sales. In 2016, the regulator in Paraguay extended the unused prepaid data allowance from 30 to 90 days, which impacted the frequency at which a portion of our prepaid customers purchase additional data allowances from us. In 2019, the Legislative Assembly in El Salvador made a reform to the Consumer Protection Law, which required a change in the telecommunication companies' commercial activities. It demanded the maintenance for up to 90 days of unused data allowances and prohibited automatic renewals, changing our financial results. Additionally, it banned broadcasts and collection activities outside business hours, impacting our clients' churn trends and payment behavior.

Our Mobile Financial Services (“MFS”) product may be subject to new legislation and regulation.
In most markets in which we have launched MFS, the regulations governing our MFS are new and evolving, and, as they develop, regulations could become more onerous, imposing additional reporting or controls or limiting our flexibility to design new products, which may limit our ability to provide our services efficiently or at all. We may not be able to modify our service provision in time to comply with any new regulatory requirements, or new regulation may be applied retroactively.
For more information on the regulatory environment in the markets in which we operate, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Regulation.”

f.Cyber security and data protection

Cyber-attacks may cause equipment failures that render our networks or systems inoperable and could cause disruptions to our customers’ operations.
Cyber-attacks, including through the use of malware, computer viruses, dedicated denial of services attacks, credential harvesting, social engineering and other means for obtaining unauthorized access to or disrupting the operation of our networks and systems and those of our suppliers, vendors and other service providers, could have an adverse effect on our business. Ransomware attacks are a type of cyber-attack in which a business becomes unable to access its own information and is presented with a demand to pay a ransom in order to once again have access to its information. Cyber-attacks may cause equipment failures as well as disruptions to our or our customers' operations. Cyber-attacks against companies, including Millicom, have increased in frequency, scope and potential harm in recent years.
The inability to operate or use our networks and systems or those of our suppliers, vendors and other service providers as a result of cyber-attacks, even for a limited period of time, may result in significant expenses to Millicom and/or a loss of market share to other communications providers. The costs associated with a major cyber-attack on Millicom could include expensive incentives offered to existing customers and business partners to retain their business, increased expenditures on cybersecurity measures and the use of alternate resources and lost revenue from business interruption and litigation.
Cyber-attacks could result in data loss or other security breaches.
Our business involves the receipt, storage, and transmission of confidential information, including sensitive personal information and payment card information, confidential information about our employees and suppliers, and other sensitive information about Millicom, such as our business plans, transactions and intellectual property. Unauthorized access to confidential information may be difficult to anticipate, detect, or prevent. We may experience unauthorized access or distribution of confidential information by third parties or employees, errors or breaches by third party suppliers, or other breaches of security that compromise the integrity of confidential information. As many companies do, Millicom has experienced occurrences of denial of service, phishing, attempted ransomware attacks, and internal and external malicious actors targeting our systems and networks.
Our control environment and controls may not be sufficient to prevent or rapidly detect and respond to cyber-attacks, or identify the perpetrators of such attacks.
The perpetrators of cyber-attacks are not restricted to particular groups or persons. These attacks may be committed by company employees or external actors operating in any geography, including jurisdictions where law enforcement measures to address such attacks are unavailable or ineffective, and may even be launched by or at the behest of nation states. Cyber-attacks may occur alone or in conjunction with physical attacks, especially where disruption of service is an objective of the attacker.
We collect and process sensitive customer data.
We increasingly collect, store and use customer data that is protected by data protection laws. Data privacy laws and regulations apply broadly to the collection, use, storage, disclosure and security of personal information that identifies or may be used to identify an individual, such as names and contact information. Many countries have additional laws that regulate the processing, retention and use of communications data (both content and metadata), and in some countries, authorities can intercept communications, sometimes directly or without our knowledge. These laws and regulations are subject to frequent revisions and differing interpretations, and have generally become more stringent over time.
Requests from local law enforcement for customer data may also come into conflict with applicable data privacy laws and customer expectations, creating risks to our local businesses arising from our responses to these requests.
Since we may offer certain services accessed by, or provided to customers within, the European Union and the State of California in the United States, we may be subject to the European Union and California data protection regulations known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), respectively, which impose significant penalties for non-compliance.
In addition, some of the countries in which we operate are considering or have passed legislation imposing data privacy requirements that could increase the cost and complexity of providing our services. Although we take precautions to protect data, we may fail to do so and certain data may be leaked or otherwise used inappropriately.
16



g.Competition

Our industry is experiencing consolidation that may intensify competition among operators.
The telecommunications and cable industry has been characterized by increasing consolidation and a proliferation of strategic transactions. As a result, we are increasingly competing with larger competitors that may have substantially greater resources than we do. We expect this consolidation and strategic partnering to continue. Acquisitions or strategic relationships could harm us in a number of ways. For example:
competitors could acquire or enter into relationships with companies with which we have strategic relationships and discontinue our relationship, resulting in the loss of distribution opportunities for our services or the loss of certain enhancements or value-added features to our services;

a competitor could be acquired by a party with significant resources and experience that could increase the ability of the competitor to compete with our services, as was the case in Guatemala recently when America Movil acquired the mobile business of Telefonica; and

other companies with related interests could combine to form new, formidable competition, which could preclude us from obtaining access to certain markets or content, or which could dramatically change the market for our services.

Consumers in our industry can change service providers relatively easily at little to no cost, which renders the competition for subscribers between operators intense.
If new competitors enter into our markets or existing competitors offer more competitively priced products or services, such as eliminating installation fees, subsidizing handsets, modems, wireless routers or set-top boxes, or offering content, channels or applications that we do not offer, our customers may move to another operator. Most of our mobile customers are prepaid, which allows them to switch operators at any time without monetary penalty, and some of our cable operator competitors incentivize customers to accept longer contracts, making it difficult to subsequently switch operators.
Some of our customers use devices with dual SIM card capability, allowing them to also utilize our competitors' services, which may negatively affect our mobile revenue. If we are unable to develop strategies to encourage customers to retain us as their primary or sole provider, we could lose a larger percentage of our revenue to our competitors. Mobile number portability in our markets removes a disincentive to changing providers and increases competition and churn. As devices with eSIMs are introduced in our markets, allowing customers to change providers without changing their SIM cards, churn and pricing competition among providers may also increase.
If we are unable to compete effectively and match or mitigate our competitors' strategies or aggressive competitive behavior, in pricing our services or acquiring new and preferred customers, or if we are unable to develop strategies to encourage customers to retain us as their primary or sole provider, we could suffer adverse revenue impacts or higher costs for customer retention, which could, individually or together, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Consumers in the telecommunications industry now have many alternative means of communicating.
The proliferation of VoIP offerings and other services delivered over the internet (referred to as “Over-The-Top” or “OTT” services) for voice, instant messaging, and content has significantly increased competitive risk and has driven down revenue from legacy voice and SMS services. While these alternative communication methods require usage of data, there are no guarantees that consumers will use our networks to obtain data services.
h.Environment and sustainability

Failure to comply with environmental requirements could result in monetary fines, reputation damage or other obligations.
Certain of our business operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations since they involve fuel consumption, carbon dioxide emission, and disposal of network equipment and old electronics. Environmental requirements have become more stringent over time and pending or proposed new regulations could impact our operations or costs.
17



i.Supplier management

We are dependent on key suppliers to provide us with products and devices.
We rely on handset distributors, manufacturers and application developers to provide us with the handsets, hardware and services demanded by our customers. The key suppliers of our handsets and set-top boxes, in terms of both volume of sales and importance to our operations, are Samsung, Huawei, Apple, Motorola, BMobile, Alcatel, Bold, Sky, LG, Xiaomi, Commscope, and Kaon. We import directly, or we source our handsets through resellers in our markets such as Brightstar Corp.
We are dependent on key suppliers to provide us with networks and systems.
We seek to standardize our network equipment to ensure compatibility, ease equipment replacement and reduce downtime of our network and contract with a limited number of international suppliers to achieve economies of scale, which means that we rely on a limited number of manufacturers to provide network and telecommunications equipment and technical support. The key suppliers of equipment and software for our existing networks are Huawei, Arris, Ericsson, NEC, Nokia, Harmonic, Intraway and VMWare.
We have limited influence over these key suppliers and, even less over their suppliers and continuity of their supply chains, which could be disrupted in many ways. Therefore we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain required products or services on favorable terms or at all.
International actions including trade sanctions could disrupt or otherwise negatively impact our supply chain.
In May 2019, the U.S. government announced executive action that could impact our ability to continue obtaining products or services required to operate our networks from suppliers such as Huawei. In November 2019, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued a proposed rule which does not specifically ban all purchases from these suppliers. The proposed rule has not been finalized yet. Although the extent and potential consequences of this proposed rule remain uncertain, it may have a material and adverse effect on our ability to maintain and expand our networks and business. There are a number of alternative suppliers available to us; however, if we are unable to obtain adequate alternative supplies of equipment or technical support in a timely manner, on acceptable commercial and pricing terms, our ability to maintain and expand our networks and business may be materially and adversely affected.
We rely on interconnection and capacity agreements, the terms of which could be made less favorable due to market participants or regulatory changes.
Interconnection and capacity agreements are required to transmit voice and data to and from our networks. Our ability to provide services would be hampered if our access to local interconnection and international capacity was limited, or if the commercial terms or costs of interconnect and capacity agreements with other local, domestic and international carriers of data and communications were significantly altered, or if an operator is not able to provide interconnection due to operation and maintenance issues or natural disasters.
We depend upon certain third parties to operate and maintain parts of the networks we use, including certain towers and network infrastructure, and related services.
We have sold and leased back a significant number of our towers, including in El Salvador, Colombia, Tanzania and Paraguay, as further discussed under “Item 4. Information on the Company—D. Property, Plant and Equipment—Tower infrastructure,” and we may engage in similar transactions in the future in our other markets.
We have entered into managed services agreements in certain of our markets to outsource the maintenance and replacement of our network equipment. Although the contracts impose performance obligations on the operators and tower management companies, we cannot guarantee that they will meet these obligations or implement remedial action in a timely manner, which may result in these towers or networks not being properly operated. If our managed services agreements terminate, we may be unable to find a cost-effective, suitable alternative provider and we may no longer have the necessary expertise in-house to perform comparable services.
We and our customers are dependent on third party suppliers of electricity to power transmission and customer premise equipment.
Significant failure or disruption in the supply of power to the businesses and households that subscribe to our services, or to the data centers that we operate, could have a negative impact on the
18


experience of our customers, which could result in claims against us for failure to provide services and reduce our revenue.
2.Risks related to Millicom’s business in the markets in which we operate

The COVID-19 global pandemic is affecting our operations, business and financial condition, and our liquidity could be negatively impacted, particularly if the economies of the countries in which we operate remain unstable for a significant amount of time.
The outbreak of a novel and highly contagious form of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), which the World Health Organization has declared a pandemic, has resulted in numerous deaths, adversely impacted global commercial activity and contributed to significant volatility in global equity and debt markets and business uncertainty. The impact of the outbreak continues to evolve, and most countries globally, including a majority of the countries where we operate, initially reacted by implementing severe restrictions on travel and public gatherings, including the closing of offices, businesses, schools, retail stores and other public venues, and by instituting curfews or quarantines. According to data compiled by the University of Oxford, the government-imposed lockdowns in the vast majority of our markets were among the most stringent in the world. As a result, many of our stores and distribution channels were forced to close temporarily affecting our gross sales, and a majority of our markets experienced very sharp reductions in mobility during 2020.
Such measures, as well as the general uncertainty surrounding the dangers of COVID-19, have produced a significant disruption in economic activity and have had an adverse impact on transportation, hospitality, tourism, entertainment and other industries. Many of these measures remain in place, and further restrictions may be imposed in the future. In addition, many currencies globally have experienced increased volatility. In our markets, the Colombian peso and the Paraguayan guarani devalued by approximately 8% year-on-year in 2020.
Despite significant mobility restrictions imposed by governments, the virus has continued to spread rapidly in most of our markets. As a provider of essential services, we have prioritized the health and safety of our employees and customers by implementing new protocols, providing protective equipment and cleaning products, and disseminating information from the corresponding health authorities in each of our markets. These measures have had a negligible impact on our costs and allowed our customer-facing employees to continue to serve our customers safely and with confidence throughout the pandemic.
At the onset of the pandemic, governments in some countries mandated that companies such as ours avoid disconnecting clients for nonpayment, that we waive fees for late payments, and/or that we defer payments over an extended period of time, among other measures. When implemented, these measures had a very material negative impact on our collections, thus causing higher provisions for bad debt. While collections subsequently improved and returned to pre-COVID-19 levels in tandem with the implementation of lifeline services, governments may impose additional mandates that may once again have a negative impact on our collections.
These factors have negatively impacted our operating and financial performance in 2020 and we expect such factors to continue to cause a drag on our performance and financial health at least until the pandemic and its economic fallout have passed.

a.Emerging Market Risks

Most of our operations are in emerging markets that may be subject to greater risks than more developed markets, including in some cases significant political, legal and economic risks.
Emerging market governments and judiciaries often exercise broad, unchecked discretion, and are susceptible to abuse and corruption and rapid reversal of political and economic policies on which we depend. Political and economic relations among the countries in which we operate are often complex and have resulted, and may in the future result, in conflicts, which could materially harm our business.
The economies of emerging markets are vulnerable to market downturns and economic slowdowns elsewhere in the world. As has happened in the past, financial problems or an increase in the perceived risks associated with investing in emerging economies could dampen foreign investment in these markets and materially adversely affect their economies.
Turnover of political leaders or parties in emerging markets as a result of a scheduled election upon the end of a term of service or in other circumstances may also affect the legal and regulatory regime in those markets to a greater extent than turnover in established countries. Some of the emerging markets in which we operate are susceptible to social unrest, which may lead to military conflict in some cases.
19



b.Strategy and strategic direction

We may not be able to successfully implement our strategic priorities.
Our strategic priorities include, among others, expansion of our high-speed data networks (4G and HFC cable), facilitation of growth in our mobile data and cable segments and implementation of technology transformation projects to improve our operating performance and efficiency. There can be no assurance that our strategy will be successfully implemented and will not cause changes in our operational efficiencies or structure. In addition, the implementation of our strategic priorities could result in increased costs, conflicts with employees, local shareholders and other stakeholders, business interruptions and difficulty in recruiting and retaining key personnel.
Lack of sufficient information or poor quality of available information regarding our industry, operations or markets may lead to missed opportunities or inefficient capital allocation.
As the factors we consider in formulating our strategy change (including information, such as customer data insights or new markets into which we may consider entering), we face the risk of not having access to sufficient industry, operational or market data inputs to properly inform our decision-making or needing to rely on poor quality information. There is also a risk that the data to which we have access will be analyzed improperly, if the relevant personnel lack appropriate experience, oversight, or relevant skill sets in data analysis, including through insufficient consideration of interrelationships of key variables such as market dynamics, trends, availability of cash and resources, agility, opportunities and risk factors affecting our business. If we are forced to make assumptions regarding key variables and are unable to consider alternatives to, and consequences of, strategic decisions on a fully informed basis, it may lead to missed opportunities or inefficient capital allocation that could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
c.Industry structure, market position and competition

We face intense competition from other larger telecommunications and cable and broadband providers.
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. Our main mobile, cable and broadband competitors include major international and regional telecommunication providers such as America Movil, Telefonica, AT&T and Liberty Latin America. Some of our competitors are state-owned entities. Many of our main competitors have substantially greater resources than we do in terms of access to capital. In some of our markets, our competitors may have access to more spectrum and provide greater or better area coverage, and they may face fewer regulatory burdens than we do.
We have a weaker market position and face a challenging competitive environment in Colombia, our largest market.
Relative to our other markets, the telecommunications sector in Colombia is characterized by having more competitors, including America Movil and Telefonica, which are larger than us, and by having more stringent regulatory conditions. Relative to our other markets, our competitive position is also weaker in Colombia, where we are the third largest mobile operator and the second largest provider of fixed services, as measured by subscribers. Additionally, Novator Partners was recently awarded mobile spectrum and has announced plans to enter the Colombian market. Given the importance of Colombia to our results, if we are unable to sustain or improve our position, this could have a material impact on our consolidated financial results.
Competition is driven by a number of factors, most notably price and increasingly customer experience.
Within our markets, operators compete for customers principally on the basis of price, promotions, services offered, advertising and brand image, quality and reliability of service, mobile coverage and overall customer experience. Price competition is especially significant on mobile services, which represented more than half of our revenue from continuing operations in 2020. Mobile voice, SMS and data are largely commoditized services, as the ability to differentiate these services among operators is limited. Competition has resulted in pricing pressure, reduced margins and profitability, increased customer churn, and in some markets, the loss of revenue and market share.
There may be more mobile operators than the market is able to sustain.
Additional licenses may be awarded in already competitive markets, and regulators may also encourage new entrants by offering them favorable conditions, such as holding spectrum auctions in which certain blocks of spectrum are reserved for new entrants, or by capping the amount of spectrum that existing players can acquire, as in Colombia's 2019 auction.
Entry by new competitors may have a significant disruptive effect on our markets.
20


New competitors may enter our markets with pricing or other product or service strategies, primarily designed to gain market share, that are significantly more competitive than our offers, leading to, for example, significant price competition and lower margins or increased churn.
In certain of our mobile markets, such as Colombia, our competitors may have a dominant market position.
Having a dominant market position may provide our competitors with various competitive advantages including from economies of scale, access to spectrum, the ability to significantly influence market dynamics and market regulation.
Our competitors may be able to provide better pay-TV services than we are able to provide.
Our pay-TV services compete with other pay-TV services that may offer a greater range of channels to a larger audience, reaching a wider area distribution (especially in rural areas) for a lower price than we charge for our pay-TV services. We also compete with satellite distribution of free-to-air television programming, which viewers can receive by purchasing a satellite dish and a set-top box without any physical cabling. Furthermore, our cable networks are subject to the risk of overbuild and our pay-TV content is subject to the possibility of wireless substitution.
Many of the mobile telecommunications markets in which we operate have high mobile penetration levels, inhibiting growth opportunities.
The markets in which we operate have mobile phone service penetration levels that typically exceed 100% of the population. Although there are some opportunities for further growth, our efforts to develop additional sources of revenue may not be successful. Therefore, high mobile penetration rates could constrain future growth and produce an intensification of pricing pressures on all of our mobile services, which could adversely affect our future profitability and return on investments.
d.Customer base and customer experience

A significant proportion of our mobile revenue is generated from prepaid customers and is short-term in nature.
Prepaid customers do not sign service contracts and are more likely than postpaid customers to switch mobile operators and take advantage of promotional offers by other operators. Many of our mobile customers also subscribe to short-term packages with lengths of one-day to one-week. As a result, we cannot be certain that prepaid customers or short-term data package customers will continue to use our services in the future. Prepaid customers represented 90% of our mobile customers as of December 31, 2020 and generated approximately 57% of our mobile service revenue and 30% of our total service revenue during 2020.
Transition to more subscription-based businesses creates new challenges.
Our transition toward an increasingly subscription-based revenue model has implications for our personnel, systems, and business procedures, as we must dedicate increasing levels of management attention and resources toward managing and mitigating risks related to accounts receivables and collections, as well as billing and customer care. If we are unable to implement and manage the information systems and to properly train our employees, we could experience elevated levels of customer churn and bad debt, which would negatively impact our financial results.
e.Political

Some of the countries in which we operate have a history of political instability.
Some of the countries in which we operate may be subject to greater political and economic risk than developed countries. Some of the countries in which we operate suffer from political instability, civil unrest, or war-like actions by anti-government insurgent groups. These problems may continue or worsen, potentially resulting in significant social unrest or civil war. For example, El Salvador and Honduras have some of the highest murder rates in the world due to violent crime, and both Nicaragua and Bolivia have recently experienced civil unrest.
Any political instability or hostilities in the markets in which we operate can hinder economic growth and reduce discretionary consumer spending on our services and may result in damage to our networks or prevent us from selling our products and services.
Current and future political or social instability may negatively affect our ability to conduct business.
We face a number of risks as a result of political and social instability in the countries in which we operate, ranging from the risk of network disruption, sometimes resulting from government requests to shut
21


down our networks as well as forced and illegal abuse of our network by political forces, to the need to evacuate some or all of our key staff from certain countries, in which case there is no guarantee that we would be able to continue to operate our business as previously conducted in such countries. Any of these events would adversely affect our results of operations.
f.Legal and regulatory

The nature of legislation and rule of law in emerging markets may affect our ability to enforce our rights under licenses or contracts or defend ourselves against claims by third parties.
The nature of much of the legislation in emerging markets, the lack of consensus about the scope, content and pace of economic and political reform and the rapid evolution of the legal systems in emerging markets, place the enforceability and, possibly, the constitutionality of, laws and regulations in doubt and result in ambiguities, inconsistencies and anomalies. These factors could affect our ability to enforce our rights under our licenses or our contracts, or to defend our company against claims by other parties.
New or proposed changes to laws or new interpretations of existing laws in the markets in which we operate may harm our business.
We are subject to a variety of national and local laws and regulations in the countries in which we do business. These laws and regulations apply to many aspects of our business. Violations of applicable laws or regulations could damage our reputation or result in regulatory or private actions with substantial penalties or damages. In addition, any significant changes in such laws or regulations or their interpretation, or the introduction of higher standards or more stringent laws or regulations, could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. For example, in Colombia in 2017, the regulator introduced caps to wholesale rates on mobile services, which forced us to lower our prices for both voice and data services, and it also cut interconnection rates. In 2016, the regulator in Paraguay required that mobile service providers extend to 90 days, from 30 days previously, the minimum expiration of prepaid mobile data allowances.
Developing legal systems in the countries in which we operate create a number of uncertainties for our businesses.
The legal systems in many of the countries in which we operate are less developed than those in more established markets. This creates uncertainties with respect to many of the legal and business decisions that we make, including, among others, potential for negative changes in laws, gaps and inconsistencies between the laws and regulatory structure, difficulties in enforcement, broad regulatory authority held by telecommunications regulators, and inconsistency and lack of transparency in the judicial interpretation of legislation and corruption in judicial or administrative processes or systems. We may not always have access to efficient avenues for appeal and may have to accept the decisions imposed upon us. For more information concerning the legal proceedings to which we are subject, see “Item 8. Financial Information—A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Legal Proceedings.”
g.Macro-economic and currency

The economies of emerging markets, including those in which we operate, are vulnerable to market downturns and economic slowdowns elsewhere in the world.
Telecommunications in emerging markets in general and in our markets in particular, account for a significant part of gross domestic product (“GDP”) and disposable income. As such, any change in economic activity level may impact our business. Furthermore, as consumers in emerging markets have relatively lower levels of disposable income, the demand for our products and services is significantly exposed to the risk of economic slowdown.
As has happened in the past, financial problems or an increase in the perceived risks associated with investing in emerging economies could dampen foreign investments in these markets and materially adversely affect their economies. An economic downturn, a substantial slowdown in economic growth or deterioration in consumer spending could have an adverse effect on the level of demand for our products and services and our growth. We are particularly susceptible to any deterioration in the economic environment of the countries in which we have our largest operations, namely Colombia, Guatemala, Paraguay, Honduras, Panama and Bolivia.
Changes in economic, political and regulatory conditions in the United States or in U.S. laws and policies governing foreign trade and foreign relations could have an impact on the economies in which we operate.
Any decision taken by the U.S. government that has an impact on the Latin American economy, such as reducing commercial activity between the countries in which we operate and the United States, limiting immigration, increasing interest rates or slowing direct foreign investments, could adversely affect the
22


disposable income of consumers. In addition, a slowdown in the U.S. economy may have an adverse impact on the level of U.S. dollar remittances that form a large part of the GDP of many of the countries in which we operate.
Fluctuations or devaluations in local currencies in the markets in which we operate against our U.S. dollar reporting as well as our ability to convert these local currencies into U.S. dollars to make payments, including on our indebtedness, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A significant amount of our costs, expenditures and liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars, including capital expenditures and borrowings. We mainly collect revenue from our customers in local currencies, and there may be limits to our ability to convert these local currencies into U.S. dollars. Local currency exchange rate fluctuations in relation to the U.S. dollar may have an adverse effect on our earnings, assets and cash flows. For example, the devaluation of the Colombian peso in the fiscal year 2020 reduced our consolidated revenue by approximately $122 million. To the extent that our operations retain earnings or distribute dividends in local currencies, the amount of U.S. dollars ultimately received by MIC S.A. is also affected by currency fluctuations.
A significant amount of our debt and long-term financial commitments are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Where possible and where financially viable, we borrow in local currency to mitigate the risk of exposure to foreign currency exchange. Our ability to reduce our foreign currency exchange exposure may be limited by a lack of long-term financing in local currency or derivative instruments in the currencies in which we operate. As such, there is a risk that we may not be able to finance local capital expenditure needs or reduce our foreign exchange exposure by borrowing in local currency. For more information, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Risk—Foreign currency risk.”
Due to the lack of available financial instruments in many of the countries or currencies in which we operate, we may not be able to hedge against foreign currency exposures.
We had net foreign exchange losses of $69 million in fiscal 2020 compared to net foreign exchange losses of $32 million in fiscal 2019 and net foreign exchange losses of $40 million in fiscal 2018. At the operational level we seek to match the currencies of our cash inflows and outflows, but while this practice reduces, it does not eliminate, our significant foreign exchange exposure to the U.S. dollar.
The governments of the countries in which our operations are located may impose foreign exchange controls that could restrict our ability to receive funds from the operations.
Substantially all our revenue is generated by our local operations, and MIC S.A. is reliant on its subsidiaries’ and joint ventures’ ability to transfer funds to it. None of the foreign exchange controls that exist in the countries in which our companies operate significantly restrict the ability of our operating companies to pay interest, dividends, technical service fees, and royalty fees or repay loans by exporting cash, instruments of credit or securities in foreign currencies. However, foreign exchange controls may be strengthened, or introduced, which could restrict MIC S.A.’s ability to receive funds.
In addition, in some countries it may be difficult to convert local currency into foreign currency due to limited liquidity in foreign exchange markets. These restrictions may constrain the frequency for possible upstreaming of cash from our subsidiaries to MIC S.A. in the future. These and any similar controls enacted in the future may cause delays in accumulating significant amounts of foreign currency, and increase foreign exchange risk, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
We are exposed to the potential impact of any alteration to, or abolition of, foreign exchange which is “pegged” at a fixed rate against the U.S. dollar.
Any “unpegging,” particularly if the currency weakens against the U.S. dollar, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Currently Bolivia operates a fixed peg to the U.S. dollar.
h.Taxation

Unpredictable tax systems give rise to significant uncertainties and risks that could complicate our tax strategy and business decisions.
The tax laws and regulations in the markets in which we operate are complex and subject to varying interpretations. The tax authorities in the markets in which we operate are often arbitrary in their interpretation of tax laws, as well as in their enforcement and tax collection activities. Our interpretations and application of the tax and regulations could differ from that of the relevant governmental taxing authority. Tax declarations are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities, which are empowered to impose fines and penalties on taxpayers, and in some cases criminal penalties on company personnel. Tax audits may result in additional costs to our group if the relevant tax authorities conclude that entities of the
23


group did not satisfy their tax obligations in any given year. Such audits may also impose additional burdens on our group by diverting the attention of management resources. The outcome of these audits could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects . We are currently addressing tax disputes with the local tax authorities in several jurisdictions, further described under “Item 8. Financial Information—A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Legal Proceedings—Tax disputes.”
Adverse decisions of tax authorities or changes in tax treaties, laws, rules or interpretations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial conditions or cash flows.
The organizational structure and business arrangements between the various legal entities in the group may give rise to taxation related risks, including relating to the pricing of services which might be challenged if not being on an arm’s-length basis.
Tax authorities could argue that some of these services are on terms more favorable than those that could be obtained from independent third parties and assess higher taxes or fines in respect of the services MIC S.A. provides.
i.Litigation and claims

Some of the litigation or claims that we face can be complex, costly, and highly disruptive to our business operations.
From time to time, in the ordinary course of our business, we are involved in legal proceedings. Some of these legal proceedings can be complex, costly, and highly disruptive to our business operations. Certain of these proceedings may be spurious in nature and may demand significant energy and attention from management and other key personnel. The assessment of the outcome of legal proceedings, including our potential liability, if any, is a highly subjective process that requires judgments about future events that are not within our control. The amounts ultimately received or paid upon settlement or pursuant to final judgment, order or decree may differ materially from amounts accrued in our financial statements. In addition, litigation or similar proceedings could impose restraints on our current or future manner of doing business.
j.Business conduct

We may not be able to fully mitigate the risk of inappropriate conduct by our employees, business partners and counterparties.
Millicom’s employees interact with customers, contractors, suppliers and counterparties, and with each other, every day. All employees are expected to respect and abide by the Company's values and Code of Conduct, commonly referred to as the “Sangre Tigo” culture. While Millicom takes numerous steps to prevent and detect inappropriate conduct by employees, contractors and suppliers that could potentially harm the Company's reputation, customers, or investors, such behavior may not always be detected, deterred or prevented. The consequences of any failure by employees to act consistently with the “Sangre Tigo” expectations could include litigation, regulatory or other governmental investigations or enforcement actions.
We are subject to anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws.
We are subject to a number of anti-corruption laws in the countries in which we operate and are located, in addition to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) in the United States and the Bribery Act in the United Kingdom. Our failure to comply with anticorruption laws applicable to us could result in penalties, which could harm our reputation and harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects. The FCPA generally prohibits covered companies, their officers, directors and employees and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business and/or other benefits. We operate in countries which pose elevated risks of corruption violations. For example, between 2017 and 2019, the Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala (“CICIG”) and Guatemalan prosecutors pursued investigations that have included the country's telecommunications sector and Comcel, our Guatemalan joint venture, and it is possible that new investigations could arise given the strong anti-corruption efforts in the country. If we are not in compliance with anti-corruption laws and other laws governing the conduct of business with government entities and/or officials (including local laws), we may be subject to criminal and civil penalties and other remedial measures. Investigations of any actual or alleged violations of such laws or policies related to us could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.
Our anti-corruption policies, procedures and internal controls may not be effective in complying with anti-corruption laws.
24


We regularly review and update our policies, procedures and internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that we, our employees, joint ventures, distributors and other intermediaries comply with the anti-corruption laws to which we are subject. However, anti-corruption policies, procedures and internal controls are not always effective against this risk. We cannot assure you that such policies or procedures or internal controls work effectively at all times or protect us against liability under these or other laws for actions taken by our employees, joint ventures, distributors and other intermediaries with respect to our business or any businesses that we may acquire.
Our Mobile Financial Services (“MFS”) service is complex and increases our exposure to fraud and money laundering.
Our MFS product has been developed through different distribution channels and we could be responsible, and we may be liable, for online fraud and problems related to inadequately securing our payment systems. These services involve cash handling, exposing us to risk of fraud and money laundering. We must also keep our customers’ MFS cash in local currency demand deposits in local banks in each market and ensure customers’ access to MFS cash, exposing us to local banking risk.
    Anti-money laundering laws are often complex. We endeavor to conform to the highest standards but cannot be certain that we will be able to fully meet all applicable legal and regulatory requirements at all times.
We may incur significant costs from fraud, which could adversely affect us.
Our high profile and the nature of the products and services that we offer make us a target for fraud. Many of the markets in which we operate lack fully developed legal and regulatory frameworks and have low conviction rates for fraudulent activities, decreasing deterrence for such schemes. We have been in the past and may in the future be susceptible to fraudulent activity by our employees or third-party contractors despite having robust internal control systems in place across our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We also incur costs and revenue losses associated with the unauthorized or unintended use of our networks, including administrative and capital costs associated with the unpaid use of our networks as well as with detecting, monitoring and reducing incidences of fraud. Fraud also impacts interconnection costs, capacity costs, administrative costs and payments to other carriers for unbillable fraudulent roaming charges. In 2020, our most significant impact from fraudulent activity was caused by International Bypass whereby international calls intended to a Tigo subscriber are terminated through an unauthorized channel. Any continued or new fraudulent schemes could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our risk management and internal controls may not prevent or detect fraud, violations of law or other inappropriate conduct.
If any of our customers, suppliers, or other business partners receive or grant inappropriate benefits or use corrupt, fraudulent or other unfair business practices, we could be subject to legal sanctions, penalties and harm to our reputation. Given our international operations, group structure, and size, our internal controls, policies and our risk management practices may not be adequate in preventing, detecting or responding to any such incidents which could have a material negative impact on our reputation, business activities, financial position and results of operations.
We may be directly or indirectly affected by U.S. or other international sanctions laws, which may place restrictions on our ability to interact with business partners or government officials.
    We operate in certain countries in which international sanctions may be imposed by the U.S. or Europe and we may be required to comply with such sanctions.  Such sanctions may restrict our ability to implement our strategy or conduct our business in the manner in which we expect. For example, in Nicaragua, several government officials and other key actors are currently included on the Specially Designated Nationalities list of the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control.

k.People, health and safety

Threats to the safety of our employees or contractors could affect our ability to provide our services.
Heightened states of danger may exist in certain of the countries in which we operate, including as a result of civil unrest, criminal activity, and the threat of natural or manmade disasters. Such events can pose significant risks to the health and safety of our employees and contractors and may impede or delay our ability to provide service to our customers or potential customers. In those locations, we may incur additional costs to maintain the safety of our personnel, customers, suppliers, and contractors. Despite the precautions,
25


the safety of our personnel, customers, suppliers, and contractors in these locations may continue to be at risk.
Enforcement of standards of safety and the promotion of a culture of safety may not prevent the frequency or severity of health and safety incidents.
Although we implement and provide training on health and safety matters, particularly related to the risks of working on telecommunications towers or on TV poles, there is no guarantee that our employees or our contractors will comply with applicable safety standards. If we fail to implement these procedures or if the procedures we implement are ineffective, we may suffer the loss of, or injury, to our employees or contractors, as well as expose ourselves to possible litigation and reputational harm.
Allegations of health risks related to the use of mobile telecommunication devices and base stations could harm our business.
There have been allegations that the use of certain mobile telecommunication devices and equipment may cause serious health risks. The actual or perceived health risks of mobile devices or equipment could diminish customer growth, reduce network usage per customer, spark product liability lawsuits or limit available financing. In addition, the actual or perceived health risks may result in increased regulation of network equipment and restrictions on the construction of towers or other infrastructure. Each of these possibilities has the potential to seriously harm our business.
l.Brand and reputation

Failing to maintain our intellectual property rights and the reputation of our brands would adversely affect our business.
Our intellectual property rights, including our key trademarks and domain names, including our Tigo, UNE and Cable Onda brand names, which are well known in the markets in which we operate, are extremely important assets and contribute to our success in our markets. If we are unable to maintain the reputation of and value associated with them, we may not be able to successfully retain and attract customers. Furthermore, our reputation may be harmed if any of the risks described in this “Risk Factors” section materialize. Any damage to our reputation or to the value associated with our Tigo, UNE or Cable Onda brands could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Impairment of our intellectual property rights would adversely affect our business.
We rely upon a combination of trademark and copyright laws, database protections and contractual arrangements, where appropriate, to establish and protect our intellectual property rights. However, intellectual property rights are especially difficult to protect in many of the markets in which we operate. In these markets, the regulatory agencies charged to protect intellectual property rights are inadequately funded, legislation is underdeveloped, piracy is commonplace, and enforcement of court decisions is difficult. The diversion of our management's time and resources along with potentially significant expenses that could be involved in protecting our intellectual property rights in our markets, or losing any intellectual property rights, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
m.Workforce

A significant portion of our workforce is represented by labor unions, and we could incur additional costs or experience work stoppages as a result of the renegotiations of our labor contracts.
On average during 2020, approximately 17% of our of our employees (including 41% of our direct workforce in Colombia and 80% of our direct workforce in Panama) participated in collective employment agreements. While we have collective bargaining agreements in place, with subsequent negotiations we could incur significant additional labor costs and/or experience work stoppages which could adversely affect our business operations. In addition, we cannot predict what level of success labor unions or other groups representing employees may have in further organizing our workforce or the potentially negative impact it would have on our operations. Furthermore, our strategic objectives may include divestitures of certain business lines, internal restructuring and other activities that impact employees. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain a good relationship with our labor unions and works council. Any deterioration in our relationship with our unions and works council could result in work stoppages, strikes or threats to take such an action, which could disrupt our business and operations materially and adversely affect the quality of our services and harm our reputation.
26



3.Risks related to Millicom’s size and structure and leadership

a.Size - capacity and limitations

The amount, structure and obligations connected with our debt could impair our liquidity and our ability to expand or finance our future operations.
As of December 31, 2020, our consolidated indebtedness excluding lease liabilities was $5,691 million, of which MIC S.A. incurred $2,504 million directly, and MIC S.A. guaranteed $287 million of indebtedness incurred by its subsidiaries. Including lease liabilities, our consolidated indebtedness was $6,711 million. In addition, at December 31, 2020 our joint ventures in Guatemala and Honduras, which are non-recourse to MIC S.A.. had $750 million of debt and lease liabilities of $292 million.
We may incur additional debt in the future. Although certain of our outstanding debt instruments contain restrictions on the incurring of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of significant qualifications and exceptions and, under certain circumstances, the amount of indebtedness that could be incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. The acquisition of additional debt could, among other things, require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to payments on our debt, place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors who might have less debt, restrict us from pursuing strategic acquisitions or reduce our ability to pay dividends and prevent us from complying with our dividend policy.
We have incurred and assumed, and expect to incur and assume, additional indebtedness in connection with recent acquisitions.
We funded our recent acquisitions in Panama and Nicaragua mainly by incurring additional indebtedness, including through the issuance of a $750 million 6.25% bond on March 25 2019, and the issuance by Cable Onda S.A. ("Cable Onda") of a $600 million 4.5% bond in November 2019.
Our increased indebtedness following consummation of these or other acquisitions could have the effect, among other things, of reducing our flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions as well as reducing funds available for capital expenditures, acquisitions, and creating competitive disadvantages for us relative to other companies with lower indebtedness levels.
b.Portfolio of operations

Most of our operations are in emerging markets and may be subject to greater risks than similar businesses in more developed markets.
Investors in emerging markets should be aware that these markets are subject to greater risks than more developed markets, including in some cases significant political, legal and economic risks. Investors should fully consider the significance of the risks involved in investing in a company with significant operations in emerging markets and are urged to consult with their own legal, financial and tax advisors.
We may pursue acquisitions, investments or merger opportunities, or divestitures of existing operations, which may subject us to significant risks and there is no assurance that we will be successful or that we will derive the expected benefits from these transactions.
We may pursue acquisitions of, investments in or mergers with businesses, technologies, services and/or products that complement or expand our business. Some of these potential transactions could be significant relative to the size of our business and operations. Any such transaction would involve a number of risks and could present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including: diverting management attention from running our existing business or from other viable acquisition or investment opportunities; incurring significant transaction expenses; increased costs to integrate financial and operational reporting systems, technology, personnel, customer base and business practices of the businesses involved in any such transaction with our business; not being able to integrate our businesses in a timely fashion or at all; potential exposure to material liabilities not discovered in the due diligence process or as a result of any litigation arising in connection with any such transaction; and failure to retain key management and other critical employees.
Moreover, we may not be able to successfully complete acquisitions, in light of challenges such as strong competition from our competitors and other prospective acquirers who may have substantially greater resources than we do in terms of access to capital and may be able to pay more than we can with respect to merger or acquisition opportunities, and regulatory approvals required.
Divestiture of assets and businesses may not realize expected benefits.
27


We may seek to divest existing operations and/or investments. Any such divestiture could involve a number of risks and could present financial, managerial and operational challenges including: diverting management attention from running our existing business or from pursuing other strategic opportunities; incurring significant transaction expenses; maintaining certain liabilities or obligations to indemnify the buyer of the divested business as part of the sale conditions; and the possibility of failing to properly manage or time the exit to achieve an optimal return.
Furthermore, the timing of exit from the divestiture of assets and businesses may not result in optimal returns, and the amount and timing of proceeds may be lower than our initial investment, and or lower the corresponding carrying value on our balance sheet.
Our ability to make significant decisions in certain of our operations may depend in part upon the consent of independent shareholders.
We have local shareholders in our operations in various markets, including subsidiaries that are fully controlled (e.g., in Colombia, Panama and Tanzania) as well as joint-ventures with local entities in which we exercise joint-control (e.g., in Guatemala and Honduras). In these operations, our ability to make significant strategic decisions or to receive dividends or other distributions may depend in part upon the consent of independent shareholders, and our operations may be negatively affected in the event of disagreements with or breaches by our partners.
Millicom's central functions provide essential support and services to our operating subsidiaries and joint ventures.
These services include, financing, procurement, technical and management services, business support services (including a shared services center in El Salvador), digital transformation, customer experience, procurement, human resources, legal, information technology, marketing services and advisory services related to the construction, installation, operation, management and maintenance of its networks. If Millicom's central functions were unable to provide these services to our operating subsidiaries and joint ventures on a timely basis and at a level that meets our needs, our operating subsidiaries and joint ventures may be disrupted.
The majority of Millicom's operating subsidiaries and joint ventures operate under the Tigo trademark.
We take efforts to protect the Tigo trademark, but we may not always succeed in preventing others from using the trademark in countries in which we do not operate or from using similar trademarks, which could dilute the value of our trademark and result in brand confusion to consumers. The Tigo trademark could also be the subject of intellectual property infringement. Trademark protection is important because our trademark is what helps our customers differentiate our products and services from those of our competition, helps build brand loyalty, and represents our goodwill and reputation.
c.Talent acquisition and retention

    We may be unable to obtain or retain adequate managerial and operational resources.

Our operating results depend, in significant part, upon the continued contributions and capacity of key senior management and technical personnel. Certain key employees possess substantial knowledge of our business and operations. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in retaining their services or that we would be successful in hiring and training suitable replacements without undue costs or delays.
Competition for personnel in our markets and certain central functions is intense due to scarcity of qualified individuals.
Millicom has been working with its local teams to build and implement talent development plans and to identify high performance individuals for future advancement or hiring, as the markets in which we operate have limited availability of talent with advanced skill sets in key areas such as the digital and technology fields. We have taken steps to reinforce our digital capabilities with an aggressive hiring plan to obtain the right personnel with the relevant competencies for the new businesses and services we launch. We cannot assure you, however, that we will be successful in these efforts.
d.Financing and cash flow generation

MIC S.A. is a holding company and is dependent on cash flow from its operating subsidiaries and joint ventures.
MIC S.A.’s primary assets consist of shares in its subsidiaries and joint ventures and cash in its bank accounts. MIC S.A. has no significant revenue generating operations of its own, and therefore its cash flow and ability to service its indebtedness and pay dividends to its shareholders will depend primarily on the
28


operating performance and financial condition of its subsidiaries and joint ventures and its receipt of funds in the form of dividends or otherwise.
There are legal limits on dividends that some of MIC S.A.’s subsidiaries and joint ventures are permitted to pay. Further, some of our indebtedness imposes restrictions on dividends and other restricted payments, which are described under “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing.”
Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control and we may need to resort to additional external financing.
Our ability to generate cash is dependent on our future operating and financial performance. This will be impacted by our ability to successfully implement our business strategy, as well as general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory, and technical elements and other factors beyond our control. If we cannot generate sufficient cash, we may, among other things, need to refinance all or a portion of our debt, obtain additional financing, delay capital expenditure or sell assets.
We require a significant amount of capital to operate and grow our business. We fund our capital needs in part through borrowings in the public and private credit markets. Adverse changes in the credit markets, including increases in interest rates, could increase our cost of borrowing and/or make it more difficult for us to obtain financing for our operations or refinance existing indebtedness. In addition, our borrowing costs can be affected by short- and long-term debt ratings assigned by independent rating agencies, which are based, in significant part, on our performance as measured by customary credit metrics. A decrease in these ratings would likely increase our cost of borrowing and/or make it more difficult for us to obtain financing. A severe disruption in the global financial markets could impact some of the financial institutions with which we do business, and such instability could also affect our access to financing.
In particular, periods of industry consolidation require businesses to raise debt and equity capital to remain competitive. An inability to access capital during such periods could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
The cash flow we generate is highly dependent on the dividends we receive from our joint ventures in Guatemala and Honduras.
Our joint ventures in Guatemala and Honduras have historically generated healthy cash flows and paid dividends. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Millicom Group received dividends from these joint ventures totaling $71 million, representing our share of the total dividends paid by our joint ventures; and the Millicom Group did not pay any dividends to its own shareholders during the same year. If the financial condition of these joint ventures deteriorates or if they choose to reduce future dividend payments,or if we fail to diversify our sources of cash flow, our liquidity could suffer.
Our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders or otherwise remunerate shareholders is subject to our distributable reserves and solvency requirements.
Any determination to pay dividends or otherwise remunerate shareholders in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors (as to interim dividends) and at the discretion of the shareholders at the annual general meeting (the "Annual General Meeting") upon recommendation of the board of directors (as to annual dividends or share repurchases) and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, distributable reserves, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board of directors and the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, respectively, deem relevant.
We are not required to pay dividends on our common shares or otherwise remunerate shareholders and holders of our common shares have no recourse if dividends are not declared. Our ability to pay dividends or otherwise remunerate shareholders may be further restricted by the terms of any of our existing and future debt or preferred securities. Additionally, because we are a holding company, our ability to pay dividends on our common shares is limited by restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make distributions to us, including restrictions on our ability to repatriate funds and under the terms of the agreements governing our indebtedness.
4.Risks related to share ownership, governance practices and registration with the SEC

a.Share price, trading volume and market volatility

The price of our common shares might fluctuate significantly, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
29


Volatility in the market price of our common shares may prevent you from being able to sell our common shares at or above the price at which you purchased such shares. The trading price of our common shares may be volatile and subject to wide price fluctuations in response to various factors, including:
market conditions in the broader stock market in general, or in our industry in particular;
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial and operating results;
introduction of new products and services by us or our competitors;
entry to new markets or exit from existing markets;
issuance of new or changed securities analysts’ reports or recommendations;
sales of large blocks of our shares;
additions or departures of key personnel;
regulatory developments; and
litigation and governmental investigations or actions.

These and other factors may cause the market price and demand for our common shares to fluctuate substantially, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling common shares and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common shares.
In addition, in the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have often instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. If any of our shareholders brought a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management from our business.
An active trading market that will provide you with adequate liquidity may not develop.
As of December 31, 2020, approximately 91% of our issued and outstanding shares were in the form of Swedish Depository Receipts (“SDRs”) listed on the NASDAQ exchange in Stockholm. We cannot predict the extent to which investors will convert SDRs into common shares or whether the relisting of our common shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market on January 9, 2019 will lead to the development of an active trading market in the U.S. or how liquid that market might become. If an active trading market does not develop in the U.S., you may have difficulty selling the common shares that you purchase, and the value of such shares might be materially impaired.
Future sales of our common shares, or the perception in the public markets that these sales may occur, may depress our share price and future sales of our common shares may be dilutive.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the price of our common shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of shares. In the future, we may issue our shares, among other reasons, if we need to raise capital or in connection with merger or acquisition activity. The amount of our common shares issued in connection with a capital raise or acquisition could constitute a material portion of our then-outstanding share capital. Sales of shares in the future may be at prices below prevailing market prices, thereby having a dilutive impact on existing holders and depressing the trading price of our common stock.
If securities or industry analysts in the United States do not publish research or reports or publish unfavorable research about our business, the price and trading volume of our common shares could decline.
The trading market for our common shares in the United States will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us, our business or our industry. We may not have significant research coverage by securities and industry analysts in the United States. If no additional securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, or if we fail to adequately engage with analysts or the investor community, the trading price for our shares could be negatively affected. In the event we obtain additional securities or industry analyst coverage in the United States, if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our common shares, their price will likely decline. If one or more of these analysts, or those who currently cover us, ceases to cover us or fails to publish regular reports on us, interest in the purchase of our shares could decrease, which could cause the price or trading volume of our common shares to decline.
b.Legal and regulatory compliance and burden

The obligations associated with being a public company in the United States require significant resources and management attention.
As a public company in the United States, we incur legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not previously incur. We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market and other applicable securities rules and regulations. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual and
30


current reports with respect to our business, financial condition and results of operations. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we establish and maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.
Furthermore, the need to establish and maintain the corporate infrastructure demanded of a U.S. public company may divert management’s attention from implementing our strategy. We have made, and will continue to make, changes to our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and accounting systems in order to meet our reporting obligations as a U.S. public company. However, the measures we take may not be sufficient to satisfy these obligations. In addition, compliance with these rules and regulations has increased our legal and financial compliance costs and has made some activities more time-consuming. For example, these rules and regulations make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance.
In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for U.S. public companies. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us.
We are a foreign private issuer and, as a result, are not subject to U.S. proxy rules but are subject to Exchange Act reporting obligations that, to some extent, are more lenient and less frequent than those of a U.S. issuer.
We report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with “foreign private issuer” status, as such term is defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act. Because we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act and although we follow Luxembourg laws and regulations with regard to such matters, we are exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. public companies, including:
(i)the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;
(ii)the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and
(iii)the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, or current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events.

Foreign private issuers are required to file their annual report on Form 20-F by 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, while U.S. domestic issuers that are accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 75 days after the end of each fiscal year. Foreign private issuers are also exempt from the Regulation Fair Disclosure, aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information. As a result of the above, even though we are contractually obligated and intend to make interim reports available to our stockholders, copies of which we are required to furnish to the SEC on a Form 6-K, and even though we are required to file reports on Form 6-K disclosing whatever information we have made or are required to make public pursuant to Luxembourg law or distribute to our stockholders and that is material to our company, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are not foreign private issuers.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, and investor confidence in our company and the market price of our shares may be adversely affected.
    We are subject to reporting obligations under the U.S. securities laws. The SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, adopted rules requiring every public company to include in its annual report a management report on such company’s internal control over financial reporting containing management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. In addition, an independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of such company’s internal control over financial reporting except where the company is a non-accelerated filer. We currently are a large accelerated filer.
    Our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020. See “Item 15. Disclosure Controls and Procedures.” Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report as of December 31, 2020. See “Item 15. Controls and Procedures-C. Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.” However, if we fail to
31


maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, our management and our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to conclude that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If we fail to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, we could suffer material misstatements in our financial statements and fail to meet our reporting obligations, which would likely cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. This could in turn limit our access to capital markets, harm our results of operations, and lead to a decline in the trading price of our shares. Additionally, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose us to increased risk of fraud or misuse of corporate assets and subject us to potential delisting from the stock exchange on which we list, regulatory investigations and civil or criminal sanctions. Furthermore, we have incurred and anticipate that we will continue to incur considerable costs, management time and other resources in an effort to continue to comply with Section 404 and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
We may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses.
As a foreign private issuer, we are not required to comply with the same periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and related rules and regulations, that apply to U.S. domestic issuers. Under Rule 3b-4 of the Exchange Act, the determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter and, accordingly, we will make the next determination with respect to our foreign private issuer status based on information as of June 30, 2021.
In the future, we could lose our foreign private issuer status if, for example, a majority of our voting power were held by U.S. citizens or residents and we fail to meet additional requirements necessary to avoid loss of foreign private issuer status. The regulatory and compliance costs to us under U.S. securities laws as a domestic issuer may be significantly higher.
If we are not a foreign private issuer, we will be required to file periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. We will also be required to comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and our officers, directors and controlling shareholders will become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. We may also be required to modify certain of our policies to comply with good governance practices associated with U.S. domestic issuers. Such conversion and modifications will involve additional costs. In addition, we may lose our ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements on U.S. stock exchanges that are available to foreign private issuers.
c.Shareholder protection

MIC S.A. is incorporated in Luxembourg, and Luxembourg law differs from U.S. law and may afford less protection to holders of our shares.
The Company is incorporated under and subject to Luxembourg laws. Luxembourg laws may differ in some material respects from laws generally applicable to U.S. corporations and shareholders, including the provisions relating to interested directors, mergers, sales, amalgamations and acquisitions, takeovers, shareholder lawsuits and indemnification of directors. Luxembourg laws governing the shares of Luxembourg companies may not be as extensive as those in effect in the United States, and Luxembourg law and regulations in respect of corporate governance matters might not be as protective of shareholders as state corporation laws in the United States. Therefore, our shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in connection with actions taken by our directors and officers or our principal shareholders than they would as shareholders of a corporation incorporated in the United States. For example, neither our Amended and Restated Articles of Association nor Luxembourg law provides for appraisal rights for dissenting shareholders in certain extraordinary corporate transactions that may otherwise be available to shareholders under certain U.S. state laws.
In addition, under Luxembourg law, by contrast to the laws generally applicable to U.S. corporations, the duties of directors of a company are in principle owed to the company only, rather than to its shareholders. It is possible that a company may have interests that are different from the interests of its shareholders. Shareholders of Luxembourg companies generally do not have rights to take action themselves against directors or officers of the company. Directors or officers of a Luxembourg company must, in exercising their powers and performing their duties, act in good faith and in the interests of the company as a whole and must exercise due care, skill and diligence.
Directors have a duty to disclose any personal interest in any contract or arrangement with the company in case such interest would constitute a conflict of interest. If any director has a direct or indirect financial interest in a matter which has to be considered by the board of directors which conflicts with the interests of the company, Luxembourg law provides that such director will not be entitled to take part in the
32


relevant deliberations or exercise his vote with respect to the approval of such transaction. If the interest of such director does not conflict with the interests of the company, then the applicable director with such interest may participate in deliberations on, and vote on the approval of, that transaction. If a director of a Luxembourg company is found to have breached his or her duties to that company, he or she may be held personally liable to the company in respect of that breach of duty. A director may, in addition, be jointly and severally liable with other directors implicated in the same breach of duty.
The ability of investors to enforce civil liabilities under U.S. securities laws may be limited.
MIC S.A. is a Luxembourg public limited liability company (société anonyme) and some of its directors and executive officers are residents of countries other than the United States. Most of the Company’s assets and the assets of some of its directors and executive officers are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors in our securities to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or the Company or to enforce in U.S. courts or outside the United States judgments obtained against such persons or the Company. In addition, it may be difficult for investors to enforce, in original actions brought in courts in jurisdictions located outside the United States, liabilities predicated upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws.
We have been advised by our Luxembourg counsel, Hogan Lovells (Luxembourg) LLP that the United States and Luxembourg do not have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. Therefore, a judgment for the payment of money rendered by a U.S. federal or state court will only be recognized and enforced against MIC S.A. by a court in Luxembourg without re-examination of the merits of the case if it is a final judgment which is not subject to appeal or any other means of contestation, and if it complies with the applicable enforcement procedure (exequatur) conditions. As set out in the relevant provisions of the Luxembourg New Code of Civil Procedure (Nouveau Code de Procédure Civile) and Luxembourg case law, these conditions are:
(i)the foreign court awarding the international judgment has jurisdiction to adjudicate the respective matter under applicable foreign rules of the forum, and such jurisdiction is recognized by Luxembourg private international law;
(ii)the foreign judgment is enforceable in the foreign jurisdiction;
(iii)the foreign court has applied the substantive law as designated by the Luxembourg conflict of laws rules, or, at least, the order must not contravene the principles underlying these rules (however, based on case law (T.A. Luxembourg, 10 January 2008, no 111736) as well as legal doctrine, it is not certain that this condition would still be required for an exequatur to be granted by a Luxembourg court);
(iv)the foreign court has acted in accordance with its own procedural laws;
(v)the judgment was granted following proceedings where the counterparty had the opportunity to appear, and if appeared, to present a defense; and
(vi)the foreign judgment does not contravene international public policy (ordre public international) as understood under the laws of Luxembourg.

d.Corporate governance practices

As a foreign private issuer and as permitted by the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), we may rely on certain home country governance practices rather than the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.
As are a foreign private issuer and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3), we may comply with home country governance requirements and certain exemptions thereunder rather than complying with certain of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq. For more information regarding the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements in lieu of which we follow home country corporate governance practices, see “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—C. Board Practices—NASDAQ corporate governance exemptions.”
Luxembourg law does not require that a majority of our board of directors consists of independent directors. While we currently have a board of directors that is independent of the Company (i.e., the board members are not members of management or employees of the Company), our board of directors may in the future include fewer independent directors than would be required if we were subject to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1). In addition, we are not subject to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(2), which requires that independent directors regularly have scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.
Similarly, we have adopted a compensation committee, but Luxembourg law does not require that we adopt a compensation committee or that such committee be fully independent. As a result, our practice may vary from the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(d), which sets forth certain requirements as to the responsibilities, composition and independence of compensation committees. Luxembourg law does not require that we disclose information regarding third-party compensation of our directors or director
33


nominees. As a result, our practice varies from the third-party compensation disclosure requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(b)(3).
In addition, as permitted by home country practice and as included in our amended and restated articles of association, our nomination committee is appointed by the major shareholders of MIC S.A. and is not a committee of the MIC S.A. board of directors. Our practice therefore may vary from the independent director oversight of director nominations requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(e).
Furthermore, our amended and restated articles of association do not provide any quorum requirement that is generally applicable to general meetings of our shareholders (other than in respect of general meetings convened for the first time in relation to amendments to the amended and restated articles of association). This absence of a quorum requirement is in accordance with Luxembourg law and generally accepted business practice in Luxembourg. This practice differs from the requirement of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(c), which requires an issuer to provide in its bylaws for a generally applicable quorum, and that such quorum may not be less than one-third of the outstanding voting stock. In addition, we may opt out of shareholder approval requirements for the issuance of securities in connection with certain events such as the acquisition of stock or assets of another company, the establishment of or amendments to equity-based compensation plans for employees, a change of control of us and certain private placements. To this extent, our practice will vary from the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, which generally requires an issuer to obtain shareholder approval for the issuance of securities in connection with such events.

B.    Business Overview
Introduction
We are a leading provider of cable and mobile services dedicated to emerging markets. Through our main brands Tigo and Tigo Business™, we provide a wide range of digital services in nine countries in Latin America and two countries in Africa, including high-speed data, cable TV, direct-to-home satellite TV (“DTH” and when we refer to DTH together with cable TV, we use the term “pay-TV”), mobile voice, mobile data, SMS, MFS, fixed voice, and business solutions including value-added services (“VAS”). We provide services on both a business-to-consumer (“B2C”) and a business-to-business (“B2B”) basis, and we have used the Tigo brand in all our markets since 2004.
We offer the following principal categories of services:
Mobile, including mobile data, mobile voice, and MFS to consumer, business and government customers;
Cable and other fixed services, including broadband, pay-TV, content, and fixed voice services for residential (Home) customers, as well as voice, data and VAS and solutions to business and government customers.
In Latin America, our principal region, we provide both mobile and cable services in eight countries - Bolivia, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama and Paraguay. In addition, we provide cable services in Costa Rica. In Africa, we provide mobile services in Tanzania, and our joint venture with Bharti Airtel provides mobile services in Ghana. In 2018, we completed the divestiture of our operations in Rwanda and Senegal and in 2019 we completed the sale of our operations in Chad. These divestitures are part of a broader effort by us in recent years to improve our financial performance and better invest capital, including by selling underperforming businesses in our Africa segment, which has historically produced lower returns on capital than our Latin America segment.
We conduct our operations through local holding and operating entities in various countries, which are either our subsidiaries (in which we are the sole shareholder or the controlling shareholder) or joint ventures with our local partners. For further details, see note A to our consolidated financial statements. In this Annual Report, our description of our operations includes the operations of all of these subsidiaries and joint ventures.
As of December 31, 2020, we provided services to 38.8 million mobile customers, including 13.0 million 4G customers, which we define as customers who have a data plan and use a smartphone to access our 4G network. As of that date, we also had 3.8 million customer relationships with a subscription to at least one of our fixed services. This includes 3.2 million customer relationships on our HFC networks and 0.3 million DTH subscribers. The majority of the remaining customer relationships are served by our legacy copper network.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, our revenue was $4,171 million and our net loss was $385 million. We had approximately 21,000 employees located in Latin America and Africa, including our Guatemala and Honduras joint ventures.
Our strategy
Underpinning our strategy is management’s assessment that penetration rates for both mobile and fixed broadband services in our markets are low relative to penetration rates in other markets globally, and that these have potential to increase over time. Based on our own subscriber data and based also on data from the GSMA for Costa Rica, an association representing mobile operators worldwide, mobile broadband penetration rates, as measured by the number of subscribers who use a smartphone to access mobile data services on 4G networks, were approximately 30% in Nicaragua, 47% in El Salvador, 46% in Honduras, 40% in Guatemala, 40% in Colombia, 51% in Paraguay, 51% in Panama and 62% in Bolivia as of year-end 2020. Based on our own customer data and market intelligence, fixed broadband penetration rates, as measured by the number of residential broadband customers as a percentage of households in the country, ranged from approximately 10% in Honduras to approximately 50% in Costa Rica. Pay TV penetration rates, as measured by the number of Pay TV customers as a percentage of households in the country, ranged from approximately 20% in Honduras to less than 60% in Costa Rica. Based on the expectation that mobile and fixed broadband penetration rates in our markets will gradually rise over time, management has defined an operational strategy based on the following four principal pillars.
Monetize Data
Our mobile networks continue to experience rapid data traffic growth, and we are very focused on making sure that incremental traffic translates into additional revenues. Our mobile data monetization strategy is built around several key drivers:
•    4G/LTE network expansion: Our 4G networks enable us to deliver high volumes of data at faster speeds in a more cost-efficient manner than with 3G networks. As of December 31, 2020, our 4G networks covered approximately 76% of the population in our markets, a significant increase from coverage of approximately 56% as of December 31, 2017.
•    Smartphone adoption: More data-capable smartphone devices, particularly 4G/LTE, with a strong device portfolio and strategy to enable our customers to use data services on the move.
35


•    Stimulating data usage: More compelling data-centric products and services to encourage our consumers to consume more data, while maintaining price discipline.
Build Cable
We are moving quickly to meet the growing demand for high-speed data from residential and business customers alike in our Latin American markets. We are doing this by:
•    Accelerating our hybrid fiber-coaxial (“HFC”) network expansion: We are rapidly deploying our high-speed HFC fixed network, and we are complementing our organic network build-out with small, targeted acquisitions. In 2017, 2018 and 2019, we significantly increased the pace of our network expansion, organically adding approximately 1 million homes-passed per year. In 2020, we continued to expand our network, passing an additional 428 thousand homes.
•    Increasing our commercial efforts to fill the HFC network: As we expand the network, we also deploy commercial resources necessary to begin monetizing our investment by marketing our services to new potential customers. In addition, the HFC network allows us to sell additional services to existing customers that drive ARPU growth over time.
•    Product innovation: We drive customer adoption by expanding our range of digital services and aggregating third-party content, as well as some exclusive local and international content, enabling us to differentiate ourselves from our competitors. For example, we have agreements with local soccer teams, leagues and sports channels in Bolivia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay and Panama to air matches exclusively on our pay-TV channels. We are committed to bringing the best content to our customers, and for that we partner with various players in the ecosystem, from studios to Over-the-Top providers (“OTTs”) and sports industry players.
Our cable network deployment is also critical to help prepare the company for convergence of fixed and mobile networks and services, a trend we expect will accelerate with the deployment of 5G technology in the future.
Drive convergence
Millicom has evolved from a traditional mobile operator to a provider of a comprehensive range of services through fixed line, mobile and MFS platforms.
Convergence allows us to leverage our existing tangible and intangible assets, such as our network, our brand, and our local talent and market knowledge, to capture business synergies, generate new revenue streams from existing customers, attract new customers and reduce overall churn. Our focus on convergence also reflects our expectation that future network deployments, such as 5G, will require significant fiber network capacity and capillarity, as well as the spectrum, radio and other components of today's mobile network.
Accelerate B2B
The expansion of our HFC network as well as the development of state-of-the-art data centers, analytics, Cloud and Cybersecurity services is also creating new opportunities for us to target business customers by offering a more complete suite of Information and Communications Technology (“ICT”) services. As of December 31, 2020, we had a total of 12 data centers across our Latin America footprint, including 8 data centers which are certified according international standards.
Our strategy is to selectively evolve our portfolio into ICT-managed services to avoid excessive fragmentation and operational risk, while building the Tigo Business brand and differentiating ourselves through our service model and frontline execution. We believe that the small and medium-size business (“SMB”) segment represents a particularly attractive opportunity for growth, as SMBs digitize their business and operations using digital communications, and implement Cloud and data center solutions in line with what we see in more developed markets.
Go Digital
We are focusing our digital innovation on products and customer-facing developments that drive user adoption of high-speed data services such as: Tigo Shop, Mi Tigo, Tigo Play and Tigo ONEtv.
Through Tigo ONEtv, our next-generation user experience platform, we bring a cutting-edge pay-TV entertainment experience for our customers, with advanced personalization and recommendations, seamless integration of content across linear and on-demand offerings, and robust multiscreen capabilities. We also provide a superior digital user experience through our Tigo Shop App for prepaid customers, Mi Tigo App for post-paid customers, and our Tigo Money app for mobile financial services. Our focus remains firmly set on driving the adoption and enjoyment of these digital channels by our customers.
We are evolving our strong commercial distribution network to operate digitally, which we believe will improve both customer experience and operational efficiency. To enable a seamless and integrated experience across sales and care touchpoints, we are implementing a business transformation that interlinks user experience, digital innovation, business processes, and our back-end ICT systems.

Best customer experience
We are committed to providing the best customer service and experience possible in all of our markets. We have placed customer experience at the center of our decision-making as we continue to innovate across business lines and countries. Our focus has been simplifying how customers interact with us by implementing integrated, digital-first customer service channels.
To ensure we continue to improve our service quality, and being mindful of evolving customer demands, we use a variety of tools including customer engagement, local and regional trends, and consumption patterns to identify and improve access channels.
We have also adopted and deployed a net promoter score (“NPS”) program, designed to strengthen our customer-centric culture, and NPS is one of the metrics used to measure management performance under our incentive compensation plan.
Our services
Our services are organized into two principal categories: Mobile and Cable and other fixed services. In addition, we sell telephone and other equipment, comprised mostly of mobile handsets.
Mobile
In our Mobile category, we provide mobile services, including mobile data, mobile voice, SMS and MFS, to consumers, business, and government. Mobile is the largest part of our business and generated 53% of consolidated service revenue (and 60% of our Latin America segment service revenue) for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 52% of our consolidated service revenue (and 59% of our Latin America segment service revenue) for the year ended December 31, 2019 .
We provide Mobile services in every country where we operate, except Costa Rica. As of December 31, 2020, we had a total of 38.8 million Mobile customers.
Mobile data, mobile voice and SMS
We provide our mobile data, mobile voice and SMS services through 2G, 3G and 4G networks in all our mobile markets. 4G is the fourth generation of mobile technology, succeeding 3G, and it is based on Internet Protocol (IP) technology, as opposed to prior generations of mobile communications which were based on and supported circuit-switched telephone service. Our 4G networks enable us to offer new services to our customers such as video calls and mobile broadband data with richer mobile content, such as live video streaming.
The mobile market has been evolving, with consumption gradually shifting from voice and SMS to data. Our ongoing deployment of 4G networks further supports this evolution to more data-centric usage.
We provide our mobile data, mobile voice and SMS services on both prepaid and postpaid bases. In prepaid, customers pay for service in advance through the purchase of wireless airtime and data access, and they do not sign service contracts. Among various options that our customers can choose from, we offer packages that typically include a combination and voice minutes, SMS and a data allowance, with expiration dates varying in length from a few days up to a few weeks or months. In postpaid, customers pay recurring monthly fees for the right to consume up to a predetermined maximum amount of airtime, SMS and data. In most cases, new postpaid customers sign a service contract with a typical length of one year.
MFS
We provide a broad range of mobile financial services such as payments, money transfers, international remittances, savings, real-time loans and micro-insurance for critical needs through our MFS App, Tigo Money. Tigo Money allows our customers to send and receive money, without the need for a bank account. As of December 31, 2020, we provided MFS to 10.3 million Tigo and non-Tigo customers. 25.4% of our mobile customer handset base were Tigo Money users as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, 73% of our total Tigo Money customers were in Tanzania (including Zantel), where more than one customer out of two uses our Tigo Money services. Tigo Money remains a growing business in our markets, which complements our product offering and increases customers’ satisfaction and loyalty, reducing our customer churn.
Cable and other fixed services
In our Cable and other fixed services category, we provide fixed services, including broadband, fixed voice and pay-TV, to residential (Home) consumers and to government and business (B2B) customers. Cable and other fixed services generated 45% of our consolidated service revenue (and 39% of our Latin America segment revenue) for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 47% of our consolidated service revenue (and 40% of our Latin America segment service revenue) for the year ended December 31, 2019.

38


Home
Our fixed service residential customers (a “customer relationship”) generate revenue for us by purchasing one or more of our three fixed services, pay-TV, fixed broadband, and fixed telephony. We refer to each service that a customer purchases as a revenue generating unit (“RGU”), such that a single customer relationship can have up to three RGUs in countries where we are permitted to sell all three services.
We provide Home services mainly over our HFC network, but we also offer pay-TV services to rural areas via our DTH platform and broadband services using WiMAX and copper-based technologies in some markets. Although most of our customers currently choose to receive broadband speeds of less than 10 Mbps, the HFC networks we are rolling out are based on DOCSIS 3.0 and allow us to offer speeds of up to 150 Mbps on our current infrastructure, which gives us scope to significantly raise our customers’ broadband speeds over time. As we retire analog channels over time, our HFC network infrastructure will eventually allow us to offer speeds of up to 1 Gbps. Some of our markets are also compatible for DOCSIS 3.1, which could enable even higher levels of throughput on our HFC networks. In the future, we may also deploy Fiber-To-The-Home ("FTTH") in some markets.
In Latin America, we provide Home services in every country where we operate. As of December 31, 2020, we had 4.5 million customer relationships, of which 3.7 million were connected to our HFC network, and we had 8.8 million RGUs, including 3.4 million broadband RGUs, 2.9 million pay TV RGUs and 1.3 million telephony RGUs on our HFC network. We do not provide Home services in Africa.
We provide our Home services on a postpaid basis, with customers paying recurring monthly subscription fees. In most markets, we offer bundled fixed services, such as our triple-play offering of pay-TV, broadband internet and, where possible, fixed telephone. On average, our Home customers typically contract more than one fixed service from us. In some markets, we also market our services on a convergent basis, bundling both fixed and mobile services, to a very small portion of our total customer base.
B2B fixed
We offer fixed voice and data telecommunications services, managed services and cloud and security solutions to small, medium and large businesses and governmental entities. We offer B2B fixed services in all of the markets in which we operate, both in Latin America and in Africa.
We believe that B2B fixed provides a significant growth opportunity for Millicom driven by the changes in working habits and business models. These changes are creating additional growth opportunities through the adoption of cloud information technology, security and new software defined networks. We expect that the ongoing expansion of our HFC networks in Latin America will help to make us more competitive and increase our share of the B2B fixed market over time. In addition, as we expand our fixed networks throughout our markets, we can better compete for large enterprise and government contracts that typically require a national presence, and we will be better placed to offer fixed, mobile and other value-added services, such as cloud-based services and data center capacity. We already see evidence of this in Colombia in Panama, where we have a more extensive fixed network than in our other markets, and where the proportion of revenue we generate from B2B fixed is significantly larger than in our other Latin America countries.
We have already deployed approximately 170,000 kilometers of fiber in our Latin American markets, and we are expanding our product portfolio to deliver more VAS and business solutions, such as cloud-based services and ICT managed services. In 2019, we inaugurated a new Tier 3 certified data center in Honduras, which further strengthened our ability to better serve small and midsize businesses (“SMB”) and large enterprise customers that require robust infrastructure and redundancy to achieve their own operational efficiency goals and meet business continuity needs. We have also established partnerships in the area of hypercloud, virtualization and Internet of Things ("IoT"), to capture the growth in the adoption of the such technologies and help our customers accelerate their digital transformations.
Our markets
Overview
The Millicom Group’s risks and rates of return for its operations are predominantly affected by operating in different geographical regions. We have businesses in two regions: Latin America and Africa, which constitute our two segments. Our Latin America segment includes the Guatemala and Honduras joint ventures as if they were fully consolidated, as this reflects the way our management reviews and uses internally reported information to make decisions about operating matters. Our Africa segment does not include our joint venture in Ghana because our management does not consider it a strategic part of our group. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—A. Operating Results—Our Segments.”
•    Latin America. The Latin American markets we serve are Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama and Paraguay. We provide Mobile services in each of our Latin American markets, except for Costa Rica, and we provide Cable and other fixed services in each of our Latin American markets.
•    Africa. The African market we serve is Tanzania, in which we provide Mobile and B2B. Our joint venture with Bharti Airtel provides mobile services in Ghana. We do not provide Cable and other fixed services in our African market.
39


Latin America
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, revenue generated by our Latin America segment was $5,843 million and $5,964 million, respectively.
We provide mobile services in eight countries in Latin America. As of December 31, 2020, we had a total of 41.7 million Mobile customers, a 4.7% increase from December 31, 2019 mainly due to new customers as we have upgraded our networks in several countries including Colombia, El Salvador and Panama.
As of December 31, 2020, our Cable business had a network that passed 12.2 million homes and had 4.5 million customer relationships in Latin America, a 4.7% increase from December 31, 2019 mainly due to increased demand for broadband services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
An important recent trend in the Latin American telecommunications market has been the growth in fixed broadband penetration. We have significantly increased the coverage of our HFC network largely in response to demand for high-speed fixed broadband services. As of December 31, 2020, our HFC network passed 11.9 million homes, a 3.7% increase from December 31, 2019 (11.5 million), and had 3.7 million customer relationships, an 8.0% increase from December 31, 2019.
The following chart shows the relative revenue generation of each country in our Latin America segment for 2020:

Bolivia
We provide Mobile and Cable and other fixed services through Telefonica Celular de Bolivia S.A. (“Telecel Bolivia”), which is wholly owned by the Millicom Group. We have operated in Bolivia since 1991.
Mobile: As of December 31, 2020, we served 3.9 million subscribers and were the second largest provider of Mobile services in Bolivia, as measured by total subscribers.
Cable and other fixed: As of December 31, 2020, we were the largest provider of broadband and pay-TV services in Bolivia, as measured by subscribers, and we had 564 thousand customer relationships. We offer broadband services through HFC, and we provide pay-TV primarily through HFC and DTH in Bolivia. We also offer pay-TV services through Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service (“MMDS”), but we have been gradually migrating our MMDS customers to HFC, which allows us to provide a better customer experience and to generate additional revenue from each customer we upgrade to HFC.
Colombia
We provide Mobile and Cable and other fixed services in Colombia through UNE, in which we own a 50% plus one voting share interest and Colombia Móvil S.A., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of UNE. We have operated in Colombia through Colombia Móvil S.A. since 2006 and acquired our interest in UNE, with which we had previously co-owned Colombia Móvil S.A., via a merger in 2014.
Mobile: As of December 31, 2020, we served 10.0 million subscribers and were the third largest provider of Mobile services in Colombia, as measured by subscribers.
41


Cable and other fixed services: Tigo is one of the principal digital cable operators in Colombia. As of December 31, 2020, we were the second largest provider of pay-TV and broadband internet services in Colombia, as measured by subscribers, with 1.7 million customer relationships. We have been investing heavily to expand the reach of our HFC network and to upgrade our copper network to HFC. By extending the reach of our HFC network in areas historically served by our copper network, we can gradually migrate our copper customers onto our HFC network, thus significantly enhancing the customer experience by expanding the range of products and services they can choose from, including the availability of faster broadband speeds. In Colombia, we also use DTH to provide pay-TV services to customers located outside of our HFC network coverage area.
Costa Rica
We provide Cable and other fixed services in Costa Rica through Millicom Cable Costa Rica S.A. (“Tigo Costa Rica”), which is wholly owned by the Millicom Group. We have operated in Costa Rica since our acquisition of Amnet in 2008. Amnet and its predecessor companies began operating in Costa Rica in 1982, and the company was the first to provide pay-TV services in the country.
Cable and other fixed services: As of December 31, 2020, we had 239 thousand customer relationships and we were the largest provider of pay-TV and the third largest provider of broadband internet services in Costa Rica, as measured by subscribers.

We continue to invest to expand and upgrade the capacity of our HFC network in Honduras.
Nicaragua
In 2019, we purchased Telefonía Celular de Nicaragua, S.A. ("Telefonía Nicaragua"), the leading provider of Mobile services in the country, based on the number of subscribers. As of December 31, 2020, we served 3.5 million mobile subscribers.
42


Prior to 2019, we had a very small presence in Nicaragua, where we provided mostly B2B fixed services. Since 2018 we also provide Cable services to a small but rapidly-growing customer base.
Panama
We provide Mobile and Cable and other fixed services in Panama through Cable Onda S.A., which is 80% owned by the Millicom Group with the remaining 20% owned by our local partners. We have operated in Panama since our acquisition of Cable Onda in December 2018. Cable Onda and its predecessor companies began operating in Panama in 1982, and the company was the first to provide pay-TV services in the country. In 2019, our Cable Onda subsidiary acquired Grupo de Comunicaciones Digitales S.A. (formerly Telefonica Moviles Panama, S.A.) and started to provide Mobile services.

As of December 31, 2020, we had 452 thousand customer relationships with our HFC network, DTH, and, to a much lesser extent, other technologies. We offer pay-TV services primarily using our HFC network, and we use our DTH license to offer pay-TV in areas not reached by our HFC network. We offer residential broadband internet services mostly using our HFC network, but we also employ fixed wireless technology to provide service beyond the reach of our HFC network. We have exclusive rights to broadcast Paraguay’s national league championship games through 2023, and we have exclusive sponsorship rights in telecommunications for the Paraguayan National Soccer Team through 2023.
Africa
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the revenue generated by our Africa segment, which consists of our operations in Tanzania, was $366.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the revenue generated by our Africa segment was $381.9 million.
As of December 31, 2020, we had 13.1 million Mobile customers in Africa. In addition to the African market described below, we own a 50% interest in a joint venture with Bharti Airtel that provides mobile services in Ghana. We do not consider our Ghana joint venture to be a strategic part of our Group.
Tanzania
We provide mostly Mobile services in Tanzania primarily through MIC Tanzania plc ("Tigo Tanzania"), a 98.5% owned subsidiary of the Millicom Group. We have operated in Tanzania since 1994.
On October 22, 2015, we acquired 85% of Zanziber Telecommunications Ltd ("Zantel"), a telecommunications provider operating mainly in Zanzibar, a semi-autonomous region of Tanzania. In 2019, we received approval to combine Tigo Tanzania and Zantel whereby Tigo Tanzania acquired 15% of the remaining shares in Zantel for a consideration representing 1.5% of its own share capital. As a result, the Group's ownership in Tigo Tanzania reduced from 100% to 98.5%, and is now also to 98.5% in Zantel (indirectly).
The Tanzanian government has implemented legislation requiring telecommunications companies to list their shares on the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange and offer 25% of their shares in a Tanzanian public offering. We are currently planning for the IPO of our Tanzanian operation pursuant to the legislation. We have filed a draft prospectus with the Tanzania Capital Market and Securities Authority and the Regulator has since requested that we retain an underwriter to ensure the success of the IPO. Together with its investment bank advisers, we are seeking an underwriter active in the Tanzanian and Eastern African markets, a process currently underway. There can be no guarantee if or when such IPO may occur, or the ownership share of our Tanzanian operation that we may sell in the IPO.
Mobile: As of December 31, 2020, Tigo Tanzania had 13.1 million subscribers, including Zantel, and we were the second largest mobile provider in Tanzania, as measured by subscribers.
Regulation
43


The licensing, construction, ownership and operation of cable TV and mobile telecommunications networks and the grant, maintenance and renewal of cable TV and mobile telecommunications licenses, as well as radio frequency allocations and interconnection arrangements, are regulated by different governmental authorities in each of the markets that Millicom serves. The regulatory regimes in the markets in which Millicom operates are less developed than in other countries such as the United States and countries in the European Union, and can therefore change quickly. See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—2. Risks Related to Millicom's business in the markets in which we operate—F. Legal and regulatory—Developing legal systems in the countries in which we operate create a number of uncertainties for our businesses.”
Typically, Millicom’s cable and mobile operations are regulated by the government (e.g., a ministry of communications), an independent regulatory body or a combination of both. In all of the markets in which Millicom operates, there are ongoing discussions and consultation processes involving other operators and the governing authorities regarding issues such as mobile termination rates and other interconnection rates, universal service obligations, interconnection obligations, spectrum allocations, universal service funds and other industry levies and number portability. This list is not exhaustive; such ongoing discussions are a typical part of operating in a regulated environment.
Changes in regulation can sometimes impose new burdens on the telecommunications industry and have a material impact on our business and on our financial results. For example, regulators in our markets periodically require that we reduce the interconnection fees that we charge other telecom operators to terminate voice traffic on our network. At times, such measures can have a material adverse effect on our overall results of operation. For example, in Honduras, beginning in January 2019, mobile interconnection charges were reduced by 25%. Also in 2019, new regulation enacted in El Salvador regarding the rollover of voice and data traffic affected the Company's revenues. In 2020, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments in several of our markets prohibited the disconnection of customers with past due accounts for an extended period, which impacted our revenues and collections.
The mobile services we provide require the use of spectrum, for which we have various licenses in each country where we provide mobile services. Spectrum licenses have expiration dates that typically range from 10 to 20 years. Historically, we have been able to renew our licenses upon expiration by agreeing to pay additional fees. We generally expect to continue to renew our current licenses as they expire, and we expect to acquire new spectrum licenses as they become available in the future.

Below, we provide further regulatory details in respect of certain of our countries of operation in Latin America.
Bolivia: We hold a license to provide telecommunication services in Bolivia until 2051, mobile service authorization and spectrum licenses until 2030, and cable and VOIP and internet authorizations until 2028.
Colombia: Colombia Móvil has three separate nationwide spectrum licenses in the 1900 MHz band. In June 2013, Colombia Móvil, acquired spectrum in the AWS (1700/2100 MHz) band, which we use to offer 4G services. In order to reduce the cost and accelerate the deployment of the 4G network, we entered into a network sharing agreement with our competitor, Telefónica Colombia. Colombia Móvil also has an indefinite license (Habilitación General) that allows the company to offer several nationwide telecommunication services. In August 2019, the President of Colombia sanctioned the Law of Modernization of the Information Technology and Communications sector which, among other changes, changed the duration of spectrum permits from 10 to 20 years. During 2019, the regulator announced the auction of the 700MHz, 1900MHz and 2500MHz bands, which took place in December 2019, and through which we were awarded the right to use two blocks of 20 MHz in the 700 MHz band. In 2019, our cable TV license was successfully migrated to the General Authorization to provide telecommunication services in Colombia, in accordance with the new law.
Costa Rica: We hold two cable licenses which expire in 2029 and a license to operate telecommunications services which expires in 2024.
El Salvador: In 2017 and 2018, Telemóvil successfully renewed all of its spectrum licenses. In December 2019, the regulator completed an auction for AWS spectrum in which we acquired 5 blocks totaling 2x25MHz of bandwidth.
Guatemala: Comcel operates a nationwide mobile network, and it holds spectrum licenses that expire in 2034. In recent years, the regulator has discussed the possibility of auctioning additional spectrum and the government recently
45


announced its intent to move forward with an auction in the 700MHz band during 2021, but specific plans have not yet been announced.
Honduras: Celtel owns spectrum licenses in the 850 MHz and AWS bands, and these expire in 2028. The Honduran government is planning a multi-band spectrum auction of frequencies in the 700 MHz, 900 MHz and 2500 MHz bands. The auction has been delayed several times since its approval in 2016, most recently due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Exact terms and timing are still uncertain, but it could potentially take place during latter half of 2021.
Panama: We hold six telephone licenses that expire in 2022, two cable TV licenses that expire in 2024, a radio license that expires in 2025 and two commercial data transmission license and an Internet for public access license that expire in 2038.
Paraguay: We own licenses for four blocks of spectrum in Paraguay to provide mobile services, and these give us access to low, mid, and high frequencies, which provide an optimal mix to allow us to offer high-quality network coverage and give us the ability to increase network capacity to meet growing traffic demand needs.
Below, we provide further regulatory details in respect of our operations in Africa.
Tanzania: Millicom Tanzania has licenses for national and international network facilities services that expire in 2032, national and international network services licenses that expire in 2032 and 2035, respectively, and licenses for national and international application services that expire in 2022 and 2020, respectively. In 2019, Millicom Tanzania purchased the right to use 2x10 MHz of spectrum in the 800 MHz band for a period of 15 years and this is currently being used to offer 4G services. Zantel has licenses for national and international network facilities and national and international network services that expire in 2031 and national and international application licenses that expire in 2026. Zantel also has a radio frequency spectrum license authorizing the use of 900,1800 and 2100 spectrum that expires in 2031. Following the acquisition of Zantel by Millicom Tanzania, an application has been made to merge the licenses so they are co-terminus.

* Also reflects the voting interest, except in Colombia where voting interest is 50% + 1 share for each of the three entities
In addition, we provide services in Guatemala primarily through Comcel, a joint venture in which MIC S.A. indirectly holds a 55% equity interest. In Honduras, we provide services through Celtel, a joint venture in which MIC S.A. indirectly holds a 66.67% equity interest. In both Guatemala and Honduras, we entered into our joint ventures at inception of these businesses in the 1990s. At that time, Millicom had limited sources of capital and was investing heavily to deploy mobile operations in many countries around the world; these partners provided local market expertise and reduced Millicom’s overall capital needs. Despite the fact that Millicom owns more than 50% of the shares of these entities and has the right to nominate a majority of the directors of each of these entities, all decisions taken by the boards or the shareholders of these companies must be taken by a super majority vote. This effectively gives either shareholder the ability to veto any decision and therefore neither shareholder has sole control over either entity.
We also own a 50% interest in Bharti Airtel Ghana Holdings B.V, a joint venture with Bharti Airtel to provide mobile services in Ghana. We entered into our joint venture in Ghana in 2017, when we agreed to combine our operations with those of Bharti Airtel, with the objective of gaining scale and to improve both our competitiveness and the profitability of our business in that country. Millicom has the right to nominate half of the directors of this joint venture, but as with the other joint ventures all decisions taken by the board or the shareholders must be taken by a super majority vote.

D.    Property, Plant and Equipment
Overview
We own, or have the right to access and use through long-term leases, telecommunications sites and related infrastructure and equipment in all of our markets. In addition, we own, or have the right to access and use through long-term finance leases, tower space, warehouses, office buildings and related telecommunications facilities in all of our markets. We are also party to several site sharing agreements whereby we share our owned telecommunications sites and related infrastructure and equipment, or lease such property from our counterparties in an effort to maximize the use of telecommunications sites globally. Our leased properties are owned by private individuals, corporations and / or sovereign states.
Assets used for the provision of cable TV and mobile telephone services include, without limitation:
•    switching, transmission and receiving equipment;
•    connecting lines (cables, wires, poles and other support structures, conduits and similar items);
•    diesel generator sets and air conditioners;
•    real property and infrastructure, including telecommunications towers, office buildings and warehouses;
•    easements and other rights to use or access real property;
•    access roads; and
•    other miscellaneous assets (work equipment, furniture, etc.).
Tower infrastructure
In some of our markets, we have determined that owning passive infrastructure, such as mobile telecommunications towers, no longer confers a competitive advantage. As a result, we have completed a number of sale and lease-back transactions involving some of our tower assets in recent years. These transactions have allowed us to focus our capital investment on other fixed assets, such as network equipment, thereby increasing our network coverage, capacity and the overall quality of our service, while also improving our return on invested capital.
We continue to own a significant number of towers in some of our markets, especially in Central America, and we continuously assess the merits of entering into new sale and lease-back agreements, based in part on the competitive dynamics in our markets, but also on demand and investment appetite by tower companies. Our most recent lease-back agreements typically have (i) an initial 12-year term, with a right for us to renew for up to 10 or 20 years, and (ii) rent denominated and payable in local currency.
In 2017 and 2018, Millicom announced agreements to sell and leaseback wireless communications towers in Paraguay, Colombia and El Salvador to subsidiaries of American Tower Corporation and SBA Communications whereby Millicom agreed to the cash sale of tower assets and to lease back a dedicated portion of each tower to locate its network equipment.
The table below summarizes certain key terms of these transactions and their impact on the Millicom Group for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019. There were no transactions in 2020.

Not applicable.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, and the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors.”

A.    Operating Results
Factors affecting our results of operations
Our performance and results of operations have been and will continue to be affected by a number of factors and trends, including principally:
•    Macro and socio-demographic factors that affect demand for and affordability of our services, such as consumer confidence and expansion of the middle class, as well as foreign currency exchange volatility and inflation which can impact our cost structure and profitability. Growth in GDP per capita and expansion of the middle class makes our services affordable to a larger pool of consumers. The emerging markets we serve tend to have younger populations and faster household formation, and produce more children per family, than developed markets, driving demand for our residential services, such as broadband internet and pay-TV. Digitalization of societies leads to more devices connected per household and more data needs. Exposure to inflationary pressures and foreign currency exchange volatility may negatively impact our profitability or make our services more expensive for our customers; in this respect see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Risk—Foreign currency risk.”
•    Competitive intensity, which largely reflects the number of market participants and the financial strength of each. Competitive intensity varies over time and from market to market. Markets tend to be more price competitive and less profitable for us when there are more market participants, and thus any future increase in the number of market participants in any of our markets would likely have a negative effect on our business.
•    Changes in regulation. Our business is highly-dependent on a variety of licenses granted by regulators in the countries where we operate. Any changes in how regulators award and renew these licenses could impact our
50


business. In particular, our mobile services business requires access to licensed spectrum, and we expect our business and the mobile industry in general will require more spectrum in the future to meet future mobile data traffic needs. In addition, regulators can impose certain constraints and obligations that can have an impact on how we operate the business and on our profitability. For example, in Colombia in 2017, the regulator introduced caps to wholesale rates on mobile services, which forced us to lower our prices for both voice and data services, and it also cut interconnection rates. In 2016, the regulator in Paraguay required that mobile service providers extend to 90 days, from 30 days previously, the minimum expiration of prepaid mobile data allowances; and in El Salvador, the government required us to shut down certain parts of our network near the country’s incarceration facilities.
•    Technological change. Our business relies on technology that continues to evolve rapidly, forcing us to adapt and deploy new innovations that can impact our investment needs and our cost structure, as well as create new revenue opportunities. This is true for both our mobile and fixed services. With respect to our mobile services, while we are still deploying 4G networks, the industry is already well advanced in planning for the future deployment of 5G, which we expect will drive continued demand for data in the future. With respect to our fixed services, the cable infrastructure we are deploying, largely based on the DOCSIS 3.0 standard, continues to evolve, and we are continuously evaluating alternatives such as DOCSIS 3.1 and FTTH. Over time, 5G and other mobile technologies may also be considered as viable alternatives for fixed services. In the meantime, an important recent trend in the Latin American telecommunications market has been the growth in fixed broadband penetration. We have significantly increased the coverage of our HFC network largely in response to demand for high-speed fixed broadband services. Technological change is also impacting the capabilities of the equipment our customers use, such as mobile handsets and set-top boxes, and potential change in this area may impact demand for our services in the future.
•    Changes in consumer behavior and needs. In recent years, consumption of mobile services has shifted from voice and SMS to data services due largely to changes in consumer patterns, including for example the adoption and growth of social media, made possible by new smartphones on 4G networks capable of high quality live video streaming.
•    Political changes. The countries where we operate are characterized as having a high degree of political uncertainty, and electoral cycles can sometimes impact business investment, consumer confidence, and broader economic activity as well as inflation and foreign exchange rates. Moreover, changes in government can sometimes produce significant changes in taxation and regulation of the telecommunications industry that can have a material impact on our business and financial results.
COVID-19. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. Most countries globally, including a majority of the countries where we operate, reacted by implementing severe restrictions on travel and public gatherings, including the closing of offices, businesses, schools, retail stores and other public venues, and by instituting curfews or quarantines. These restrictions as well as the dangers posed by the virus, produced a significant reduction in mobility and a severe disruption in global economic activity during 2020. According to data compiled by the University of Oxford, the government-imposed lockdowns in the vast majority of our markets were among the most stringent in the world. As a result, many of our stores and distribution channels were forced to close temporarily and a majority of our markets experienced very sharp reductions in mobility during 2020. These lockdowns immediately impacted our prepaid mobile business, which suffered a sharp decline, followed by a rapid recovery as the lockdowns eased. In our subscription businesses, the revenue erosion was more gradual than in mobile prepaid, and the recovery has also been more gradual. Finally, revenue from our B2B services has eroded gradually since the onset of the pandemic, as many small and mid-sized business struggle to cope with the health and economic crisis.

Additional factors and trends affecting our performance and the results of operations are set out in Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors.
Factors affecting comparability of prior periods
Acquisitions
On February 20, 2019 we announced the agreement with Telefonica S.A. to acquire the entire share capital of Telefónica Móviles Panamá, S.A., Telefónica de Costa Rica TC, S.A. (and its wholly owned subsidiary, Telefónica Gestión de Infraestructura y Sistemas de Costa Rica, S.A.) and Telefonía Celular de Nicaragua, S.A. (together, “Telefonica CAM”) for a combined enterprise value of $1,650 million (the “Transaction”) payable in cash.
51


On May 16, 2019, we acquired 100% of Telefonía Celular de Nicaragua, S.A., the number one mobile operator in Nicaragua, adding to our existing cable operations. Since the closing date, we have controlled and therefore fully consolidated Telefonía Celular de Nicaragua, S.A. For the year ended December 31, 2019, Telefonía Celular de Nicaragua, S.A. contributed $144 million of revenue and a net profit of $5 million.
On August 29, 2019, we acquired 100% of Grupo de Comunicaciones Digitales S.A. (formerly Telefónica Móviles Panamá, S.A.), the leading mobile operator in the Panama. The acquisition was made through Millicom's subsidiary, Cable Onda, the leading cable operator in the country. Since the closing date, we have controlled and therefore fully consolidated Grupo de Comunicaciones Digitales S.A., with a 20% non-controlling interest. For the year ended December 31, 2019, Telefónica Móviles Panamá, S.A. contributed $80 million of revenue and a net profit of $6 million.
On May 2, 2020, Millicom announced that it had terminated the Share Purchase Agreement in relation to the acquisition of the entire capital of Telefónica de Costa Rica TC, S.A.. The aggregate purchase price for the Telefonica Panama and Nicaragua Acquisitions was therefore $1.08 billion, which have been subject to purchase price adjustments. For additional information, see notes G.3.1. and A.1.2. to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
On December 13, 2018, we acquired a controlling 80% stake in Cable Onda, the largest cable and fixed telecommunications services provider in Panama. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the transaction closed for cash consideration of $956 million in addition to which Millicom assumed Cable Onda’s debt obligations, including the Corporate Bonds, of which the aggregate principal amount outstanding was $185 million as at the acquisition date, as well as other indebtedness. Since the closing date, we have controlled and therefore fully consolidated Cable Onda in our financial statements with a 20% non-controlling interest. See note C.7.4 to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding our Cable Onda call and put options.
In the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Group also completed certain other minor additional acquisitions. See note A.1.2. to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding our acquisitions and the accounting treatment thereof.
Discontinued operations
As a result of the merger of our business in Ghana with another business, and the resulting change in ownership, as well as the sale of our businesses in Senegal, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”), those businesses had each been classified as assets held for sale (respectively on September 28, 2017, February 2, 2017, January 23, 2018 and February 8, 2016), and their results had been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in our consolidated financial statements included herein. For additional details on our discontinued operations, see notes A.4. and E..3. to our audited consolidated financial statements.
Chad
On March 14, 2019, Millicom announced that it had signed an agreement for the sale of its entire operations in Chad to Maroc Telecom. The transaction was completed on June 27, 2019.
Senegal
On July 28, 2017, we announced that we had agreed to sell our Senegal business to a consortium consisting of NJJ, Sofima (managed by the Axian Group) and the Teylium Group, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. On April 19, 2018, the President of Senegal issued an approval decree in respect of the proposed sale. The sale was completed on April 27, 2018.
Rwanda
On December 19, 2017, we announced that we had signed an agreement for the sale of our Rwanda operations to subsidiaries of Airtel. We received regulatory approvals on January 23, 2018 and the sale was subsequently completed on January 31, 2018.
Ghana
On March 3, 2017, we and Bharti Airtel Limited (“Airtel”) announced that we had entered into an agreement for MIC S.A.’s subsidiary Tigo Ghana Limited and Airtel’s subsidiary Airtel Ghana Limited to combine their operations in Ghana. As per the agreement, we and Airtel have equal ownership and governance rights in the combined entity. Necessary regulatory approvals were received in September 2017, and the merger was completed on October 12, 2017.

IFRS 16 adoption
IFRS 16 “Leases” was effective for periods starting on January 1, 2019 and has been adopted by the Millicom Group as of that date using the modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of applying the new standard recognized in retained profits as of January 1, 2019. For a description of the standard and its impact on the Millicom Group, see “Introduction—New and amended IFRS accounting standards” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements.
Guatemala and Honduras Joint Ventures

Though we hold majority ownership interests in the entities that conduct each of the Guatemala and Honduras joint ventures, the boards of directors are composed of equal numbers of directors from Millicom and from our respective partners, and the shareholders’ agreements for each entity require unanimous board approval for key decisions relating to the activities of these entities. As such, we have determined that neither party controls the entities, and we therefore account for our investments in these entities as equity method investments.
We report our share of the net income of the Guatemala and Honduras joint ventures in our consolidated statement of income under the caption “Share of profit in our joint ventures in Guatemala and Honduras.”
For additional details on the Guatemala and Honduras joint ventures, see note A.2. to our audited consolidated financial statements.
Comcel, our principal Guatemala joint venture company in which we hold a 55% ownership interest but which we do not control, met the income threshold as a significant investee accounted for by the equity method for purposes of Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.  The financial statements for Comcel are included in Exhibit 99.1 to this Annual Report.
Our segments
Our management determines operating and reportable segments based on the reports that are used by the chief operating decision maker to make strategic and operational decisions from both a business and geographic perspective. The Millicom Group’s risks and rates of return for its operations are predominantly affected by operating in different geographical regions. The Millicom Group has businesses in two main regions, Latin America and Africa, which constitute our two segments. Our Latin America segment includes the Guatemala and Honduras joint ventures as if they were fully consolidated, as this reflects the way our management reviews and uses internally reported information to make decisions about operating matters and to provide increased transparency to investors on those operations. Our Africa segment does not include our joint venture in Ghana because our management does not consider it a strategic part of our group.
Our customer base
We generate revenue mainly from the mobile and cable and other fixed services that we provide and, to a lesser extent, from the sale of telephone and other equipment. For a description of our services, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Our services.” Our results of operations are therefore dependent on both the size of our customer base and on the amount that customers spend on our services.
We measure the amount that customers spend on our services using a telecommunications industry metric known as ARPU, or average revenue per user per month. We define ARPU for our Mobile customers as (x) the total mobile and mobile financial services revenue (excluding revenue earned from tower rentals, call center, data and mobile virtual network operator, visitor roaming, national third parties roaming and mobile telephone equipment sales revenue) for the period, divided by (y) the average number of Mobile subscribers for the period, divided by (z) the number of months in the period. We define ARPU for our Home customers in our Latin America segment as (x) the total Home revenue (excluding equipment sales, TV advertising and equipment rental) for the period, divided by (y) the average number of customer relationships for the period, divided by (z) the number of months in the period. ARPU is not subject to a standard industry definition and our definition of ARPU may be different to other industry participants.
We provide certain customer data below that we believe will assist investors in understanding our performance and to which we refer later in this section in discussing our results of operations.

Revenue
Revenue decreased by 3.8% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $4,171 million from $4,336 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to lower commercial activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, weaker currencies in some of our markets, and was partially offset by the full year contribution of the mobile acquisitions in Nicaragua and Panama, which were acquired in May of 2019 and August of 2019, respectively.
Colombia represented over 32%, Paraguay, Bolivia and Panama each represented between 13% and 14%, and no other country represented more than 10% of our consolidated revenue in 2020 and 2019. Panama experienced the highest relative increase in revenues of $110 million, as a result of the acquisition of the mobile business in August of 2019. Revenue in Nicaragua increased by $63 million due to the acquisition of the mobile business in May of 2019. Revenue in El Salvador increased by 0.6% due to strong prepaid mobile results in the fourth quarter of 2020. Revenue declined by 8.6% in Bolivia due to lower commercial activity as a result of the lockdowns in the country. Revenue decreased by 10.8% in Paraguay and by 12.2% in Colombia due to lower commercial activity as a result of the lockdowns in those markets as well as due to a weaker average FX rate for the Paraguayan guarani and the Colombian peso.

55


Cost of sales
Cost of sales decreased by 2.5% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $1,171 million from $1,201 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was commensurate with the decline in revenue.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses decreased by 6.2% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $1,505 million from $1,604 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was mainly due the decline in revenue as well as cost saving initiatives implemented to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our financial performance.
Depreciation
Depreciation increased by 7.9% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $890 million from $825 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was mainly due to the full year consolidation of our operations in Panama and Nicaragua.
Amortization
Amortization increased by 15.6% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $318 million from $275 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was mainly related to the full year contribution of our acquisitions in Panama and Nicaragua, accelerated amortization of some brands in the Cable Onda acquisition in Panama, and our spectrum purchase in Colombia.
Share of profit in our joint ventures in Guatemala and Honduras
Share of profit in our joint ventures in Guatemala and Honduras decreased by 4.4% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $171 million from $179 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was mainly due to a decline in the net profits generated in both Guatemala and Honduras. In Guatemala, the decrease in net profits came mostly from a one-time charge related to the redemption of the Comcel 2024 Notes, and increased tax provision in the year ended December 31, 2020. In Honduras, the decrease in net profit in the year ended December 31, 2020 was mainly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on revenue.
Other operating income (expenses), net
Other operating income (expenses), net, decreased by $23 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to an expense of $12 million from an expense of $34 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 reflects the impairment of a loan to a joint venture offset by gains from disposal in equity investments.
Interest and other financial expenses
Interest and other financial expenses increased by 10.8% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $624 million from $564 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was mainly due to accrued interest on spectrum purchased in Colombia in December 2019 as well as bond redemption fees related to a MICSA bond.
Interest and other financial income
Interest and other financial income decreased by 31.3% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $13 million from $20 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was mainly due to lower average cash and cash equivalents balances during 2020 as compared to 2019.
Other non-operating (expenses) income, net
Other non-operating (expenses) income, net decreased by $333 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to an expense of $106 million from an income of $227 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The expense for the year ended December 31, 2020, was mainly due to foreign exchange losses and the mark to market of our equity investments in Jumia and Helios Towers, while the income for the year ended December 31, 2019 was mainly due to a gain from the disposal on Jumia and Helios Towers.
Loss from other joint ventures and associates, net
Loss from other joint ventures and associates, net decreased by 98.5% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to a loss of $1 million from a loss of $40 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020 the loss was mostly related to our results in Ghana. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the loss was mainly due to the derecognition of Jumia as investment in associates.
56


Charges for taxes, net
Charges for taxes, net decreased by 15.5% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $102 million from $120 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was mainly due to lower profitability and higher deferred tax credit as of December 31, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019.
The main components of charges for taxes, net are the income tax generated by most of the operations in our Latin America segment and the withholding tax we pay when cash is upstreamed from our local operations. We also have net losses mainly in our corporate entities that reduce our profit before taxes and for which no deferred tax asset is recognized due to the history of losses in such entities. As a result, our effective tax rate is generally above our average statutory tax rate. Moreover, due to the jurisdictional differences and mix, we do not have the opportunity to offset tax expense with accumulated tax loss carry-forwards.
Net profit (loss) for the year
Net profit (loss) for the year decreased by $539 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to a net loss of $385 million from a net profit of $154 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Profit (loss) for the year from continuing operations decreased by $470 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to a loss of $373 million from a profit of $97 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 for the reasons stated above. Profit (loss) for the year from discontinued operations, net of tax decreased by $69 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to a loss of $12 million from a profit of $57 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 reflecting adjustments to the sales of Chad and Senegal.
Segment results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
Our Latin America segment includes the Guatemala and Honduras joint ventures as if they were fully consolidated, as this reflects the way our management reviews and uses internally reported information to make decisions about operating matters. Our Africa segment does not include our joint venture in Ghana because our management does not consider it a strategic part of our group. See “—Our segments” above.
As from January 1, 2020, Millicom is allocating corporate costs to each segment based on their contribution to underlying revenue, and only non-recurring costs, such as the M&A-related fees incurred in 2019, will remain unallocated going forward. This change in presentation has no impact on Group EBITDA. In order to facilitate comparisons of December 31, 2020 figures with prior periods, comparative figures have been re-presented to conform with this new segment EBITDA reporting.

Segment revenue
Revenue of our Latin America segment decreased by 2.0% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $5,843 million from $5,964 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in revenue was due to a decrease in our service revenue. The decrease in our service revenue was due to lower commercial activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as a negative impact from weaker foreign exchange rates in some of the countries where we operate including Colombia and Paraguay, offset by the full year contribution of our mobile assets in Nicaragua and Panama, which were acquired during 2019.
Following the disposal of our Chad operations during 2019, our Africa segment operations now consist of Tanzania, including Zantel. Revenue of our Africa segment decreased by 4.1% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $366 million from $382 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was mainly due to the impact of lower commercial activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Segment operating profit
Operating profit of our Latin America segment decreased by 18.1% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $803 million from $980 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to revenue decline, increased depreciation and amortization impacted by the full-year consolidation of our acquisitions in Nicaragua and Panama as well as accelerated amortization of a brand from our cable purchase in Panama and our spectrum purchase in Colombia as well as increased interest expense as a result of the accrual of spectrum in Colombia and fees related to the Comcel bond redemption in Guatemala.
Operating profit of our Africa segment increased by 87.0% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $36 million from $19 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was mainly due to a $21 million fine that impacted operating profit as of December 31, 2019.
Segment EBITDA
Segment EBITDA is segment operating profit excluding, depreciation and amortization and other operating income (expenses), net which includes impairment losses and gains/losses on the disposal of fixed assets attributable to the segment. Segment EBITDA is used by the management to monitor the segmental performance and for capital management and is further detailed in note B.3. Segment Information in the audited consolidated financial statements.
EBITDA of our Latin America segment decreased by 2.4% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $2,360 million from $2,418 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was attributable to lower commercial activity during the year. Using the same definition used for organic growth for service revenue and revenue in the section “Other Financial Data”, having deducted the 3.8 percentage points positive impact of mobile Panama and Nicaragua acquisitions (which were acquired during 2019), added the 3.5 percentage points negative impact of foreign currency
58


fluctuations between the periods, and deducted 1.0 percentage points of other impacts resulting from the net effect of small differences that result from calculating organic growth using different baselines for each period, EBITDA of our Latin America segment would have declined by 3.7%.
EBITDA of our Africa segment increased by 6.9% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $125 million from $117 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

(i)    IFRS 16 was adopted as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method; previous periods were therefore not restated and might not be directly comparable. See "IntroductionNew and amended IFRS accounting standards" in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional details regarding the impact of the adoptions.
Revenue
Revenue increased by 9.9% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $4,336 million from $3,946 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in revenue was primarily due to additional revenue of $395 million related to a full year of Cable Onda's revenue in Panama following the completion of the acquisition in December of 2018, the positive $144 million impact from the Nicaragua mobile acquisition in May of 2019 and the positive $81 million impact from the Panama mobile acquisition in August of 2019, partially offset by weaker currencies in some of our markets.
Colombia represented over 35%, Paraguay, Bolivia and Panama each represented between 11% and 15%, and no other country represented more than 10% of our consolidated revenue in 2019 and 2018. Panama experienced the highest relative increase in revenues of $458 million, as a result of the first full year of operations after the acquisition of Cable Onda in December of 2018, as well as the acquisition of the mobile business in August of 2019. Revenue in
Nicaragua increased by $144 million due to the acquisition of the mobile business in May of 2019. Revenue in Bolivia grew by 4.2% due to strong growth in our Cable and other fixed business services. Revenue in Colombia declined by
59


7.8% due to a weaker average FX rate for the Colombian Peso. El Salvador revenue declined by 4.5% as revenue from prepaid mobile services declined in 2019.

Cost of sales
Cost of sales increased by 7.5% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $1,201 million from $1,117 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was mainly due to the impact of acquisition of mobile operations in Panama and in Nicaragua.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses decreased by 0.8% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $1,604 million from $1,616 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease was mainly due to lower general and administrative expenses.
Depreciation
Depreciation increased by 24.5% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $825 million from $662 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was mainly due to the adoption of IFRS 16, which increased depreciation by $109 million compared to what it would have been if we had continued to follow IAS 17 in the year ended December 31, 2019, and the acquisition of our operations in Panama and Nicaragua, which increased depreciation, partially offset by a reduction in depreciation due to weaker currencies, particularly in Colombia and Paraguay.
Amortization
Amortization increased by 95.9% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $275 million from $140 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was mainly related to our acquisitions in Panama and Nicaragua, which increased amortization by $129 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Share of profit in our joint ventures in Guatemala and Honduras
Share of profit in our joint ventures in Guatemala and Honduras increased by 16.0% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $179 million from $154 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was mainly due to growth of the net profits generated in both Guatemala and Honduras. In Guatemala, the increase in net profits came mostly from increased revenue, lower operating expenses due to lower general and administrative costs during the year, and lower levels of foreign exchange losses in the year ended December 31, 2019. In Honduras, the increase in net profit was mainly due to an increase in revenues as well as lower levels of foreign exchange losses in the year ended December 31, 2019.
Other operating income (expenses), net
Other operating income (expenses), net decreased by $110 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to an expense of $34 million from an income of $75 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The expense for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 was mainly due to a loss from the disposal of equity investments, while the income for the year ended December 31, 2018 was mainly due to gains registered from the sale of towers in El Salvador, Paraguay and Colombia.
Interest and other financial expenses
Interest and other financial expenses increased by 53.7% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $564 million from $367 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was mainly due to higher gross debt as a result of incurring debt to fund the acquisitions in Panama and Nicaragua, as well as the adoption of IFRS 16 which added $72 million to interest expense.
Interest and other financial income
Interest and other financial income decreased by 4.6% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $20 million from $21 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The slight decrease was mainly due to lower average cash and cash equivalents balances during 2019 as compared to 2018.
Other non-operating (expenses) income, net
Other non-operating (expenses) income, increased by $266 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to an income of $227 million from an expense of $39 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase largely reflects a non-cash net loss of $38 million related to the revaluation of our stake in Jumia, which completed an initial public offering during 2019 and which had been accounted for as a financial asset at fair value and is offset by a net
60


gain of $312 million related to the gain from disposal and revaluation of our stake in Helios Towers Africa, which also completed an initial public offering during 2019, and which is accounted for as a financial asset at fair value.
Loss from other joint ventures and associates, net
Loss from other joint ventures and associates, net decreased by 70.3% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to a loss of $40 million from a loss of $136 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease was mainly due to the derecognition of Jumia as investment in associates in January. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Group’s share of results from Jumia and Helios Towers associates was a loss of $66 million. In addition, the decrease was related as well to a lower share of loss from the joint venture in Ghana during 2019 compared to 2018.
Charges for taxes, net
Charges for taxes, net increased by 7.2% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $120 million from $112 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was mainly due to the inclusion of the Telefonica and Cable Onda operations.
The main components of charges for taxes, net are the income tax generated by most of the operations in our Latin America segment and the withholding tax we pay when cash is upstreamed from our local operations to MIC S.A. We also have net losses mainly in our corporate entities that reduce our profit before taxes and for which no deferred tax asset is recognized due to the history of losses in such entities. As a result, our effective tax rate is generally above our average statutory tax rate. Moreover, due to the jurisdictional differences and mix, we do not have the opportunity to offset tax expense with accumulated tax loss carryforwards.
Net profit (loss) for the year
Net profit (loss) for the year increased by $180 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to a profit of $154 million from a loss of $26 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Profit (loss) for the year from continuing operations increased by $90 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to a profit of $97 million from a profit of $7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 for the reasons stated above. Profit (loss) for the year from discontinued operations, net of tax increased by $90 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to a profit of $57 million from a loss of $33 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in profit(loss) for the year from discontinued operations, net of tax, was mainly due to to the complete disposal of our Rwanda and Senegal operations that were included in this line during the first quarter of 2018 as well as the complete disposal of our Chad operations that were included in this line for the entirety of 2018.
Segment results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018
Our Latin America segment includes the Guatemala and Honduras joint ventures as if they were fully consolidated, as this reflects the way our management reviews and uses internally reported information to make decisions about operating matters. Our Africa segment does not include our joint venture in Ghana because our management does not consider it a strategic part of our group. See “—Our segments” above.
As from January 1, 2020, Millicom is allocating corporate costs to each segment based on their contribution to underlying revenue, and only non-recurring costs, such as the M&A-related fees incurred in 2019, will remain unallocated going forward. This change in presentation has no impact on Group EBITDA. In order to facilitate comparisons of December 31, 2020 figures with prior periods, comparative figures have been re-presented to conform with this new segment EBITDA reporting.

Segment revenue
Revenue of our Latin America segment increased by 8.7% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $5,964 million from $5,485 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in our service revenue. The increase in our service revenue was due to an increase in Cable and other fixed services revenue caused by the acquisition of Cable Onda and organic growth driven by the cable business in all of our markets. Additionally, the increase in revenue was due to an increase in Mobile revenue due to the mobile acquisitions in Panama and Nicaragua during 2019. These increases in service revenue were partially offset by a decrease in Mobile organic growth caused by macroeconomic slowdowns as well as increased competition in Bolivia, Paraguay and Guatemala. Our Latin America segment revenue was also negatively impacted by weaker foreign exchange rates in several of the countries which we operate.

Following the disposal of our Chad operations during 2019, our Africa segment operations now consist of Tanzania, including Zantel. Revenue of our Africa segment decreased by 4.2% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $382 million from $399 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease was mainly due to the impact of lower interconnection rates as well as increased competition.
Segment operating profit
Operating profit of our Latin America segment decreased by 1.0% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $980 million from $990 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in depreciation and amortization as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16 and due to acquisitions.
Operating profit of our Africa segment decreased by 7.4% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $19.42 million from $20.98 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease was mainly due to lower revenues and a $21 million regulatory fine.
Segment EBITDA
Segment EBITDA is segment operating profit excluding, depreciation and amortization and other operating income (expenses), net which includes impairment losses and gains/losses on the disposal of fixed assets attributable to the segment. Segment EBITDA is used by the management to monitor the segmental performance and for capital management and is further detailed in note B.3. Segment Information in the consolidated financial statements.
EBITDA of our Latin America segment increased by 16.7% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $2,418 million from $2,072 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was attributable to including a full year of Cable Onda as well as the inclusion of the mobile acquisitions in Panama and Nicaragua and a $170.6 million increase resulting from the adoption of IFRS 16, partially offset by weaker currency exchange rates. Using the same definition used for organic growth for service revenue and revenue in the section “Other Financial Data”, having deducted the 8.2 percentage points of positive impact from accounting changes (i.e., the effect of the implementation of IFRS 16 as of January 1, 2019), deducted the 11.9 percentage points positive impact of mobile Panama and Nicaragua acquisitions (which were acquired during 2019), added the 5.0 percentage points negative impact of foreign currency fluctuations between the periods, and added 0.5 percentage points of other negative impacts resulting from the net effect of small differences that result from calculating organic growth using different baselines for each period, EBITDA of our Latin America segment would have increased by 2.1%.

EBITDA of our Africa segment increased by 19.2% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $117 million from $98 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was mainly due to the adoption of IFRS 16, which added $34.4 million to EBITDA.

(1) Free Cash Flow Measures

Operating free cash flow

Operating free cash flow is a non-IFRS measure and is not a uniformly or legally defined financial measure. Operating free cash flow is not a substitute for IFRS measures in assessing our overall financial performance. Because Operating free cash flow is not determined in accordance with IFRS, and is susceptible to varying calculations, Operating free cash flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Operating free cash flow is included in this report because it is used by our management, and we believe may be useful to investors, to evaluate our core operational cash flow performance from period to period, as reflected in the adjustments in the reconciliation table below. Operating free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under IFRS.

Because Free cash flow is not determined in accordance with IFRS, and is susceptible to varying calculations, Free cash flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Free cash flow is included in this report because it is used by our management, and we believe may be useful to investors, to evaluate our cash flow performance from period to period as it reflects the operating free cash flow generated as described above after net finance charges paid. Free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under IFRS.

Equity free cash flow

Equity free cash flow is a non-IFRS measure and is not a uniformly or legally defined financial measure. Equity free cash flow is not a substitute for IFRS measures in assessing our overall financial performance. Because Equity free cash flow is not determined in accordance with IFRS, and is susceptible to varying calculations, Equity free cash flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Equity free cash flow is included in this report because it is used by our management, and we believe may be useful to investors, to evaluate our cash flow performance from period to period as it reflects our non–IFRS Free cash flow as described above with the addition of dividends or advances received from our joint venture operations (namely Guatemala and Honduras) and the
64


deduction dividends paid to non–controlling interests. Equity free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under IFRS.

(2) Revenue and Service Revenue Organic Growth

Revenue Organic Growth and Service Revenue Organic Growth are non-IFRS measures and are not uniformly or legally defined financial measures. Revenue Organic Growth and Service Revenue Organic Growth are not substitutes for IFRS measures in assessing our overall operating performance. Because Revenue Organic Growth and Service Revenue Organic Growth are not determined in accordance with IFRS, and are susceptible to varying calculations, Revenue Organic Growth and Service Revenue Organic Growth may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Revenue Organic Growth and Service Revenue Organic Growth are included in this report because our management uses these measures to evaluate our core revenue generating performance from period to period, having eliminated (1) the impact of revenue from businesses acquired during the most recent period (such as Telefonica Panama and Telefonia Nicaragua in 2019) and the contribution to revenue of businesses disposed of (such as Rwanda, Senegal in 2018 and Chad in 2019) during either period (“change in perimeter”), (2) currency fluctuations, and (3) other, which captures the net effect of small differences that result from calculating organic growth using different baselines for each period.

To eliminate the impact of currency fluctuations, we use recent U.S. dollar exchange rate data for the local non-U.S.-dollar currencies of the markets in which we operate to determine an estimated, or budgeted, exchange rate for such currencies. Revenues and service revenues in non-U.S.-dollar currencies from both the more recent period and the corresponding period of the prior year are then translated into U.S. dollars at the same budgeted exchange rates. Revenue Organic Growth and Service Revenue Organic Growth have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under IFRS.

The following table shows a reconciliation from reported growth on an IFRS basis to organic growth for revenue and service revenue for the Latin America segment:

i.The following change in perimeter impacts were eliminated to calculate revenue organic growth: a positive $235 million revenue impact in the year ended December 31, 2020, and a positive $604 million revenue impact in the year ended December 31, 2019 due to revenue generated by Telefonia Celular de Nicaragua S.A. which was consolidated as of May 16, 2019 and Grupo de Comunicaciones Digitales S.A. (formerly Telefonica Moviles Panama, S.A.) which we consolidated as of August 29, 2019. The impact in the year ended December 31, 2019 considers as well the revenue generated by Cable Onda which was consolidated as of December 13, 2018. The following change in perimeter impacts were eliminated to calculate service revenue organic growth: a positive $218 million service revenue impact in the year ended December 31, 2020 and a positive $590 million service revenue impact in the year ended December 31, 2019 due to service revenue generated by Telefonia Celular de Nicaragua S.A. which was consolidated as of May 16, 2019 and Grupo de Comunicaciones Digitales S.A. (formerly Telefonica Moviles Panama, S.A.), which we consolidated as of August 29, 2019. The impact in the year ended December 31, 2019 considers as well the service revenue generated by Cable Onda which was consolidated as of December 13, 2018.

ii.The following foreign exchange fluctuation impacts were eliminated to calculate revenue organic growth: a negative $226 million revenue impact in the year ended December 31, 2020, and a negative $283 million revenue impact in the year ended December 31, 2019. The following foreign exchange fluctuation impacts were eliminated to calculate service revenue organic growth: a negative $212 million service revenue impact in the year ended December 31, 2020, and a negative $263 million service revenue impact in the year ended December 31, 2019.

iii.The following other impacts related to changes for comparative purposes were eliminated to calculate revenue organic growth: a negative $3 million revenue impact in the year ended December 31, 2020, a positive $6 million revenue impact in the year ended December 31, 2019. The following other impacts related to changes for comparative purposes were eliminated to calculate service revenue organic growth: a negative $3 million service revenue impact in the year ended December 31, 2020, and a positive $5 million service revenue impact in the year ended December 31, 2019.

Critical accounting policies
The preparation of our financial statements requires management to use judgment in applying accounting policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events, actions and best estimates as of a specified date, and actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates. Areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are described in “Introduction— Judgments and critical estimates” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements, and in the notes referenced therein.
For a description of new or amended IFRS accounting standards to which we are subject, see “Introduction— New and amended IFRS accounting standards” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements.

B.    Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
The Millicom Group’s sources of funds are cash from operations, internal and external financing as well as proceeds from the disposal of assets. The Millicom Group finances its operations centrally at the MIC S.A. level or alternatively, where it deems it more cost effective to do so, at the operational level.
In particular, we seek to finance the costs of deploying and expanding our fixed and mobile networks mainly at the operating level on a country-by-country basis, utilizing credit facilities provided by banks and finance leases, obtaining financing from the debt capital markets, and seeking funding from export credit agencies and development financial institutions such as the InterAmerican Development Bank and the International Finance Corporation.
If we decide to acquire other businesses, we expect to fund these acquisitions from cash resources, borrowings under existing credit facilities and, if necessary, through new borrowings, including under new credit facilities or issuances of debt securities, though we may issue equity also to raise funds.
As of December 31, 2020, $305 million of the Millicom Group’s cash and cash equivalents balance was at the holdings level and a further $570 million was at the operating subsidiaries level. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, $696 million and $145 million of the Millicom Group’s cash and cash equivalents balance was at the holdings level and a further $468 million and $382 million was at the operating subsidiaries level.
If funds at the foreign operating subsidiary level are repatriated, taxes on each type of repatriation and each country would need to be accrued and paid, where applicable.
As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our total consolidated indebtedness excluding lease liabilities was $5,691 million and $5,972 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2018 our total consolidated outstanding debt and other financing was $4,580 million.
We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents, borrowings and funds from our operating subsidiaries will be sufficient to meet our projected operating and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Cash upstreaming
Progressive improvement in operating and financial performance of our operations has enabled the upstreaming of excess cash to MIC S.A. This is accomplished through a combination of dividends, fees and shareholder loan repayments.
The following table sets forth cash upstreamed to MIC S.A. from our subsidiaries and joint ventures for the periods presented:
December 31,
2020 2019 2018
(U.S. dollars in millions)
Subsidiaries 392  346  594 
Joint ventures 98  261  263 
Total 490  606  857 
In each case, the upstreamed cash was principally used to cover corporate center expenses, service corporate debt, pay corporate center taxes and pay the group dividend.
Some of our operating subsidiaries and joint ventures have covenants on debt outstanding that impose restrictions on their ability to upstream cash to MIC S.A. As a result of these restrictions, significant cash or cash equivalent balances may be held from time to time at our operating subsidiaries and joint ventures.
Cash flows
Set forth below is a comparative discussion of our cash flows, which includes cash flows from discontinued operations.

67


Years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
For the year ended December 31, 2020, cash provided by operating activities was $821 million, compared to $801 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase is mainly due to lower working capital during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019.
Cash used in investing activities was $495 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $1,502 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. In the year ended December 31, 2020, Millicom used $10 million in the acquisition of subsidiaries, $622 million to purchase property, plant and equipment and $202 million to purchase intangible assets and licenses, and these items were partially offset by proceeds of $71 million in dividends from joint ventures, $10 million from the disposal of subsidiaries, $197 million from the disposal of equity investments and $9 million from the sale of property, plant and equipment such as towers. Cash used in investing activities was $1,502 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. In the year ended December 31, 2019, Millicom used $1,014 million in the acquisition of subsidiaries, net of cash acquired (mobile operations in Panama and Nicaragua), $736 million to purchase property, plant and equipment and $171 million to purchase intangible assets and licenses, and these items were partially offset by proceeds of $237 million in dividends from joint ventures, $111 million from the disposal of subsidiaries (mainly Chad), $25 million from disposal of equity investments and $24 million from the sale of property, plant and equipment such as towers.
Cash used in financing activities was $598 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $1,355 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. In the year ended December 31, 2020, we paid no dividend, used $10 million for share repurchases, and repaid debt of $1,744 million and lease capital of $116 million while raising funds of $1,470 million through new financing. In the year ended December 31, 2019, we paid $268 million to shareholders in dividends (ordinary dividend of $2.64 per share) and repaid debt of $1,157 million and lease capital of $107 million while raising funds of $2,900 million through new financing.

Remuneration of Executive Management
1.Compensation Committee’s role
This report describes the remuneration philosophy, and related policy and guidelines, as well as the governance structures and processes in place. It also sets out the remuneration of Directors, as well as compensation of the Global Senior Management for the current and prior financial reporting years.

1.1 Role of Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee monitors and evaluates programs for variable remuneration to the senior management, both ongoing programs and those that have ended during the year and monitors and evaluates the application of the guidelines for remuneration to the Board and senior management that the shareholders' meeting has established, as well as the current remuneration structures and levels in the Company. The Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the compensation of the CEO and his direct reports; approves all
75


equity plans and grants; and manages Executive Team succession planning. Final approval of the CEO remuneration requires Board approval.

The evaluation of the CEO is conducted by the Compensation Committee. The evaluation criteria and the results of the evaluation are then discussed by the Chairman with the entire Board. In 2020, the Board considered that the CEO provided exceptional leadership for the Company in the face of the COVID-19 crisis. In evaluating his performance as "Exceeds" the Board took into account the way in which he rapidly refocused the business from revenue growth to protecting customers, employees and cashflow. Together with achievement on the financial targets discussed below, the total bonus achievement for the CEO was at 110.9% of target ($2,602,262 compared to $2,855,020 for 2019 performance). The Chairman of the Board conveyed the results of the review and evaluation to the CEO.
Guidelines and policy for senior management remuneration are approved by the shareholders at the AGM. For 2021, per the European Union Shareholders Rights Directive II, a Remuneration Report will be submitted for approval by shareholders at the AGM in May 2021.

1.2 Compensation Committee Charter

2. Our Compensation Philosophy and Core Principles

The philosophy, guidelines, objectives, and policy applicable to remuneration of the Global Senior Management Team were approved by the shareholders (item 20) of the AGM held on June 25, 2020.

2.1 Core principles
The Compensation Committee worked using the following objectives for Global Senior Management Team's compensation.

77


What we strive for What it means
Competitive and fair Levels of pay and benefits to attract and retain the right people.
Drive the right behaviors Reward policy and practices drive behaviors that support our Company strategy and business objectives.
Shareholder alignment Variable compensation plans support a culture of entrepreneurship and performance, and incorporate both short- term and longer-term financial and operational metrics strongly correlated to the creation of shareholder wealth. Long-term incentives are designed to maintain commitment over the long term and ensure the interests of our Global Senior Management Team are aligned with those of shareholders.
Pay for Performance Total reward structured around pay in line with performance, providing the opportunity to reward strong corporate and individual performance. A significant proportion of compensation of top management is variable (at risk) and based on measures of personal and company performance directly attributable to short-term and longer-term value creation.
Transparent
Millicom is committed to expanding external transparency, including disclosure around pay for performance, linkages to value creation etc. We are also investing in HR information systems in order to facilitate the measurement and internal communication related to incentive composition including performance metrics, pay equity, goal setting, and pay for performance relationships.
Market competitive and representative remuneration Compensation is designed to be market competitive and representative of the seniority and importance of roles, responsibilities and geographical locations of individuals (with the majority of the Global Senior Management Team roles located in the United States).
Retention of key talent Variable compensation plans include a significant portion of share based compensation, pay-out of which is also conditional on future employment with the Company for three year rolling periods, starting on the grant date.
Executive management to be "invested" Global Senior Management Team, through Millicom’s share ownership guidelines, are required to reach and maintain a significant level of personal ownership of Millicom shares.

In addition, to drive the right behaviors and ensure expectations are aligned, we communicate clearly to our employees what we do and do not do when it comes to compensation. A summary is set out in the table below:

78


What we do What we don't do
Align pay and performance. No special executive perquisites.
We have a substantial majority of executive pay at risk, based on a mix of absolute and relative financial and share price performance metrics. No hedging of Company stock by executives.
We impose limits on maximum incentive payouts. No dividends or dividend equivalents on unearned PSUs or RSUs.
Engage in a rigorous target-setting process for incentive metrics. No tax gross-ups related to change in control.
Threshold in our STI is set to pay only at 95% and above levels of performance.
 
We have robust share ownership guidelines for our top 50 executives.  
“Double-trigger” change in control provisions in equity awards.  
We have clawback policies that apply to our performance based incentive plans.  
Independent compensation consultant retained by the Compensation Committee.  

2.2 Elements of Executive pay

Compensation for the Global Senior Management Team in 2020 comprised a Base Salary, a Short-Term Incentive (”STI”) and a Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTI”) together with pension contributions and other benefits (e.g. healthcare).
Salary

Pay Element Purpose Maximum Opportunity
Purpose and link to strategy Designed to be market competitive to attract and retain talent No absolute maximum has been set for Executive Team salaries. The Committee considers increases on a case by case basis based on peer comparison. Pay increases usually reflect a combination of role and responsibilities, local market conditions and individual performance.
Operational Execution Paid monthly in cash in U.S. dollars or the home currency of the Executive The Compensation Committee aims to set salaries for the Executive Team at the median of the peer group
Reviewed by the Compensation Committee every March
 
79



STI    
Pay Element Purpose Payout Opportunity
Purpose and link to strategy The STI links reward to key business targets (70%) and individual contribution (30%) Below 95% achievement of business targets the award falls to 0%. The threshold achievement is 95% of target resulting in a payout of 80%. The opportunity is 200% for the achievement of 110%
The STI provides alignment with shareholders’ interests through the provision of 50% of the payment delivered in share units deferred over three years ("DSP") for senior leadership team. The DSP is awarded upon achievement of the performance targets and with 30% paid after one year, 30% after the second year and 40% after the third year of the grant date. The target achievement for:
CEO – 200%
CFO – 150%
These plans help to incentivize and motivate to execute strategic plans in operational decision making to achieve short-term performance goals impacting performance and enhancing the value of the Company. Maximum achievement:
CEO – 400%
CFO – 300%
The financial and operational targets are;
Service Revenue
20%
EBITDA
20%
Cashflow (OFCFaL)
20%
Transactional Net Promoter Score (tNPS)
10%
Personal Performance
30%
Benchmarking Our STI is a key component of the Millicom group culture. We benchmark to peer companies within the U.S. and Latin America Each year the Compensation Committee determines the annual STI opportunity for the Executive Team.

80


LTI    
Pay Element Purpose Payout Opportunity
Purpose and link to strategy The LTI links an important part of overall Global Senior Management Team compensation with the interests of our shareholders
For financial metrics, below 80% achievement the award falls to 0%. In the event the Company achieves between 80% and 120% of the target, the corresponding portion of the grant will be adjusted in linear pro rata of the achievement starting at a payout of 0% at an achievement of 80%, up to a maximum value of 200% if target achievement is 120% or higher. For relative total shareholder return (TSR) no award is made for performance below
peer group median. Achieving TSR performance at median or above of a pre-determined peer the grant will be adjusted in linear pro rata of the achievement starting at a payout of 100%, up to a maximum value of 200% if target achievement is 120% or higher
This plan serves the purpose of aligning Global Senior Management Team longer-term incentives with the longer-term interests of shareholders, encouraging long-term value creation, retention and management’s focus on long term value

Millicom emphasizes the One Team mentality – by maintaining unified goals and objectives in the long-term incentive program for the Global Senior Management Team with the purpose of driving the successful achievement of three-year performance goals designed to enhance long-term value of the Company
81


Operational Execution The LTI is a performance-based share units plan (“PSP”) whereby share units awards granted fully vest at the end of a three-year period, subject to achievement against performance measures and fulfillment of conditions. The target achievement for:
CEO - 480%
CFO - 175%
LTI payouts are typically in share units and based on company three-year cash flow, and revenue targets approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board, as well as to shareholder return.
Performance Share Units Plan (PSP)
The maximum achievement for:
CEO – 960%
CFO – 350%

The PSP financial targets are:

Service Revenue 25%
OFCFaL (Operating Free Cash Flow) 50%
Relative TSR 25%

The PSP pays out / is settled in shares at the end of 3 years.
*For 2021 LTI we plan to use OCFaL (Operating Cash Flow after Leases) in lieu of OFCF aL (Operating Free Cash Flow after Leases) and include a portion of the grant as Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) following US market practice, which will also vest at the end of the corresponding three-year period
Benchmarking Our LTI is a key component of the Millicom group culture. Each year the Compensation Committee determines the annual LTI opportunity for the Executive Team.
We benchmark to peer companies within the US and Latin America
In addition, in order to ensure continued retention of key individuals during periods of uncertainty the Board also uses retention schemes. In 2021 the Board approved a Retention Scheme for a selected group of top management including the CEO and CFO.

2.3 Other Employment terms and conditions

Notice of termination: if the employment of a member of the Millicom’s Executive Team is terminated, a notice period of up to 12 months could potentially apply. The Board regularly reviews best practices in executive compensation and governance and revises policies and practices when appropriate. In 2019 Millicom revised its change in control agreements for eligible executives to include "double-trigger" provisions, which require an involuntary termination (in addition to change in control) for accelerated vesting of awards.

Deviations from the policy and guidelines: in special circumstances, the Board may deviate from the above policy and guidelines, for example additional variable remuneration in the case of exceptional performance.

2.4 Other executive compensation policies

In 2020, the Compensation Committee approved a Clawback Policy, where Millicom has adopted a policy that requires its Board of Directors’ Compensation Committee to seek recovery of incentive compensation awarded or paid to those officers covered under the policy, in the event that a restatement of Millicom’s audited and published financial statements is found to have resulted in the payment of compensation in excess of what would have been paid based on the restated operating and financial performance.

82


In addition, the Company’s Insider Trading Policy prohibits any hedging or speculative transactions in the Company’s shares, including the use of options and other derivatives. It also prohibits directors and employees from selling the Company’s stock short.

3. Key developments for 2020

In 2020, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was the overriding concern of the Compensation Committee. By necessity management had to take stringent actions to protect the health of employees, customers and partners. This inevitably meant that many of the business plans for the year, on which the performance targets were set, had to be shelved. As part of the actions taken, increases in annual pay, which were planned to take effect from April 1, 2020 were cancelled for the CEO and 120 of our Top Management team, and a hiring freeze was implemented. In addition, we implemented hazard pay, which sought to give a supplemental compensation to our employees who had to carry out some work in the field exposing themselves to additional risk.

Nonetheless, the Committee did not change any of the performance measures or targets for any of the “in-flight” incentive plans. The 2018 LTI vested in February 2021, reflected the achievement of the metrics including the COVID-19 impact.

With respect to the remaining in-flight plans, the 2019 and 2020 LTI plans, the impact of COVID-19 has made the achievement of those financial targets now much more uncertain and we have therefore implemented a Retention Plan to ensure key talent is retained during this period. The Compensation Committee has not implemented any other changes or adjustments to the targets or the metrics of our 2019 and 2020 LTI inflight plans.

3.1 Key elements of 2020 CEO and CFO pay

In 2020 the key elements of the CEO and CFO compensation, in line with the Remuneration Policy, were as follows;

***The sum of Annual Bonus and Deferred Share Units is the total for the Short-Term Incentive Award for the performance period. 2020 STI to be paid and granted in Q1 2021.
****LTIP is Performance Share Units granted in 2020.

The total Short-Term award for the CEO, CFO and other senior leadership team is split 50% in cash and 50% in share units deferred over a three-year period (“DSP”). The compensation for the CEO and CFO is heavily weighted to variable compensation in the form of share units vesting over a three-year period. As a result, total compensation as shown in the previous table may differ significantly relative to the actual realized compensation in any given year. The table below compares CEO total compensation to its actual realized compensation in the last three years.

3.3 Performance on STI 2020

As in previous years, the Annual Bonus is determined by a mixture of Business Performance factors and Individual Performance factors. The Business Performance Factors included performance measures of service revenue, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), operating free cash flow ("OFCF") and a customer satisfaction metric based on Net Promoter Score achievement. Use and relative weighting of financial performance target measures under the variable compensation rules are equal to all employees regardless of seniority or area of operation. This includes the CEO and the senior leadership team.

84



TIGO-20201231_G4.GIF
For the CEO and senior leadership team, a portion of the STI is paid in the form of deferred share units with a three-year pro-rated vesting, strengthening our pay for performance and retention incentives.
For the CEO, the achievement of the Individual Performance is summarized below and resulted in a “Exceeds” performance rating. Naturally a number of the original personal objectives were rapidly superseded by the onset of the pandemic, but the board determined that the CEO transitioned the Group rapidly to deal with the impact of COVID which informed the decision to apply an “Exceeds” performance rating.

Target Weighting Measure Outcome
Percentage achievement
Protect people 25  % Protection of staff and customers Outstanding response to the pandemic with universal policies and practices implemented quickly 50  %
Protect networks 25  % Protect the networks to deliver the broadband required by the communities Despite a 50% increase in traffic on the fixed network and high spikes on the mobile network all networks maintained high levels of resilience and connectivity 50  %
Protect the balance sheet 25  % Ensure liquidity and maintain the cashflows Liquidity remained strong throughout and actions taken to sustain the business delivered higher than expected cashflow 50  %
Protect shareholders 25  % Deliver the budget and improve the share price The budget was not achieved and the share price fell during the year. —  %

The CEO achieved 150% of his revised personal objectives which translated into a 45% payout in the personal performance component, taking the full STI award including the financial and operational targets to 110.9%.

For the CEO and other eligible DSP participants, the issuance of share units under the DSP is subject to shareholder approval at Millicom’s annual general meeting of shareholders (AGM). For those employees not participating in the DSP, or to the extent that the DSP is not approved by the AGM, the STI will be implemented as a cash-only bonus program.

Under the 2020 STI, 2021 DSP share units are granted in Q1 2021 and will vest (generally subject to the participant still being employed by the Millicom group) 30% in Q1 2022, 30% in Q1 2023 and 40% in Q1 2024. The vesting schedule is unchanged from the 2020 DSP.

3.4 Share Incentive Plans

Since 2016, Millicom has two types of plans, a DSP (STI) and a PSP (LTI). As part of the STI, the senior leadership team receives 50% of their payout in the form of deferred share units (DSP). Every year a group of key employees are selected to receive a granted of deferred share units (DSP).For the LTI, the Global Senior Management Team also participates in a performance share plan (PSP). The different plans are further detailed below.

Deferred share plan (issued from 2015 to 2018)

For this deferred awards plan, participants are granted share units based on past performance, with 16.5% of the share units vesting on January 1 of each of year one and two, and the remaining 67% on January 1 of year three. Vesting is conditional upon the participant remaining employed with MIC S.A. at each vesting date. Grants were made under the deferred awards plans in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 based, respectively, on financial results for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Deferred share plan (issued from 2019 to 2021)
85



For this deferred awards plan, participants are granted share units based on past performance, with 30% of the share units vesting on January 1 of each of year one and two, and the remaining 40% on January 1 of year three. Vesting is generally conditional upon the participant remaining employed with MIC S.A. at each vesting date. Grants were made under the deferred awards plans in 2019, 2020, and 2021 based, respectively, on financial results for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019, and 2020.

The 2021 DSP will be presented for approval until the 2021 AGM, once all final details, including maximum number of share units to be issued, are known. We expect that grants will be made under the DSP in 2021 based on financial results for the year ended December 31, 2020.
3.4.1 LTI (PSP)
Eligibility for participation in the LTI is limited to members of MIC S.A.’s Global Executive Management Team, which is defined by MIC S.A.’s internal role grading structure and consists of the CEO, EVPs, VPs and GMs. During 2020, 33 individuals were included in this group, including certain employees of the Guatemala and Honduras joint ventures. The 2020 LTI is a Performance Share Plan (“PSP”). Share units granted will vest 100% at the end of a three-year period, subject to performance conditions.

TIGO-20201231_G5.GIF

3.4.2 Award LTI 2020
A new plan was issued in 2020 in accordance with the Remuneration Policy guidelines designed to drive shareholder value through a focus on service revenue growth, cashflow generation and relative total shareholder return against a relevant peer group. The PSP2020 plan was approved by shareholders at the 2020 AGM :


Metric Weighting Performance target Performance measure
Service revenue 25  % Target growth A specific 3-year CAGR target
OFCF 50  % Target growth A specific 3-year CAGR target
TSR 25  % The Company TSR relative to a peer group between 2021 and 2023 At median - target payout; below median - nil; 20% above median - max
The peer group for the PSP 2020 is: America Movil, TIM Brazil, TEF Brazil, Entel Chile, Lilac, Telecom Argentina, Grupo Televisa, Megacable.


For the CEO and CFO the award of LTI 2020 is summarized below;

4. Remuneration approach for 2021

For 2021, the Board has proposed to continue with a consistent framework of STI and LTI with a few changes explained below. We also introduced of a Retention Plan for a selected group of top management.

For the CEO the On target and Maximum remuneration for 2021 is set out below;

TIGO-20201231_G6.GIF

At Target CEO Compensation is paid 71% in share units and 84% is variable compensation.

At Maximum CEO Compensation is paid 78% in share units and 91% is variable compensation.

4.1 Summary of key changes for 2021

We have made a number of changes to the 2021 remuneration plans to better focus on retention of key talent and the incentivization of a return to growth.

87


For the 2021 STI, in order to incentivize a fast return to financial performance we have steepened the curve on Financial Performance achievement. Financial Performance achievement is based on the budget approved by the Board with the achievement of the budget delivering 100% of the award and, at the maximum, 200%.

For the LTI 2021, the structure of the award remains consistent with 2020, although we have changed the definition of the cashflow target to Operating Cashflow after Leases. This adjusts for the impact of lease accounting to give a clearer view of the underlying operating cash generation of the business. In addition, we have removed changes in working capital and cash taxes as these have proved to have higher volatility.

TIGO-20201231_G7.GIF
Additionally, to reflect the need for retention and to align more with U.S. practice (which is where the majority of our Global Senior Management Team are recruited) we have added time vested Restricted Stock Units (“RSU’s”) as a component of the LTI 2021 representing 35% of the award. The RSU’s will vest at the end of three years.

We also increased the relative weighting of the rTSR from 15% to 20%, measured 10 trading days before / after December 31 of the last year of the corresponding three-year measurement period. We will measure the actual cumulative achievement against the 3-year cumulative targets for Service Revenue and Operating Cash Flow to better reflect the performance over the three-year period rather than simply the end point as is the case with a compound annual growth target.

The LTI 2021 is subject to approval by the AGM.

As noted above, the Board believed it necessary to introduce a Retention Plan in the light of the impact on future LTI awards as a consequence of the impact of COVID-19 on our business. The Retention Plan has been awarded to a selected group of executives, including the CEO and CFO. The plan is based on Market Stock Units (“MSU”) and is a performance based scheme where the outcome is dependent on the share price at the time of vesting.

The number of MSUs are determined on the basis of a share price at inception of $43.09 for Tranche 2022 and $47.00 for Tranche 2023. At the vesting date, the value of the MSU is determined by the 30-trading day average share price ending on June 30 2022 for Tranche 2022, and the 30-trading day average share price ending on June 30 2023 for Tranche 2023. For each Tranche, the payment is made in cash 12 months after those dates, provided the participant is still employed (subject to limited allowances for good leavers). For every participant, payment is capped at 150% of their Target MSU Award Value set up for each Tranche.

Participants of the Retention Plan are required to forfeit their awards under LTI 2019 and LTI 2020 in respect of the Financial targets, (Service Revenue Growth and Operating Cashflow), provided that the TSR component will continue to be active for these schemes.

5.2 Summary of shares owned vs target

Millicom’s share ownership policy sets out the Compensation Committee’s requirements on the Global Senior Management Team to retain and hold a personal holding of common shares in the Company in order to align their interests with those of our shareholders.

5.4 Board Compensation

Governance of Director Remuneration

Decisions on annual remuneration of Directors (“tantièmes”) are reserved by the Articles of Association to the general meeting of shareholders. Directors are prevented from voting on their own compensation. In accordance with resolution 16 of the AGM on June 25, 2020, the Nomination Committee of Millicom was instructed to propose Director remuneration for the period from the date of the 2020 AGM to the date of the AGM in 2021.

2020 Director Remuneration

During early 2020, in proposing Director Remuneration, the Nomination Committee, received input from an external compensation advisor, including market and peer benchmarking, and considered the frequency of meetings and complexity of Millicom’s business and governance structures. After consideration of these and other relevant aspects, the Nomination Committee proposed to keep the structure and amount of remuneration for each role for the Non-Executive Directors the same as the prior year.

a)Non-Executive Director Remuneration

Remuneration of the Non-Executive Directors comprises an annual fee and shares denominated in U.S. dollars. The remuneration is 100% fixed. Non-Executive Directors do not receive any fringe benefits, pensions or any form on variable remuneration. No remuneration was paid to any of the Non-Executive Directors in 2020 or 2019 from any other undertakings within the Millicom Group.

b)Executive Director Remuneration

Executive Directors do not receive any remuneration in their capacity as Directors.

Approval of 2020 Director Remuneration

The Nomination Committee’s proposal for Director remuneration was approved at the AGM on June 25, 2020.

C.    Board Practices
MIC SA has a Nomination Committee which is appointed by the major shareholders of MIC S.A. It is not a committee of the MIC S.A. Board. The Nomination Committee’s role is to propose decisions to the shareholders’ meeting in a manner which promotes the common interests of all shareholders. The Nomination Committee has a term of office commencing at the time of its formation each year and ending when a new Nomination Committee is formed. Nomination Committee proposals to the AGM include:
•    The number of members of the Board of Directors, the candidates to be elected or re-elected as Directors of the Board and Chairman of the Board and their remuneration;
•    Appointment and remuneration of the external auditor;
•    Proposal of the Chairman of the AGM; and
•    The procedure for the appointment of the Nomination Committee
Under the terms of the Procedure on Appointment of the Nomination Committee and Determination of the Committee, the Nomination Committee consists of at least three members, appointed by the largest shareholders of Millicom who wish to assert the right to appoint a member. In accordance with the resolution of the 2020 AGM, in consultation with the largest shareholders as of the last business day of June 2020, the current Nomination Committee was formed during October 2020. The members of the Nomination Committee are Mr. John Hernander, appointed by Nordea Investment Funds; Mr. Jan Andersson, appointed by Swedbank Roburt; Mr. Peter Guve, appointed by AMF Pensionsförsäkring AB; and Mr. Staley Cates appointed by Southeastern Asset Management, as well as Mr. José Antonio Ríos García as Chairman of the Board of Millicom. The Nomination Committee appointed Mr. John Hernander as Chairman at their first meeting.
MIC S.A.’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association provide that the Board of Directors must comprise at least six members. The members of the Board of Directors are elected at the AGM which, as required by MIC S.A.’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association and the Luxembourg law of August 10, 1915 on Commercial Companies (as amended), must be held within six months of the end of the fiscal year. At the AGM held June 25, 2020, the number of MIC S.A.’s directors was set at eight and the current directors and the Chairman were elected until the time of the next AGM. The next AGM is scheduled to be held on May 4, 2021.
MIC S.A.’s Board of Directors has developed, and continuously evaluates, work procedures in line with the corporate governance rules of the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance (the “Swedish Code”) applicable to listed companies. MIC S.A. is subject to the Swedish Code as a company with its shares listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm, where they trade in the form of SDRs. From January 9, 2019, MIC S.A. is subject to the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market in the US where its shares are traded.
MIC S.A.’s Board of Directors is responsible for Millicom’s strategy, financial objectives and operating plans and for oversight of governance. The Board of Directors also plans for management succession of the CEO and reviews plans for other senior management positions.
The Board of Directors selects the CEO, who is charged with the daily management of the Company and its business. The CEO is responsible for recruiting, and the Chairman of the Board is responsible for approving, the senior management of the Company. The Board reviews and approves plans for key senior management positions, and the Board supervises, supports and empowers the Executive Committee and monitors its performance. In addition to corporate law rules applicable in Luxembourg, the Swedish Code sets out that the division of work between the Board and the CEO is primarily set out in “The Rules of Procedure and Instruction to the CEO”.
The Board conducts an annual performance review process, wherein each Board member’s personal performance is also reviewed. The review process involves an assessment of the Board’s and its committees’ actions and activities during the year against the Board’s mandate as determined in the Board Charter (and those of its various committees). MIC S.A.’s Board of Directors also evaluates the performance of the CEO annually.
The work conducted by MIC S.A.’s Board of Directors is supported by the following committees:
•    the Audit Committee;
•    the Compensation Committee;
92


•    the Compliance and Business Conduct Committee.
The Board and each of its Committees have written approved charters which set out the objectives, limits of authority, organization and roles and responsibilities of the Board and its Committees.
Audit Committee. MIC S.A.’s Board of Directors has delegated to the Audit Committee, as reflected in its charter, the responsibilities for oversight of the robustness, integrity and effectiveness of financial reporting, risk management, internal controls, internal audit, the external audit process, as well as compliance with related laws and regulations. The Audit Committee focuses particularly on compliance with financial requirements, accounting standards and judgments, appointment and independence of the external auditors, transactions with related parties (including major shareholders), the effectiveness of the internal audit function, the Millicom Group’s approach to risk management and ensuring that an efficient and effective system of internal controls is in place. Ultimate responsibility for reviewing and approving MIC S.A.’s Annual Report and Accounts remains with the Board. The members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Eliasson (Chairman and financial expert), Ms. Erenbjerg, Mr. Thompson and Ms. Johnson.
Compensation Committee. Pursuant to its charter, the Compensation Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the compensation of the CEO and the other senior managers as well as management succession planning. The evaluation of the CEO is conducted by the Compensation Committee. The evaluation criteria and the results of the evaluation are then discussed by the Compensation Committee Chairman with the entire Board. The members of the Compensation Committee are Ms. Erenbjerg (Chair), Mr. Norling and Mr. Thompson.
The Board, based on guidelines by the Compensation Committee, proposes the remuneration of senior management. Remuneration of the CEO requires Board approval. The guidelines for remuneration of senior management, including STI and LTI, and the share-based incentive plans for Millicom’s employees are approved by the shareholders at the AGM.
Compliance and Business Conduct Committee. MIC S.A.’s Compliance and Business Conduct Committee oversees and makes recommendations to the Board regarding Millicom Group’s compliance programs and standards of business conduct. More specifically, the Compliance and Business Conduct Committee:
•    monitors the Millicom Group’s compliance program, including the activities performed by the compliance team and its interaction with the rest of the organization;
•    monitors the results of investigations resulting from cases brought through the Millicom Group’s ethics line or otherwise;
•    oversees allocation of resources and personnel to the compliance area;
•    assesses the Millicom Group’s performance in the compliance area; and
•    ensures that the Millicom Group maintains proper standards of business conduct.
The members of the Compliance and Business Conduct Committee are Mr. Almeida (Chairman), Ms. Johnson and Mr. Norling.
Code of Conduct. The Millicom Group’s Code of Conduct is adopted and approved by the Board of Directors. All directors, officers and employees must sign a statement acknowledging that they have read, understood and will comply with the Code of Conduct. Furthermore, all of our directors, officers and employees must complete an annual training on the Code of Conduct.
Directors’ Service Agreements. None of MIC S.A.’s current directors have entered into service agreements with the Millicom Group or any of its subsidiaries providing for benefits upon termination of their respective directorships.
NASDAQ corporate governance exemptions
As a foreign private issuer incorporated in Luxembourg with its principal listing on the Nasdaq Stockholm, Millicom follows the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, its “home country” for corporate governance practices, in lieu of the provisions of the Nasdaq Stock Market’s Marketplace Rule 5600 series that apply to the constitution of a quorum for any meeting of shareholders, the composition and independence requirements of the Nominations Committee and the Compensation Committee and the requirement to have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present. The Nasdaq Stock Market’s rules provide for a quorum of no less than 331/3% of
93


Millicom’s outstanding shares. However, Millicom’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association provide that no quorum is required. The Nasdaq Stock Market’s rules provide for the involvement of independent directors in the selection of director nominees. However, Millicom relies on its home country practices, in lieu of this requirement, which permit its director nominations committee to be comprised of shareholder representatives. See “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—C. Board Practices—Nomination Committee.” The Nasdaq Stock Market’s rules require each Compensation Committee member to be an independent director for purposes of the Nasdaq Stock Market’s Marketplace Rule 5605(d)(2). However, to preserve greater flexibility in who may be appointed to the Compensation Committee, Millicom will be relying on its home country practices, in lieu of this requirement, which do not require the Compensation Committee to be comprised solely of directors who qualify as independent for such purposes. The Nasdaq Stock Market’s rules require listed companies to have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present. However, Millicom follows its home country practices instead, which do not impose such a requirement.

D.    Employees
On average, the Millicom Group had approximately 21,419 employees in 2020, 22,375 employees in 2019 and 21,403 employees in 2018. Management believes that relations with the employees are good. Some of our employees belong to a union and approximately 17% of our employees participated in collective agreements on average during 2020. The temporary employees of the Company corresponded to 5% of the average total number of employees in 2020.

E.    Share Ownership
The table below sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common shares as of January 1, 2021, by our directors and senior management. For purposes of this table, a person is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares as of a given date which such person has the right to acquire within 60 days after such date. For purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares held by each person, or group of persons, named above on a given date, any security which such person or persons has the right to acquire within 60 days after such date is deemed to be outstanding, but is not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as otherwise indicated, the holders listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned by them. They have the same voting rights as all other holders of common shares.

ITEM 7. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A.    Major Shareholders
To the extent known to the Company, it is neither directly nor indirectly owned or controlled by another corporation, any government, or any other person. In addition, there are no arrangements, known to the Company, the operation of which may result in a change in its control in the future.
The table below sets out beneficial ownership of our common shares (directly or through SDRs), par value $1.50 each, by each person who beneficially owns more than 5% of our common stock at December 31, 2020.
Name of Shareholder
Common Shares
Percentage of Share Capital
Swedbank Robur Fonder AB (1)
9,954,857  9.8  %
(1) As of December 31, 2020, Swedbank Robur Fonder AB held 9,954,857 of our common shares (9.8% of common shares then outstanding). As of December 31, 2019, Swedbank Robur Fonder AB held 5,276,526 of our common shares (5.2% of common shares then outstanding). As of December 31, 2018, Swedbank Robur Fonder AB held 1,508,980 of our common shares (1.5% of common shares then outstanding).

    On November 7, 2019, the shareholders of Kinnevik, who held 37,835,438 of our common shares (37.2% of our shares then outstanding) as of December 31, 2018, agreed to distribute Kinnevik’s shareholding in Millicom to existing Kinnevik shareholders through a share redemption plan. Each ordinary share in Kinnevik (irrespective of share class) was entitled to one redemption share, and each redemption share was entitled to 0.1372 Millicom SDRs. The record date for the share split and the right to receive redemption shares was November 14, 2019, and since that date, Kinnevik is no longer a related party or shareholder in Millicom. The redemption shares were traded on Nasdaq Stockholm from and including November 15, 2019 to and including November 29, 2019. Millicom SDRs were paid out to the holders of redemption shares on December 3, 2019.
Except as otherwise indicated, the holders listed above (“holders”) have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned by them. The holders have the same voting rights as all other holders of MIC S.A. common stock. For purposes of this table, a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares as of a given date which such person or group of persons has the right to acquire within 60 days after such date. For purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares held by the holders on a given date, any security which such holder has the right to acquire within 60 days after such date (including shares which may be acquired upon exercise of vested portions of share options) is deemed to be outstanding, but is not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
Based upon the SDR ownership reported by Euroclear Sweden AB, as of December 31, 2020 there were 134 SDR holders in the United States holding 15,063,929 SDRs (representing 14.8% of the outstanding share capital as of such date). According to the records held by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“AST”) reported as of December 31, 2020, there were 82 shareholders in the United States holding 8,583,424 common shares (representing 8.4% of the outstanding share capital as of such date).
However, these figures may not be an accurate representation of the number of beneficial holders nor their actual location because most of the common shares and SDRs were held for the account of brokers or other nominees.

B.    Related Party Transactions
The disclosure as to related party transactions in our audited consolidated financial statements is in some respects broader than that required by Form 20-F. As required by Form 20-F, “related parties” includes enterprises that control, are controlled by or are under common control with MIC S.A., associates, individuals owning directly or indirectly an interest in the voting power of the Company that gives them significant influence over MIC S.A., close family members of such persons, key management personnel (including directors and senior management) and any enterprises in which a substantial interest in the voting power is owned, directly or indirectly, by certain of the persons listed above. For the purposes of note G.5 to our audited consolidated financial statements, related parties also includes the entities described below, which is beyond the scope of the Form 20-F definition. Nonetheless, for purposes of consistency of presentation, we use the broader definition of related parties used in our audited consolidated financial statements for purposes of this Item 7.B.
The Company conducts transactions with certain related parties on normal commercial terms and conditions. Below Millicom Group’s significant related parties:
Kinnevik AB (Kinnevik) and subsidiaries, Millicom’s previous principal shareholder until November 14, 2019, date on which Millicom SDRs were paid out to the shareholders of Kinnevik. See 'Introduction' note and note G.5. to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional details.

However, as from November 2019, Kinnevik no longer owns any beneficial interest in Millicom.
During 2019 and 2018 , the Company purchased services from Kinnevik subsidiaries including fraud detection, procurement and professional services. Transactions and balances with Kinnevik Group companies are disclosed under Other in the tables below.

(i) In October 2020, Millicom granted a shareholder loan of $193 million to Guatemala (out of which $39 million is due after more than one year as of December 31, 2020). The loan bears interests at 4% p.a. and is repayable by January 13, 2022, at the latest. Together with other shareholder and external financings, the proceeds were used to repay the $800 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due 2024 (note A.2.2.).
(ii) In November 2020, our operations in Honduras completed a shareholding restructuring whereby Telefonica Cellular S.A. acquired the shares of Navega S.A. de CV from its existing shareholders. The sale consideration will be payable in several installments with a final settlement in November 2023. As of December 31, 2020, $51 million out of a total receivable of $79 million is due after more than one year and therefore disclosed in non-current assets. The disposal also triggered the recognition of a net gain of $ 4 million, under ‘Other operating income (expenses), net’ in the Group's statement of income, corresponding to the portion of gain realized on the unrelated investors' interests in the joint venture (i.e. 33.33%).
(iii) In 2020, and as a result of the significant deterioration of the credit risk of AirtelTigo Ghana, combined with other unfavorable economic factors, Millicom concluded that this related party loan was underperforming and should be impaired. As a consequence, the Group fully impaired this receivable of $45 million during the year, disclosed under ' Other operating income (expenses), net' in the income statement.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

A.    Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information
Financial Statements
Consolidated financial statements are set forth under “Item 18. Financial Statements.”
Legal Proceedings
General litigation
In the ordinary course of business, Millicom is a party to various litigation or arbitration matters in each jurisdiction in which we operate. The principal categories of litigation to which we are subject include the following:
•    commercial claims, which include claims from third-party dealers, suppliers and customers alleging breaches or improper terminations of commercial agreements, or the charging of fees not in compliance with applicable law;
•    regulatory claims, which consist primarily of consumer claims, as well as complaints regarding the locations of antennae and other equipment; and
•    labor and employment claims, including claims for wrongful termination and unpaid severance or other benefits.
By category of litigation, commercial claims account for a majority of the litigation matters to which we are party by both number of cases and total potential exposure based on the amount claimed.
By geography, litigation matters in Colombia represent a majority of the litigation matters to which we are party by both number of cases and total potential exposure. This is due to the size of our operations in Colombia, the comparatively high general prevalence of litigation there, and consumer protection and quality of service regulations which facilitate claims against telecommunications companies.
For additional details, see note G.3.1 of our audited consolidated financial statements.
Tax disputes
In addition to the litigation matters describe above, we have ongoing tax claims and disputes in most of our markets. Generally, these disputes relate to differences with the tax authorities following their completion of audits for prior tax years dating back to 2007 or challenges by the tax authorities to our interpretation of tax regulations. Examples of these challenges and disputes relate to issues such as the following:

In many instances, the tax authorities seek to impose substantial penalties and interest charges while the disputed amounts remain unpaid, as we seek resolution through negotiations or court proceedings, resulting in significantly higher total claims than we expect the tax authorities will receive once the matter has been finally resolved. We work with the local tax authorities to substantiate claims or negotiate settlement amounts to close an audit, except in those instances where we are challenging or appealing the tax authorities’ claims.

Dividend and Share Buyback Program(s)
Holders of MIC S.A. common shares (and SDRs) are entitled to receive dividends proportionately when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors and approved by shareholders at the AGM, subject to Luxembourg legal reserve requirements, as well as restrictions in the agreements governing our indebtedness.
In 2020, with the aim of preserving liquidity and financial flexibility, the Company's Board of Directors determined that no dividend be paid, and recommended that profit for the 2019 year be allocated to unappropriated net profit carried forward. This proposal was approved by shareholders at the AGM. During the period from February 28, 2020 to April 3, 2020, Millicom repurchased an aggregate amount of 350,000 shares (in the form of Swedish Depository receipts) under the share repurchase plan approved at the 2019 AGM. No shares have been repurchased under the share repurchase plan approved at the 2020 AGM.

Not applicable to Annual Report filing.

B.    Memorandum and Articles of Association
Articles of Association
Registration and Object
Millicom International Cellular S.A. is a public limited liability company (société anonyme) governed by the Luxembourg law of August 10, 1915 on Commercial Companies (as amended), incorporated on June 16, 1992, and registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies’ Register (Registre du Commerce et des Sociétés de Luxembourg) under number B 40.630.
The articles of association of MIC S.A. define its purpose inter alia as follows: “... to engage in all transactions pertaining directly or indirectly to the acquisition and holding of participating interests, in any form whatsoever, in any
100


Luxembourg or foreign business enterprise, including but not limited to, the administration, management, control and development of any such enterprise”. At the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on January 7, 2019, the shareholders adopted the Amended and Restated Articles of Association, filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1..
Directors
Restrictions on Voting
If a director has a personal material interest in a proposal, arrangement or contract to be decided by MIC S.A., the amended and restated articles of association provide that the validity of the decision of MIC S.A. is not affected by a conflict of interest existing with respect to a director. However, any such personal interest must be disclosed to the Board of Directors ahead of the vote and the relevant director shall abstain from considering and voting on the relevant issue. Such conflict of interest must be reported to the next general meeting of shareholders.
Compensation and Nomination
The decision on annual remuneration of directors (“tantièmes”) is reserved by the amended and restated articles of association to the general meeting of shareholders. Directors are therefore prevented from voting on their own compensation. However, directors may vote on the number of shares they own, including the shares allotted under any share based compensation scheme.
The Nomination Committee makes recommendations for the election of directors to the AGM. At the AGM, shareholders may vote for or against the directors proposed or may abstain. The Nomination Committee reviews and recommends the directors’ fees which are approved by the shareholders at the AGM.
In proposing persons to be elected as directors at the AGM, the Company must comply with the nomination committee rules of the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance, so long as such compliance does not conflict with applicable mandatory law or regulation or the mandatory rules of any stock exchange on which the Company's shares are listed. In the event that the Company does not comply with the nomination committee rules of the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance and a committee of the Board is established to propose persons to be elected as directors at the AGM, any Shareholder holding at least 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, excluding treasury shares, has the right to designate: (1) one of the then-serving directors to be a member of such committee, so long as such designation and the director so designated meet the requirements of any applicable mandatory law or regulation or the mandatory rules of any stock exchange on which the Company's shares are listed, and (2) one person, who may or may not be a director, to attend any meeting of such committee as an observer, without the right to vote at such meeting, so long as such attendance does not conflict with applicable mandatory law or regulation or the mandatory rules of any stock exchange on which the Company's shares are listed. Any designation made pursuant to this provision lapses upon such designating Shareholder holding less than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, excluding treasury shares.
Borrowing Powers
The directors generally have unrestricted borrowing powers on behalf of and for the benefit of MIC S.A.
Age Limit
There is no age limit for being a director of MIC S.A. Directors could be elected for a maximum period of six years, but the Company has followed the practice of electing them annually at the AGM.
Share Ownership Requirements
Directors need not be shareholders in MIC S.A.
Shares
Rights Attached to the Shares
MIC S.A. has only one class of shares, common shares, and each share entitles its holder to:
•    one vote at the general meeting of shareholders,
•    receive dividends when such distributions are decided, and
•    share in any surplus left after the payment of all the creditors in the event of liquidation. There is a preferential subscription right pursuant to Luxembourg corporate law under any share or rights issue for cash, unless the
101


Board of Directors, within the limits specified in the amended and restated articles of association, or an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, as the case may be, restricts the exercise thereof.
Redemption of Shares
The amended and restated articles of association provide for the possibility and set out the terms for the repurchase by MIC S.A. of its own shares, which repurchase must be approved in accordance with applicable law and the rules of any exchange on which MIC S.A.’s shares are listed. A share repurchase plan was approved at our 2020 AGM authorizing the Board of Directors, at any time between June 25, 2020 and the date of the 2023 AGM, provided the required levels of distributable reserves are met by MIC S.A. at that time, either directly or through a subsidiary or a third party, to engage in a share repurchase plan of MIC S.A.’s common shares to be carried out for all purposes allowed or which would become authorized by the laws and regulations in force, and in particular the Luxembourg law of 10 August 1915 on commercial companies, as amended (the “Share Repurchase Plan”) by using its available cash reserves.
The maximum number of Shares that may be acquired in each of the periods between (i) June 25, 2020 up until December 31, 2021, and (ii) January 1, 2022 and the date of the annual general meeting to be held in 2023, may not exceed the higher of 10,000,000 Shares or ten per cent (10%) of Millicom's outstanding share capital as per January 1, 2020 for the first period, and as per December 31, 2021 for the second period; provided further that the maximum number of Shares that may be acquired under this three-year Share Repurchase Plan shall not exceed 15,000,000 Shares in total.
For Shares repurchased on a regulated market where the shares are traded, the price per Share shall be within the registered interval for the share price prevailing at any time (the so called spread), that is, the interval between the highest buying rate and the lowest selling rate of the Shares on the market on which the purchases are made. For any other Shares repurchased, the price per share may not exceed 110% of the most recent closing trading price of the Shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market in the U.S., provided that the minimum repurchase price is above SEK 50 (or USD equivalent).
The Share Repurchase Plan may not have the effect of reducing Millicom's net assets and reserves under the limit required by the 1915 Law or the Articles of Association of the Company. Only fully paid-up Shares may be included in repurchase transactions made under the Share Repurchase Plan.
Sinking Funds
MIC S.A. shares are not subject to any sinking fund.
Liability for Further Capital Calls
All of the issued shares in MIC S.A.’s capital are fully paid up. Accordingly, none of MIC S.A.’s shareholders are liable for further capital calls.
Principal Shareholder Restrictions
There are no provisions in the amended and restated articles of association that discriminate against any existing or prospective holder of MIC S.A.’s shares as a result of such shareholder owning a substantial number of shares.
Changes to Shareholder’s Rights
In order to change the rights attached to the shares of MIC S.A., an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders must be duly convened and held before a Luxembourg notary, as under Luxembourg law such change requires an amendment of the articles of association. A quorum of presence of at least 50% of the shares present or represented is required at a meeting held after the first convening notice, whereas there is no quorum of presence requirement at a meeting held after the second convening notice. Any decision must be taken by a majority of two thirds of the shares present or represented at the general meeting. Any change to the obligations attached to shares may be adopted only with the unanimous consent of all shareholders.
Shareholders’ Meetings
General meetings of shareholders are convened by convening notice published in the Luxembourg Official Gazette (Journal des Publications, Recueil Electronique des Sociétés et Associations), in a Luxembourg newspaper, in short version in the Swedish newspaper SvD, as a press release and on the Millicom website. According to article 18 of the amended and restated articles of association of MIC S.A., the Board of Directors determines in the convening notice the formalities to be observed by each shareholder for admission to the AGM. An AGM must be convened every year within six months of the end of the financial year, at the registered office of the Company or any other place in Luxembourg as may be specified in the convening notice. Other meetings can be convened as necessary.
102


Limitation on Securities Ownership
There are no limitations imposed under Luxembourg law or the amended and restated articles of association on the rights of non-resident or foreign entities to own shares of the Company or to hold or exercise voting rights on shares of the Company.
Change of Control
There are no provisions in the amended and restated articles of association of the Company that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of MIC S.A. and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving the Company, or any of its subsidiaries.
Luxembourg laws impose the mandatory disclosure of an important participation in Millicom and any change in such participation.
Disclosure of Shareholder Ownership
As required by the Luxembourg law on transparency obligations of January 11, 2008, as amended (the “Transparency Law”), a shareholder who acquires or disposes of shares, including depositary receipts representing shares in the Company’s capital must notify the Company’s Board of Directors of the proportion of shares held by the relevant person as a result of the acquisition or disposal, where that proportion reaches, exceeds or falls below the thresholds referred to in the Transparency Law. As per the Transparency Law, the above also applies to the mere entitlement to acquire or to dispose of, or to exercise, voting rights in any of the cases referred to in the Transparency Law.

As a result of such termination, Telefonica filed a complaint against Millicom followed by an amended complaint, which seeks unspecified damages, costs, and fees.

E.    Taxation
Luxembourg Tax Considerations
The following information is of a general nature only on certain tax considerations effective in Luxembourg in relation to holders of shares in respect of the ownership and disposition of shares in MIC S.A., and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that might be relevant to an investment decision in such company. It is included herein solely for preliminary information purposes and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice. The information contained herein is based on the laws presently in force in Luxembourg on the date hereof, and thus subject to any change in law that may take effect after such date. Shareholders in MIC S.A. should therefore consult their own professional advisers as to the effects of state, local or foreign laws, including Luxembourg tax law, to which they may be subject.
Please be aware that the residence concept used under the respective headings below applies for Luxembourg income tax assessment purposes only. Any reference in the present section to a tax, duty, levy, impost or other charge or withholding of a similar nature, or to any other concepts, refers to Luxembourg tax law or concepts only. Further, any reference to a resident corporate shareholder/taxpayer includes non-resident corporate shareholders/taxpayers carrying out business activities through a permanent establishment, a permanent representative or a fixed place of business in Luxembourg to which assets would be attributable. Also, please note that a reference to Luxembourg income tax encompasses corporate income tax (impôt sur le revenu des collectivités), municipal business tax (impôt commercial communal), a solidarity surcharge (contribution au fonds pour l’emploi), as well as personal income tax (impôt sur le revenu) generally. Corporate shareholders may further be subject to net wealth tax (impôts sur la fortune), as well as other duties, levies or taxes. Corporate income tax, municipal business tax, as well as the solidarity surcharge invariably apply to most corporate taxpayers resident in Luxembourg for tax purposes. Individual taxpayers are generally subject to personal income tax and the solidarity surcharge. Under certain circumstances, where an individual taxpayer acts in the course of the management of a professional or business undertaking, municipal business tax may apply as well.
(a)    Luxembourg withholding tax on dividends paid on MIC S.A. shares
Dividends distributed by MIC S.A. will in principle be subject to Luxembourg withholding tax at the rate of 15%.
Luxembourg resident corporate holders
No dividend withholding should apply on dividends paid by MIC S.A. to a Luxembourg resident company if the conditions of Article 147 of the Luxembourg income tax law (“LITL”) are met, meaning that the Luxembourg residence corporate holder should be a collective entity covered by article 2 of the EU Parent Subsidiary (Council Directive 2011/96/EU of 30 November 2011), a fully taxable (capital) company not listed in the appendix to article 166 LITL, paragraph 10, the Luxembourg State, a Luxembourg commune or a Luxembourg syndicate of communes or an undertaking of a Luxembourg public body, holding shares which meets the qualifying participation test (10% of the share capital or acquisition price of the shares of at least € 1.2 million held or committed to be held for a minimum of 12 months).
Luxembourg resident individual holders
Luxembourg withholding tax on dividends paid by MIC S.A. to a Luxembourg resident individual holder may entitle such holder to a tax credit for the tax withheld.
Non-Luxembourg resident holders
Non-Luxembourg resident shareholders of MIC S.A. should benefit from a withholding tax exemption if the conditions of Article 147 LITL are met, meaning 10% shareholding or share acquisition price of € 1.2 million, 12 months holding period and that the non-Luxembourg resident should either be (i) an entity which fall within the scope of Article 2 of the European Council Directive 2011/96/EU, as amended (the “Parent-Subsidiary Directive”) and which are not excluded to benefit from this directive under its mandatory general anti-avoidance rule as implemented in Luxembourg, or (ii) corporate holder subject to a tax comparable to Luxembourg corporate income tax and which are resident in a country having concluded a double tax treaty with Luxembourg (such as the United States), or (iii) corporate holder subject to a tax comparable to Luxembourg corporate income tax resident in a State member of the European Economic Area other than a Member State of the EU of (iv) corporate holder resident in Switzerland subject to corporate income tax in Switzerland without benefiting from a tax exemption.
Non-Luxembourg resident holders which do not fall within the scope of Article 147 LITL withholding tax exemption but resident in a State with which Luxembourg has concluded a double tax treaty may claim a reduced withholding tax under the conditions set forth in the relevant double tax treaty.
105


In the case the non-Luxembourg resident holder fulfills the requirements to benefit from a withholding tax exemption or is entitled to a reduced withholding tax under an applicable double tax treaty but has been subject to this 15% withholding tax it may claim a refund from the Luxembourg tax administration.
(b)    Luxembourg income tax on dividends and capital gains received from MIC S.A. shares
Fully taxable resident corporate shareholders
For resident corporate taxpayers, dividends (and other payments) derived from shares held in a company and capital gains realized on the sale of shares in a company are, in principle, fully taxable and thus subject to a combined corporate income tax rate of 24.49% (for resident corporate taxpayers established in Luxembourg City), except that, as described in further detail below, (i) dividends can benefit either from a full exemption if the conditions of article 166 LITL are met or from a 50% exemption if the conditions of Article 115 (15a) LITL are met, and (ii) capital gains realized by resident corporate shareholders are fully exempt if the conditions of the Grand Ducal Decree of December 21, 2002, (as amended) are fulfilled.
Under the Luxembourg participation exemption on dividends as implemented by Article 166 LITL, dividends derived from shares may be exempt from income tax at the level of the resident corporate shareholder if cumulatively, (i) the shareholder is either (a) a fully taxable resident collective entity taking one of the forms listed in the appendix to paragraph 10 of Article 166 LITL, (b) a fully taxable resident corporation not listed in the appendix to paragraph 10 of Article 166 LITL, (c) a permanent establishment of a collective entity referred to in Article 2 of the Parent-Subsidiary Directive, (d) a permanent establishment of a corporation resident in a State with which the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has signed an agreement in an attempt to avoid double taxation, or (e) a permanent establishment of a corporation or a cooperative society resident in a State party to the European Economic Area Agreement other than a Member State of the European Union, (ii) the subsidiary is either (a) a collective entity referred to in Article 2 of the Parent-Subsidiary Directive, (b) a fully taxable resident corporation not listed in the appendix to paragraph (10) of Article 166 LITL, or (c) a non-resident corporation fully subject to a tax corresponding to the Luxembourg corporate income tax, and (iii) the shareholder has held or commits itself to hold, for an uninterrupted period of at least 12 months , a participation representing at least 10% in the share capital of the subsidiary or an acquisition price of at least €1.2 million. Liquidation proceeds are deemed to be a received dividend and may be exempt under the same conditions. The participation through an entity that is transparent for Luxembourg income tax purposes is to be considered as direct participation in proportion to the amount held in the net assets invested in that tax transparent entity.
The Luxembourg participation exemption regime may be denied if the income is (i) deductible in the other EU Member State paying such income or (ii) paid as part of an arrangement or a series of arrangements that, having been put into place with the main purpose or one of the main purposes of obtaining a tax advantage that defeats the object or purpose of the Parent-Subsidiary Directive, is not genuine having regard to all relevant facts and circumstances. For the purposes of this anti-avoidance rule, an arrangement, which may comprise several steps or parts, or a series of arrangements, is considered as not genuine to the extent that it is not put into place for valid commercial reasons that reflect economic reality.
Expenses, including interest expenses and impairments, in direct economic relation with the shareholding held by a resident corporate shareholder should not be deductible for income tax purposes up to the amount of any exempt dividend derived during the same financial year. Expenses exceeding the amount of the exempt dividend received from such shareholding during the same financial year should remain deductible for income tax purposes.
If the conditions of the Luxembourg participation exemption, as described above, are not met, 50% of the gross amount of dividends may however be exempt from corporate income tax in accordance with Article 115 (15a) LITL if such dividends are received from (i) a fully taxable corporation resident in Luxembourg, (ii) a corporation (a) resident in a State with which the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has signed an agreement in an attempt to avoid double taxation, and (b) fully subject to a tax corresponding to the Luxembourg corporate income tax, or (iii) a company resident in a Member State of the European Union and referred to in Article 2 of the Parent-Subsidiary Directive.
Capital gains realized on shares by resident corporate shareholders may be exempt from corporate income tax if the conditions mentioned above under the Luxembourg participation exemption on dividends are met, except that the acquisition price must be of at least €6 million instead of €1.2 million. The participation through an entity that is transparent for Luxembourg income tax purposes is to be considered as direct participation in proportion to the amount held in the net assets invested in that tax transparent entity. Taxable gains are determined as being the difference between the price for which the shares have been disposed of and the lower of their cost or book value.
Capital gains realized upon the disposal of shares should remain taxable for an amount corresponding to the sum of the expenses related to the shareholding and impairments recorded on the shareholding that reduced the taxable basis of the resident corporate shareholder in the year of disposal or in previous financial years.
106


Resident corporate shareholders with a special tax regime
A resident corporate shareholder that is governed by the law of May 11, 2007, on Family Estate Management Companies (as amended) or by the Law of February 13, 2007, on Specialized Investment Funds (as amended) or by the Law of December 17, 2010, on Undertakings for Collective Investment (as amended) or by the law of July 23, 2016, on Reserved Alternative Investment Funds not having the exclusive purpose of investing in risk capital, is not subject to Luxembourg income tax; thus, neither dividends (and other payments) derived from shares held in a company nor capital gains realized on the sale or disposal, in any form whatsoever, of shares in a company, are taxable at the level of such resident corporate shareholders.
Resident individual shareholders
For resident individual shareholders, dividends derived from shares and capital gains realized on the sale of shares are, in principle, subject to income tax at the progressive ordinary rate (with a current effective marginal rate of up to 42%). Such income tax rate is increased by 7% for income not exceeding €150,000 for single taxpayers and €300,000 for couples taxed jointly, and by 9% for income above these amounts. In addition, a 1.4% dependence insurance contribution is due.
50% of the gross amount of dividends derived from shares may however be exempt from income tax, if the conditions laid down under Article 115 (15a) LITL, as described above, are complied with. In addition, a total lump-sum of €1,500 (which is doubled for taxpayers who are jointly taxable) is deductible from the total of dividends received during the tax year.
Capital gains realized on the disposal of the shares by resident individual shareholders who act in the course of the management of their private wealth, will in principle only be taxable if said capital gains qualify either as speculative gains or as gains on a substantial participation. A disposal may include a sale, an exchange, a contribution or any other kind of alienation of shares. Capital gains are deemed to be speculative if the shares are disposed within six months after their acquisition or if their disposal precedes their acquisition. Speculative gains realized during the year that are equal to, or are greater than, €500 are subject to income tax at ordinary rates. A participation is deemed to be substantial where a resident individual shareholder holds, either alone or together with his spouse, his partner or minor children, directly or indirectly, at any time within the 5 years preceding the disposal, more than 10% of share capital of a collective entity. A shareholder is also deemed to alienate a substantial participation if such participation (i) has been acquired free of charge, within the 5 years preceding the transfer, and (ii) was constituting a substantial participation in the hands of the alienator (or the alienators in case of successive transfers free of charge within the same 5-year period). Capital gains realized on a substantial participation more than six months after the acquisition thereof may benefit from an allowance of up to €50,000 granted for a ten-year period (which is doubled for taxpayers who are jointly taxable). They are subject to income tax according to the half- global rate method, (i.e., the average rate applicable to the total income is calculated according to progressive income tax rates and half of the average rate is applied to the capital gains realized on the substantial participation).
Capital gains realized on the disposal of the Company’s shares by resident individual shareholders, who act in the course of their professional or business activity, are subject to income tax at ordinary rates. Taxable gains are determined as being the difference between the price for which the shares have been disposed of and the lower of their cost or book value.
Non-resident shareholders
Non resident shareholders (either individual or corporate) owning a non-substantial shareholding are exempt from capital gains taxes. Non resident shareholders owning a substantial shareholding (more than 10% of share capital of a collective entity) are taxable in Luxembourg on a capital gain realized upon the disposal if at the date of the disposal the shareholding has been owned for not more than six months, unless the non resident shareholder is resident in a treaty country and the treaty allocates the taxation right for the capital gain to the country of residence. In this latter case, no capital gains tax will be due by non resident shareholder. Capital gains realized on the disposal of shares by non resident shareholders that have been owned for more than 6 months are exempt from Luxembourg income tax.
(c)    Other Taxes
Net wealth tax
Whilst non-resident corporate taxpayers may only be subject to net wealth tax on their on the net assets attributable to a permanent establishment located in Luxembourg or on real estate assets located in Luxembourg, resident corporate taxpayers are in principle subject to net wealth tax at the rate of 0.5% for net wealth up to €500 million and at 0.05% for net wealth exceeding this threshold, unless a double tax treaty provides for an exemption or the asset may benefit from the Luxembourg participation exemption regime. Net worth is referred to as the unitary value (valeur unitaire), as determined at January 1 of each year. The unitary value is basically calculated as the
107


difference between (a) assets estimated at their fair market value and (b) liabilities vis-à-vis third parties, unless one of the exceptions mentioned below are satisfied.
A resident corporate shareholder will be subject to net wealth tax on shares, except if (i) the shareholder is a securitization company governed by the Law of March 22, 2004, on Securitization (as amended) or an investment company in risk capital governed by the Law of June 15, 2004, on Venture Capital Vehicles (as amended) or a specialized investment fund governed by the Law of February 13, 2007, on Specialized Investment Funds (as amended) or a family wealth management company governed by the Law of May 11, 2007, on Family Estate Management Companies (as amended) or an undertaking for collective investment governed by the Law of December 17, 2010, on Undertakings for Collective Investment (as amended) or a pension-saving company as well as a pension-saving association, both governed by the Law of July 13, 2005, (as amended) or a reserved alternative investment fund governed by the law of July 23, 2016, or (ii) if the conditions mentioned above for the participation exemption regime on dividend income are met at the end of the previous year (except that no minimum holding period is required).
A resident corporate shareholder may further be subject to either a minimum net wealth tax of €4,815 or to a progressive minimum net wealth tax from €535 to €32,100, which depends on the total assets on their balance sheet. The minimum net wealth tax of €4,815 will be applicable for a resident corporate shareholder, which has a minimum of 90% of fixed financial assets, transferable securities and cash at bank on its balance sheet, except if its accumulated fixed financial assets do in addition not exceed €350,000, in which case it may benefit from a minimum net wealth tax of €535. Items (e.g., real estate properties or assets allocated to a permanent establishment) located in a treaty country, where the latter has the exclusive tax right, are not considered for the calculation of the 90% threshold.
Despite the above mentioned exceptions, the minimum net wealth tax also applies if the resident corporate shareholder is a securitization company governed by the Law of March 22, 2004, on Securitization (as amended) or an investment company in risk capital governed by the Law of June 15, 2004, on Venture Capital Vehicles (as amended) or a pension-saving company as well as a pension-saving association, both governed by the Law of July 13, 2005, (as amended) or a reserved alternative investment fund having the exclusive purpose of investing in risk capital governed by the law of July 23, 2016.
The net wealth tax charge for a given year can be avoided or reduced if a specific reserve, equal to five times the net wealth tax to save, is created before the end of the subsequent tax year and maintained during the five following tax years. The net wealth tax reduction corresponds to one fifth of the reserve created, except that the maximum net wealth tax to be saved is limited to the corporate income tax amount due for the same tax year, including the employment fund surcharge, but before imputation of available tax credits.
Inheritance tax
Where a shareholder is a resident of Luxembourg for tax purposes at the time of his/her death, shares are included in his/her taxable estate for inheritance tax assessment purposes.
Gift tax
Gift tax may be due on a gift or donation of shares if recorded in a Luxembourg notarial deed or otherwise recorded in Luxembourg.
Registration taxes and stamp duties
In principle, neither the issuance of shares nor the disposal of shares is subject to Luxembourg registration tax or stamp duty.
However, a registration duty may be due in the case where (i) the deed acknowledging the issuance/disposal of shares is either attached (annexé) to a deed subject to a mandatory registration in Luxembourg (e.g., public deed) or lodged with a notary’s records (deposé au rang des minutes d’un notaire), or (ii) in case of a registration of such deed on a voluntary basis.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following is a description of material U.S. federal income tax consequences to the U.S. Holders described below of owning and disposing our common shares. It does not describe all tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular person’s decision to hold common shares. This discussion applies only to a U.S. Holder that holds common shares as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, it does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant in light of the U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, including alternative minimum tax consequences, the potential application of the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of
108


1986, as amended (the “Code”) known as the Medicare contribution tax and tax consequences applicable to U.S. Holders subject to special rules, such as:
•    certain financial institutions;
•    dealers or traders in securities that use a mark-to-market method of tax accounting;
•    persons holding common shares as part of a hedging transaction, straddle, wash sale, conversion transaction or other integrated transaction or persons entering into a constructive sale with respect to the common shares;
•    persons whose functional currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar;
•    entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
•    tax-exempt entities, “individual retirement account” or “Roth IRA”;
•    persons that own or are deemed to own ten percent or more of our shares, by vote or value;
•    persons who acquired our common shares pursuant to the exercise of an employee stock option or otherwise as compensation; or
•    persons holding common shares in connection with a trade or business conducted outside of the United States.
If an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes owns common shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships owning common shares and partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisers as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the common shares.
This discussion is based on the Code, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions, final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, and the income tax treaty between Luxembourg and the United States (the “Treaty”) all as of the date hereof, any of which is subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect.
A “U.S. Holder” is a person who, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is a beneficial owner of our common shares and is:
•    an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
•    a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state therein or the District of Columbia; or
•    an estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.
This discussion does not address the effects of any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws, or any U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes (such as U.S. federal or gift tax consequences). U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers concerning the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of owning and disposing of our common shares in their particular circumstances.
Except as described below, this discussion assumes that we are not, and will not become, a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”) for any taxable year.
Taxation of Distributions
Distributions paid on common shares, other than certain pro rata distributions of common shares, will generally be treated as dividends to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Because we do not maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, we expect that distributions generally will be reported to U.S. Holders as dividends. Subject to applicable limitations, dividends paid to certain non-corporate U.S. Holders may be taxable at the favorable tax rate applicable to “qualified dividend income.” U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the availability of the favorable tax rate on dividends in their particular circumstances.
109


Dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally available to U.S. corporations under the Code. Dividends will be included in a U.S. Holder’s income on the date of receipt. The amount of any dividend income paid in euros will be the U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date of actual or constructive receipt, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars at that time. If the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. A U.S. Holder may have foreign currency gain or loss if the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars after the date of receipt.
Dividends will be foreign-source and will include any amount withheld by us in respect of Luxembourg income taxes. Subject to applicable limitations, some of which vary depending upon the U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, non-refundable Luxembourg income taxes withheld from dividends at a rate not exceeding any applicable rate provided by the Treaty will be creditable against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex and U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the creditability of foreign taxes in their particular circumstances. In lieu of claiming a foreign tax credit, U.S. Holders may, at their election, deduct foreign taxes, including any Luxembourg income tax, in computing their taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. law. An election to deduct foreign taxes instead of claiming foreign tax credits applies to all foreign taxes paid or accrued in the taxable year.
Sale or Other Disposition of Common Shares
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, gain or loss realized on the sale or other disposition of common shares will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder held the common shares for more than one year. The amount of the gain or loss will equal the difference between the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the common shares disposed of and the amount realized on the disposition, in each case as determined in U.S. dollars. This gain or loss will generally be U.S.-source gain or loss for foreign tax credit purposes. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules
We believe that we were not a “passive foreign investment company” (a “PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our taxable year ending December 31, 2020. However, our PFIC status for any taxable year is an annual determination that depends on the composition of our income and assets and the market value of our assets, which may change from time to time. In addition, if we expand our lending activities in the future in any significant fashion, our risk of becoming a PFIC will increase. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for any taxable year. If we are a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder holds common shares, we generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to that U.S. Holder for all succeeding years during which the U.S. Holder holds common shares, even if we cease to meet the threshold requirements for PFIC status.
If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds common shares, gain recognized by a U.S. Holder on a sale or other disposition (including certain pledges) of the common shares will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the common shares. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other disposition and to any year before we became a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year will be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that taxable year, and an interest charge will be imposed on the resulting tax liability for each such year. Further, to the extent that any distribution received by a U.S. Holder on its common shares exceeds 125% of the average of the annual distributions on the common shares received during the preceding three years or the U.S. Holder’s holding period, whichever is shorter, that distribution will be subject to taxation in the same manner. If we were a PFIC, certain elections (such as mark-to-market election) may be available that would result in alternative tax consequences of owning and disposing the common shares.
In addition, if we are a PFIC or, with respect to particular U.S. Holder, are treated as a PFIC for the taxable year in which we pay a dividend or for the prior taxable year, the preferential dividend rate discussed above with respect to dividends paid to certain non-corporate U.S. Holders will not apply.
If a U.S. Holder owns common shares during any year in which we are a PFIC, the U.S. Holder generally must file annual reports on an IRS Form 8621 (or any successor form) with respect to us, generally with the U.S. Holder’s federal income tax return for that year.
U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers concerning the potential application of the PFIC rules.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Payments of dividends and sales proceeds that are made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries generally are subject to information reporting, and may be subject to backup withholding,
110


unless (i) the U.S. Holder is a corporation or other exempt recipient or (ii) in the case of backup withholding, the U.S. Holder provides a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that it is not subject to backup withholding.
The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle it to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals or specified entities may be required to report information on their U.S. federal income tax returns relating to their ownership of our common shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for common shares held in a financial account, in which case the account may be reportable if maintained by a non-U.S. financial institution).
U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding their reporting obligations with respect to their ownership and disposition of common shares.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT RISK
Financial risk management
Millicom regularly performs risk management assessments and reviews to identify its major risks and to take the necessary steps to mitigate such risks. The principal market risks to which we are exposed are interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk and non-repatriation. Each year Millicom Group Treasury revisits and presents to the Audit Committee updated Treasury and Financial Risks Management policies ("Group Treasury Policy"). The Millicom Group analyzes each of these financial risks individually as well as on an interconnected basis and defines and implements strategies to manage the economic impact on the Millicom Group’s performance in line with its Group Treasury Policy. This policy was last reviewed in late 2020.
As part of the annual review of the above mentioned risks, the Millicom Group targets a strategy with respect to the use of derivatives and natural hedging instruments ranging from raising debt in local currency (where the Company targets to reach 40% of debt in local currency over the medium term) to maintaining a 75/25% mix between fixed and floating rate debt or agreeing to cover up to six months forward of operating costs and capex denominated in non-functional currencies through a rolling and layering strategy. Millicom’s risk management strategies may include the use of derivatives to the extent a market would exist in the jurisdictions where the Millicom Group operates. Millicom’s policy prohibits the use of such derivatives in the context of speculative trading.

111


On December 31, 2020 and 2019, the fair value of derivatives held by the Millicom Group may be summarized as follows:
2020 2019
(US$ millions)
Derivatives
Cash flow hedge derivatives - asset 28  — 
Cash flow hedge derivatives - liability (16) (17)
Net derivative asset (liability) 12  (17)
Interest rate risk
Debt and financing issued at floating interest rates expose the Millicom Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Debt and financing issued at fixed rates expose the Millicom Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Millicom Group’s exposure to risk of changes in market interest rates relate to both of the above. To manage this risk, the Millicom Group’s policy is to maintain a combination of fixed and floating rate debt with target that more than 75% of the debt be at fixed rates. The Millicom Group actively monitors borrowings against this target. The target mix between fixed and floating rate debt is reviewed periodically. The purpose of Millicom’s policy is to achieve an optimal balance between cost of funding and volatility of financial results, while taking into account market conditions as well as our overall business strategy. At December 31, 2020, approximately 84% of the Millicom Group’s borrowings are at a fixed rate of interest or for which variable rates have been swapped for fixed rates with interest rate swaps (2019: 76%).
The table below summarizes, as at December 31, 2020, our fixed rate debt and floating rate debt:

Weighted average nominal interest rate 5.10  % 4.55  % 4.34  % 5.81  % 4.73  % 5.24  % 4.82  %

A 100 basis point fall or rise in market interest rates for all currencies in which the Group had borrowings at December 31, 2020 would increase or reduce profit before tax from continuing operations for the year by approximately US$9 million (2019: US$14 million).
112


From time to time, Millicom enters into currency and interest rate swap contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and currency fluctuations in accordance with its Financial Risk Management policy. Details of these arrangements are provided below.
Interest rate and currency swaps on SEK denominated debt
The swaps on the previous SEK bond were accounted for as a cash flow hedge as the timing and amounts of the cash flows under the swap agreements matched the cash flows under the SEK bond. Fluctuations were recorded through other comprehensive income in our financial statements. They matured in April 2018 and were settled against a cash payment of $63 million.
In May 2019, MIC S.A. entered into swap contracts in order to hedge the foreign currency and interest rate risks in relation to the issuance of the SEK 2 billion (approximately $208 million) senior unsecured sustainability bond. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges as the timing and amounts of the cash flows under the swap agreements match the cash flows under the SEK bond. Their maturity date is May 2024. The hedging relationship is highly effective and related fluctuations are recorded through other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2020, the fair values of the swaps amount to an asset of $23 million.
Interest rate and currency swaps in Costa Rica, Colombia and interest rate swaps in El Salvador
Our operations in Colombia, El Salvador and Costa Rica also entered into several swap agreements in order to hedge foreign currency and interest rate risks on certain long term debts. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges and related fair value changes are recorded through other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2020, the fair value of El Salvador swaps amount to a liability of $3 million (December 31, 2019: a liability of $3 million), Costa Rica swaps amount to a liability of $5 million and an asset of $1 million (December 31, 2019: liability of $14 million) and the fair value of Colombia swaps amount to a liability of $7 million (December 31, 2019: nil).
Interest rate and currency swaps on Euro-denominated debt
In June 2013, Millicom entered into interest rate and currency swaps whereby Millicom will sell Euros and receive USD to hedge against exchange rate fluctuations on an intercompany seven-year Euro 134 million principal and related interest financing of its operation in Senegal.
The above hedge was considered ineffective, with fluctuations in the fair value of the hedge recorded through the statement of income in our consolidated financial statements.
No other financial instruments have a significant fair value at December 31, 2020.
Foreign currency risk
The Millicom Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures in the countries in which it operates. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations resulted in a loss of $69 million, a loss of $32 million and a gain of $40 million, respectively.
Millicom seeks to reduce its foreign currency exposure through a policy of matching, as far as possible, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, or entering into agreements that limit the risk of exposure to currency fluctuations against the US dollar reporting currency. In some cases, Millicom may also borrow in US dollars where it is either commercially more advantageous for joint ventures and subsidiaries to incur debt obligations in US dollars or where US dollar denominated borrowing is the only funding source available to a joint venture or subsidiary. In these circumstances, Millicom accepts the remaining currency risk associated with financing its joint ventures and subsidiaries, principally because of the relatively high cost of forward cover, when available, in the currencies in which the Millicom Group operates.
The following table summarizes debt denominated in US dollars and other currencies at December 31, 2020 and 2019.
113


2020 2019
(US$ millions)
December 31
Debt denominated in US dollars 3,384  3,535 
Debt denominated in currencies of the following countries:
Colombia 614  531 
Chad — 
Tanzania 40  14 
Bolivia 337  350 
Paraguay 180  206 
El Salvador(i) 118  268 
Panama(i) 869  918 
Luxembourg (SEK denominated) 41  43 
Costa Rica 107  107 
Other — 
Total debt denominated in other currencies 2,307  2,437 
Total debt 5,691  5,972 
(i) El Salvador's official unit of currency is the U.S. dollar, while Panama uses the U.S. dollar as legal tender. Our local debt in both countries is therefore denominated in U.S. dollars but presented as local currency (LCY).

At December 31, 2020, if the US dollar had weakened/strengthened by 10% against the other functional currencies of our operations and all other variables held constant, then profit before tax from continuing operations would have increased/decreased by $45 million (2019: $17 million ). This increase/decrease in profit before tax would have mainly been as a result of the conversion of the USD-denominated net debts in our operations with functional currencies other than the US dollar.
Non-repatriation risk
Millicom’s operating subsidiaries and joint ventures generate most of the revenue of the Millicom Group and in the currency of the countries in which they operate. Millicom is therefore dependent on the ability of its subsidiaries and joint venture operations to transfer funds to the Company.
Although foreign exchange controls exist in some of the countries in which Millicom Group companies operate, none of these controls currently significantly restrict the ability of these operations to pay interest, dividends, technical service fees, royalties or repay loans by exporting cash, instruments of credit or securities in foreign currencies. However, existing foreign exchange controls may be strengthened in countries where the Millicom Group operates, or foreign exchange controls may be introduced in countries where the Millicom Group operates that do not currently impose such restrictions. If such events were to occur, the Company’s ability to receive funds from the operations could be subsequently restricted, which would impact the Company’s ability to make payments on its interest and loans and, or pay dividends to its shareholders. As a policy, all operations which do not face restrictions to deposit funds offshore and in hard currencies should do so for the surplus cash generated on a weekly basis. The Company and its subsidiaries make use of notional and physical cash pooling arrangements in hard currencies to the extent permitted.
In addition, in some countries it may be difficult to convert large amounts of local currency into foreign currency because of limited foreign exchange markets. The practical effects of this may be time delays in accumulating significant amounts of foreign currency and exchange risk, which could have an adverse effect on the Millicom Group. This is a relatively rare case for the countries in which the Millicom Group operates.
Lastly, repatriation most often gives rise to taxation, which is evidenced in the amount of taxes paid by the Millicom Group relative to the Corporate Income Tax reported in its statement of income.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures
    As of December 31, 2020, MIC S.A., under the supervision and with the participation of the Millicom Group’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Millicom Group’s disclosure controls and procedures. The Millicom Group’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Millicom Group’s management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The Millicom Group’s management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which by their nature can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

    Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2020 the Millicom Group’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level for recording, processing, summarizing and reporting the information the Company is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Exchange Act within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) rules and forms.

B. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
    The Millicom Group’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.

115


    Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting as well as the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Boards.
    The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and, even when determined to be effective, can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to consolidated financial statements preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

    The Company’s management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

    Based on its assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

    The Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 has been audited by Ernst & Young S.A., the Company’s external independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report which follows.

C. Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Millicom International Cellular S.A.
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Millicom International Cellular S.A.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Millicom International Cellular S.A. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the 2020 consolidated financial statements of the Company and our report dated March 10, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Item 16B. Code of Ethics
    Millicom has a Code of Conduct that applies to all employees and management. In May 2019, the Code of Conduct was amended to specify in greater detail our responsibility to regulators and shareholders, and clarify the duty of our employees to report concerns regarding accounting, internal controls, or auditing issues. In the year ended December 31, 2020, Millicom did not waive compliance with its Code of Conduct by its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Code of Conduct is available at https://www.millicom.com/our-responsibility/compliance/millicom-code-of-conduct/.

Item 16C. Principal Accountant Fees and Services
    The following table summarizes the aggregate amounts paid to Millicom’s auditors for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
2020 2019
(US$ millions)
Audit fees 5.8  6.8 
Audit related fees 0.5  1.3 
Tax fees 0.1  0.1 
Other fees 0.1  0.6 
Total 6.4  8.8 
    Audit related services consist principally of consultations related to financial accounting and reporting standards, including making recommendations to management regarding internal controls and the issuance of certifications for debt and bonds.

Item 16F. Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
Not applicable.
Item 16G. Corporate Governance
    As a foreign private issuer incorporated in Luxembourg with its principal stock exchange listing on Nasdaq Stockholm, Millicom follows its “home country” corporate governance practices and the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, in lieu of the provisions of the Nasdaq Stock Market’s Marketplace Rule 5600 series that apply to the constitution of a quorum for any meeting of shareholders, the composition and independence requirements of the Nomination Committee and the Compensation Committee and the requirement to have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present. The Nasdaq Stock Market’s rules provide for a quorum of no less than 33⅓% of Millicom’s outstanding shares. However, Millicom’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association do not require a quorum. The Nasdaq Stock Market’s rules provide for the involvement of independent directors in the selection of director nominees. However, Millicom relies on its home country practices, in lieu of this requirement, which permit its director nominations committee to be comprised of shareholder representatives. The Nasdaq Stock Market’s rules require each Compensation Committee member to be an independent director for purposes of the Nasdaq Stock Market’s Marketplace Rule 5605(d)(2). However, to preserve greater flexibility in who may be appointed to the Compensation Committee, Millicom relies on its home country practices, in lieu of this requirement, which do not require the Compensation Committee to be comprised solely of directors who qualify as independent for such purposes. The Nasdaq Stock Market’s rules require listed companies to have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present. However, Millicom follows its home country practices which do not impose such a requirement.

Item 16H. Mine Safety Disclosure

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Millicom International Cellular S.A.


Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Millicom International Cellular S.A. (the “Group“) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Group's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated March 10, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Adoption of IFRS 16 “Leases”

As discussed in the Introduction to the consolidated financial statements, the Group changed its method of accounting for leases, including for their classification and measurement, effective January 1, 2019 due to the adoption of IFRS 16 “Leases”.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Group’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.



F-2


Revenue recognition
Description of the Matter As described in Note B.1.1 of the consolidated financial statements, the Group’s revenue, amongst others, includes bundled offers (e.g., sales of telecom services and sale of handsets) and Principal vs. Agent considerations (i.e., some arrangements involve two or more unrelated parties that contribute to providing a specified good or service to a customer). Auditing bundled offers was especially challenging and involved complex auditor judgment because these arrangements involve multiple deliverables and elements which require the identification of separate performance obligations and allocation of the transaction price to those obligations. The transaction price is recognized in accordance with the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects their relative stand-alone selling prices (e.g. the revenue from the sale of telecom services is recognized over time and the revenue from the sale of handsets is recognized at a point in time). In addition, auditing Principal vs. Agent considerations was especially challenging and involved auditor judgment to determine whether the Group has promised to provide the specified good or service itself (as a principal) or to arrange for those specified goods or services to be provided by another party (as an agent). In addition, auditing the information technology infrastructure used by the Group to capture complete and accurate revenue information (e.g. the set-up of customer accounts, pricing data, segregation of duties, reconciliation from billing system to the general ledger) to recognize revenues was especially challenging. There were challenges in obtaining an understanding of the structure of the complex systems and processes used to capture the large volumes of customer data. Furthermore, judgment was required to evaluate the relevant data that was captured and aggregated, and to assess the sufficiency of the audit evidence obtained.
How We
Addressed the
Matter in Our
Audit
Our audit procedures included, among others, obtaining an understanding, evaluating the design, and testing the operating effectiveness of controls over the accounting for bundled offers (including identification of separate performance obligations and allocation of the transaction price to those obligations) and Principal vs. Agent considerations. Our audit procedures also included assessing the overall IT control environment and the IT controls in place, assisted by our information technology professionals. For example, we evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls around access rights, system development, program changes and IT dependent business controls to establish that changes to the system were appropriately authorized, developed, and implemented including those over: set-up of customer accounts, pricing data, segregation of duties and the linkage to usage data that drives revenue recognition. In addition, we tested the end-to-end reconciliation from the billing systems to the general ledger. We also tested journal entries processed between the billing systems and general ledger. We assessed the accounting for credits and discounts and tested, on a sample basis, the accuracy of customer invoices. We assessed the assumptions used by management to determine the allocation of the transaction price, after consideration of these credits and discounts, to telecom services and handsets and tested the stand-alone selling prices. We obtained a sample of customer contracts, including modifications to the contracts, and compared customer contract terms to the revenue systems. We evaluated management’s Principal vs. Agent considerations and conclusions. We evaluated the adequacy of the related disclosures

F-3


Impairment testing of Goodwill
Description of the Matter As of December 31, 2020, the Group's goodwill balance was USD 1,659 million. As described in Note E.1.1 of the consolidated financial statements, goodwill from cash-generating units (CGUs) is tested at least each year and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

Auditing management’s goodwill impairment testing was especially challenging considering the uncertainties resulting from the current coronavirus pandemic situation and involved complex management and auditor judgment due to the significant assumptions used to determine the recoverable values of each of the Group’s CGUs. For example, the recoverable values based on value-in-use, determined using the method of discounted cash flows, were sensitive to significant assumptions, such as the projected EBITDA margin, CAPEX intensity (defined as CAPEX divided by total revenues), perpetual growth rates and weighted average cost of capital. These are affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions which are uncertain.
How We
Addressed the
Matter in Our
Audit
Our audit procedures included, among others, obtaining an understanding of and evaluating the design and testing the operating effectiveness of the Group’s controls over its impairment testing. For example, we tested controls over management’s evaluation of the significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flows to develop the recoverable values of each of the Group’s CGUs. Our audit procedures also included inspecting the business plans used in the impairment analysis, comparing the plans to those used in other areas of the audit and evaluating the methodology used. We involved our valuation specialists to assist with our audit procedures to test the discounted cash flows and management’s valuation methodologies and assumptions. For example, our valuation specialists assisted us in comparing the significant assumptions listed above with publicly available information and external market data, and in evaluating management’s sensitivity analysis. We also assessed the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data through our inspection of and comparison to historical information. We evaluated the adequacy of the related disclosures.

F-4


Uncertain tax positions
Description of the Matter As described in Note G.3.2 of the consolidated financial statements, the Group operates in developing countries where the tax systems, regulations and enforcement processes have varying stages of development creating uncertainty regarding the application of the tax law and interpretation of tax treatments. The Group is also subject to regular tax audits in the countries where it operates. When there is uncertainty over whether the taxation authority will accept a specific tax treatment under the local tax law, that tax treatment is therefore uncertain. The resolution of tax positions taken by the Group, through negotiations with relevant tax authorities or through litigation, can take several years to complete and, in some cases, it is difficult to predict the outcome. At December 31, 2020, the tax risks exposure of the Group's subsidiaries is estimated at USD 339 million, for which provisions of USD 77 million have been recorded in tax liabilities. The Group's share of tax exposure and provisions in its joint ventures amounts to USD 69 million and USD 7 million, respectively.

Auditing management’s analysis of the Group’s uncertain tax positions and the related uncertain tax positions was especially challenging because the analysis is complex and involves significant management and auditor judgment and estimation. Each tax position involves unique facts and circumstances that must be evaluated, and there may be many uncertainties around initial recognition and de-recognition of tax positions, including regulatory changes, litigation and examination.
How We
Addressed the
Matter in Our
Audit
Our audit procedures included, among others, obtaining an understanding of and evaluating the design and testing the operating effectiveness of the Group’s controls relating to uncertain tax positions. For example, we tested controls over management’s identification of uncertain tax positions and its application of the recognition and measurement principles, including management’s review of the inputs and calculations of uncertain tax positions. Our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the assumptions the Group used to develop its uncertain tax positions and related unrecognized tax positions by jurisdiction. For example, we compared the estimated liabilities for unrecognized tax positions to similar positions in prior periods and assessed management’s consideration of current tax treatments and litigation and trends in similar positions challenged by tax authorities. We also assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates of its unrecognized tax positions by comparing the estimates with the resolution of those positions. In addition, we involved our tax professionals to assist us in evaluating the application of relevant tax laws and the Group’s interpretation of such laws in its recognition determination. We also tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by the Group to calculate its uncertain tax positions. We evaluated the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures.

Introduction
Corporate Information
Millicom International Cellular S.A. (the “Company” or “MIC S.A.”), a Luxembourg Société Anonyme, and its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates (the “Group” or “Millicom”) is an international telecommunications and media group providing digital lifestyle services in emerging markets, through mobile and fixed telephony, cable, broadband, Pay-TV in Latin America (Latam) and Africa.
The Company’s shares are traded as Swedish Depositary Receipts on the Stockholm stock exchange under the symbol TIGO SDB (formerly MIC SDB) and, since January 9, 2019, on the Nasdaq Stock Market in the U.S. under the ticker symbol TIGO. The Company has its registered office at 2, Rue du Fort Bourbon, L-1249 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and is registered with the Luxembourg Register of Commerce under the number RCS B 40 630.
On November 14, 2019, Millicom's historical principal shareholder, Kinnevik AB, distributed its entire (approximately 37% of Millicom's outstanding shares) shareholding in Millicom to its own shareholders through a share redemption plan. Since that date, Kinnevik is no longer a related party or shareholder in Millicom.
On March 9, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized these consolidated financial statements for issuance.
Business activities
Millicom operates its mobile businesses in Latin America (Bolivia, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama and Paraguay), and in Africa (Ghana and Tanzania).
Millicom operates various cable and fixed line businesses in Latin America (Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama and Paraguay). Millicom also provides direct to home satellite service in most of its Latam countries.
On December 31, 2015, Millicom deconsolidated its operations in Guatemala and Honduras which are, since that date and for accounting purposes, under joint control. However, when preparing and disclosing its segment information, the Group includes Honduras and Guatemala in the Latin America (Latam) segment figures as if they are fully consolidated by the Group, as this reflects the way management reviews and uses internally reported information to make decisions (see note B.3. Segmental information).
Millicom holds investments in online/e-commerce businesses in several countries in a tower infrastructure company in Africa (Helios Towers), as well as other small minority investments in other businesses such as micro-insurance (Milvik).
COVID-19 - Qualitative and quantitative assessment on business activities, financial situation and economic performance
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. Most countries globally, including a majority of the countries where we operate, reacted by implementing severe restrictions on travel and public gatherings, including the closing of offices, businesses, schools, retail stores and other public venues, and by instituting curfews or quarantines. These restrictions, as well as the dangers posed by the virus, produced a significant reduction in mobility and a severe disruption in global economic activity, the effect of which was felt in our markets beginning in mid-March 2020.
Impact on our markets and business
Most governments in our markets implemented restrictions beginning in mid-March, and these were generally maintained throughout April, with some gradual relaxation of measures beginning in late May and June. According to data compiled by the University of Oxford, the lockdowns in the vast majority of our markets were among the most stringent in the world. As a result, many of our stores and distribution channels were forced to close temporarily and a majority of our markets experienced very sharp reductions in mobility during the second quarter. This produced an immediate and significant decline in our prepaid mobile business. Since then, most of the governments in the countries in which we operate have gradually eased these restrictions and we have seen a corresponding increase in the mobility of people. Our prepaid mobile business was affected much faster than postpaid, and recovery has also been significantly quicker.

COVID-19 - Qualitative and quantitative assessment on business activities, financial situation and economic performance (continued)
Impact of the crisis on accounting matters
As a consequence of this crisis, Millicom identified potential significant accounting implications in the following areas:
Impairment of non-financial assets/goodwill/investments in joint ventures
As a result of this crisis, Millicom has noticed reduced economic activity across the countries where it operates, and its operations have been suffering lower revenues, EBITDA and margins, which might have indicated potential impairments.
In the second half of the year, our operations have shown encouraging signs of recovery and are actually over performing the forecasts used by management to carry out the impairment test as of June 30, 2020. The discount rates have also significantly decreased since the declaration of the outbreak and they have gradually returned to pre-pandemic levels. There were therefore no such indicators requiring management to carry out another impairment test for the second half of the year. With that said, in accordance with IFRS, management carried out its annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2020, using the Group's latest forecasts and again concluded that no impairment should be recorded in the Group Consolidated Financial Statements.
Impairment of trade receivables
During Q2 2020, and as a result of worsening collections, the Group had recognised additional bad debt provisions for an amount of $32 million compared to the level of provisions recorded during Q1 2020 (pre-pandemic level) and $33 million compared to Q2 2019. However, collections have significantly improved during second half of 2020 and bad debt levels have returned to their pre-pandemic level comparing to Q1 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the total bad debt provisions cover close to 100% of the receivables overdue by more than 90 days.
Revenue recognition
For countries restricted from disconnecting non paying customers at the beginning of the pandemic , such as El Salvador and Bolivia, the Group established a policy whereby operations stopped recognizing revenue after a certain number of invoices remained unpaid (usually 3 invoices - as these customers would be disconnected after 3 unpaid invoices in normal circumstances). The Group believed it was unlikely that it would collect the overdue invoiced amounts from these subscribers i.e. the 'Covid subscribers'. From that moment onwards after consideration of the guidance under IFRS 15.13, for 'Covid subscribers' the Group had only recognized revenue up to an amount equal to the consideration (cash) as and when received. Noteworthy, all our operations were finally allowed to apply free "lifeline" services for non-paying customers, with El Salvador and Bolivia being the latest to be able to apply it as from mid-2020.
As mentioned above, our markets and operations showed encouraging signs of recovery, and therefore any unrecognized revenue during second half of 2020 has been offset with the invoicing effect of prior unrecognized revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Group invoiced but unrecognized revenue amounts to $3.9 million.

IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB (IFRS). They are also compliant with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. This is in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of July 19, 2002, on the application of international accounting standards for listed companies domiciled in the European Union.
The financial statements have been prepared on an historical cost basis, except for certain items including derivative financial instruments (measured at fair value) and financial instruments that contain obligations to purchase own equity instruments (measured at the present value of the redemption price).
This section contains the Group’s significant accounting policies that relate to the financial statements as a whole. Significant accounting policies specific to one note are included within that note. Accounting policies relating to non-material items are not included in these financial statements.

Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31 of each year. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the Company, using consistent accounting policies.
All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses, and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated.
Foreign currency
Financial information in these financial statements are shown in the US dollar presentation currency of the Group and rounded to the nearest million (US$ million) except where otherwise indicated. The financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates (the functional currency). The functional currency of each subsidiary, joint venture and associate reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances of these entities. Except for El Salvador where the functional currency is US dollar, the functional currency in other countries is the local currency.
The results and financial position of all Group entities (none of which operate in an economy with a hyperinflationary environment) with functional currency other than the US dollar presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
(i)    Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate on the date of the statement of financial position;
(ii)    Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and
(iii)    All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity (currency translation reserve), in the caption “Other reserves”.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of net investments in foreign operations, and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recorded in equity. When the Group disposes of or loses control or significant influence over a foreign operation, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as part of gain or loss on sale or loss of control and/or significant influence.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.
The following table presents functional currency translation rates for the Group’s locations to the US dollar on December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 and the average rates for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

New and amended IFRS accounting standards
The following changes to standards effective for annual periods starting on January 1, 2019 have been adopted by the Group:
IFRS 16 "Leases" primarily affects the accounting for the Group’s operating leases. The commitments for operating leases are now recognized as right of use assets and lease liabilities for future payments. As a result, on adoption, on January 1, 2019, an additional lease liability of $545 million has been recognized. The application of the new standard decreased operating expenses by $149 million, respectively, as compared to what our results would have been if we had continued to follow IAS 17 for year ended December 31, 2019. The impact of the adoption of the leasing standard and the new accounting policies are further explained below. The application of this standard also affects the Group’s depreciation, operating and financial expenses, debt and other financing, and leverage ratios see note C.3.. The change in presentation of operating lease expenses has resulted in a corresponding increase in cash flows derived from operating activities and a decline in cash flows from financing activities.
Below are details describing the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 "Leases" on the Group’s financial statements. The amended accounting policies applied from January 1, 2019 are further disclosed in note C.4.
Explanation and effect of adoption of IFRS 16
The Group adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of applying the new Standard recognized in retained profits as of January 1, 2019. Its application had no significant impact on the Group's retained profits. Comparatives for the 2018 financial statements were not restated.
On adoption of IFRS 16, the Group recognized lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019.
The right-of-use asset was measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to the leases recognized in the statement of financial position immediately before the date of initial application.
The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 was 12.3%. Each lease commitment was individually discounted using a specific incremental borrowing rate, following a build-up approach including: risk-free rates, industry risk, country risk, credit risk at cash generating unit level, currency risk and commitment’s maturity.
For leases previously classified as finance leases Millicom recognized the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the right of use asset and the lease liability at the date of initial application. The measurement principles of IFRS 16 are only applied after that date.

(iv)    Initial recognition of lease liabilities and transfer of previously recognized finance lease liabilities.
(v)    Transfer of previously recognized finance lease liabilities to new Lease liabilities accounts.
(vi)    Reclassification of provisions for onerous contracts to Right-of-Use assets.

The application of IFRS 16 has also impacted classifications within the statement of income, statement of cash flows, segment information and EPS for the period starting from January 1, 2019.
In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics
reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous
the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at January 1, 2019 as short-term leases
the exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application, and
the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
The Group has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date the Group relied on its assessment made when applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.
The following new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period and did not have any significant impact on the Group’s accounting policies or disclosures and did not require retrospective adjustments.
Amendments to the conceptual framework. The IASB has revised its conceptual framework.
Amendments to IAS 1, ‘Presentation of financial statements’, and IAS 8, ‘Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors’.
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 - Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 1. This amendment provides certain reliefs in relation to interest rate benchmark reforms. The reliefs relate to hedge accounting and have the effect that the reforms should not generally cause hedge accounting to terminate. However, any hedge ineffectiveness should continue to be recorded in the income statement.
Amendments to IFRS 3 - definition of a business. This amendment revises the definition of a business.

Amendment to IFRS 16, 'Leases' - COVID 19 Rent Concessions - effective for annual periods starting on June 1, 2020. This amendment provides an optional practical expedient for lessees from assessing whether a rent concession related to COVID-19 is a lease modification. Lessees can elect to account for such rent concessions in the same way as they would if they were not lease modifications. In many cases, this will result in accounting for the concession as variable lease payments in the period(s) in which the event or condition that triggers the reduced payment occurs.
The following changes to standards not yet effective are not expected to materially affect the Group:
Amendments to IFRS 4 'Insurance contracts' (deferral of effective date of IFRS 9) - effective for annual periods starting on January 1, 2021- These amendments extend the effective date to apply IFRS 9 for insurance contracts to January 1, 2023 in order to align with the effective date of IFRS 7. These amendments will not have an impact for the Group.
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 - Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2 - effective for annual periods starting on January 1, 2021. The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate.
Main reliefs provided by the Phase 2 amendments relate to:
Changes to contractual cash flows: That is, when changing the basis for determining contractual cash flows for financial assets and liabilities required by the reform this will not result in an immediate gain or loss in the income statement but in an update of the effective interest rate (or an update in the discount rate to remeasure the lease liability as a result of the IBOR reform), and;
Hedge accounting: That is, allowing hedge relationships that are directly affected by the reform to continue, though additional ineffectiveness might need to be recorded.
The Group has inventoried financial assets or liabilities (including lease liabilities), as well as hedging instruments, with IBOR features and concluded that it will not be significantly exposed to this reform. As a result, it does not expect any material effects on its consolidated financial statements from the reform and these amendments.
Amendments to
IFRS 3 'Business Combinations' - Reference to Conceptual Framework
IAS 16 'Property, Plant and Equipment' - Proceeds before intended use
IAS 37 'Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets' - Cost of fulfilling a contract
Annual improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020, affecting IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 41
All of these amendments are effective for annual periods starting on January 1, 2022. These amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
Amendments to IAS 1, 'Presentation of Financial Statements' - effective for annual periods starting on January 1, 2023- This amendment clarifies that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. The amendment also clarifies what IAS 1 means when it refers to the ‘settlement’ of a liability. These amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
IFRS 17, ‘Insurance contracts’, including amendments - effective for annual periods starting on January 1, 2023- IFRS 17 will not have an impact for the Group. IFRS 17 has not been yet endorsed by the EU.
Amendments to IAS 1, 'Presentation of Financial Statements' and IFRS Practice Statement 2, 'Disclosure of Accounting policies'- effective for annual periods starting on January 1, 2023 - The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their 'significant' accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their 'material' accounting policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures. These amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
Amendments to IAS 8, 'Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors': Definition of accounting estimates - effective for annual periods starting on January 1, 2023 - The amendments are designed to clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors. These amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

Judgments and critical estimates
The preparation of IFRS financial statements requires management to use judgment in applying accounting policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events, actions and best estimates as of a specified date, and actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates. Areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in each note and are summarized below:
Judgments
Management apply judgment in accounting treatment and accounting policies in preparation of these financial statements. In particular, a significant level of judgment is applied regarding the following items:
•    Acquisitions – measurement at fair value of existing and newly identified assets, including the measurement of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (e.g. particularly the customer lists being sensitive to significant assumptions as disclosed in note A.1.2.), liabilities, contingent liabilities and remaining goodwill; the assessment of useful lives; as well as the accounting treatment for transaction costs (see notes A.1.2., E.1.1., E.1.5., E.2.1.);
•    Impairment testing – key assumptions related to future business performance, perpetual growth rates and discount rates (see notes E.1.2., E.1.6., E.2.2.);
•     Revenue recognition – whether or not the Group acts as principal or as an agent, when there is one or several performance obligations and the determination of stand alone selling prices (see note B.1.1.);
•    Contingent liabilities – whether or not a provision should be recorded for any potential liabilities (see note G.3.);
•    Leases – In determining the lease term, including the assessment of whether the exercise of extension or termination options is reasonably certain and the corresponding impact on the selected lease term (see note E.3.);
•    Control – whether Millicom, through voting rights and potential voting rights attached to shares held, or by way of shareholders’ agreements or other factors, has the ability to direct the relevant activities of the subsidiaries it consolidates, or jointly direct the relevant activities of its joint ventures (see notes A.1., A.2.);
•    Discontinued operations and assets held for sale – definition, classification and presentation (see notes A.4., E.4.1.) as well as measurement of potential provisions related to indemnities;
•    Deferred tax assets – recognition based on likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies (see notes B.6.3.and G.3.2.);
•    Defined benefit obligations – key assumptions related to life expectancies, salary increases and leaving rates, mainly related to UNE Colombia (see note B.4.3.).
Estimates
Estimates are based on historical experience and other factors, including reasonable expectations of future events, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. These factors are reviewed in preparation of the financial statements although, due to inherent uncertainties in the evaluation process, actual results may differ from original estimates. Estimates are subject to change as new information becomes available and may significantly affect future operating results. Significant estimates have been applied in respect of the following items:
•    Accounting for property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets in determining fair values at acquisition dates, particularly for assets acquired in business combinations and sale and leaseback transactions (see notes A.1.and E.2.1.);
•    Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (see notes E.1.1., E.2.1.);
•    Provisions, in particular provisions for asset retirement obligations, legal and tax risks (see note F.4.);
•    Tax liabilities, in particular in respect of uncertainty over income tax treatments (see note F.4.);
•    Revenue recognition (see note B.1.1.);
•    Impairment testing including weighted average cost of capital (WACC), EBITDA margins, Capex intensity and long term growth rates (see note E.1.6.);

TIGO-20201231_G8.JPG
•    For leases, estimates in determining the incremental borrowing rate for discounting the lease payments in case interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined (see note E.3. );
•    Estimates for defined benefit obligations (see note B.4.2.);
•    Accounting for share-based compensation in particular estimates of forfeitures and future performance criteria (see notes B.4.1., B.4.3.).

A. The Millicom Group
The Group comprises a number of holding companies, operating subsidiaries and joint ventures with various combinations of mobile, fixed-line telephony, cable and wireless Pay TV, Broadband Internet and Mobile Financial Services (MFS) businesses. The Group also holds other small minority investments in other businesses such as micro-insurance (Milvik).

A.1. Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities which Millicom controls. Millicom controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its investment in the entity, and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. Millicom has power over an entity when it has existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities, i.e. the activities that significantly affect the entity’s returns. Generally, control accompanies a shareholding of more than half of the voting rights although certain other factors (including contractual arrangements with other shareholders, voting and potential voting rights) are considered when assessing whether Millicom controls an entity. For example, although Millicom holds less than 50 % of the shares in its Colombian businesses, it holds more than 50 % of shares with voting rights. The contrary may also be true (e.g. Guatemala and Honduras). In respect of the joint ventures in Guatemala and Honduras, shareholders’ agreements require unanimous consents for decisions over the relevant activities of these entities (see also note A.2.2.). Therefore, the Group has joint control over these entities and accounts for them under the equity method.

Scope changes 2019
1. Telefonica CAM Acquisitions
On February 20, 2019, MIC S.A., Telefonica Centroamerica and Telefonica S.A. entered into 3 separate share purchase agreements (the “Telefonica CAM Acquisitions”) pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, Millicom agreed to purchase 100% of the shares of Telefonica Moviles Panama, S.A., a company incorporated under the laws of Panama, from Telefonica Centroamerica (the “Panama Acquisition”), 100% of the shares of Telefonica de Costa Rica TC, S.A., a company incorporated under the laws of Costa Rica, from Telefonica (the “Costa Rica Acquisition”) and 100% of the shares of Telefonia Celular de Nicaragua, S.A., a company incorporated under the laws of Nicaragua, from Telefonica Centroamerica (the “Nicaragua Acquisition”). While Millicom completed both acquisitions in Nicaragua and Panama, it announced on May 2, 2020 that it had terminated the Share Purchase Agreement in relation to the Costa Rica Acquisition (see note G.3.1.). The aggregate purchase price for the Telefonica Panama and Nicaragua Acquisitions was $1.08 billion, which has been subject to purchase price adjustments - see below.
Acquisition related costs for Nicaragua and Panama acquisitions included in the statement of income under operating expenses were approximately $16 million for the year 2019.
The finalization of the purchase accounting for the recent acquisitions had an effect on the following financial statements line items of the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2019:

The impact of the finalization of Nicaragua and Panama's purchase accounting on the 2019 Group statement of income is immaterial and, therefore, no adjustments were made on comparative figures in that respect.
Further details of Nicaragua and Panama acquisitions are provided below.
a) Nicaragua Acquisition
This transaction closed on May 16, 2019 after receipt of the necessary approvals and, since that date, Millicom holds all voting rights into Telefonia Celular de Nicaragua ("Nicaragua") and controls it. On the same day, Millicom paid an original cash consideration of $437 million, which was adjusted to $430 million as of December 31, 2019 and finally adjusted to $426 million in 2020. For the purchase accounting, Millicom determined the final fair values of Nicaragua's identifiable assets and liabilities based on transaction and relative fair values. The purchase accounting was finalized by May 16, 2020 and has not materially changed since December 31, 2019, with the exception of the final price adjustment.
The final purchase accounting and differences compared to the provisional fair values reported as at December 31, 2019 are shown below:
Provisional Fair values (100%)

Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, net 210  210   
Acquisition price 430  426  (4)
Goodwill 220  216  (4)
(i)    Intangible assets not previously recognized at the date of acquisition, are mainly customer lists for an amount of $81 million, with estimated useful lives ranging from 4 to 10 years. In addition, a fair value step-up of $39 million on the spectrum held by Nicaragua has been recognized, with a remaining useful life of 14 years.
(ii)    A fair value step-up of $39 million has been recognized on property, plant and equipment, mainly on the core network ($25 million) and owned land and buildings ($8 million). The expected remaining useful lives were estimated at 6-7 years on average.
(iii)    The Group measured the lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments (as defined in IFRS 16) as if the acquired lease were a new lease at the acquisition date. The right-of-use assets have been adjusted by $7 million to be measured at the same amount as the lease liabilities.
(iv)    Current assets include indemnification assets for tax contingencies at a fair value of $11 million - see (v) below.
(v)    The fair value of trade receivables acquired was $17 million.
(vi)    Other liabilities include the fair value of certain possible tax contingent liabilities for $1 million and a deferred tax liability of $50 million resulting from the above adjustments
The goodwill is currently not tax deductible, and is attributable to expected synergies and convergence with our legacy fixed business in the country, as well as to the fair value of the assembled work force. For convenience purposes, the acquisition date was set on May 1, 2019 as there were no material transactions from this date to May 16, 2019. From May 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, Nicaragua contributed $144 million of revenue and a net profit of $5 million to the Group. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2019 incremental revenue for the Group for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2019 would have been $219 million and incremental net loss for that period would have been $16 million, including amortization of assets not previously recognized of $12 million (net of tax).
Key assumptions used in fixed assets valuation
The following valuation methods and key estimates were used for the valuation of the main classes of fixed assets:

b) Panama Acquisition
This transaction closed on August 29, 2019 after receipt of the necessary approvals and, since that date, Cable Onda, which is 80% owned by Millicom, holds all voting rights in Grupo de Comunicaciones Digitales, S.A., formerly Telefonica Moviles Panama, S.A.,("Panama") and controls it. On the same day, Cable Onda paid an original cash consideration of $594 million to acquire 100% of the shares of Panama, finally adjusted to $587 million during Q3 2020. No non-controlling interests are recognized at acquisition date as Cable Onda acquired 100% of the shares of Panama. However, non-controlling interests are recognized on Panama's results from the date of acquisition.
For the purchase accounting, Millicom determined the fair value of Panama's identifiable assets and liabilities based on transaction and relative fair values. During 2020, the Group completed the policy alignment and evaluation in respect of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, the property plant and equipment, as well as their related effect on the final valuation of the other fixed assets. The related effects of these adjustments are shown in the table below.
The updated provisional purchase accounting and differences compared to the provisional fair values reported as at December 31, 2019 are shown below:
Provisional Fair values (100%) Final Fair values (100%) Differences

Goodwill 426 403 (23)
(i)    Intangible assets not previously recognized at the date of acquisition, are mainly customer lists for an amount of $55 million, with estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 17 years. In addition, a fair value step-up of $7 million on the spectrum held by Panama has been recognized, with a remaining useful life of 17 years. Finally, a fair value step-up of $3 million has been recognised on certain software.
(ii)     A fair value step-up of $17 million has been recognized on property, plant and equipment, mainly on the core network ($11 million) and owned land and buildings ($4 million). The expected remaining useful lives were estimated at 3 to 8 years.
(iii)     The accounting policy alignment resulted in an increase in the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $30 million. Subsequently, the right-of-use assets have been adjusted by $4 million to be measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities.
(iv)     The fair value of trade receivables acquired was $21 million.
(v)    Other liabilities include a deferred tax liability of $21 million resulting from the above adjustments

The goodwill is currently not tax deductible and is attributable to expected synergies and convergence with Cable Onda, as well as to the fair value of the assembled work force. For convenience purposes, the acquisition date was set on September 1, 2019. From September 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, Panama contributed $80 million of revenue and a net profit of $6 million to the Group. If Panama had been acquired on January 1, 2019 incremental revenue for the Group for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2019 would have been $158 million and incremental net profit for that period would have been $1 million, including amortization of assets not previously recognized of $3 million (net of tax).
As mentioned above, the impact of the finalization of Panama's purchase accounting on the 2019 Group statement of income was immaterial and, therefore, no adjustments were made on comparative figures in that respect.

2. Tanzania restructuring
In October 2019, with the view of listing the shares of MIC Tanzania Public Limited Company ('MIC Tanzania') on the local stock exchange (see note H.), Millicom completed the restructuring of its investments in different operations in the country. Mainly, MIC Tanzania acquired all the shares of Zantel, which was partially held by the Government of Zanzibar (15%). In exchange of the contribution of its 15% shares in Zantel to MIC Tanzania, the Government of Zanzibar received 1.5% of newly issued shares in MIC Tanzania. This restructuring did not result in the Group losing control in Zantel nor MIC Tanzania, and has therefore been recognized as an equity transaction. As a consequence, the Group owners’ equity decreased by a net amount of $18 million as a result of the derecognition of the 15% non-controlling interests in Zantel and the recognition of 1.5% non-controlling interests in MIC Tanzania.
3. Others
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Group also completed minor additional acquisitions.

A.1.3. Disposal of subsidiaries and decreases in non-controlling interests of subsidiaries
Chad
On June 26, 2019, the Group completed the disposal of its operations in Chad for a cash consideration of $110 million. In August 2020, the Group and the buyer of our operations in Chad agreed on a final price adjustment of $8 million in favor of the buyer. In accordance with Group practices, the Chad operation had been classified as assets held for sale and discontinued operations as from June 5, 2019 and comparative periods restated. On June 26, 2019, Chad was deconsolidated and a gain on disposal of $77 million was recognized (see also note E.4.).
Rwanda
On December 19, 2017, Millicom announced that it has signed an agreement for the sale of its Rwanda operations to subsidiaries of Bharti Airtel Limited for a final cash consideration of $51 million, including a deferred cash payment for an amount of $18 million which has been settled in January 2020. The transaction also included earn-outs for $7 million that were not recognized by the Group as management does not believe these would be triggered. The sale was completed on January 31, 2018. In accordance with Group practices, Rwanda operations’ assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale on January 23, 2018. Rwanda’s operations also represented a separate geographical area and did qualify for discontinued operations presentation; results were therefore shown on a single line in the statements of income under ‘Profit (loss) for the year from discontinued operations, net of tax’ (see also note E.4.).
Senegal
On July 28, 2017, Millicom announced that it had agreed to sell its Senegal business to a consortium consisting of NJJ, Sofima (managed by the Axian Group) and Teylium Group. In accordance with Group practices, Senegal operations’ assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale on February 2, 2017. Senegal’s operations also represented a separate geographical area and did qualify for discontinued operations. The sale was completed on April 27, 2018 in exchange of a cash consideration of $151 million. (see also note E.4.)
Other disposals
For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, Millicom did not dispose of any other significant investments.

A.2. Joint ventures
Joint ventures are businesses over which Millicom exercises joint control as decisions over the relevant activities of each require unanimous consent of shareholders. Millicom determines the existence of joint control by reference to joint venture agreements, articles of association, structures and voting protocols of the board of directors of those ventures.
At December 31, 2020, the equity accounted net assets of our joint ventures in Guatemala, Honduras and Ghana totaled $3,072 million (December 31, 2019: $3,346 million for Guatemala and Honduras only). These net assets do not necessarily represent statutory reserves available for distribution as these include consolidation adjustments (such as goodwill and identified assets and assumed liabilities recognized as part of the purchase accounting). Out of these reserves, $153 million (December 31, 2019: $142 million) represent statutory reserves that are unavailable to be distributed to the Group. During the year ended December 31, 2020, Millicom’s joint ventures paid $71 million (December 31, 2019: $237 million) as dividends or dividend advances to the Company.
Our main joint ventures are as follows:
Entity
Country
Activity
December 31, 2020 % holding December 31, 2019 % holding
Comunicaciones Celulares S.A. (i) Guatemala Mobile, MFS 55 55
Navega.com S.A. (i) Guatemala Cable, DTH 55 55
Telefonica Celular S.A. (i) Honduras Mobile, MFS 66.7 66.7
Navega S.A. de CV (i) Honduras Cable 66.7 66.7
Bharti Airtel Ghana Holdings B.V. Ghana Mobile, MFS 50 50
(i)Millicom owns more than 50% of the shares in these entities and has the right to nominate a majority of the directors of each of these entities. However, key decisions over the relevant activities must be taken by a super majority vote. This effectively gives either shareholder the ability to veto any decision and therefore neither shareholder has sole control over the entity. Therefore, the operations of these joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method.
The carrying values of Millicom’s investments in joint ventures were as follows:

(i)    Share of profit (loss) is recognized under ‘Share of profit in the joint ventures in Guatemala and Honduras’ in the statement of income.
(ii)    Share of profit (loss) is recognized under ‘Income (loss) from other joint ventures and associates, net’ in the statement of income.
(iii)     See note G.5.
At December 31, 2020 and 2019 the Group had not incurred obligations, nor made payments on behalf of the Guatemala, Honduras or Ghana operations.

A.2.1. Accounting for joint ventures
Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost (calculated at fair value if it was a subsidiary of the Group before becoming a joint venture). The Group’s investments in joint ventures include goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) on acquisition.
The Group’s share of post-acquisition profits or losses of joint ventures is recognized in the consolidated statement of income and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognized in reserves. Cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investments. When the Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless the Group has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures.
Gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint ventures. Losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Dilution gains and losses arising in investments in joint ventures are recognized in the statement of income.
After application of the equity method, including recognizing the joint ventures’ losses, the Group applies IFRS 9 to determine whether it is necessary to recognize any additional impairment loss with respect to its net investment in the joint venture.

A.2.2. Material joint ventures – Guatemala, Honduras and Ghana operations
Summarized financial information for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 of the Guatemala Honduras and Ghana operations is as follows. This information is based on amounts before inter-company eliminations.

Guatemala financing
In 2014, Intertrust SPV (Cayman) Limited, acting as trustee of the Comcel Trust, a trust established and consolidated by Comcel for the purposes of the transaction, issued $800 million 6.875% Senior Notes to refinance existing local and MIC S.A. corporate debt. The bond was issued at 98.233% of the principal and had an effective interest rate of 7.168%. The bond was guaranteed by Comcel and listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

On November 18, 2020, the $800 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due 2024 was early redeemed at a redemption price equal to 102.292%of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest of $16 million, resulting in an aggregate amount of $834 million. The redemption premium ($18 million) and additional interest ($7 million), as well as the remaining unamortized deferred costs of $8 million were recorded as financial expenses during the year. This early redemption was financed through local financing in local currency as well as by shareholder loans (see note G.5.).
The impact on the Group's statement of income is a $18 million expense (at 55% ownership) reported on the line "Share of profit in the joint ventures in Guatemala and Honduras".
On October 5, 2020, Comcel executed a credit agreement with Banco Industrial for GTQ 1,697 million (approximately $218 million using the exchange rate as of December 31, 2020) for a 5 year term to refinance other credit agreements with Banco Industrial and to finance and refinance working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes.

A.2.3. Impairment of investment in joint ventures
While no impairment triggers were identified for the Group’s investments in joint ventures in 2020, according to its policy, management have completed an impairment test for its joint ventures in Guatemala and Honduras (our investment in Ghana was not tested for impairment as its carrying value is nil since 2019).
The Group’s investments in Guatemala and Honduras operations were tested for impairment by assessing their recoverable amount (using a value in use model based on discounted cash flows) against their carrying amounts. The cash flow projections used were extracted from financial budgets approved by management and reviewed by the Board (refer to note E.1.6. for further details on impairment testing). Cash flows beyond this period have been extrapolated using a perpetual growth rate of 1% (2019: 1.1%–1.2%. Discount rates used in determining recoverable amounts were 8.6% and 9.0%, respectively (2019: 9.5% and 9.7%).
For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and as a result of the impairment testing described above, management concluded that none of the Group’s investments in joint ventures should be impaired.
Sensitivity analysis was performed on key assumptions within the impairment tests. The sensitivity analysis determined that sufficient headroom exists from realistic changes to the assumptions that would not impact the overall results of the testing.

A.3. Investments in associates
Millicom’s investments in Helios Towers Africa Ltd (HTA) and in the African online business (AIH) became listed companies during 2019, and Millicom resigned from its board of directors' positions in both companies, having as an effect the loss of its significant influence. Both investments are now accounted for as equity instruments (see note C.7.3.). Millicom has significant influence over other immaterial associates as shown below.

A.3.1. Accounting for investments in associates
The Group accounts for associates in the same way as it accounts for joint ventures.

A.3.2. Impairment of interests in associates
MKC Brilliant Holding GmbH (LIH)
Millicom’s 35.0% investment in LIH had been fully impaired in two stages (by $40 million in 2016 and $48 million in 2017) as a result of the annual impairment test conducted back then. The impairment test performed in 2020 confirms this conclusion.

A.4. Discontinued operations
A.4.1. Classification of discontinued operations
Discontinued operations are those which have identifiable operations and cash flows (for both operating and management purposes) and represent a major line of business or geographic area which has been disposed of, or are held for sale. Revenue and expenses associated with discontinued operations are presented retrospectively in a separate line in the consolidated statement of income. Millicom determined that the loss of path to control of operations by the termination of a contractual arrangement (e.g. termination without exercise of an unconditional call option agreement giving path to control, as occurred with the Guatemala and Honduras operations) does not require presentation as a discontinued operation.

B.1.1. Accounting for revenue
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.
The Group applies the following practical expedients foreseen in IFRS 15:

F-36

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018
TIGO-20201231_G8.JPG
No adjustment to the transaction price for the means of a financing component whenever the period between the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and the associated payment is one year or less; when the period is more than one year the financing component is adjusted, if material.
Disclosure in the Group Financial Statements the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations only for contracts that have an original expected duration of more than one year (e.g. unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts that have an original duration of one year or less are not disclosed).
Application of the practical expedient not to disclose the price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations, if the consideration from a customer corresponds to the value of the entity’s performance obligation to the customer (i.e, if billing corresponds to accounting revenue).
Application of the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that otherwise would have been recognized is one year or less.
Post-paid connection fees are derived from the payment of a non-refundable / one-time fee charged to customer to connect to the network (e.g. connection / installation fee). Usually, it does not represent a distinct good or service, and therefore does not give rise to a separate performance obligation and revenue is recognized over the minimum contract duration. However, if the fee is paid by a customer to get the right to receive goods or services without having to pay this fee again over his tenure with the Group (e.g. the customer can readily extend his contract without having to pay the same fee again), it is accounted for as a material right and revenue should be recognized over the customer retention period.
Post-paid mobile / cable subscription fees are recognized over the relevant enforceable/subscribed service period (recurring monthly access fees that do not vary based on usage). The service provision is usually considered as a series of distinct services that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Remaining unrecognized subscription fees, which are not refunded to the customers, are fully recognized once the customer has been disconnected.
Prepaid scratch / SIM cards are services where customers purchase a specified amount of airtime or other credit in advance. Revenue is recognized as the credit is used. Unused credit is carried in the statement of financial position as a contract liability. Upon expiration of the validity period, the portion of the contract liability relating to the expiring credit is recognized as revenue, since there is no longer an obligation to provide those services.
Telephone and equipment sales are recognized as revenue once the customer obtains control of the good. That criteria is fulfilled when the customer has the ability to direct the use and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good.
Revenue from provision of Mobile Financial Services (MFS) is recognized once the primary service has been provided to the customer.
Customer premise equipment (CPE) are provided to customers as a prerequisite to receive the subscribed Home services and shall be returned at the end of the contract duration. Since CPEs provided over the contract term do not provide benefit to the customer on their own, they do not give rise to separate performance obligations and therefore are accounted for as part of the service provided to the customers.
Bundled offers are considered arrangements with multiple deliverables or elements, which can lead to the identification of separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized in accordance with the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the relative standalone selling price of the performance obligation (e.g. sale of telecom services, revenue over time + sale of handset, revenue at a point in time).
Principal-Agent, some arrangements involve two or more unrelated parties that contribute to providing a specified good or service to a customer. In these instances, the Group determines whether it has promised to provide the specified good or service itself (as a principal) or to arrange for those specified goods or services to be provided by another party (as an agent). For example, performance obligations relating to services provided by third-party content providers (i.e., mobile Value Added Services or “VAS”) or service providers (i.e., wholesale international traffic) where the Group neither controls a right to the provider’s service nor controls the underlying service itself are presented net because the Group is acting as an agent. The Group generally acts as a principal for other types of services where the Group is the primary obligor of the arrangement. In cases the Group determines that it acts as a principal, revenue is recognized in the gross amount, whereas in cases the Group acts as an agent revenue is recognized in the net amount.
Revenue from the sale of cables, fiber, wavelength or capacity contracts, when part of the ordinary activities of the operation, is recognized as recurring revenue. Revenue is recognized when the cable, fiber, wavelength or capacity has been delivered to the customer, based on the amount expected to be received from the customer.
Revenue from operating lease of tower space is recognized over the period of the underlying lease contracts. Finance leases revenue is apportioned between lease of tower space and interest income.

Significant judgments
The determination of the standalone selling price for contracts that involve more than one performance obligation may require significant judgment, such as when the selling price of a good or service is not readily observable.
The Group determines the standalone selling price of each performance obligation in the contract in accordance to the prices that the Group would apply when selling the same services and/or telephone and equipment included in the obligation to a similar customer on a standalone basis. When standalone selling price of services and/or telephone and equipment are not directly observable, the Group maximizes the use of external input and uses the expected cost plus margin approach to estimate the standalone selling price.

B.2.1. Accounting for cost of sales and operating expenses
Cost of sales
Cost of sales is recorded on an accrual basis.
Incremental costs of obtaining a contract
Incremental costs of obtaining a contract, including dealer commissions, are capitalized as Contract Costs in the statement of financial position and amortized in operating expenses over the expected benefit period, which is based on the average duration of contracts with customer (see practical expedient in note B.1.1.).
Operating leases - until 2018 year-end
Operating leases were all leases that did not qualify as finance leases. Operating lease payments were recognized as expenses in the consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

B.3. Segmental information
Management determines operating and reportable segments based on information used by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make strategic and operational decisions from both a business and geographic perspective. The Group’s risks and rates of return are predominantly affected by operating in different geographical regions. The Group has businesses in two main regions: Latin America ("Latam") and Africa. The Latam figures below include Honduras and Guatemala as if they are fully consolidated by the Group, as this reflects the way management reviews and uses internally reported information to make decisions. Honduras and Guatemala are shown under the Latam segment. The joint venture in Ghana is not reported as if fully consolidated.
As from January 1, 2020, Millicom is allocating corporate costs to each segment based on their contribution to underlying revenue, and only non-recurring costs, such as the M&A-related fees incurred in 2019, will remain unallocated going forward. This change in presentation has no impact on Group EBITDA.
In order to facilitate comparisons of December 31, 2020 figures with prior periods, comparative figures have been re-presented to conform with this new segment EBITDA reporting.
Revenue, operating profit (loss), EBITDA and other segment information for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, were as follows:

Deferred share plan (unchanged since 2014, except for vesting schedule)
Until 2018 deferred awards plan, participants were granted shares based on past performance, with 16.5% of the shares vesting on January 1 of each of year one and two, and the remaining 67% on 1 January of year three. Beginning with the 2019 plan, while all other guidelines remain the same, shares vest with 30% on January 1 of each of year one and two, and the remaining 40% on 1 January of year three. Vesting is conditional upon the participant remaining employed with Millicom at each vesting date. The cost of this long-term incentive plan, which is not conditional on performance conditions, is calculated as follows:
Fair value (share price) of Millicom’s shares at grant date x number of shares expected to vest.
Performance share plan (for plans issued in 2016 and 2017)
Shares granted under this performance share plan vested at the end of the three-year period, subject to performance conditions, 25% based on Positive Absolute Total Shareholder Return (Absolute TSR), 25% based on Relative Total Shareholder Return (Relative TSR) and 50% based on budgeted Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) minus Capital Expenditure
(Capex) minus Change in Working Capital (CWC) (Free Cash Flow).
As the TSRs measures are market conditions, the fair value of the shares in the performance share plan required consideration of potential adjustments for future market-based conditions at grant date. For this, a specific valuation had been performed at grant date based on the probability of the TSR conditions being met (and to which extent) and the expected payout based upon leaving conditions.
The Free Cash Flows (FCF) condition is a non-market measure which had been considered together with the leaving estimate and
based initially on a 100% fulfillment expectation. The reference share price for this condition is the same share price as the share
price for the deferred share plan above.
Performance share plan (for plans issued from 2018)
Shares granted under this performance share plan vest at the end of the three-year period, subject to performance conditions, 25% based on Relative Total Shareholder Return (“Relative TSR”), 25% based on the achievement of the Service Revenue target measured on a 3-year CAGRs from year one to year three of the plan (“Service Revenue”) and 50% based on the achievement of the Operating Free Cash Flow (“Operating Free Cash Flow”) target measured on a 3-year CAGRs from year one to year three of the plan. From 2020 onwards, the Operating Free Cash Flow target has been redefined to consider payments made in respect of leases. As a result, the target is since then the Operating Free Cash Flow after Leases ("OFCFaL").
For the performance share plans, and in order to calculate the fair value of the TSR portion of those plans, it is necessary to make a number of assumptions which are set out below. The assumptions have been set based on an analysis of historical data as at grant date.

Performance share plan 2018 (Relative TSR) (0.39) 3.21  30.27  2.93  57.70

Performance share plan 2017 (Absolute TSR) (0.40) 3.80  22.50  2.92  29.16 
Performance share plan 2016 (Relative TSR) (0.65) 3.49  30.00  2.61  43.35 
Performance share plan 2016 (Absolute TSR) (0.65) 3.49  30.00  2.61  45.94 
(i)    Historical volatility retained was determined on the basis of a three-year historic average.
The cost of the long-term incentive plans which are conditional on market conditions is calculated as follows:
Fair value (market value) of shares at grant date (as calculated above) x number of shares expected to vest.
The cost of these plans is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity (share compensation reserve), over the period in which the performance and/or employment conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award. Adjustments are made to the expense recorded for forfeitures, mainly due to management and employees leaving Millicom. Non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair

value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition. These are treated as vested, regardless of whether or not the market conditions are satisfied, provided that all other performance conditions are satisfied. Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognized as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

B.4.2. Pension and other long-term employee benefit plans
Pension plans
The pension plans apply to employees who meet certain criteria (including years of service, age and participation in collective agreements).
Pension and other similar employee related obligations can result from either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. No further payment obligations exist once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expenses when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as assets to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
Defined benefit pension plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The liability recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of the defined benefit pension plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the statement of financial position date less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows, using an appropriate discount rate based on maturities of the related pension liability.
Re-measurement of net defined benefit liabilities are recognized in other comprehensive income and not reclassified to the statement of income in subsequent years.
Past service costs are recognized in the statement of income on the earlier of the date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and the date that the Group recognizes related restructuring costs.
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit asset/liability.

Long-service plans
Long-service plans apply for Colombian subsidiary UNE employees with more than five years of service whereby additional bonuses are paid to employees that reach each incremental length of service milestone (from five to 40 years).
Termination plans
In addition, UNE has a number of employee defined benefit plans. The level of benefits provided under the plans depends on collective employment agreements and Colombian labor regulations. There are no defined assets related to the plans, and UNE make payments to settle obligations under the plans out of available cash balances.
At December 31, 2020, the defined benefit obligation liability amounted to $59 million (2019: $59 million) and payments expected in the plans in future years totals $95 million (2019: $106 million). The average duration of the defined benefit obligation at December 31, 2020 is 6 years (2019: 6 years). The termination plans apply to employees that joined UNE prior to December 30, 1996. The level of payments depends on the number of years in which the employee has worked before retirement or termination of their contract with UNE.
Except for the UNE pension plan described above, there are no other significant defined benefits plans in the Group.

B.6.2. Current tax assets and liabilities
Current tax assets and liabilities for current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rate and tax laws used to compute the amount are those enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.

B.6.3. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method on temporary differences at the statement of financial position date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting, nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all temporary differences including unused tax credits and tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized, except where the

F-50

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018
TIGO-20201231_G8.JPG
deferred tax assets relate to deductible temporary differences from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination, and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting, nor taxable profit or loss. It is probable that taxable profit will be available when there are sufficient taxable temporary differences relating to the same tax authority and the same taxable entity which are expected to reverse in the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to utilize them. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each statement of financial position date and are recognized to the extent it is probable that future taxable profit will enable the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate expected to apply in the year when the assets are realized or liabilities settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset where legally enforceable set off rights exist and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

With effect from 2017, Luxembourg tax losses incurred may be carried forward for a maximum of 17 years. Losses incurred before 2017 may be carried forward without limitation of time.
At December 31, 2020, Millicom had $621 million of unremitted earnings of Millicom operating subsidiaries for which no deferred tax liabilities were recognized (2019: $697 million; 2018: $584 million). Except for intragroup dividends to be paid out of 2020 profits in 2021 for which deferred tax of $11 million (2019: $26 million; 2018 $34 million) has been provided, it is anticipated that intragroup dividends paid in future periods will be made out of profits of future periods.

B.7. Earnings per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, plus the weighted average number of dilutive potential shares.

C. Capital structure and financing

C.1. Share capital, share premium and reserves
Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.
Where any Group company purchases the Company’s share capital, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs, is shown under Treasury shares and deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders until the shares are canceled, reissued or disposed of. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental costs and the related income tax effects is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018
TIGO-20201231_G8.JPG
C.1.1. Legal reserve
If Millicom International Cellular S.A. reports an annual net profit on a non-consolidated basis, Luxembourg law requires appropriation of an amount equal to at least 5% of the annual net profit to a legal reserve until such reserve equals 10% of the issued share capital. This reserve is not available for dividend distribution. No appropriation was required in 2019 or 2020 as the 10% minimum level was reached in 2011 and maintained each subsequent year.

C.1.2. Equity settled transaction reserve
The cost of LTIPs is recognized as an increase in the equity-settled transaction reserve over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are rendered. When shares under the LTIPs vest and are issued the corresponding reserve is transferred to share premium.

C.1.3. Hedge reserve
The effective portions of changes in value of cash flow hedges are recorded in the hedge reserve (see note C.1. ).

C.1.4. Currency translation reserve
In the financial statements, the relevant captions in the statements of financial position of subsidiaries without US dollar functional currencies are translated to US dollars using the closing exchange rate. Statements of income or statement of income captions (including those of joint ventures and associates) are translated to US dollars at monthly average exchange rates during the year. The currency translation reserve includes foreign exchange gains and losses arising from these translations. When the Group disposes of or loses control or significant influence over a foreign operation, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as part of gain or loss on sale or loss of control and/or significant influence.

C.2. Dividend distributions
On June 25, 2020, as a result of the uncertainties triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic and Group's shareholders consciousness to protect the Group's liquidity, the shareholders decided not to proceed to the payment of a dividend related to 2019 profits.
On May 2, 2019, a dividend distribution of $2.64 per share from Millicom’s retained profits at December 31, 2018, was approved by the shareholders at the AGM and paid in equal portions in May and November 2019.
On May 4, 2018, a dividend distribution of $2.64 per share from Millicom’s retained profits at December 31, 2017, was approved by the shareholders at the AGM and paid in equal portions in May and November 2018.
The ability of the Company to make dividend payments is subject to, among other things, the terms of indebtedness, legal restrictions and the ability to repatriate funds from Millicom’s various operations. At December 31, 2020, $310 million (December 31, 2019: $306 million; December 31, 2018: $324 million) of Millicom’s retained profits represent statutory reserves that are unavailable to be distributed to owners of the Company.

•    Rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
•    Rights to receive cash flows from the asset or obligations to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay have been transferred to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and the Group has either transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset or the control of the asset.
When rights to receive cash flows from an asset have been transferred or a pass-through arrangement concluded, an evaluation is made if and to what extent the risks and rewards of ownership have been retained. When the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement in the asset. In that case, the Group also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or canceled, or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of income.

C.3.4. Guarantees and pledged assets
Guarantees
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Group are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognized initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date and the amount recognized, less cumulative amortization.

Pledged assets
As at December 31, 2020, the Group’s share of total debt and financing secured by either pledged assets, pledged deposits issued to cover letters of credit, or guarantees issued was $287 million (December 31, 2019: $464 million). Assets pledged by the Group over these debts and financings amounted to nil at December 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019: $1 million). The remainder represented primarily guarantees issued by Millicom S.A. to guarantee financings raised by other Group operating entities.
In addition to the above, on June 4, 2019, MIC Tanzania Public Limited Company entered into a loan facility agreement which was further amended and restated on December 12, 2019, with the Standard Bank of South Africa acting as an agent and a consortium of banks acting as the original lenders. The facility agreement, maturing in 2025, has an all asset debenture securing the whole amount, as well as a pledge over the shares of the immediate holding company of the borrower.

C.3.5. Covenants
Millicom’s financing facilities are subject to a number of covenants including net leverage ratio, debt service coverage ratios, or debt to earnings ratios, among others. In addition, certain of its financings contain restrictions on sale of businesses or significant assets within the businesses. At December 31, 2020, there were no breaches of financial covenants.

C.4. Lease liabilities
At December 31, 2020, lease liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position as follows:
December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019(i)
(US$ millions)
Current 123  107 
Non-Current 897  988 
Total Lease liabilities 1,021  1,096 
(i)    Restated as a result of the finalization of the purchase accounting of our acquisition in Panama (note A.1.2.).

As permitted under IFRS 16, Millicom has elected not to recognize a lease liability for short term leases (leases with an expected term of 12 months or less) or for leases of low value assets. Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and vehicles and all leases of low-value assets are rather recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in the statement of income. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture. In addition, certain variable lease payments are not permitted to be recognized as lease liabilities and are expensed as incurred.
The expenses relating to payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability are disclosed in operating expenses (note B.3.) and are as follows:

2020 2019
(US$ millions)
Expense relating to short-term leases (included in cost of sales and operating expenses) (1) (5)
The total cash outflow for leases in 2020 was $267 million (2019: $249 million). Lease liabilities split by maturity and future cash outflows are disclosed in note D.5..
At December 31, 2020, the Group has not committed to any material leases which had not yet commenced and has no material lease contracts with variable lease payments.
The Group's leasing activities and how these are accounted for
The Group leases various lands, sites, towers (including those related to towers sold and leased back), offices, warehouses, retail stores, equipment and cars. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods but may have extension options as described below. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.
Through December 31, 2018, leases of property, plant and equipment were classified as either finance or operating leases. Under IAS 17, leases which transferred substantially all risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item to the lessee were capitalized at the inception of the lease. The amount capitalized was the lower of the fair value of the asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) were charged to the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Still under IAS 17, the sale and leaseback of towers and related site operating leases and service contracts were accounted for in accordance with the underlying characteristics of the assets, and the terms and conditions of the lease agreements. When sale and leaseback agreements were concluded, the portions of assets that will not be leased back by Millicom were classified as assets held for sale as completion of their sale was highly probable. Asset retirement obligations related to the towers were classified as liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale. On transfer to the tower companies, the portion of the towers leased back were accounted for as operating leases or finance leases according to the criteria set out above. The portion of towers being leased back represented the dedicated part of each tower on which Millicom’s equipment was located and was derived from the average technical capacity of the towers. Rights to use the land on which the towers were located were accounted for as operating leases, and costs of services for the towers were recorded as operating expenses. The gain on disposal was recognized upfront for the portion of towers that is not leased back, and was deferred and recognized over the term of the lease for the portion leased back.
From January 1, 2019, leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the reduction of the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the statement of income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable
variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate
amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees
the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. As it is generally impracticable to determine that rate, the Group uses the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions. The incremental borrowing rate applied can have a significant impact on the net present value of the lease liability recognized under IFRS 16.
The Group determines the incremental borrowing rate by country and by considering the risk-free rate, the country risk, the industry risk, the credit risk and the currency risk, as well as the lease and payment terms and dates.
The Group is also exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is adjusted against the right-of-use asset by discounting the revised lease payments using either the initial discount rate or a revised discount rate. The initial discount rate is used if future lease payments are reflecting market or index rates or if they are in

substance fixed. The discount rate is revised, if a change in floating interest rates occurs. The Group reassesses the variable payment only when there is a change in cash flows resulting from a change in the reference index or rate and not at each reporting date.
According to IFRS 16, lease term is defined as the non-cancellable period for which a lessee has the right to use an underlying asset, together with both: (a) periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and (b) periods covered by an option to terminate if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. The assessment of such options is performed at the commencement of a lease. As part of the assessment, Millicom introduced the 'time horizon concept': the reasonable term under which the company expects to use a leased asset considering economic incentives, management decisions, business plans and the fast-paced industry Millicom operates in. The assessment must be focused on the economic incentives for Millicom to exercise (or not) an option to early terminate/extend a contract. The Group has decided to work on the basis the lessor will generally accept a renewal/not early terminate a contract, as there is an economic incentive to maintain the contractual relationship.
Millicom considered the specialized nature of most of its assets under lease, the low likelihood the lessor can find a third party to substitute Millicom as a lessee and past practice to conclude that, the lease term can go beyond the notice period when there is more than an insignificant penalty for the lessor not to renew the lease. This analysis requires judgment and has a significant impact on the lease liability recognized under IFRS 16.
Under IFRS 16, the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions has changed as the underlying sale transaction needs to be first analyzed using the guidance of IFRS 15. The seller/lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset in the amount of the proportional original carrying amount that relates to the right of use retained. Accordingly, only the proportional amount of gain or loss from the sale must be recognized. The impact from sale and leaseback transactions was not material for Millicom Group as of the date of initial application.
Finally, the Group has taken the additional following decisions when adopting the standard:
Non-lease components are capitalized (IFRS16.15)
Intangible assets are out of IFRS 16 scope (IFRS16.4)

C.7. Financial instruments
i) Equity and debt instruments
Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
those to be measured subsequently at fair value either through Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), or through profit or loss, and
those to be measured at amortized cost.
The classification depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
Debt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the group classifies its debt instruments:
Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognized directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains / (losses), together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the consolidated statement of income.
•    FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognized in ‘Other non-operating (expenses) income, net’. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment expenses are presented as ‘Other non-operating (expenses) income, net’ in the consolidated statement of income.
•    FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognized in profit or loss and presented net within ‘Other non-operating (expenses) income, net’ in the period in which it arises.
Equity instruments
The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. The Group does not hold equity instruments for trading. Where the Group’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Purchases and sales of equity instruments are recognized as of their settlement date. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognized in profit or loss as other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.
Otherwise, changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognized in ‘Other non-operating (expenses) income, net’ in the consolidated statement of income as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018
TIGO-20201231_G8.JPG
Impairment
From January 1, 2018, the Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortized cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the trade receivables.
The provision is recognized in the consolidated statement of income within Cost of sales.
ii)    Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value at each subsequent closing date. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group designates certain derivatives as either:
a)    Hedges of the fair value of recognized assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or
b)    Hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction (cash flow hedge).
For transactions designated and qualifying for hedge accounting, at the inception of the transaction, the Group documents the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. This is done in reference to the Group Treasury Policy as last updated and approved by the Audit Committee in late 2020. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis (quarterly), of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.
The full fair value of a hedging instrument is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the period to maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months and as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months. Trading derivatives are classified as a current asset or liability when the remaining period to maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months.
The change in fair value of hedging instruments that are designed and qualify as fair value hedges is recognized in the statement of income as finance costs or income. The change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk hedged is recorded as part of the carrying value of the hedged item and is also recognized in the statement of income as finance costs or income.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. Gains or loss relating to any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of income within Other non-operating (expenses) income, net. Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to the statement of income in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time is recycled to the statement of income within Other non-operating (expenses) income, net.
When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the statement of income within Other non-operating (expenses) income, net.

C.7.1. Fair value measurement hierarchy
Millicom uses the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
The Group enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions with investment grade ratings. Interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts are valued using valuation techniques, which employ the use of markets observable data. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing and swap models using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, yield curves of the respective currencies, interest rate curves and forward curves.

C.7.2. Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of Millicom’s financial instruments are shown at amounts at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The fair value of all financial assets and all financial liabilities, except debt and financing approximate their carrying value largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair values of all debt and financing have been estimated by the Group, based on discounted future cash flows at market interest rates.

C.7.3. Equity investments
As at December 31, 2020 and 2019, Millicom has the following investments in equity instruments:
2020 2019
(US$ millions)
Investment in Jumia —  32 
Investment in HT 160  338 
Equity investment - total 160  371 
Jumia Technologies AG (“Jumia”)
Jumia indirectly owns a number of companies that provide online services and online marketplaces in certain countries in Africa.
In January 2019, Millicom was diluted in the capital of the company following the entry of a new investor. This triggered the recognition of a net dilution gain of $7 million in January 2019. In addition, during Q1 2019, in preparation of Jumia's IPO, Millicom relinquished its seat on the board of directors, which resulted in the loss of the Group's significant influence over Jumia. As a result, Millicom derecognized its investment in associate in Jumia and recognized it as a financial asset (equity instrument) at fair value under IFRS 9. On April 11, 2019, Jumia completed its IPO at the offer price per share of $14.5 and shares started trading on the NYSE on April 12, 2019. As a result, as of March 31, 2019, a net gain of $30 million had been recognized and reported under ‘Income (loss) from associates, net’. Post IPO, Millicom held 6.31% of the outstanding shares of Jumia.
In the course of June 2020, Millicom disposed of its entire stake in Jumia for a total net consideration of $29 million, triggering a net gain on disposal of $15 million recorded in the statement of income under ‘other operating income (expenses), net’. The changes in fair value prior to the disposal were shown under "Other non-operating (expenses) income, net" (note B.5.).
Helios Towers plc (“HT”)
In October 2019, Helios Towers plc (a company inserted as the holding company of HTA just prior to IPO) completed its IPO on the London Stock Exchange at a price of GBP 1.15 per share valuing the company at enterprise value of approximately $2.0 billion and a market capitalization of $1.45 billion.
As part of the listing process, on October 17, 2019, Millicom first was diluted as HT management exercised their IPO option rights (~4%). This event triggered the recognition of a non-cash dilution loss of $3 million recorded under ‘Income/(loss) from other joint ventures and associates’.
On the same day, Millicom resigned from its board of directors seats, which resulted in the loss of the Group's significant influence over HT. As a result, as from that date, Millicom derecognized its investment in associate in HT and recognized it as a financial asset at fair value under IFRS 9. The derecognition of the investment in associate and recognition of the equity investment in HT at a fair value of $292 million triggered the recognition of a net non-cash gain of $208 million recorded under ‘Other non-operating income (expense), net’ in the Group's statement of income. Fair value was determined using the IPO reference share price of GBP1.15.
As a result of the IPO and the subsequent exercise of the overallotment option, Millicom disposed of a portion of its ownership (in total ~20%) yielding $57 million in gross proceeds and $25 million in net proceeds after fees and Millicom's share in tax escrow of $30 million which has been deducted in full from the gain given the high level of uncertainties used in assessing the potential tax liability. These disposals triggered a loss of $32 million, as a result of the tax escrow and transaction fees, and are recorded under ‘Other operating income (expenses), net’.
During 2020, Millicom disposed of a total of 85 million shares that it owned in HT for a total net consideration of GBP 130 million ($169 million), triggering a total net gain on disposal of $6 million recorded in the statement of income under ‘Other operating income (expenses), net’.
As a result of these transactions, at December 31, 2020, Millicom owns a remaining shareholding of 7.6% in HT (2019:16.2%), valued at $160 million (level 1) at the December 31, 2020 share price (£1.53). The changes in fair value are shown under 'Other non-operating (expenses) income, net' (see note B.5.).

C.7.4. Call and put options
Cable Onda call and put options
As part of the acquisition of Cable Onda, the shareholders agreed on certain put and call options as follows - as amended subsequent to the acquisition of Telefonica Panama:
The 'Transaction Price' call and put options are conditional to the occurrence of certain events, such as change of control of Millicom or at any time if Millicom's non-controlling partners’ shareholdings fall below 10%, and become exercisable on the date of the Telefonica Panama closing (August 29, 2019) and extending until June 13, 2022. These put and call options are exercisable at the purchase price in the Cable Onda transaction (enterprise value of $1.46 billion), plus interest at 5% per annum (put) and at 10% per annum (call), respectively. From June 14, 2022, up to July 14, 2022, both options will be unconditional.
In addition, the parties agreed on 'Unconditional' call and put options to acquire the remaining 20% non-controlling interest in Cable Onda becoming exercisable at any time from July 15, 2022, both, at fair market value.
Millicom determined that the 'Transaction Price' put option could be exercised as a result of events falling outside of Millicom's control, and therefore that it met the criteria under IAS 32 for recognition as a liability and a corresponding equity decrease. The put option liability would be payable in Millicom's shares or in cash at the discretion of the partner. Therefore, Millicom recorded a liability for the put option at acquisition completion date of $239 million representing the present value of the redemption amount. As of December 31, 2020, the value of the 'Transaction Price' put option is lower than the 'Unconditional' put option's value, and therefore the Group recognized the put option liability at the higher of both valuations at $262 million (December 31, 2019: $264 million).
At December 31, 2020.The 'Transaction Price' call option has been valued at $3 million (December 31, 2019: nil) using a Monte Carlo simulation model. At December 31, 2020, the 'Unconditional' call option will be exercisable at fair market value and has therefore no value as at December 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019: nil).
The changes in value of the call option asset and put option liability are recorded in the Group's statement of income (see note B.5.).

D. Financial risk management
Exposure to interest rate, foreign currency, non-repatriation, liquidity, capital management and credit risks arise in the normal course of Millicom’s business. Each year Group Treasury revisits and presents to the Audit committee updated Group Treasury policy. The Group analyzes each of these financial risks individually as well as on an interconnected basis and defines and implements strategies to manage the economic impact on the Group’s performance in line with its policy. This policy was last reviewed in late 2020. As part of the annual review of the above mentioned risks, the Group agrees to a strategy over the use of derivatives and natural hedging instruments ranging from raising debt in local currency (where the Company targets to reach 40% of debt in local currency over the medium term) to maintain a combination of up to 75/25% mix between fixed and floating rate debt or agreeing to cover up to six months forward of operating costs and capex denominated in non-functional currencies through a rolling and layering strategy. Millicom’s risk management strategies may include the use of derivatives to the extent a market would exist in the jurisdictions where the Group operates. Millicom’s policy prohibits the use of such derivatives in the context of speculative trading.
Accounting policies for derivatives is further detailed in note C.7. On December 31, 2020 and 2019 fair value of derivatives held by the Group can be summarized as follows:
2020 2019
(US$ millions)
Derivatives
Cash flow hedge derivatives 12  (17)
Net derivative asset (liability) 12  (17)

D.1. Interest rate risk
Debt and financing issued at floating interest rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Debt and financing issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group’s exposure to risk of changes in market interest rates relate to both of the above. To manage this risk, the Group’s policy is to maintain a combination of fixed and floating rate debt with target that more than 75% of the debt be at fixed rate. The Group actively monitors borrowings against this target. The target mix between fixed and floating rate debt is reviewed periodically. The purpose of Millicom’s policy is to achieve an optimal balance between cost of funding and volatility of financial results, while considering market conditions as well as our overall business strategy.

December 31, 2020, approximately 84% of the Group’s borrowings are at a fixed rate of interest or for which variable rates have been swapped for fixed rates with interest rate swaps (2019: 76%).

A 100 basis point fall or rise in market interest rates for all currencies in which the Group had borrowings at December 31, 2020 would increase or reduce profit before tax from continuing operations for the year by approximately $9 million (2019: $14 million).

D.1.2. Interest rate swap contracts
From time to time, Millicom enters into currency and interest rate swap contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and currency fluctuations in accordance with its Financial Risk Management policy. Details of these arrangements are provided below.
MIC S.A. entered into swap contracts in order to hedge the foreign currency and interest rate risks in relation to the SEK 2 billion (~$211 million) senior unsecured sustainability bond issued in May 2019 (note C.3.1.). These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges as the timing and amounts of the cash flows under the swap agreements match the cash flows under the SEK bond. Their maturity date is May 2024. The hedging relationship is highly effective and related fluctuations are recorded through other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2020, the fair values of the swaps amount to an asset of $23 million. (December 31, 2019: a liability of $0.2 million).
In addition, Colombia, El Salvador and Costa Rica operations have also entered into several swap agreements in order to hedge foreign currency and interest rate risks on certain long term debts. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges and related fair value changes are recorded through other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2020, the fair value of El Salvador swaps amount to a liability of $3 million (December 31, 2019: a liability of $3 million), Costa Rica swaps amount to a liability of $5 million and an asset of $1 million (December 31, 2019: liability of $14 million) and the fair value of Colombia swaps amount to a liability of $7 million (December 31, 2019: nil).
Interest rate and currency swaps are measured with reference to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy
There are no other derivative financial instruments with a significant fair value at December 31, 2020.

D.2. Foreign currency risks
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures in the countries in which it operates. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.

F-71

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018
TIGO-20201231_G8.JPG
Millicom seeks to reduce its foreign currency exposure through a policy of matching, as far as possible, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, or entering into agreements that limit the risk of exposure to currency fluctuations against the US dollar reporting currency. In some cases, Millicom may also borrow in US dollars where it is either commercially more advantageous for joint ventures and subsidiaries to incur debt obligations in US dollars or where US dollar denominated borrowing is the only funding source available to a joint venture or subsidiary. In these circumstances, Millicom accepts the remaining currency risk associated with financing its joint ventures and subsidiaries, principally because of the relatively high cost of forward cover, when available, in the currencies in which the Group operates.

D.2.1. Debt denominated in US dollars and other currencies
Debt denomination at December 31

(i) El Salvador's official unit of currency is the U.S. dollar, while Panama uses the U.S. dollar as legal tender. Our local debt in both countries is therefore denominated in U.S. dollars but presented as local currency (LCY).
At December 31, 2020, if the US dollar had weakened/strengthened by 10% against the other functional currencies of our operations and all other variables held constant, then profit before tax from continuing operations would have increased/decreased by $45 million (2019: $17 million). This increase/decrease in profit before tax would have mainly been as a result of the conversion of the USD-denominated net debts in our operations with functional currencies other than the US dollar.

D.2.2. Foreign currency swaps
See note D.1.2. Interest rate swap contracts.

D.3. Non-repatriation risk
Most of Millicom’s operating subsidiaries and joint ventures generate most of the revenue of the Group and in the currency of the countries in which they operate. Millicom is therefore dependent on the ability of its subsidiaries and joint venture operations to transfer funds to the Company.
Although foreign exchange controls exist in some of the countries in which Millicom Group companies operate, none of these controls currently significantly restrict the ability of these operations to pay interest, dividends, technical service fees, royalties or repay loans by exporting cash, instruments of credit or securities in foreign currencies. However, existing foreign exchange controls may be strengthened in countries where the Group operates, or foreign exchange controls may be introduced in countries where the Group operates that do not currently impose such restrictions. If such events were to occur, the Company’s ability to receive funds from the operations could be subsequently restricted, which would impact the Company’s ability to make payments on its interest and loans and, or pay dividends to its shareholders. As a policy, all operations which do not face restrictions to deposit funds offshore and in hard currencies should do so for the surplus cash generated on a weekly basis. The Company and its subsidiaries make use of notional and physical cash pooling arrangements in hard currencies to the extent permitted.
In addition, in some countries it may be difficult to convert large amounts of local currency into foreign currency because of limited foreign exchange markets. The practical effects of this may be time delays in accumulating significant amounts of foreign currency

and exchange risk, which could have an adverse effect on the Group. This is a relatively rare case for the countries in which the Group operates.
Lastly, repatriation most often results in taxation, which is evidenced in the amount of taxes paid by the Group relative to the Corporate Income Tax reported in its statement of income.

D.4. Credit and counterparty risk
Financial instruments that subject the Group to credit risk include cash and cash equivalents, pledged deposits, letters of credit, trade receivables, amounts due from joint venture partners and associates, supplier advances and other current assets and derivatives. Counterparties to agreements relating to the Group’s cash and cash equivalents, pledged deposits and letters of credit are significant financial institutions with investment grade ratings. Management does not believe there are significant risks of non-performance by these counterparties and maintain a diversified portfolio of banking partners. Allocation of deposits across banks are managed such that the Group’s counterparty risk with a given bank stays within limits which have been set, based on each bank’s credit rating.
A large portion of revenue of the Group is comprised of prepaid products and services. For postpaid customers, the Group follows risk control procedures to assess the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Accounts receivable also comprise balances due from other telecom operators. Credit risk of other telecom operators is limited due to the regulatory nature of the telecom industry, in which licenses are normally only issued to credit-worthy companies. The Group maintains a provision for expected credit losses of trade receivables based on its historical credit loss experience.
As the Group has a large number of internationally dispersed customers, there is generally no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables, except for certain B2B customers (mainly governments). See note F.1.

D.5. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Group has significant indebtedness but also has significant cash balances. Millicom evaluates its ability to meet its obligations on an ongoing basis using a recurring liquidity planning tool. This tool considers the operating net cash flows generated from its operations and the future cash needs for borrowing, interest payments, dividend payments and capital and operating expenditures required in maintaining and developing its operating businesses.
The Group manages its liquidity risk through use of bank overdrafts, bank loans, bonds, vendor financing, Export Credit Agencies and Development Finance Institutions (DFI) loans. Millicom believes that there is sufficient liquidity available in the markets to meet ongoing liquidity needs. Additionally, Millicom is able to arrange offshore funding. Millicom has a diversified financing portfolio with commercial banks representing about 20% of its gross financing (2019: 26%), bonds 64% (2019: 58%), Development Finance Institutions 1% (2019: 1%) and leases 15% (2019: 15%).

The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure a strong credit rating and solid capital ratios in order to support its business and maximize shareholder value.
The Group manages its capital structure with reference to local economic conditions and imposed restrictions such as debt covenants. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Group may make dividend payments to shareholders, return capital to shareholders through share repurchases or issue new shares. At December 31, 2020, Millicom was rated at one notch below

The Group reviews its gearing ratio (net financial obligations divided by total capital plus net financial obligations) periodically. Net financial obligations includes interest bearing debt and lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents (included restricted cash) and pledged and time deposits related to bank borrowings. Capital represents equity attributable to the equity holders of the parent.

E. Long-term assets

E.1. Intangible assets
Millicom’s intangible assets mainly consist of goodwill arising from acquisitions, customer lists acquired through acquisitions, licenses and rights to operate and use spectrum.

E.1.1. Accounting for intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired in business acquisitions are initially measured at fair value at the date of acquisition, and those which are acquired separately are measured at cost. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized but expensed to the statement of income in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible assets. Subsequently intangible assets are carried at cost, less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful economic lives using the straight-line method and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at least at each financial year end. Changes in expected useful lives or the expected beneficial use of the assets are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting estimates.
Amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible assets.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of cost of an acquisition over the Group’s share in the fair value of identifiable assets less liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired subsidiary, at the date of the acquisition. If the fair value or the cost of the acquisition can only be determined provisionally, then goodwill is initially accounted for using provisional values. Within 12 months of the acquisition date, any adjustments to the provisional values are recognized. This is done when the fair values and the cost of the

F-75

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018
TIGO-20201231_G8.JPG
acquisition have been finally determined. Adjustments to provisional fair values are made as if the adjusted fair values had been recognized from the acquisition date. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets, net. Goodwill on acquisition of joint ventures or associates is included in investments in joint ventures and associates. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost, less any accumulated impairment losses. Gains or losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed of in this manner is measured, based on the relative values of the operation disposed and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
Licenses
Licenses are recorded at either historical cost or, if acquired in a business combination, at fair value at the date of acquisition. Cost includes cost of acquisition and other costs directly related to acquisition and retention of licenses over the license period. These costs may include estimates related to fulfillment of terms and conditions related to the licenses such as service or coverage obligations, and may include up-front and deferred payments.
Licenses have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the licenses over their estimated useful lives.
The terms of licenses, which have been awarded for various periods, are subject to periodic review for, among other things, rate setting, frequency allocation and technical standards. Licenses are initially measured at cost and are amortized from the date the network is available for use on a straight-line basis over the license period. Licenses held, subject to certain conditions, are usually renewable and generally non-exclusive. When estimating useful lives of licenses, renewal periods are included only if there is evidence to support renewal by the Group without significant cost.
Trademarks and customer lists
Trademarks and customer lists are recognized as intangible assets only when acquired or gained in a business combination. Their cost represents fair value at the date of acquisition. Trademarks and customer lists have indefinite or finite useful lives. Indefinite useful life trademarks are tested for impairment annually. Finite useful life trademarks are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the trademarks and customer lists over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives for trademarks and customer lists are based on specific characteristics of the market in which they exist. Trademarks and customer lists are included in Intangible assets, net.
Estimated useful lives are:
Years
Estimated useful lives
Trademarks 1 to 15
Customer lists 4 to 20
Programming and content rights
Programming and content master rights which are purchased or acquired in business combinations which meet certain criteria are recorded at cost as intangible assets. The rights must be exclusive, related to specific assets which are sufficiently developed, and probable to bring future economic benefits and have validity for more than one year. Cost includes consideration paid or payable and other costs directly related to the acquisition of the rights, and are recognized at the earlier of payment or commencement of the broadcasting period to which the rights relate.
Programming and content rights capitalized as intangible assets have a finite useful life and are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the rights over their estimated useful lives.
Non-exclusive and programming and content rights for periods less than one year are expensed over the period of the rights.
Indefeasible rights of use
There is no universally-accepted definition of an indefeasible rights of use (IRU). These agreements come in many forms. However, the key characteristics of a typical arrangement include:
•    The right to use specified network infrastructure or capacity;
•    For a specified term (often the majority of the useful life of the relevant assets);
•    Legal title is not transferred;

F-76

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018
TIGO-20201231_G8.JPG
•    A number of associated service agreements including operations and maintenance (O&M) and co-location agreements. These are typically for the same term as the IRU; and
•    Any payments are usually made in advance.
IRUs are accounted for either as a lease, or service contract based on the substance of the underlying agreement.
IRU arrangements will qualify as a lease if, and when:
•    The purchaser has an exclusive right for a specified period and has the ability to resell (or sublet) the capacity; and
•    The capacity is physically limited and defined; and
•    The purchaser bears all costs related to the capacity (directly or not) including costs of operation, administration and maintenance; and
•    The purchaser bears the risk of obsolescence during the contract term.
If all of these criteria are not met, the IRU is treated as a service contract.
An IRU of network infrastructure (cables or fiber) is accounted for as a right of use asset (see E.3.), while capacity IRU (wavelength) is accounted for as an intangible asset.
The costs of an IRU recognized as service contract is recognized as prepayment and amortized in the statement of income as incurred over the duration of the contract.

E.1.2. Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date Millicom assesses whether there is an indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for a non-financial asset is required, an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount is made. The recoverable amount is determined based on the higher of its fair value less cost to sell, and its value in use, for individual assets, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.
Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Where no comparable market information is available, the fair value, less cost to sell, is determined based on the estimated future cash flows discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market conditions for the time value of money and risks specific to the asset. The foregoing analysis also evaluates the appropriateness of the expected useful lives of the assets. Impairment losses related to assets of continuing operations are recognized in the consolidated statement of income in expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
At each reporting date an assessment is made as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. Other than for goodwill, a previously recognized impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If so, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. The increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in profit or loss.
After such a reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

E.1.3. Movements in intangible assets
On May 20, 2019, the Group renewed 10MHz of the 1900 MHz spectrum in Colombia for a period of 10 years for an amount of $47 million (payable in five installments from June 2019 to February 2023) and an obligation to build 45 sites during the 20-month period following the renewal (approximately $20 million cost, that will be capitalized once the sites are built). In December 2019, the company substituted its coverage obligation by agreeing to pay the corresponding amount of $20 million in cash in 6 installments between January to June 2020. As a result, Management recognized an addition to spectrum assets and a liability for $20 million.
On July 9, 2019, the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority ('TCRA') issued a notice to cancel the license of Telesis, a subsidiary of Millicom in Tanzania that shared its 4G spectrum with Tigo and Zantel operations in the country. The net carrying value of the Telesis' license amounting to $8 million was therefore impaired during Q3 2019. As a consequence and in order to continue providing 4G services in the country, our operation in Tanzania had to purchase spectrum in the 800MHz band from the TCRA for a period of 15 years and for an amount of $12 million.

In December 2019, Millicom's wholly-owned subsidiary Telemovil El Salvador S.A. de C.V. ('Telemovil') acquired 50Mhz spectrum in the AWS band and paid an advance of $14 million. On January 8, 2020, Telemovil made a final payment of $20 million and started operating the spectrum.
In December 2019, Tigo Colombia participated in an auction launched by the Ministerio de Tecnologias de la Informacion y las Comunicaciones (MINTIC), and acquired licenses granting the right to use a total of 40 MHz in the 700 MHz band. The 20-year license will expire in 2040. As a result of this auction,Tigo Colombia has strengthened its spectrum position, which also includes 55 MHz in the 1900 band and 30 MHz of AWS. Tigo Colombia agreed to a total notional consideration of COP 2.45 billion (equivalent to approximately $710 million using the December 31, 2020 exchange rate), of which approximately 55% is payable in cash and 45% in coverage obligations to be met by 2025.
An initial payment of approximately $33 million was made in 2020, with the remainder payable in 12 annual installments beginning in 2026 and ending in 2037. The 55% cash portion bears interest at the Colombia-10 years Treasury Bond rate. In April and May 2020, local management received permission to operate 40 Mhz in the 700 MHz band and accounted for the spectrum as an Intangible asset at an amount of $388 million corresponding to the net present value of the future payments, plus other costs directly attributable to this acquisition. The related future interest commitments will be recognized as interest expense over the next 17 years. The remaining 45% consideration due as coverage obligations are currently being estimated and will be recognized in the statement of financial position as incurred.

E.1.6. Impairment testing of goodwill
Goodwill from CGUs is tested for impairment at least each year and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.
Goodwill arising on business combinations is allocated to each of the Group’s CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated:
•    Represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes; and
•    Is not larger than an operating segment.
Impairment is determined by assessing the value-in-use and, if appropriate, the fair value less costs to sell of the CGU (or group of CGUs), to which goodwill relates.
Impairment testing at December 31, 2020
Goodwill was tested for impairment by assessing the recoverable amount against the carrying amount of the CGU based on discounted cash flows. The recoverable amounts are based on value-in-use. The value-in-use is determined based on the method of discounted cash flows. The cash flow projections used (operating profit margins, income tax, working capital, capex and license renewal cost) are extracted from business plans approved by management and presented to the Board, covering a fifteen-year planning horizon. The Group uses a fifteen-year planning horizon to obtain a stable business outlook, in particular due to the long investment cycles in the industry and the long-term planned and expected investments in licenses and spectrum. Cash flows beyond this period are extrapolated using a perpetual growth rate. When value-in-use results are lower than the carrying values of the CGUs, management determines the recoverable amount by using the fair value less cost of disposal (FVLCD) of the CGUs. FVLCD is usually determined by using recent offers received from third parties (Level 1).

For the year ended December 31, 2020, management concluded that no impairment should be recorded in the Group consolidated financial statements.
Impairment testing at December 31, 2019
For the year ended December 31, 2019, management concluded that no impairment should be recorded in the Group consolidated financial statements.
Key assumptions used in value in use calculations

The process of preparing the cash flow projections considers the current market condition of each CGU, analyzing the macroeconomic, competitive, regulatory and technological environments, as well as the growth opportunities of the CGUs. Therefore, a growth target is defined for each CGU, based on the appropriate allocation of operating resources and the capital investments required to achieve the target. The foregoing forecasts could differ from the results obtained through time; however, the Company prepares its estimates based on the current situation of each of the CGUs. Relevance of budgets used for the impairment test is also reviewed annually, with management performing regressive analysis between actual figures and budget/Long Range Plans (LRPs) used for previous year impairment test.
The cash flow projections for all CGUs is most sensitive to the following key assumptions:
EBITDA margin is determined by dividing EBITDA by total revenues.
CAPEX intensity is determined by dividing CAPEX by total revenues.
Perpetual growth rate does not exceed the countries' GDP.
Weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) is used to discount the projected cash flows.
The most significant estimates used for the 2020 and 2019 impairment test are shown below:
CGU Average EBITDA margin (%) (i) Average CAPEX intensity (%) (i) Perpetual growth rate (%) WACC rate after tax (%)
2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019

Reasonable changes in key assumptions (%)
Financial variables
WACC rates +/-1
Perpetual growth rates +/-1

E.2. Property, plant and equipment

E.2.1. Accounting for property, plant and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at either historical cost, or the lower of fair value and present value of the future minimum lease payments for assets under finance leases, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to acquisition of items. The carrying amount of replaced parts is derecognized.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the remaining life of the license associated with the assets, unless the renewal of the license is contractually possible.
Estimated useful lives
Duration
Buildings 40 years or lease period, if shorter
Networks (including civil works) 5 to 15 years or lease period, if shorter
Other 2 to 7 years
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The assets’ residual value and useful life is reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if its carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Construction in progress consists of the cost of assets, labor and other direct costs associated with property, plant and equipment being constructed by the Group, or purchased assets which have yet to be deployed. When the assets become operational, the related costs are transferred from construction in progress to the appropriate asset category and depreciation commences.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Ongoing routine repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of income in the financial period in which they are incurred.
Costs of major inspections and overhauls are added to the carrying value of property, plant and equipment and the carrying amount of previous major inspections and overhauls is derecognised.
Equipment installed on customer premises which is not sold to customers is capitalized and amortized over the customer contract period.
A liability for the present value of the cost to remove an asset on both owned and leased sites (for example cell towers) and for assets installed on customer premises (for example set-top boxes), is recognized when a present obligation for the removal exists. The corresponding cost of the obligation is included in the cost of the asset and depreciated over the useful life of the asset, or lease period if shorter.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset when it is probable that such costs will contribute to future economic benefits for the Group and the costs can be measured reliably.

Chad
As mentioned in note A.1.3., on June 26, 2019, the Group completed the disposal of its operations in Chad for a cash consideration of $110 million. On the same date, Chad was deconsolidated and a gain on disposal of $77 million, net of costs of disposal of $4 million, was recognized. Foreign currency exchange losses accumulated in equity of $8 million have also been recycled in the statement of income accordingly. The resulting net gain of $70 million has been recognized under ‘Profit (loss) for the period from discontinued operations, net of tax’. The operating net loss of the operation for the period from January 1, 2019 to June 26, 2019 was $5 million.
In August 2020, the Group and the buyer of our operations in Chad agreed on a final price adjustment of $8 million in favor of the buyer. This price adjustment has been disbursed in September 2020 and recorded under the results from discontinued operations in the Group's statement of income.
The assets and liabilities deconsolidated on the date of the disposal were as follows:

Senegal
As mentioned in note A.1.3. Millicom announced that it had agreed to sell its Senegal business to a consortium consisting of NJJ, Sofima (managed by the Axian Group) and Teylium Group. The sale was completed on April 27, 2018 in exchange of a final cash consideration of $151 million. The operations in Senegal were deconsolidated from that date resulting in a net gain on disposal of $6 million, including the recycling of foreign currency exchange losses accumulated in equity since the creation of the local operations. This gain has been recognized under ‘Profit (loss) for the year from discontinued operations, net of tax’.
The assets and liabilities were transferred to assets held for sale in relation to our operations in Senegal as at February 7, 2017 and therefore classified as held for sale as at December 31, 2017.
Rwanda
As mentioned in note A.1.3. on December 19, 2017, Millicom announced that it has signed an agreement for the sale of its Rwanda operations to subsidiaries of Bharti Airtel Limited.for a final cash consideration of $51 million, including a deferred cash payment due in January 2020 for an amount of $18 million which has been settled in January 2020. The transaction also included earn-outs for $7 million that are not recognized by the Group. The sale was completed on January 31, 2018.

less costs of disposal as of December 31, 2017). However, a loss of $32 million was recognized in 2019 corresponding to the recycling of foreign currency exchange losses accumulated in equity since the creation of the local operation. This loss has been recognized under ‘Profit (loss) for the year from discontinued operations, net of tax’.
In accordance with IFRS 5, the Group’s businesses in Chad (Q2 2018), Rwanda (Q1 2018), and Senegal (Q1 2017) had been classified as assets held for sale and their results were classified as discontinued operations. Comparative figures of the statement of income had therefore been restated accordingly. Financial information relating to the discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 is set out below. Figures shown below are after intercompany eliminations.

Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for expected credit losses. The Group recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) applying a simplified approach in calculating the ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime of ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. The provision for expected credit losses is recognized in the consolidated statement of income within Cost of sales.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those maturing more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified within non-current assets. Loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of income when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process.

F.2. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

From time to time, the Group enters into agreements to extend payment terms with various suppliers, and with factoring companies when such payments are discounted. The corresponding amount pending payment as of December 31, 2020, is recognized in Trade payables for an amount of $46 million (2019: $40 million).

F.4. Current and non-current provisions and other liabilities
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, if it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.
The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of income net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, increases in the provision due to the passage of time are recognized as interest expenses.

G.2. Capital and operational commitments
Millicom has a number of capital and operational commitments to suppliers and service providers in the normal course of its business. These commitments are mainly contracts for acquiring network and other equipment, and leases for towers and other operational equipment.

G.2.1. Capital commitments
At December 31, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries had fixed commitments to purchase network equipment, land and buildings, other fixed assets and intangible assets of $564 million of which $400 million are due within one year (December 31, 2019: $122 million of which $102 million were due within one year). Increase is mainly due to the newly acquired spectrum license by Tigo Colombia and the related network coverage obligations. The Group’s share of commitments from the joint ventures is, respectively $69 million and $52 million. (December 31, 2019: $52 million and $51 million, respectively).

G.3. Contingent liabilities
G.3.1. Litigation and legal risks
The Company and its operations are contingently liable with respect to lawsuits, legal, regulatory, commercial and other legal risks that arise in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2020, the total amount of claims brought against Millicom and its subsidiaries is $288 million (December 31, 2019: $204 million). The increase is mainly due to the complaint explained below. The Group's share of the comparable exposure for joint ventures is $14 million (December 31, 2019: $4 million).
As at December 31, 2020, $45 million has been provided by its subsidiaries for these risks in the consolidated statement of financial position (December 31, 2019: $30 million). The Group’s share of provisions made by the joint ventures was $3 million (December 31, 2019: $3 million). While it is not possible to ascertain the ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to these claims and risks, the ultimate outcome is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Group’s financial position and operations.
On May 25, 2020, as a result of the termination of the Costa Rica acquisition (see Note A.1.2.), Telefonica filed a complaint, followed by an amended complaint on August 3, 2020, against us in the Supreme Court of New York. The amended complaint asserts claims for breach of contract and alleges, among other things, that we were required to close because the closing conditions specified in the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition had been satisfied. The complaint seeks, among other relief, a declaration of Telefonica’s rights, and unspecified damages, costs, and fees. We believe the complaint is without merit and that our position will ultimately be vindicated through the judicial process.
Other
At December 31, 2020, Millicom has various other less significant claims which are not disclosed separately in these consolidated financial statements because they are either not material or the related risk is remote.

G.3.2. Tax related risks and uncertain tax position
The Group operates in developing countries where the tax systems, regulations and enforcement processes have varying stages of development creating uncertainty regarding the application of the tax law and interpretation of tax treatments. The Group is also subject to regular tax audits in the countries where it operates. When there is uncertainty over whether the taxation authority will accept a specific tax treatment under the local tax law, that tax treatment is therefore uncertain. The resolution of tax positions taken by the Group, through negotiations with relevant tax authorities or through litigation, can take several years to complete and, in some cases, it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome. Therefore, judgment is required to determine liabilities for taxes.
In assessing whether and how an uncertain tax treatment affects the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, the Group assumes that a taxation authority with the right to examine amounts reported to it will examine those amounts and have full knowledge of all relevant information when making those examinations.
The Group has a process in place, and applies significant judgment, in identifying uncertainties over income tax treatments. Management considers whether or not it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. On that basis, the identified risks are split into three categories (i) remote risks (risk of outflow of tax payments are up to 20%), (ii) possible risks (risk of outflow of tax payments assessed from 21% to 49%) and probable risks (risk of outflow is more than 50%). The process is repeated every quarter by the Group.
If the Group concludes that it is probable or certain that the taxation authority will accept the tax treatment, the risks are categorized either as possible or remote, and it determines the taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates consistently with the tax treatment used or planned to be used in its income tax filings. The risks considered as possible are not provisioned but disclosed as tax contingencies in the Group consolidated financial statements while remote risks are neither provisioned nor disclosed.
If the Group concludes that it is probable that the taxation authority will not accept the Group’s interpretation of the uncertain tax treatment, the risks are categorized as probable, and are presented to reflect the effect of uncertainty in determining the related taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates by generally using the most likely amount method – the single most likely amount in a range of possible outcomes.
If an uncertain tax treatment affects both deferred tax and current tax, the Group makes consistent estimates and judgments for both. For example, an uncertain tax treatment may affect both taxable profits used to determine the current tax and tax bases used to determine deferred tax.
If facts and circumstances change, the Group reassesses the judgments and estimates regarding the uncertain tax position taken.
At December 31, 2020, the tax risks exposure of the Group's subsidiaries is estimated at $339 million, for which provisions of $77 million have been recorded in tax liabilities; representing the probable amount of eventual claims and required payments related to

those risks (2019: $300 million of which provisions of $50 million were recorded). The Groups' share of comparable tax exposure and provisions in its joint ventures amounts to $69 million (2019: $49 million) and $7 million (2019: $4 million), respectively.

(ii)    In November 2020, our operations in Honduras completed a shareholding restructuring whereby Telefonica Cellular S.A. acquired the shares of Navega S.A. de CV from its existing shareholders. The sale consideration will be payable in several installments with a final settlement in November 2023. As of December 31, 2020, $51 million out of a total receivable of $79 million is due after more than one year and therefore disclosed in non-current assets. The disposal also triggered the recognition of a net gain of $ 4 million, under ‘Other operating income (expenses), net’ in the Group's statement of income, corresponding to the portion of gain realized on the unrelated investors' interests in the joint venture (i.e. 33.33%).
(iii)    In 2020, and as a result of the significant deterioration of the credit risk of AirtelTigo Ghana, combined with other unfavorable economic factors, Millicom concluded that this related party loan was underperforming and should be impaired. As a consequence, the Group fully impaired this receivable of $45 million during the year, disclosed under ' Other operating income (expenses), net' in the income statement.


H. IPO – Millicom’s operations in Tanzania
The Tanzanian government has implemented legislation requiring telecommunications companies to list their shares on the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange and offer 25% of their shares in a Tanzanian public offering. The Group is currently planning for the IPO of our Tanzanian operation pursuant to the legislation and have filed a draft prospectus with the Tanzania Capital Market and Securities Authority in December 2019. The Regulator has since requested the Group to retain an underwriter to ensure the success of the IPO. Together with its investment bank advisers, the Group is seeking an underwriter active in the Tanzanian and Eastern African markets, a process currently underway.

I. Subsequent events
2026, 2028 and 2029 Senior Notes
On February 22, 2021, Millicom redeemed 10% of the principal outstanding of its Notes due 2026, 2028 and 2029 at a price of 103%. This redemption follows Millicom’s announcement dated February 11, 2021. Total consideration of approximately $180 million was funded from cash, consistent with the Company's decision to prioritize debt reduction.

Colombia bond
On February 16, 2021, Millicom’s subsidiary UNE EPM Telecomunicaciones S.A (“UNE”) issued, under the approved local bond program, a COP 485,680 million bond (approximately $138 million) with 3 maturities: a “Serie 7 years at 5.56% fixed rate”, a “Serie 10 years at CPI plus 2.61% margin” and a "15 years at CPI plus 3.18% margin”. The use of proceeds will be mainly for local USD debt refinancing, to improve UNE’s natural hedge against local currency, and also to extend maturities.

If there is a change to IFRS that might result in any material alteration in the commercial effect of any of the terms of this Agreement (a "Material IFRS Change"), the Loan Parties shall notify the Administra tive Agent and, if the Administrative Agent so requests, deliver to the Administrative Agent sufficient information, in form and substance as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent,

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .49

Section 1.08 LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the "IBA") for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Section 2.23 of this Agreement, such Section 2.23 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.23, in advance of any change to the reference rate upon Loans bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of "Adjusted LIBO Rate" or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate therefor or thereof, including, without limitation, whether the

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .50





composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.23, will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Adjusted LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquid ity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.
Section 1.09    Cashless Roll. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Obligors, the Administrative Agent and such Lender, and any such exchange, continuation or rollover shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or under any other Loan Document that any payment be made "in Dollars", "in immediately available funds", "in cash" or any other similar requirements.
Section 1.10    Luxembourg Terms. In the Loan Documents, a reference to (a) a liquidator, trustee in bankruptcy, judicial custodian, compulsory manager, receiver, administrator receiver, administrator or similar officer includes (i) any juge-commissaire or insolvency receiver (curateur) appointed under the Luxembourg Commercial Code, (ii) any liquidateur appointed under Articles 1100-1 to 1100-15 (inclusive) of the Luxembourg Companies Act, (iii) any juge- commissaire or liquidateur appointed under Article 1200-1 of the Luxembourg Companies Act

At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.06(e).

Section 2.05    Swingline Loans.
(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the Lenders set forth herein, agrees to make Swingline Loans to any Obligor from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $100,000,000, (ii) the Credit Exposure of any Lender exceeding its Commitment or (iii) the sum of the total Credit Exposures exceeding the total Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Obligor may borrow, prepay and re-borrow Swingline Loans.
(b)To request a Swingline Loan, an Authorized Officer of the Obligor shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by electronic mail or telecopy) or electronic mail, not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from such Obligor. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to such Obligor by means of a credit to the general deposit account of such Obligor with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .55

(c)The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administra tive Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender's Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender's Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire and fund participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or a reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Obligors of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from any Obligor (or other party on behalf of any Obligor) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shal be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to such Obligor for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve any Obligor of any default in the payment thereof.
(d)Any Swingline Lender may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days' prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. After the resignation of a Swingline Lender hereunder, the retiring Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to make any additional Swingline Loans.

(b)Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the amount of such Letter of Credit available to be drawn at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Letter of Credit related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the available amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum amount is available to be drawn at such time.

(3)the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any policies of such Issuing Bank applicable
to letters of credit in general.

An Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.

(d)Applicability of ISP and UCP.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Bank shall be responsible to the Borrower for, and such Issuing Bank's rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Bank required or permitted under any Law, order or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Laws or any order of a jurisdiction where such Issuing Bank or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the International Chamber of Commerce Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade (BAFT), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such laws or practice rules.

(e)Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to termination by notice from the applicable Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereof) at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension, which renewals or extensions, subject to clause (ii) hereof, may be automatic pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit so long as the applicable Issuing Bank shall have the right to prevent such renewal or extension at least once in each twelve month period) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may have an expiration date that is not more than twelve (12) months after the Maturity Date so long as (1)(x) the applicable Obligor shall provide cash collateral to the Administrative Agent pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.06(j) on or prior to forty-five (45) days before the Maturity Date in an amount equal to 102% of the LC Exposure with respect to all such Letters of Credit with expiry dates after the Maturity Date, or (y) absent such cash collateral referred to in sub-section (1)(x) above, such Letter of Credit is fully approved by the applicable Issuing Bank and all other Lenders; provided that, if the Lenders approve the issuance of such Letter of Credit without cash collateral as required under sub-section (1)(x) above, such cash collateral shall be required at the Maturity Date if such Letters of Credit remain outstanding at such date; (2) the obligations of the applicable Obligor under this Section 2.06 in respect of such Letters of Credit shall survive the Maturity Date and shall remain in effect until no such Letters of Credit remain outstanding and (3) each Lender shall remain obligated hereunder, to the extent any such cash collateral, the application thereof or reimbursement in respect thereof is required to be returned to the applicable Obligor by the Administrative Agent after the Maturity Date until no such Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

(f)Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount or extending the expiration date thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal, reinstatement or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit at each time such Lender's Commitment is amended pursuant to the operation of Section 2.22, as a result of an assignment in accordance with Section 10.04 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .59





(g)Reimbursement.
1.If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Obligor shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Obligor receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time or
2.the Business Day immediately following the day that such Obligor receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time (the date so applicable, the "Honor Date"); provided that, if such Obligor fails to so reimburse such LC Disbursement by the Honor Date, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed LC Disbursement (the "Unreimbursed Amount") and the amount of such Lender's Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, such Obligor shall be deemed to have requested an ABR Borrowing to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard for the minimum and multip les specified in Section 2.02(c) but subject to the amount of the unutilized Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Borrowing Request). Any notice given pursuant to the proviso of this Section 2.06(e)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing (but the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice).
a.Promptly following receipt of the notice set forth in the proviso of Section 2.06(e)(i) (and in any event, (i) if the notice is received prior to 11:00 a.m., not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day such notice is received or (ii) if the notice is received after 11:00 a.m., on the immediately following Business Day), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount, in Dollars, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders, whereupon, subject to the provisions of section 2.06(e)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Revolving Loan under the Commitments to such Obligor in such amount.

b.With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by an ABR Loan because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, then, promptly following receipt of the notice set forth in the proviso of Section 2.06(e)(i), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Issuing Bank, its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount, in Dollars, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Obligor pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .60





applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve any Obligor of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(h)Obligations Absolute. Each Obligor's obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, such Obligor's obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the applicable Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by the respective Issuing Bank or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to any Obligor to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by such Obligor to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by such Obligor that are caused by the applicable Issuing Bank's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the applicable Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, (i) with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (ii) an Issuing Bank may replace a purportedly lost, stolen, or destroyed original Letter of Credit or missing amendment thereto with a replacement marked as such or waive a requirement for its presentation, (iii) this sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by an Issuing Bank when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing).

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .61





Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, any Issuing Bank, or any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of (i) any presentation that includes forged or fraudulent documents or that is otherwise affected by the fraudulent, bad faith, or illegal conduct of the beneficiary or other Person, (ii) an Issuing Bank declining to take-up documents and make payment (A) against documents that are fraudulent, forged, or for other reasons by which that it is entitled not to honor or (B) following a Borrower's waiver of discrepancies with respect to such documents or request for honor of such documents or
1.an Issuing Bank retaining proceeds of a Letter of Credit based on an apparently applicable attachment order, blocking regulation, or third-party claim notified to such Issuing Bank.

An Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and such Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article VIII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Administrative Agent" as used in Article VIII included such Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the such Issuing Bank.
(i)Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, within the time allowed by applicable Laws or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Obligor in writing or by telephone (confirmed by electronic mail or telecopy) or electronic mail of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the applicable Obligor of its obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(j)Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Obligor shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Obligor reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if such Obligor fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(k)Replacement of the Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of any Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Obligors shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(ii). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .62





"Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(l)Resignation of an Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Issuing Bank may, upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the Borrower and Lenders, resign as an Issuing Bank; provided that, unless such Issuing Bank shall have ceased to be a Lender, on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, such Issuing Bank shall have identified a successor Issuing Bank acceptable to the Borrower (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) willing (in its sole discretion) to accept its appointment as successor Issuing Bank (it being understood that the Borrower and such successor Issuing Bank shall agree upon such Issuing Bank's LC Commitment, which amount shall not be less than that held by the resigning Issuing Bank, unless otherwise agreed to by the Borrower and such successor Issuing Bank). In the event of any such resignation of an Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing (in its sole discretion) to accept such appointment, a successor Issuing Bank hereunder; provided that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the relevant Issuing Bank, as the case may be; provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Issuing Bank resigns as Issuing Bank and, as of the effective date of such resignation, no successor Issuing Bank is appointed in accordance with this Section, the Borrower's appointment of a successor Issuing Bank thereafter shall not constitute the increase of a Commitment or the incurrence of an Incremental Loan. If an Issuing Bank resigns as an Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuing Bank and all Obligations (solely with respect to such Issuing Bank's Commitment) with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Loans in the amount of the applicable LC Disbursements pursuant to Section 2.04(f), or fund risk participations made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed).

(m)Cash Collateralization. If (A) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing or following an acceleration of the Loans, on the Business Day that any Obligor receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, following an acceleration of the Loans, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, or (B) require d by Section 2.06(c), such Obligor shall deposit in an account established and maintained on the books and records of the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 102% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Obligors described in Section 7.01(h) or (i). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the satisfaction of the LC Exposure and as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .63





earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Obligors' risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, together with related fees, costs, and customary processing charges, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Obligors for the LC Exposure at such time or, following an acceleration of the Loans (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations. If an Obligor is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Obligor within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(n)Letters of Credit Issued for account of Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower's business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
Section 2.07    Funding of Borrowings.
(a)Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder from its applicable Lending Office on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in Dollars, by 12:00 noon (or, in the case of an ABR Loan requested for that same day, 2:00 p.m.), New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Obligors by crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, by wire transfer by 4:00 p.m. New York City time, to an account of the applicable Obligor designated by the applicable Obligor in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.
(b)Each Lender may make any Loan through any Lending Office; provided that (i) the making of such Loan through such Lending Office shall not increase the amounts payable by the Obligors under Section 2.15 or 2.17 (unless approved by the Borrower) and (ii) the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of such Obligor to repay the Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .64





applicable Obligor a corresponding principal amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the Administrative Agent made available to the applicable Obligor the corresponding principal amount, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Obligor severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding principal amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Obligor to but excluding the date of payment to the Administra tive Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by such Obligor, (x) the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to the relevant Borrowing in case such Borrowing is an Eurodollar Borrowing, or (y) the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans in case such Borrowing is an ABR Borrowing; provided, that the obligation of the Obligors to pay interest on the corresponding principal amount shall only apply to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not received the payment of interest thereon from the relevant Lender following demand. If both the Borrower and such Lender shall pay interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by an Obligor hereunder shall be without prejudice to any claim such Obligor may have against a Lender hereunder for failure to fund or thereafter make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.08    Interest Elections.

(a)Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request (or as otherwise provided in Section 2.03). Thereafter, an Obligor may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. An Obligor may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b)To make an election pursuant to this Section, an Authorized Officer of the applicable Obligor shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone or electronic mail (i) in the case of a conversion from or continuation of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, at least three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, and (ii) in the case of a conversion to an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic or electronically mailed Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and, in the case of a telephonic Interest Election Request, shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, electronic mail or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by such Obligor.

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .65





(c)Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii)the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv)if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term "Interest Period".

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Obligor shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.
(d)Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e)If an Obligor fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the applicable Obligor (provided that no such notice shall be required following an Event of Default under Section 7.01(h) or (i)), then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing under such Facility may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.09    Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a)Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the
Maturity Date.

(b)The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the
Commitments; provided that the Obligors shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the sum of the Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments.

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .66





(c)The Obligors shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by an Obligor pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Obligors may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Obligors (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified closing date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (except for a termination of the Commitment of (x) a Defaulting Lender or (y) a Lender that is unable to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans, in each case, in accordance with Section 2.19).

Section 2.10    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a)Each Obligor hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date, and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the fifth (5th) Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Obligors shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Obligors to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(b)The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record
(i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Obligors to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof.

(c)The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or
(c)of this Section shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administra tive Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Obligors to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.11    Prepayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
a.Each Obligor shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 2.16), subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .67





b.An Authorized Officer of the applicable Obligor shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) or electronic mail of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or
(iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type and Class as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the applicable Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.
c.Any Lender may request through the Administrative Agent that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Note, payable to such Lender or its registered assigns.
Section 2.12    Fees.
(a)From the Closing Date until the last day of the Availability Period, the Obligors agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, an unused commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Availability Period, computed at the Unused Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each the last Business Day of each of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that any unused commitment fee accrued with respect to the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Obligors so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such unused commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Obligors prior to such time; and provided, further, that no unused commitment fee shall accrue on the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. All unused commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(b)The Obligors agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender's LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .68





including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender's
Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and
(ii)to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee at the rate of 0.125% on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as each Issuing Bank's standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including each Interest Payment Date shall be payable on the third (3rd) Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to each Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within sixty (60) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(c)The Obligors agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times specified in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter or as otherwise separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d)All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to each Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of unused commitment fees and participation fees, to the applicable Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances; provided that, excess unused commitment fee payments by any Obligor may be credited against accrued unused commitment fees payable by such Obligor, but only to the extent and on the terms and subject to the conditions expressly provided for in the definitions of "Applicable Margin" and "ESG-Based Pricing Ratchet".

Section 2.13    Interest.

(a)The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Swingline Loans shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, all overdue Obligations (which shall include all Obligations following an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.01, including an automatic acceleration) shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, two percent (2.0%) plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount (including interest), two percent (2.0%) plus the rate otherwise applicable to ABR

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .69





Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that no interest pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall accrue or be payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

a.Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
b.All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate and Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.14    Alternate Rate of Interest. Subject to Section 2.23 hereof, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a)the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or
(b)the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing under such Facility for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the applicable Obligor and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies such Obligor and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing under such Facility to, or continuation of any Borrowing under such Facility as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, (ii) any Interest Election Request that requests the continuation of any Borrowing under such Facility as a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be deemed to be a request for conversion of such Borrowing to an ABR Borrowing (absent prepayment by the Obligors at the end of the relevant Interest Period) and (iii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing under such Facility, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

Section 2.15    Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .70





i.impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge, liquidity or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank;
ii.impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

iii.subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then upon request of such Lender, Issuing Bank, or other Recipient, the applicable Obligor will pay to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided, that no Obligor shall be obligated to pay any such compensation unless the Lender or other Recipient requesting such compensation is also requesting compensation as a result of such Change in Law from other similarly situated customers under agreements relating to similar credit transactions that include provisions similar to this Section 2.15(a).

(b)If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the applicable Obligor will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank for any such reduction suffered; provided, that no Obligor shall be obligated to pay any such compensation unless the Lender or other Recipient requesting such compensation is also requesting compensation as a result of such Change in Law from other similarly situated customers under

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .71





agreements relating to similar credit transactions that include provisions similar to this Section 2.15(b).

a.A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the applicable Obligor and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such Obligor shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within sixty (60) days after receipt thereof.

b.Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.15, or 2.17 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; provided that no Obligor shall be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.15 or 2.17 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies such Obligor of the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by an Obligor pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, such Obligor shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (excluding loss of profits). In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, by which (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate, as applicable, that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), exceeds (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the applicable Obligor and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Obligor shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within sixty (60) days after receipt thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation; provided that no Obligor shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amount incurred more than sixty (60) days

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .72





prior to the date that such Lender notifies such Obligor of such Lender's claim for compensation
therefor.

Section 2.17    Payments Free of Taxes.

(a)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Obligor under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Obligors. The Obligors shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(c)Evidence of Payments. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes by any Obligor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17 (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within 30 days, as soon as practicable thereafter), such Obligor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d)Indemnification. The applicable Obligor shall indemnify each Recipient, within sixty (60) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) payable or paid by such Recipient and any documented and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Any Recipient claiming indemnity pursuant to this Section 2.17(d) shall notify the Obligors of the imposition of the relevant Indemnified Taxes as soon as reasonably practicable after the Recipient becomes aware of such imposition. The Obligors shall not be required to compensate any Recipient pursuant to this Section 2.17(d) for any interest, additions to tax or penalties that accrue more than 270 days prior to the date that such Recipient notifies such Obligor of the imposition of the relevant Indemnified Taxes. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Obligor by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within sixty (60) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .73





attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Obligor has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Obligors to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any documented and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
a.Status of Lenders. (i) Any Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Obligors and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Obligors or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Obligors or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Recipient, if reasonably requested by the Obligors or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Obligors or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Obligors or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Recipient's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.
(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Obligor is a U.S. Person:

(1)any Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Obligor and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Obligor or the Administrative Agent), executed originals or certified copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Recipient is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(2)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Obligor and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Obligor or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .74





a.in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals or certified copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withhold ing Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W- 8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;

b.executed originals or certified copies of IRS Form W-8ECI claiming that specified payments (as applicable) hereunder or any other Loan Documents (as applicable) constitute income that is effectively connected with such Foreign Lender's conduct of a trade or business in the United States or IRS Form W-8EXP;

c.in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a "10 percent shareholder" of such Obligor within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a "U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate") and (y) executed originals or certified copies of IRS Form W- 8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
d.to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals or certified copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W- 8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit C-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

1.any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Obligor and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Obligor or the Administrative Agent), executed originals or certified copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .75





prescribed by applicable Law to permit such Obligor or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

1.if a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to such Obligor and the Administra tive Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Obligor or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Obligor or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Obligor and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (f), a Recipient shall not be required to deliver any form that such Recipient is not legally eligible to deliver.
a.Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes (for this purpose, including any credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of any Tax (a "Tax Credit"), in each case, in lieu of a refund) as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnify ing party an amount equal to such refund (but (x) only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or Tax Credit and (y), with respect to any Tax Credit, only to the extent such party has obtained, utilized and retained such Tax Credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g) in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnificat ion payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .76





other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

a.VAT. All amounts set out in, or expressed to be payable under, a Loan Document by any party to a Credit Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to the second paragraph of this Section 2.17(h), if VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Credit Party to any party under a Loan Document and such Credit Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, such Credit Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party and, provided that such an invoice has been provided, that party shall pay to such Credit Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) or, according with the Council Directive 2006/112/EC as amended, an amount equal to the amount of the VAT or, where applicable, directly account for such VAT at the appropriate rate under the reverse charge procedure provided for by Article 196 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC, as amended and implemented by any relevant member state of the European Union.
If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Credit Party (the Supplier) to any other Credit Party (the Recipient) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the Relevant Party) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):
b.(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party shall also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient shall (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and.

2.(where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party shall promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Credit Party for any costs or expenses, that party shall also at the same time reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) the Credit Party against all VAT incurred by the Credit Party in respect of such costs or expenses but only to the extent that the Credit Party (reasonably) determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.
Any reference in this clause (h) to any party shall, at any time when that party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC as amended (or as implemented by any relevant

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .77





member state of the European Union)) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to that party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or representative or head) of that group or unity at the relevant time (as the case may be).
In relation to any supply made by a Credit Party to any party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Credit Party, that party shall promptly provide such Credit Party with details of that party's VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Credit Party's VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.
a.Survival. Each party's obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
a.Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term "Lender"
includes any Issuing Bank and the term "applicable law" includes FATCA.
Section 2.18    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a)Each Obligor shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, except payments to be made directly to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. Each payment (including each prepayment) by an Obligor on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective Applicable Percentages of the Lenders.

(b)If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .78





a.If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by an Obligor pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to an Obligor or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Obligor consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Obligor rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Obligor in the amount of such participation.

b.Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Obligor prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that such Obligor will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Obligor has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Obligor has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or each of the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administra tive Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
c.If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), Section 2.06(d), Section 2.06(e), Section 2.07(b), Section 2.18(d) or Section 10.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold such amounts in a segregated account over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .79





Section 2.19    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if an Obligor is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and
a.would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Obligor hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or (ii) if an Obligor is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or (iii) if any Lender becomes Defaulting Lender, or (iv) any Lender has refused to consent to any proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that, pursuant to Section 10.02, requires the consent of all Lenders or each Lender affected thereby and with respect to which Lenders constituting the Required Lenders have consented to such proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent, or (v) any Lender constitutes a Non-Extending Lender, or (vi) any Lender delivers a notification pursuant to Section 2.24 regarding its ability to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans, or (vii) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives any Obligor the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then such Obligor may (A) in the case of a Defaulting Lender or a Lender that is unable to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans, terminate the relevant Lender's Commitment and
A.in the case of any such Lender (including any Defaulting Lender or a Lender that is unable to
make or maintain Eurodollar Loans), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (1) such Obligor shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (unless such assignment is to an existing Lender or an Affiliate of an existing Lender), (2) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Obligors (in the case of all other amounts; provided, that, in the case of any Defaulting Lender, the Obligors shall be entitled to offset any expenses resulting from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender and such assignment from any amounts payable by the Obligors to the Defaulting Lender hereunder), (3) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, and
3.in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender's refusal to consent to a proposed
amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent, the assignee shall approve the proposed

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .80





amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the applicable Obligor to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, (I) any Lender that acts as an Issuing Bank may not be replaced hereunder at any time it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements satisfactory to such Lender (including the furnishing of a backstop standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit and (II) the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced in its capacity as Administrative Agent hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Article VIII.
Section 2.20    Defaulting Lenders.

i.Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
a.no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any unused commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.12(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Obligors shall not be required to pay at any time any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid during such period to that Defaulting Lender);
b.the Commitments and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.02);
c.if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

1.all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders that are Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender's Commitment) but only to the extent that the sum of all such non-Defaulting Lenders' Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender's Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders' Commitments; provided that no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereto against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non- Defaulting Lender's increased exposure following such reallocation;

2.if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Obligors shall within one Business Day

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .81





following notice by the Administrative Agent, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Obligors' obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

1.if an Obligor cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure pursuant to clause (B) above, such Obligor shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure is cash collateralized;
2.if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders' Applicable Percentages; and
3.if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Banks or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized.

a.so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender's then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Obligors in accordance with Section 2.20(a)(iii), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(a)(iii)(C) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
i.In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender's Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .82





no change of a Lender's status from Defaulting Lender to Lender shall constitute a waiver or
release of any claim of any party hereto arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

i.Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Banks' LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as the applicable Obligor may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administra tive Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Obligor, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender's potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Banks' future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the applicable Obligor as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the applicable Obligor against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section
b.were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC
Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in obligations under any issued Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iii). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

Section 2.21    Designation of Additional Borrowers.
i.Designation. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.21, the Borrower may, at any time or from time to time on or after the Closing Date, upon not less than ten (10) Business Days' notice (or such shorter period which is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .83





thereof), request the designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Additional Borrower hereunder (each such designated Restricted Subsidiary shall be an "Additional Borrower" and, all of them collectively, shall be the "Additional Borrowers"). Each such notice shall specify (A) the name of the applicable Restricted Subsidiary and (B) its jurisdiction of organization. Following the giving of any such notice, if the accession of such Additional Borrower obligates the Administra tive Agent or any Lender to comply with KYC Requirements in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Borrower shall promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender supply, or procure the supply of, such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (for itself or on behalf of any Lender) or any Lender in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with all necessary KYC Requirements related to the accession of s uch Restricted Subsidiary to this Agreement as an Additional Borrower.
i.Effect of Designation. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions specified in paragraph (c) of this Section 2.21, the applicable designated Additional Borrower shall become a party to this Agreement as an Obligor hereunder and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such Additional Borrower shall be entitled to borrow Revolving Loans or request the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder (and, in each case, such Additional Borrower shall have and shall assume all of the obligations of an Obligor hereunder).

If (and only if) the total of the applicable Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed to extend their Applicable Maturity Date and the new or increased Commitments is at least fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the applicable Extension Date, then, effective as of the applicable Extension Date, the Applicable Maturity Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the Extended Maturity Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Extended Maturity Date shall be the next preceding Business Day), and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a "Lender" for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Lender hereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any extension of any Applicable Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall not be effective with respect to any Extending Lender and each Additional Commitment Lender unless (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the applicable Extension Date and immediately after giving effect thereto; and (ii) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects if the applicable representation or warranty is qualified by Material Adverse Effect or materiality) on and as of the applicable Extension Date and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such date), as evidenced by the delivery of a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower dated as of the Extension Date.
d.Maturity Date for Non-Extending Lenders. On the Applicable Maturity Date of each Non-Extending Lender, (i) to the extent of the Commitments of each Non-Extending Lender not assigned to the Additional Commitment Lenders, the Commitment of each Non- Extending Lender shall automatically terminate and (ii) the Obligors shall repay such Non- Extending Lender in accordance with Section 2.10 (and shall pay to such Non-Extending Lender all of the other Obligations due and owing to it under this Agreement, including any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16) and the Administrative Agent shall administer any necessary reallocation of the applicable Credit Exposures with respect to Commitments to the

(b)Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the applicable Obligor shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate. Upon any such

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .92





prepayment or conversion, the applicable Obligor shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16.

Section 2.25    Financial Calculations for Limited Condition Transactions.

(a)In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Borrower, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreement (or other relevant definitive documentation) for such Limited Condition Transaction is executed. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has exercised its option under the first sentence of this paragraph, and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date such definitive agreement for a Limited Condition Transaction is executed and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder.
(b)In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction for purposes of: (1) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of the Total Net Leverage Ratio; or (2) testing baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Total Assets); in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower's election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an "LCT Election"), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreement (or other relevant definitive documentation) for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (the "LCT Test Date"); provided, however, that the Borrower shall be entitled to subsequently elect, in its sole discretion, the date of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction instead of the LCT Test Date as the applicable date of determination, and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds thereof), as are appropriate and consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definitions of "Consolidated EBITDA" and "Total Net Leverage Ratio", the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.
(c)If the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets, of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability under this Agreement (including with respect to the incurrence of Debt or Liens, or the making of Permitted Disposals, acquisitions, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .93





or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary) on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, test or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the Administra tive Agent as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term "agent" herein or in any other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the bank serving as the

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .112





Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Obligors or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administra tive in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02 or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, and
(c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Obligors or any Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), or as the Administra tive Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, an Issuing Bank or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Documents,
(ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Defaulting Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (i) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Defaulting Lender or (ii) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .113





information, to any Defaulting Lender (except for the Administrative Agent's compliance with its
own confidentiality obligations hereunder).

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, increase, reinstatement or renewal of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Obligors), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Require d Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such appointment in which case only consultation with the Borrower shall be required), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the "Resignation Effective Date"), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administra tive Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank (which appointment shall be made with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such appointment in which case only consultation with the Borrower shall be required); provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .114





Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such appointment in which case only consultation with the Borrower shall be required), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the "Removal Effective Date"), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Require d Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Obligors to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made here under are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Obligors and their Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .115





any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit and all other Obligat ions that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent under Section
c.allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administra tive Agent under Section 10.03.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Mandated Lead Arrangers or the Documentation Agent listed on the cover page hereof, or any other Person given a similar title on Schedule 1 hereof, shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administra tive Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder.
The ESG Coordinator will not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with any Loan Document, unless directly caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment). No party hereto may initiate or pursue any proceedings against any director, officer, employee, agent, or representative of the ESG Coordinator in respect of any claim against the ESG Coordinator or in respect of any act or omission of any kind by that director, officer, employee, agent, or representative in relation to any Loan Document, and any director, officer, employee, agent, or representative of the ESG Coordinator may rely on this paragraph. The ESG Coordinator shall not act for nor represent the Credit Parties and each Credit Party shall be solely responsible at all times for making its own independent appraisal of and analysis in relation to any sustainable or "ESG" aspects or performance of the Borrower and its Affiliates or with respect to the Facility or this Agreement.

a.The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (1) the Administrative Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers or the ESG Coordinator will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, "Borrower Materials") by posting the Borrower Materials on the Platform and (2) certain of the Lenders (each, a "Public Lender") may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons' securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that it will, upon the Administra tive Agent's reasonable request, identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked "PUBLIC" which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word "PUBLIC" shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials "PUBLIC," the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non- public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries or its or their respective securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.13); (y) all Borrower Materials marked "PUBLIC" are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated "Public Side Information"; and (z) the Administrative Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers and the ESG Coordinator shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked "PUBLIC" as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated "Public Side Information."

Section 10.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless such waiver or consent, as applicable, shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. No waiver or consent by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Issuing Bank, nor any notice or demand on the Borrower, in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further waiver, consent, notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Subject to Section 2.20(b), neither any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Obligors and the Required Lenders or by the Obligors and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .121





shall (a) change the required percentage set forth in the definition of "Required Lenders"; (b) provide for an extension to the date of payment of any amount under this Agreement; (c) provide for an increase or a reduction in the Applicable Margin or an increase or a reduction in the amount of any payment of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable to any Lender (provided that, only the Required Lenders' consent shall be required to amend the rate charged pursuant to Section 2.13(c) or waive the obligation to pay interest at such rate, or amend any Financial Covenant even if the effect is to reduce the rate of interest or the amount of any fee payable under this Agreement); (d) change the currency of payment of any amount under this Agreement; (e) change or extend any Commitment under the Facility; (f) substitute or release any Obligor other than as permitted under this Agreement; (g) change Sections 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby; (h) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.01, (i) change Section 10.09(a) in a manner that would alter the governing law of this Agreement,
(j)amend any provision of this Agreement that expressly requires the consent of all Lenders, and
(k)change the definition of "Applicable Percentage", shall be made without also obtaining the prior consent of, in the case of (a), (f), (g), (h), (i) and (j), all Lenders and, in the case of (b), (c), (d), (e) and (k), each directly and adversely affected Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be.

(i)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent that by its terms requires the consent of all the Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended, or the maturity of any of its Loan may not be extended, the rate of interest on any of its Loans may not be reduced and the principal amount of any of its Loans may not be forgiven, in each case without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of all the Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than the other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(ii)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Administra tive Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error, ambiguity omission, defect or inconsistency or any error or omission of a formal, minor, operational or technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision, and, in each case, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Docume nt; provided that the Administrative Agent shall notify the Required Lenders of such amendment as soon as practicable thereafter.
Section 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay: (i) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Mandated Lead Arrangers and the ESG Coordinator in connection with the preparation, documentation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, travel expenses, drafting and printing of the marketing materials, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one outside counsel for the Administrative Agent,

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .123





each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment or (y) result from a dispute solely among Indemnitees (other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent, Mandated Lead Arranger, ESG Coordinator, Documentation Agent or similar role under the Loan Documents) and not arising out of any act or omission by any Obligor or any of its Affiliates. This Section 10.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .124

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .125

Upon the surrender, destruction or marking conspicuously as "cancelled" by the assigning Lender of its Note, if any (which each Lender shall undertake upon request), the applicable Obligors shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender upon request. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

ii.The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non- fiduciary agent of the Obligors, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Obligors, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .126





terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Obligors, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

i.Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed Administra tive Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), Section 2.06(d), Section 2.06(e), Section 2.07(b), Section 2.18(d) or Section 10.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

a.Any Lender may, without the consent of the Obligors, the Administra tive Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more Persons (other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person)) (a "Participant"), in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) the Obligors, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that directly and adversely affects such Participant. The Obligors agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Obligors' request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate

with the Obligors to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Obligors, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 10.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Obligors in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to any Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
Section 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. (a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .128





among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

(b) Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf) or any other electronic means complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 or the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing also applies to any amendment, extension or renewal of the agreement. The words "execution," "signed," "signature," "delivery," and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Each of the parties hereto represents and warrants to the other party/ies that is has the corporate capacity and authority to execute this Agreement through electronic means and there are no restrictions for doing so in that party's constitutive documents.

Section 10.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, as applicable, then such provision shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other matured obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Obligors against any of and all the matured obligations of the Obligors now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations are owed to a branch or office of such

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .129





Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The applicable Lender and applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such setoff and application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

(d)Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in any Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY FURTHER AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

Section 10.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .132





ABOUT THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE LOAN PARTIES AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON- PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
Section 10.14 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable Law (collectively the "Charges"), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. To the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been paid in respect of such Loan but were not paid as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. Any amount collected by such Lender that exceeds the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of such Loan or refunded to the Borrower so that at no time shall the interest and charges paid or payable in respect of such Loan exceed the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate.
Section 10.15 Judgment Currency.

(a)If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b)If any party hereto or any holder of any obligation owing hereunder (the "Applicable Creditor") obtains a judgment or judgments against a Loan Party in a foreign currency, any Dollar-denominated obligations of such Loan Party in respect of any sum adjudge d to be due to the Applicable Creditor hereunder (the "Judgment Amount") shall be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of the Judgment Amount in such foreign currency, the Applicable Creditor, in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, may purchase Dollars with the Judgment Amount in such foreign currency. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the amount of Dollars that could have been purchased with the Judgment Amount on the date or dates the Judgment Amount was originally due and owing (the "Original Due Date") to the Applicable Creditor (the "Loss"), each applicable Loan Party agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .133





judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against the Loss, and if the amount of Dollars so purchased exceeds the amount of Dollars that could have been purchased with the Judgment Amount on the Original Due Date, the Applicable Creditor agrees to remit such excess to the Loan Parties (as applicable). The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 10.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.
a.Each Obligor waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the Loan Documents in a currency or currency unit other than that in which it is expressed to be payable.
Section 10.16 Waiver of Immunity. Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges and agrees that the activities contemplated by the provisions of the Loan Documents are commercial in nature rather than governmental or public and therefore acknowledges and agrees that such Loan Party is not entitled to any right of immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise with respect to such activities or in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Loan Party, in respect of itself, its process agents and its properties (including its Subsidiaries) and revenues, expressly and irrevocably waives any such right of immunity which may now or hereafter exist (including any immunity from the jurisdiction of any court or from any suit, execution, attachment (whether provisional or final, in aid of execution, prior to judgment or otherwise) or other legal process (including in any jurisdiction where immunity (whether or not claimed) may be attributed to it or its assets)) or claim thereto which may now or hereafter exist and irrevocably agrees not to assert any such right or claim of immunity in any such action or proceeding to the fullest extent permitted now or in the future by the laws of any such jurisdiction. The Loan Parties agree that the waivers set forth in this Section 10.24 shall have the fullest effect permitted under applicable Law, including the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States of America (28 U.S.C. §§1602-1611) (the "FSIA"), and are intended to be irrevocable and not subject to withdrawal for purposes of the FSIA.USA PATRIOT Act.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "PATRIOT Act") and the requirements of the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.
Section 10.18 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of the Transactions (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates' understanding, that: (i) (A) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm's- length commercial transactions between the Loan Parties and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers, the ESG Coordinator and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) each of the Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each of the Loan Parties is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the Transactions; (ii)

Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, each of the Mandated Lead Arrangers, the ESG Coordinator, the Documentation Agent, any Lender or the respective Affiliates of each of the foregoing with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspec t of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 10.19 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

0010146-0000535 NYO1: 2000703970                                     .136





i.the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage and as provided herein. The Issuer shall approve the form of the Notes and any notation, legend or endorsement thereon. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the
30


Issuer and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
b.Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the Outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions and purchases and cancellations. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian or the Paying Agent at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.
c.144A Global Notes and Regulation S Global Notes. Notes sold within the United States to QIBs pursuant to Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act shall be issued initially in the form of a Rule 144A Global Note. Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of a Regulation S Global Note. The Global Notes shall be deposited with the Custodian for DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of each Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” to each such Global Note, as hereinafter provided.

e.Book-Entry Provisions. The Applicable Procedures shall be applicable to Book-Entry Interests in the Global Notes that are held by Participants through the Depositary.
f.Denomination. The Notes shall be in denominations of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above $200,000.
Section 2.02     Execution and Authentication
At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual, electronic, digital or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be valid.
A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual, electronic or digital signature of the authorized signatory of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Issuer, the Issuer shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof.
31


The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer signed by an authorized representative (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate the Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Issuer pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof.
The Trustee may appoint one or more authentication agents (each, an “Authenticating Agent”) acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. Such an agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuer.
Section 2.03    Paying Agent, Registrars and Transfer Agents
The Issuer will maintain one or more paying agents (each, a “Paying Agent”) for the Notes. The Issuer will also maintain one or more transfer agents (each, a “Transfer Agent”). The initial Paying Agent and initial Transfer Agent will be Citibank, N.A., London Branch, who hereby accepts such appointment.
The Issuer will also maintain one or more registrars (each, a “Registrar”) for so long as the Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market. The Issuer hereby appoints Citigroup Global Markets Europe AG as initial Registrar, who hereby accepts such appointment. The Registrar will maintain a register (the “Register”) reflecting ownership of Definitive Registered Notes Outstanding from time to time and facilitate transfers of Definitive Registered Notes on behalf of the Issuer and will send a copy of the Register to the Issuer on the Issue Date and after any change to the Register made by the Registrar.
Upon written notice to the Trustee, the Issuer may change the Paying Agents, the Registrars or the Transfer Agents without prior notice to the Holders. For so long as the Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, the Issuer will, to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules, post a notice of any change of Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent on the official website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu) in accordance with Section 14.01 hereof.
Section 2.04    Paying Agent to Hold Money
The Issuer will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee and the initial Paying Agent to agree in writing that each Paying Agent will hold for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of (and premium or Additional Amounts, if any) or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee in writing of any Default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such Default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer) will have no further liability for the money. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer (including, without limitation, its bankruptcy, voluntary or judicial liquidation, composition with creditors, reprieve from payment, controlled management, fraudulent conveyance, general settlement with creditors, reorganization or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally), the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. The Issuer shall provide funds to the Paying Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time)
32


on the Business Day prior to the day on which the Paying Agent is to make payment. A Paying Agent shall not be obliged to pay the Holders of the Notes (or make any other payment) unless and until such time as it has confirmed receipt of cleared funds sufficient to make the relevant payment.
Section 2.05    Holder Lists
The Registrar will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is not the Registrar, the Issuer will furnish or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee and the Paying Agent at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee or the Paying Agent may request in writing, a list of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes in such form and as of such date as the Trustee or the Paying Agent may reasonably require.

2.No service charge will be made by the Issuer or the Registrar to a Holder of a Book-Entry Interest in a Global Note, a Holder of a Global Note or a Holder of a Definitive Registered Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp duty, stamp duty reserve, documentary or other similar tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof).
3.No Transfer Agent or Registrar will be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
4.All Global Notes and Definitive Registered Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Registered Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Registered Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
5.[Reserved].

Section 2.07    Replacement Notes

a.If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar, the Trustee or the Issuer and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for its expenses in replacing a Note, including but not limited to reasonable fees and expenses of counsel.
b.Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
Section 2.08    Outstanding Notes
.
The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.

.
Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer will prepare and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.
Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.
Section 2.11    Cancellation

The Issuer will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than ten (10) days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least fifteen (15) days before the special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holders in accordance with Section 14.01 hereof a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. The Issuer undertakes to promptly inform the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (as long as the Notes are admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market and listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange) of any such special record date.
Section 2.13    Further Issues
a.Subject to compliance with Section 4.09 hereof, the Issuer may from time to time issue Additional Notes, which shall have identical terms and conditions as the Initial Notes (save for payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such Additional Notes or for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such Additional Notes). The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes will be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without limitation, with respect to waivers, amendments, redemptions, and offers to purchase except as otherwise specified with respect to each series of Notes, provided, however, that any such Additional

The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code number.

The Issuer may make any redemption or redemption notice subject to the satisfaction of conditions precedent. If such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (but no more than 60 days after the date of the notice of redemption) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if in the good faith judgement of the Issuer any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied or waived.

b.such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it; provided, however, that for this purpose reasonable measures shall not include any change in the Issuer’s jurisdiction of organization or the location of its principal executive office, or the incurrence of material out of pocket costs by it.

The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Excess Proceeds Offer, will state:

7.that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;
8.that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Pari Passu Debt surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Issuer will select the Notes and other Pari Passu Debt to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer such that Notes will be purchased in whole or in part in a minimum amount of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof); and

In connection with any partial purchase of Definitive Registered Notes, the Issuer will promptly issue a new Definitive Registered Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Issuer, will procure the authentication of and mail or deliver such new Definitive Registered Note to the tendering Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Definitive Registered Note surrendered. Any Note tendered but not accepted will be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof.

f.Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.12, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.12 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof (it being understood that any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.12 shall not be subject to conditions precedent).

c.The Issuer will not incur any Debt (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Debt of the Issuer unless such Debt is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Debt will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Debt of the Issuer solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured with different collateral or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis or by virtue of the application of waterfall or other payment ordering provisions affecting different tranches of Debt.
d.For the purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Permitted Debt or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 4.09, the Issuer in its sole discretion may classify and from time to time reclassify such item of Debt or any portion thereof and only be required to include the amount of such Debt as one of such types.

Section 4.10    Limitation on Asset Dispositions
a.The Issuer may not, and may not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Disposition in one or more related transactions unless:
1.the consideration the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary receives for such Asset Disposition is not less than the Fair Market Value of the assets sold (as determined by the Issuer’s senior management or Board of Directors); and
2.unless the Asset Disposition is a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary receives in respect of such Asset Disposition consists of:
A.cash or Cash Equivalents;
B.the assumption of the Issuer’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Debt or other liabilities (other than contingent liabilities or Debt or liabilities that are subordinated to the Notes) or Debt or other liabilities of such Restricted Subsidiary relating to such assets and, in each case, the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, is released from all liability on the Debt assumed;
C.any Capital Stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (b)(4) or (5) of this Section 4.10;
D.a combination of the consideration specified in clauses (A) through (C) of this clause (2); and
57


b.within 365 days of such Asset Disposition, the Net Available Proceeds are applied (at the Issuer or applicable Restricted Subsidiary’s option):

2.first, to redeem Notes or purchase Notes pursuant to an offer to all Holders at a purchase price equal to at least 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and second, to the extent any Net Available Proceeds from such Asset Disposition remain, to any other use as determined by the Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary that is not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture;
3.to repurchase, prepay, redeem or repay Pari Passu Debt; provided that the Issuer makes an offer to all Holders on a pro rata basis to purchase their Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth below for an Excess Proceeds Offer;
4.to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Related Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Related Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer;
5.to make a capital expenditure or acquire other assets (other than Capital Stock and cash or Cash Equivalents), rights (contractual or otherwise) and properties, whether tangible or intangible (including ownership interests) that are used or intended for use in connection with a Related Business;
6.to the extent permitted, to redeem Notes as provided under Section 3.07 hereof;
7.enter into a binding commitment to apply the Net Available Proceeds pursuant to clauses (4) or (5) of this clause (b); provided that such binding commitment (or any subsequent binding commitment replacing the initial binding commitment that is entered into within 180 days following the aforementioned 365-day period) shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Available Proceeds from the date of such commitment until the earlier of (X) the date on which such acquisition or expenditure is consummated and (Y) the 180th day following the expiration of the aforementioned 365-day period; or
8.any combination of the foregoing clauses (1) through (7) of this clause (b).
c.For purposes of Section 4.10(b), any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are promptly converted by the recipient thereof into cash, Cash Equivalents or readily marketable securities (to the extent of the cash, Cash Equivalents or readily marketable securities received in that conversion), shall be deemed cash.
d.The amount of such Net Available Proceeds not so used as set forth in Section 4.10(b) constitutes “Excess Proceeds.” Pending the final application of any such Net Available Proceeds, the Issuer may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise use such Net Available Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the terms of this Indenture.
e.When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $75 million, the Issuer will, within 15 Business Days of the end of the applicable period in clause (b) of this Section 4.10, make an offer to purchase (an “Excess Proceeds Offer”) from all Holders and from the holders of any Pari Passu Debt, to the extent required by the terms thereof, on a pro rata basis, in accordance with Section 3.12 hereof or the agreements governing any such Pari Passu Debt, the maximum principal amount (expressed as a minimum amount of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
58


thereof) of the Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt that may be purchased with the amount of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price as to each Note and any such Pari Passu Debt will be payable in cash in an amount equal to (solely in the case of the Notes) 100% of the principal amount of such Note and (solely in the case of Pari Passu Debt) no greater than 100% of the principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of such Pari Passu Debt, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.
f.To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt tendered pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer is less than the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use the amount of such Excess Proceeds not used to purchase Notes and Pari Passu Debt for purposes that are not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt validly tendered and not withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased will be selected by the Issuer on a pro rata basis (based upon the principal amount of Notes and the principal amount or accreted value of such Pari Passu Debt tendered by each holder as provided or calculated by the Issuer). Upon completion of each such Excess Proceeds Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.
g.If the Issuer is obliged to make an Excess Proceeds Offer, the Issuer will purchase the Notes and Pari Passu Debt, at the option of the holders thereof, in whole or in part in a minimum amount of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof on a date that is not later than 60 days from the date the notice of the Excess Proceeds Offer is given to such holders, or such later date as may be required under the Exchange Act.
h.If the Issuer is required to make an Excess Proceeds Offer, the Issuer will comply with the applicable tender offer rules, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws and regulations, including the requirements of any applicable securities exchange on which Notes are then listed. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.10 and Section 3.12 hereof, the Issuer will comply with such securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Section 4.10 or Section 3.12 hereof by virtue thereof.

a.The Issuer may not, and may not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur, suffer to exist or become effective any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) to secure any Debt on or with respect to any property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired unless the Notes are equally and ratably secured by such Lien; provided that, if the Debt secured by such Lien is subordinated or junior in right of payment to the Notes, then the Lien securing such Debt shall be subordinated or junior in right of payment to the Lien securing the Notes.
b.Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to this Section 4.12 will provide by its terms that such Lien will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the initial Lien to which it relates other than as a consequence of an enforcement action with respect to the assets subject to such initial Lien.
c.For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.12, (x) a Lien need not be Incurred solely by reference to one category of Permitted Liens but may be Incurred under any combination of such categories (including in part under one such category and in part under any other such category) and (y) in the event that a Lien (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of such categories of Permitted Liens the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or
59


may subsequently reclassify at any time such Lien (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.12 and the definition of “Permitted Liens”.
d.With respect to any Lien securing Debt that was permitted to secure such Debt at the time of the Incurrence of such Debt, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Debt. The “Increased Amount” of any Debt shall mean any increase in the amount of such Debt in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Debt with the same terms or in the form of common stock, the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference, any fees, underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid interest, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith and increases in the amount of Debt outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Debt.

b.[Reserved].
c.The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if (x) another party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (y) a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.
Section 4.16    Limitation on Guarantees of the Issuer’s Debt by Subsidiaries
a.The Issuer will not permit any Significant Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, provide a Guarantee of any of the Issuer’s Debt for which such Significant Subsidiary’s maximum exposure in respect of such Guarantee exceeds $50 million unless such Significant Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers to the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing for its payment Guarantee of the Notes; provided:
1.if the Issuer’s Debt is pari passu in right of payment to the Notes, such Significant Subsidiary’s Guarantee of the Issuer’s Debt shall rank pari passu in right of payment to its Guarantee of the Notes;
60


2.if the Issuer’s Debt is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, such Significant Subsidiary’s Guarantee of the Issuer’s Debt shall be subordinated in right of payment to its Guarantee of the Notes substantially to the same extent as the Issuer’s Debt is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes;
3.a Significant Subsidiary’s Guarantee of the Notes may be limited in amount to the extent required by fraudulent conveyance, thin capitalization, corporate benefit, financial assistance or other similar laws (but, in such a case, the Guarantee of the Notes shall be given on an equal and ratable basis with its Guarantee of the Issuer’s Debt to the extent permitted by applicable law); and
4.for so long as it is not permissible under applicable law for such Significant Subsidiary to provide a Guarantee of the Notes, such Significant Subsidiary need not provide such a Guarantee of the Notes (but, in such a case, the Issuer shall procure that such Significant Subsidiary will use its reasonable best efforts to undertake all whitewash or similar procedures legally available to it to eliminate the relevant legal prohibition, and shall give a Guarantee of the Notes at such time (and to the extent) that it thereafter becomes permissible).
b.Clause (a) of this Section 4.16 shall not apply to (1) the granting by such Significant Subsidiary of a Permitted Lien under circumstances which do not otherwise constitute the Guarantee of the Issuer’s Debt, (2) the Guarantee by any Significant Subsidiary of any Permitted Refinancing Debt that refinances Debt of the Issuer which benefitted from a Guarantee by any Significant Subsidiary Incurred in compliance with this covenant immediately prior to such refinancing, or (c) any Guarantee by a Significant Subsidiary existing as of the Issue Date.
c.Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantee of the Notes created pursuant to the provisions described above shall provide by its terms that such Guarantee shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon: (x) such Subsidiary ceasing to be a Significant Subsidiary (including as a result of any sale, exchange or transfer, to any Person, of all of the Issuer’s Capital Stock in such Significant Subsidiary) in compliance with this Indenture; or (y) the release by the holders or lenders of the Issuer’s Debt described in the preceding paragraph of their Guarantee by such Significant Subsidiary (including any deemed release upon payment in full of all obligations under such Debt (but not under the relevant Guarantee)), at a time when (I) no other Debt of the Issuer has been Guaranteed by such Significant Subsidiary or (II) the holders of all such other Debt which is Guaranteed by such Significant Subsidiary also release their Guarantee by such Significant Subsidiary (including any deemed release upon payment in full of all obligations under such Debt (but not under the relevant Guarantee)).
Section 4.17    [Reserved]
Section 4.18    Payments for consent
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder or beneficial holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms of the provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders and beneficial holders of Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer and its Subsidiaries shall be permitted, in any offer or payment of consideration for, or as an inducement to, any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, to exclude Holders and beneficial holders of Notes in any jurisdiction where (i) the solicitation of such consent, waiver or amendment, including in connection with an offer to purchase for cash, or (ii) the
61


payment of the consideration therefor would require the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries to file a registration statement, prospectus or similar document under any applicable securities laws (including, but not limited to, the United States federal securities laws and the laws of the European Union or its member states or the United Kingdom), which the Issuer in its sole discretion determines (acting in good faith) (A) would be materially burdensome (it being understood that it would not be materially burdensome to file the consent document(s) used in other jurisdictions, any substantially similar documents or any summary thereof with the securities or financial services authorities in such jurisdiction); or (B) such solicitation would otherwise not be permitted under applicable law in such jurisdiction.
Section 4.19    [Reserved]
Section 4.20    Maintenance of listing
The Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain the listing of the Notes on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for so long as any Notes remain Outstanding; provided that if the Issuer is unable to obtain admission to listing of the Notes on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or if at any time the Issuer determines that it will not maintain such listing, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain a listing of the Notes on another recognized stock exchange.
Section 4.21    Financial Calculations for Limited Condition Transactions
a.In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Indenture which requires that no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Issuer, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreement (or other relevant definitive documentation) for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuer has exercised its option under the first sentence of this paragraph, and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date such definitive agreement for a Limited Condition Transaction is entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder.
b.In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction for purposes of:
1.determining compliance with any provision of this Indenture which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the Net Leverage Ratio; or
2.testing baskets set forth in this Indenture (including baskets measured as a percentage of Total Assets);
in each case, at the option of the Issuer (the Issuer’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreement (or other relevant definitive documentation) for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (the “LCT Test Date”); provided, however, that the Issuer shall be entitled to subsequently elect, in its sole discretion, the date of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction instead of the LCT Test Date as the applicable date of determination, and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including
62


any Incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds thereof), as are appropriate and consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” and “Net Leverage Ratio”, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.
c.If the Issuer has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets, of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Issuer has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability under this Indenture (including with respect to the Incurrence of Debt or Liens, or the making of Asset Dispositions, acquisitions, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or the Designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary) on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, test or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.
Section 4.22    Additional Amounts
a.The Issuer with respect to payments under the Notes agrees that, if any deduction or withholding of any present or future taxes, levies, imposts or charges whatsoever imposed by or for the account of any jurisdiction in which the Issuer is organized, engaged in business or resident for tax purposes, or from or through which payment on the Notes is made by or on behalf of the Issuer (including the jurisdiction of any paying agent) or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having the power to tax (each, a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”) and any interest, penalties and other liabilities with respect thereto (collectively, “Taxes”) shall be required to be made, the Issuer will (subject to the limitations described below) pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received pursuant to the Notes after such deduction or withholding (including any withholding or deduction from such Additional Amounts) shall equal the respective amounts of principal (and premium, if any) and interest specified in the Notes that would have been received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of:
1.any Taxes imposed by or for the account of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction which would not be payable but for the fact that the holder or beneficial owner of a Note (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, partner of, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, the relevant holder, if the relevant holder is an estate, trust, nominee, partnership, limited liability company or corporation) is a citizen, domiciliary, national or resident of, incorporated in, or engaging in business or maintaining a permanent establishment or being physically present in, such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or otherwise having some present or former connection with such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction other than the holding or ownership of such Note or the receipt of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Note or the exercise of rights under or the enforcement of such Note or this Indenture;
2.any Tax that would not have been imposed but for the presentation of a Note (where presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on
63


which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later, except to the extent that the holder would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on any day (including the last day) within such 30-day period;
3.[Reserved];
4.any Tax that would not have been imposed but for a failure by the relevant holder or beneficial owner of the Note to comply with any applicable certification, information, identification, documentation or other reporting requirements, whether required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice, of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, if such compliance is legally required as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Tax (including without limitation a certification that such holder or beneficial owner is not resident in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction); provided, however, that this clause (4) shall not apply if the Issuer shall not have provided the holder of the Note with written notice of the applicable requirement at least 60 days prior to the date that the holder or beneficial owner of the Note is required to comply with such applicable requirement;
5.any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar taxes;
6.[Reserved];
7.any Taxes payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments under, or with respect to, the Notes;
8.any Taxes imposed or withheld by reason of the failure of the holder or beneficial owner of the Note to comply with the requirements of Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as of the date hereof (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), the U.S. Treasury Regulations issued thereunder or any official interpretation thereof, any law implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto or any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471 of the Code; or
9.any combination of clauses (1) through (8) above.
b.In addition, the Issuer shall not have any obligation to pay Additional Amounts to a holder that is a fiduciary or partnership or an entity that is not the sole beneficial owner of the payment of the principal or interest on a Note to the extent that the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction require the payment to be included in the income of a beneficiary or settlor for tax purposes with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had it been the holder of such Note.
c.If the Issuer becomes aware that it will be obligated to pay any Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under the Notes, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee and the Paying Agent on a date that is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless that obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises less than 45 days prior to that payment date, in which case the Issuer shall notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent promptly thereafter) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable. The Officer’s Certificate must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying Agent to pay Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary.
64


d.The Issuer will also make or cause to be made such withholding or deduction of Taxes required by law and will remit the full amount of Taxes so deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with all applicable laws. The Issuer will use its reasonable efforts to obtain tax receipts from each such tax authority evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld. The Issuer will, upon request, make available to the Trustee and the paying agent, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date on which the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Issuer or if, notwithstanding the Issuer’s efforts to obtain such receipts, the same are not obtainable, other evidence reasonably available to the Issuer and reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the paying agent of such payment by the Issuer. If reasonably requested by the Trustee or the paying agent, the Issuer will provide to the Trustee and the paying agent such information as may be in the possession of the Issuer (and not otherwise in the possession of the Trustee and paying agent) to enable the Trustee and paying agent to determine the amount of withholding taxes attributable to any particular Holder, provided however that in no event shall the Issuer be required to disclose any information that it reasonably deems confidential or is otherwise not legally entitled to disclose.
e.In addition to the foregoing, the Issuer will pay, any present or future stamp, issue, registration, transfer, documentation, court, excise or property taxes imposed in connection with the execution, issue, delivery, registration or enforcement of the Notes or this Indenture.
f.The foregoing provisions will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and will apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Issuer is organized, engaged in business or resident for tax purposes or from or through which payment on the Notes is made by or on behalf of such successor Person (including the jurisdiction of any paying agent) or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having the power to tax.
g.Whenever in this Indenture or the Notes there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal (and premium, if any), redemption price, interest or any other amount payable under any Note, such mention will be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are or would be payable in respect thereof.
Section 4.23    Suspension of certain covenants when Notes rated investment grade
a.If on any date following the Issue Date (the “Suspension Date”):
1.the Notes are rated Investment Grade by two of three Rating Agencies; and
2.no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date, then, the Issuer will notify the Trustee (provided that no such notification shall be a condition for the suspension of the covenants set forth below) and beginning on such Suspension Date and continuing until such time, if any, at which the Notes cease to be rated Investment Grade by either Rating Agency (such period, the “Suspension Period”), the covenants specifically listed under the following sections hereof will no longer be applicable to the Notes and any related default provisions of this Indenture will cease to be effective and will not be applicable to the Issuer:
A.Section 4.10;
B.Section 4.09; and
C.clause (3) of Section 5.01(a).
65


b.Such covenants will not, however, be of any effect with regard to the actions of Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries properly taken during the continuance of the Suspension Period; provided that all Debt Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(b)(2). Upon the occurrence of a Suspension Period, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.
Section 4.24    Limitation on Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries
a.The Issuer may designate, after the Issue Date, any Subsidiary of the Issuer (including any newly created or acquired Subsidiary) as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” (a “Designation”) only if, at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation:
1.no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
2.the Issuer could Incur US$1.00 of Debt pursuant to Section 4.09(a); and
3.the aggregate Investments (other than Permitted Investments) by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in all Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall not exceed the greater of (x) $950 million or (y) 10% of Total Assets at any time outstanding.
b.Neither the Issuer nor any Restricted Subsidiary will at any time:
1.provide credit support for, subject any of its property or assets (other than Liens over the Capital Stock, Debt and other securities of any Unrestricted Subsidiary securing Debt of that Unrestricted Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries) to the satisfaction of, or Guarantee, any Debt of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument evidencing such Debt);
2.be directly or indirectly liable for any Debt of any Unrestricted Subsidiary;
3.be directly or indirectly liable for any Debt which provides that the holder thereof may (upon notice, lapse of time or both) declare a default thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its final scheduled maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Debt of any Unrestricted Subsidiary; or
4.make any Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) in any Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent such Investment, together with the aggregate Investments in all Unrestricted Subsidiaries then outstanding, exceeds the amount set out in Section 4.24(a)(3).
c.The Issuer may redesignate an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary (a “Redesignation”) only if all Liens and Debt of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such Redesignation if Incurred at such time would have been permitted to be Incurred for all purposes of this Indenture.
d.For purposes of this Section 4.24:
1.“Investments” shall equal the portion (proportionate to the Issuer’s direct or indirect equity interest in a Restricted Subsidiary to be Designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary) of the Fair Market Value of the net assets of such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of the Designation of such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary;
2.The aggregate Investments (other than Permitted Investments) by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in all Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall be reduced upon the Redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary by an amount equal to
66


the lesser of (x) the Issuer’s direct or indirect “Investment” in such Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time of such Redesignation, and (y) the portion (proportionate to the Issuer’s direct or indirect equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the Fair Market Value of the net assets of such Subsidiary at the time of such Redesignation;
3.any property transferred to or from an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be valued at its Fair Market Value at the time of such transfer, as determined in good faith by the Issuer; and
4.the amount of any Investment outstanding at any time shall be reduced by any dividend, distribution, interest payment, return of capital, repayment or other amount received by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such Investment.
e.The Designation of a Subsidiary of the Issuer as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to include the Designation of all Subsidiaries of such Subsidiary as Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
f.All Designations and Redesignations shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer, delivered to the Trustee certifying compliance with this Section 4.24.
Section 4.25    FATCA

c.Paying Agent’s Right to Withhold. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment which it makes under the Notes for or on account of any Tax, if and only to the extent so required by Applicable Law. If such a deduction or withholding is required, neither the Paying Agent nor the Trustee will be obligated to pay any Additional Amount to the recipient unless such an Additional Amount is received by the Paying Agent or the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture.

Section 6.02    Acceleration

70


If an Event of Default specified in clause (8) or (9) of Section 6.01 hereof shall occur, the maturity of all Outstanding Notes shall automatically be accelerated and the principal amount of the Notes, together with any premium, accrued interest or Additional Amounts thereon, shall be immediately due and payable. If any other Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding may, by written notice to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), declare the principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued interest thereon, immediately due and payable. The right of the Holders to give such acceleration notice shall terminate if the event giving rise to such right shall have been cured before such right is exercised. Any such declaration may be annulled and rescinded by written notice from the Trustee or the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding to the Issuer if all amounts then due with respect to the Notes are paid (other than amount due solely because of such declaration) and all other defaults with respect to the Notes are cured.
Section 6.03    Other Remedies
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of (and premium or Additional Amounts, if any) or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
Section 6.04    Waiver of Past Defaults
Subject to certain rights of the Trustee, as provided in this Indenture, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, on behalf of all Holders of the Notes, may waive any past default under this Indenture, except a default in the payment of principal, premium or interest or a default arising from failure to purchase any Note tendered pursuant to an Offer to Purchase; provided that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 6.05    Control by Majority
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, provided that the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, this Indenture or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not joining in the giving of such direction or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except in a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of (and premium or Additional Amounts, if any) or interest on the Notes, to the extent such action does not conflict with the provisions of this Indenture or applicable law.
Section 6.06    Limitation on Suits
71


Subject to Section 7.01 hereof, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity and/or security satisfactory to it. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, to the extent such action does not conflict with the provisions of this Indenture or applicable law.
No Holder of any Note will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or the Notes or for any remedy thereunder, unless:
1.such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
2.the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made a written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee;
3.such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity and/or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense arising in connection with such proceeding;
4.the Trustee for 60 days after receipt of such notice has failed to institute any such proceeding; and
5.no direction inconsistent with such request shall have been given to the Trustee during such 60 day-period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. However, such limitations do not apply to a suit individually instituted by a Holder of a Note for enforcement of payment of the principal of, or interest on, such Note on or after respective due dates expressed in such Note.
A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. The Trustee shall have no obligation to ascertain whether the Holder’s actions are unduly prejudicial to other Holders.
Section 6.07    Right of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of (and premium or Additional Amounts, if any) or interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien.
Section 6.08    Collection Suit by Trustee
Subject to mandatory provisions of Luxembourg insolvency laws, if an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or Section 6.01(2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium on, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, Additional
72


Amounts, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
Section 6.09    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim
The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes, their creditors or property and shall be entitled and empowered, subject to mandatory provisions of Luxembourg insolvency laws, to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 6.10    Priorities
If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:
First:    to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection and then the Agents for any amounts due;
Second:    to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, respectively; and
Third:    to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.
Section 6.11    Undertaking for Costs
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made
73


by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes.
Section 6.12    Restoration of Rights and Remedies
If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined in a final judgment adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 6.13    Rights and Remedies Cumulative
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 6.14    Delay or Omission Not Waiver
No delay or omission of the Trustee or any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.
ARTICLE 7
Trustee

Section 7.01    Duties of Trustee

a.If an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
b.Except during the continuance of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge:
1.the duties of the Trustee and the Agents will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee and the Agents need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee or the Agents; and
74


2.in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

1.this paragraph (c) does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;
2.the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
3.the Trustee will not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Sections 6.02, 6.04 or 6.05 hereof.
d.Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 7.01.
e.No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holders, unless such Holder has offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.
f.The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. Money held by the Paying Agent and in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
g.The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or any knowledge of any matter (including without limitation Defaults or Events of Default) unless a Responsible Officer assigned to and working in the Trustee’s corporate trust department has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice thereof is received by the Trustee (attention: Trust & Securities Services) and such notice clearly references the Notes, the Issuer and this Indenture.
Section 7.02    Rights of Trustee
a.The Trustee may conclusively rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any document (whether in its original, electronic or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.
b.Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. The Trustee may consult with counsel or other professional advisors and the written advice of such counsel, professional advisor or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.
75


c.The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any attorney or agent appointed with due care.

Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Section 4.03 hereof is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).
h.The Trustee shall not have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance, and shall not be responsible or liable for compliance with restrictions on transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase or repurchase, as applicable, of minimum denominations imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law or regulation with respect to any transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase or repurchase, as applicable, of any interest in any Notes, but may at its sole discretion choose to do so.
i.The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified and/or secured under this Indenture, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and by each agent (including the Agents), custodian and other person employed to act hereunder.

k.In the event the Trustee receives inconsistent or conflicting requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders, each representing less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine what action, if any, will be taken and shall not incur any liability for its failure to act until such inconsistency or conflict is, in its reasonable opinion, resolved.
76


l.In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by acts of war or terrorism involving the United States, the United Kingdom or any member state of the European Monetary Union or any other national or international calamity or emergency (including natural disasters or acts of God), it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

p.The Trustee shall not under any circumstances be liable for any indirect loss, punitive or special damages or consequential loss (being loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit of any kind) of the Issuer or any other Person (or, in each case, any successor thereto), even if advised of it in advance and even if foreseeable.
q.The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer personally or by agent or attorney.
r.The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of the individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.
s.No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to do anything which, in its opinion, may be illegal or contrary to applicable law or regulation.

The Trustee may consult with such professional advisors or with counsel, and the advice or opinion of such professional advisors or counsel with respect to legal or other matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.
77


v.The Trustee may assume without inquiry in the absence of actual knowledge that the Issuer is duly complying with its obligations contained in this Indenture required to be performed and observed by it, and that no Default or Event of Default or other event which would require repayment of the Notes has occurred.
Section 7.03    Individual Rights of Trustee
The Trustee (or its Affiliates) in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.
Section 7.04    Trustee’s Disclaimer
The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Notes and perform its obligations hereunder. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.
Section 7.05    Notice of Defaults
If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and for so long as it determines that withholding notice is in the interest of Holders.
Section 7.06    [Reserved]
Section 7.07    Compensation and Indemnity
a.The Issuer will pay to the Trustee and the Agents from time to time compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as shall be agreed from time to time between them. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all disbursements, advances and expenses properly incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the properly incurred compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.
b.The Issuer will indemnify the Trustee, its officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all documented claims, losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not be liable for any indirect loss, punitive or special damages or consequential loss (being loss of business, goodwill, opportunity or profit of
78


any kind) of the Trustee or any other Person (or, in each case, any successor thereto), even if advised of it in advance and even if foreseeable. The Trustee will notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer will not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. In case any such claim shall be brought against the Trustee, the Trustee may elect to defend the claim and shall promptly notify the Issuer of its intent to do so, provided that the Trustee and its counsel shall proceed with diligence and good faith with respect thereto, and the Issuer shall be entitled to participate therein. In the event of any disagreement between the Trustee and the Issuer in relation to the conduct of the claim, other than disagreements concerning the Trustee’s failure to promptly assume the defense and employ counsel, the Trustee’s decision shall be final. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the properly incurred fees and expenses of such counsel. If the Trustee does not assume the defense of such claim, the Issuer may defend the claim, the Trustee shall cooperate in such defense and the Issuer shall not be liable to the Trustee for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by the Trustee, in connection with the defense thereof unless the immediately following sentence applies. If the interests of the Issuer, on the one hand, and the Trustee, on the other hand, may be adverse, the Trustee may have a single separate counsel and the Issuer will pay the properly incurred fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
c.The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
d.To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
e.When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(9) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.
f.The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits to the Trustee in this Article 7, including, without limitation, its rights to be compensated, reimbursed for expenses and indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, each Agent.
g.The indemnity contained in this Section 7.07 shall survive the discharge or termination of this Indenture and shall continue for the benefit of the Trustee or an Agent notwithstanding its resignation or retirement.
Section 7.08    Replacement of Trustee
a.A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.
b.The Trustee may resign in writing at any time without giving reason and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:
1.the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;
79


2.the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
3.a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
4.the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
c.If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.
d.If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, (i) the retiring Trustee, the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or (ii) the retiring Trustee may appoint a successor Trustee at any time prior to the date on which a successor Trustee takes office, provided that such appointment shall be with the consent of the Issuer (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
e.If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
f.A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.
g.For the purposes of this Section 7.08, the Issuer hereby expressly accepts and confirms, for the purposes of Articles 1278 and 1281 of the Luxembourg Civil Code that, notwithstanding any assignment, transfer and/or novation permitted under, and made in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein to which the Issuer is a party, any security created or guarantee given under this Indenture shall be preserved for the benefit of the successor trustee (for itself and the secured parties) and, for the avoidance of doubt, for the benefit of each of the secured parties.
Section 7.09    Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.
If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.11    Agents
Resignation of Agents. Any Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Indenture at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such resignation to the Trustee and Issuer. The Trustee or Issuer may remove any Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to any Agent. Upon such notice, a successor Agent shall be appointed by the Issuer, who shall provide written notice of such to the Trustee. Such successor Agent shall become the Agent hereunder upon the resignation or removal date specified in such notice. If the Issuer is unable to replace the resigning Agent within thirty (30) days after such notice, the Agent may, in its sole discretion, deliver any funds then held hereunder in its possession to the Trustee or may appoint a replacement agent on behalf of the Issuer, provided that such appointment shall be with the consent of the Issuer (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), or may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Agent or for other appropriate relief. The costs and expenses (including its counsels’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Agent in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by the Issuer. Upon receipt of the identity of the successor Agent, the Agent shall deliver any funds then held hereunder to the successor Agent, less the Agent’s fees, costs and expenses or other obligations owed to the Agent. Upon its resignation and delivery any funds, the Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this Indenture, but shall continue to enjoy the benefit of Section 7.07 hereof.
ARTICLE 8
Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

Section 8.01    Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance
The Issuer may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all Outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.
Section 8.02    Legal Defeasance and Discharge
Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all Outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by the Outstanding Notes, which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
1.the rights of Holders of Outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, interest (including Additional Amounts) or premium, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;
2.the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof;
3.the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith; and
81


4.the Legal Defeasance provisions of this Article 8.
Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.
Section 8.03    Covenant Defeasance
Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.09, 4.10, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15 hereof and clause (4) of Section 5.01(a) hereof with respect to the Outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed Outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuer may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Section 6.01(3), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (8) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.
Section 8.04    Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance
In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof:
1.the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee (or such other entity designated or appointed (as agent) by it for such purpose), in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. Dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. Dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in each case, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of an internationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest (including Additional Amounts and premium, if any) on the Outstanding Notes on their Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;
2.in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of U.S. counsel in terms reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that:
A.the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or
B.since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,
82


in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
3.in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of U.S. counsel in terms reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
4.the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or others; and
5.the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an opinion of counsel, subject to customary assumptions and qualifications, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.
Section 8.05    Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions
Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all cash in U.S. Dollars and non-callable U.S. Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the Outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or the non-callable U.S. Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the Outstanding Notes.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any cash in U.S. Dollars or non-callable U.S. Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
83


Section 8.06    Repayment to Issuer
Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer in trust, for the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that in the event the Notes are in the form of Definitive Registered Notes, the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be made available to the newswire service of Bloomberg or, if Bloomberg does not operate, any similar agency and, if and so long as the Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, to the extent and in the manner permitted by such rules, posted on the official website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu) or mail to each Holder entitled to such money at such Holder’s address (as set forth in the Register) notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.
Section 8.07    Reinstatement
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. Dollars or non-callable U.S. Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of (and premium or Additional Amounts, if any) or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
ARTICLE 9
Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

Section 9.01    Without Consent of Holders

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 hereof, the Issuer, the Issuer and the Trustee may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, amend, waive or supplement this Indenture or the Notes:
1.to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
2.to provide for the assumption of the Issuer’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets pursuant to Article 5 hereof;
3.to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder in any material respect;
84


4.to conform the text of this Indenture, or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of the Notes” section of the offering memorandum to the extent that such provision in such “Description of the Notes” section was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture or the Notes;
5.to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the Issue Date;
6.to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 169(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code);
7.to evidence and provide the acceptance of the appointment of a successor Trustee under this Indenture;
8.to allow the provision of Guarantees with respect to the Notes; or
9.to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder in any material respect.
In formulating its opinion on such matters, the Trustee shall be entitled to request and rely absolutely on such evidence as it deems appropriate, including an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate.
Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 and Section 14.03 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Issuer in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
Section 9.02    With Consent of Holders
Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation Section 3.12, Section 4.10 and Section 4.15 hereof)or the Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and, subject to Section 6.04 and Section 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes); provided that if any amendment, waiver or other modification will only affect one series of the Notes, only the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes of such series shall be required.
85


Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Issuer in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.
It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer will mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, on behalf of all Holders of Notes, may waive compliance by the Issuer with certain restrictive provisions of this Indenture. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, on behalf of all Holders of the Notes, may waive any past default under this Indenture, except a default in the payment of principal, premium or interest or a default arising from failure to purchase any Note tendered pursuant to an Offer to Purchase. Modifications and amendments of this Indenture may be made by the Issuer, the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the Holders of 90% of the aggregate principal amount of then Outstanding Notes affected thereby:
1.change the Stated Maturity or the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Note;
2.reduce the principal amount of, (or premium) or interest on (or rate thereof), any Note;
3.change the place or currency of payment of principal of (or premium), or interest on, any Note;
4.impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any Note;
5.reduce the above stated percentage of Outstanding Notes necessary to modify or amend this Indenture;
6.reduce the percentage of aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes necessary for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or for waiver of certain defaults; or
7.following the mailing of any Offer to Purchase, modify any Offer to Purchase for the Notes required under Sections 4.10 and 4.15 hereof in a manner adverse to the Holders thereof.
For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of articles 470-1 to 470-19 (included) of the Luxembourg Law dated August 10, 1915 on commercial companies, as amended from time to time, shall not apply in respect of the Notes.
86


Section 9.03    Revocation and Effect of Consents
Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.
Section 9.04    Notation on or Exchange of Notes
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate the new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 9.05    Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuer may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors of the Issuer approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Securities in accordance with Section 13.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 13.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any suit, action or proceeding arising out of, related to, or in connection with this Indenture, the Notes or the transactions contemplated hereby, and any action arising under U.S. federal or state securities laws, may be instituted in any U.S. federal or state court located in the State and City of New York, Borough of Manhattan; irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding; and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The Issuer has appointed CT Corporation System, 111 Eighth Avenue, 13th Floor, New York, New York 10011, United States of America, as its authorized agent upon whom process may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding which may be instituted in any federal or state court located in the State of New York, Borough of Manhattan arising out of or based upon this Indenture, the Notes or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and any action brought under U.S. federal or state securities laws (the “Authorized Agent”).

Such appointment shall be irrevocable unless and until replaced by an agent reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

A-4


provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
e.OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
i.Except as detailed below, the Notes are not redeemable at the Issuer’s option. The Issuer is not, however, prohibited from acquiring the Notes by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to a tender offer, open market purchase or otherwise, so long as the acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture. The Issuer may make any redemption or redemption notice subject to the satisfaction of conditions precedent. If such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (but no more than 60 days after the date of the notice of redemption) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if in the good faith judgement of the Issuer any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied or waived. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.
ii.If a redemption date is not a Business Day, payment may be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue on any amount that would have been otherwise payable on such redemption date if it were a Business Day for the intervening period. If the optional redemption date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such record date and no additional interest will be payable to Holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption.
iii.At any time prior to April 27, 2026, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Trustee and the Holders, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of Notes (including Additional Notes) at a redemption price of 104.500% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), with the proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings or any sale of Qualified Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer. The Issuer may only do this, however, if:
1.at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes that were initially issued under the Indenture would remain outstanding immediately after the proposed redemption; and
2.the redemption occurs within 180 days after the closing of such Equity Offering or sale of Qualified Capital Stock.
    Any notice for such a redemption may be given prior to completing the Equity Offering or sale of Qualified Capital Stock and be conditioned upon its completion.
1.At any time prior to April 27, 2026, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Trustee and the Holders, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of Notes (including Additional Notes) at a redemption price of 104.500% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on
A-5


the relevant interest payment date), with the Net Available Proceeds from one or more Specified Subsidiary Sales. The Issuer may only do this, however, if:
3.at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes that were initially issued would remain outstanding immediately after the proposed redemption; and
4.the redemption occurs within 365 days from the later of the date of such Specified Subsidiary Sale or the receipt of such Net Available Proceeds.
2.During each 12 month period commencing on the Issue Date and ending on April 27, 2026, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice to the Trustee and the Holders, the Issuer may redeem up to 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes) at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).
3.At any time prior to April 27, 2026, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Trustee and the Holders, the Issuer may also redeem all or part of the Notes (including Additional Notes) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Redemption Premium and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to the date of redemption, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.
4.At any time on or after April 27, 2026, and prior to maturity, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Trustee and the Holders, the Issuer may redeem all or part of the Notes. These redemptions will be in amounts of $200,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of their principal amount at maturity), plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to the redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on April 27 of the years set forth below:
Year Redemption Price

2027 101.500%
2028 100.750%

f.REDEMPTION UPON CHANGES IN WITHHOLDING TAXES.
The Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at its option, at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption and any Additional Amounts (as defined under Section 4.22(a) of the Indenture) payable with respect thereto, if:
5.as a result of (i) any change in, or amendment to, the laws or treaties (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (as defined under Section 4.22(a) of the Indenture) affecting taxation which is publicly announced and becomes effective on or after the date of the Indenture or, if such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction has become a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction after the date of the Indenture, on or after the date on which such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction under the Indenture or (ii) any change in, or amendment to, the existing official published position (including any such change or amendment occurring as a result of the introduction of an official position) regarding the application,
A-6


administration or interpretation of the laws or treaties (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including any such change or amendment occurring as a result of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published practice), which change or amendment is publicly announced and, where applicable, becomes effective on or after the date of the Indenture or, if such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction has become a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction after the date of the Indenture, on or after the date on which such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction under the Indenture (either, a “Change in Tax Law”), the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts; and
6.such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it; provided, however, that for this purpose reasonable measures shall not include any change in the Issuer’s jurisdiction of organization or the location of its principal executive office, or the incurrence of material out of pocket costs by it. No such notice of redemption will be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due.
Prior to the publication or mailing of any notice of redemption of the Notes as described below, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and (ii) an opinion of legal counsel of recognized standing stating that the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts due to a Change in Tax Law. The Trustee will accept and shall be entitled to rely on this certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in clauses (1) and (2) above, upon which it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.
g.SINKING FUND. The Issuer will not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
h.REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.
7.Within 60 days of the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will be required to make an Offer to Purchase all Outstanding Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued interest and any Additional Amounts thereon to the date of purchase.

Report of Independent Auditors


To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Comunicaciones Celulares, S.A.


We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Comunicaciones Celulares, S.A., which comprise the statements of financial position as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for leases starting on January 1, 2019 due to the adoption of IFRS 16 “Leases”.

1.Corporate information

Comunicaciones Celulares, S.A. (the “Company” or “Comcel”) was incorporated under the laws of Guatemala on November 9, 1989, for an indefinite period in accordance with deed No. 72. The Company’s main business is the provision of telecommunication services, purchase, sale and distribution of cellular devices and airtime under the brand Tigo.

The Company’s offices are located in Km. 9.5 Carretera a El Salvador, building Plaza Tigo, Santa Catarina Pinula, Guatemala.

The Company is jointly controlled by Millicom International II NV, entity located in Luxembourg, and Miffin Associates Corp., entity located in Panama.

The financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020, were authorized for issue by Management on March 4, 2021. These financial statements will be submitted for final approval to the Company’s shareholders’ board. Management expects them to be approved without amendments.


2.Basis of preparation

2.1    Statement of compliance
The financial statements of Comunicaciones Celulares, S.A. at December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

2.2    Basis of preparation and presentation currency
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the financial statements have been prepared on an historical cost basis.

The financial statements are presented in thousands of Quetzals and all values are rounded to the nearest thousands, except when otherwise noted.

2.3    COVID-19 - Qualitative and quantitative assessment on business activities, financial situation and economic performance
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. Most countries globally, including Guatemala, reacted by implementing severe restrictions on travel and public gatherings, including the closing of offices, businesses, schools, retail stores and other public venues, and by instituting curfews or quarantines. These restrictions, as well as the dangers posed by the virus, produced a significant reduction in mobility and a severe disruption in global economic activity, the effect of which was felt in our market beginning in mid-March 2020.

Impact on our markets and business
The government in Guatemala implemented restrictions beginning in mid-March, and these were generally maintained throughout the second and third quarters of 2020. As a result, many of our stores and distribution channels were forced to close temporarily and they reopened gradually. Our market experienced reductions in mobility during this period, and these disruptions impacted our service ability, however, after the third quarter, product sales and services, has recovered.

Impact of the crisis on accounting matters

Comunicaciones Celulares, S.A.
Statements of cash flows
For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018
(Expressed in thousands of Quetzals)
As a consequence of this crisis, the Company had identified potential significant accounting implications in the following areas:

Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company noted a slight reduction in economic activity in the environment in which it operates, however, no impairment indicators were identified. In addition, during the last quarter of 2020 the operation showed performance indicators higher than those predicted thus confirming that impairment adjustments were not needed.


Impairment of trade receivables
During the second quarter of 2020, and as a result of worsening collections, the Company recognized additional bad debt provisions for an amount of Q8.2 million compared to the level of provisions recorded in the first quarter of 2020 (pre-pandemic level). However, collections have significantly improved during the last quarter of 2020 and the estimated credit losses levels have returned to their pre-pandemic level. As of December 31, 2020, the total estimated credit losses provisions cover 100% of the receivable overdue by more than 90 days.

Revenue recognition
Revenue recognition has not been significantly impacted and it is aligned with the accounting standards. Revenue recognized in the financial statements corresponds to services provided to customers and for which the collection is certain, as per guidance established by IFRS 15.13.


3.Changes in accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted by the Company for the preparation of its financial statements as of December 31, 2020 are consistent with those that were used for the preparation of its financial statements as of December 31, 2019.

New or amended standards that became applicable for the current reporting period did not have any significant impact on the Company’s accounting policies, disclosures and did not require retrospective adjustments.

Revisions to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued on March 29, 2018
The Conceptual Framework is not a standard, and none of the concepts override those in any standard or any requirements in any standard. The purpose of the Conceptual Framework is to assist the IASB in developing standards, to help preparers develop consistent accounting policies where there is no applicable standard in place and to assist all parties to understand and interpret the standards. This will affect those entities which developed their accounting policies based on the Conceptual Framework. The revised Conceptual Framework includes some new concepts, updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities and clarifies some important concepts. These amendments had no impact on the financial statements as of December 31, 2020.

Adoption of IFRS 16, “Leases” as of January 1, 2019

IFRS 16 “Leases” was effective for periods starting on January 1, 2019 and was adopted by the Company as of that date using the modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of applying the new standard recognized in retained profits as of January 1, 2019. Comparative financial statements for 2018 were not restated.

On adoption, an additional lease liability of Q1,434 million and a right of use asset of Q1,448 million were recognized. The application of this standard also affects depreciation expenses in the Company, operating and financial expenses, debt and other financing and leverage ratios. The application of the new standard in 2019 resulted in a decrease in operating expenses by Q49.5 million and an increase in financial expenses by Q113 million as compared to what the Company’s results would have been if the Company had continued to follow IAS 17 in the year ended December 31, 2019. The change in presentation of operating lease expenses results in a corresponding increase in cash flows derived from operating activities and a decline in cash flows from financing activities.

a)Adjustments recognized on adoption of IFRS 16
On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company recognized lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. The right-of-use asset was measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to those leases recognized in the statement of financial position immediately before the date of initial application. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 was 8.47%. Each lease commitment was individually discounted using a specific incremental borrowing rate, following a build-up approach including: risk-free rates, industry risk, country risk, credit risk at cash generating unit level, currency risk and commitment’s maturity.

For leases previously classified as finance leases the Company recognized the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at the date of initial application. The measurement principles of IFRS 16 are only applied after that date.

The application of IFRS 16 also impacted the classifications within the statement of cash flows for the period starting January 1, 2019. Its application had nevertheless no significant impact on the Company's retained earnings.

In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the Company has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
The use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics,
Reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous,
The accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at January 1, 2019 as short-term leases,
The exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of right-of-use assets at the date of
initial application, and
The use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

The Company has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date the Company relied on its assessment made when applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

b) Leases’ accounting policy applied from January 1, 2019 are as follows:

The Company leases various lands, sites, towers, offices, warehouses, retail stores, equipment and cars. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods but may have extension options as described below. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.

(Expressed in thousands of Quetzals)


Through December 31, 2018, leases of property, plant and equipment were classified as either finance or operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) were charged to the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

From January 1, 2019, leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Company. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable,
Variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate,


Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees, the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions. The incremental borrowing rate applied can have a significant impact on the net present value of the lease liability recognized under IFRS 16.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability,
Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received,
Any initial direct costs, and
Restoration costs.

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

Furthermore, the Company has taken the additional following decisions in adopting the standard:
Non-lease components are capitalized (IFRS16.15)
Intangible assets are out of IFRS 16 scope (IFRS16.4)

According to the IFRS 16, lease term is defined as the non-cancellable period for which a lessee has the right to use an underlying asset, together with both: (a) periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and (b) periods covered by an option to terminate if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option.

assessment of such options is performed at the commencement of a lease. As part of the assessment, the Company introduced the 'time horizon concept': the reasonable term under which the Company expects to use a leased asset considering economic incentives, management decisions, business plans and the fast-paced industry in which the Company operates in. The assessment must be focused on the economic incentives for Company to exercise (or not) an option to early terminate/extend a contract. The Company has decided to work on the basis the lessor will generally accept a renewal/not early terminate a contract, as there is an economic incentive to maintain the contractual relationship.


4.Summary of significant accounting policies

The following are the most significant accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements:

4.1    Functional currency and transactions in foreign currency

4.1.1    Foreign currency
The functional currency of the Company is the Quetzal. The Company records its transactions in foreign currency, any currency other than the functional currency, at the current exchange rate at the date of each transaction. When determining the financial position and the results of its operations, the Company values and adjusts its monetary assets and liabilities stated in foreign currency at the current exchange rate at the date of the statement of financial position. The
exchange differences resulting from the application of these procedures are recognized in the results of the year in which they occur.

4.1.2    Current versus non-current classification
The Company presents the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current when the Company expects to realize the asset, or has the intention of selling or consuming such asset, during its normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting date; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent, except if it is restricted and it cannot be used to cancel a liability during the following twelve months after the reporting date. The Company classifies the rest of its assets as non-current assets.

A liability is classified as current when the Company expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle; it is maintained for the purposes of trading; it must be settled within twelve months after the reporting date; or when the Company has not an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. The Company classifies the rest of its liabilities as non-current liabilities.

Assets and liabilities related to deferred income taxes are classified by the Company as non-current assets and liabilities, in all cases.

4.2    Cash
The Company holds cash in bank accounts and does not hold any cash equivalents at December 31, 2020 or 2019. For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash is presented by the Company net of bank overdrafts, if any.

(Expressed in thousands of Quetzals)


4.3    Financial instruments
The valuation of the financial instruments of the Company is determined through the amortized cost or fair value, as defined below:

Fair value - The fair value of a financial instrument that is negotiated in an organized financial market is determined by reference to prices quoted in this financial market for negotiations completed at the date of the statement of financial position. For those financial instruments for which there is no active financial market, the fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques may include the use of recent market transactions between interested, fully informed parties who act independently; references to the fair values of another substantially similar financial instrument; and discounted cash flows and other valuation models.

The Company uses the following hierarchy to determine and disclose the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

Level 1: Quoted prices (or adjusted) in active markets for identical financial assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Techniques that use different inputs to the quoted prices included in the same, observable for the assets or liabilities, whether directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Techniques that use inputs with significant effect over the reasonable value not based on data of observable market.

Amortized cost - The amortized cost is calculated using the effective interest rate method less any impairment allowance. The calculation takes in consideration any award or discount in the


acquisition and includes transaction costs and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.

4.4    Financial assets

4.4.1    Recognition and initial measurement of financial assets
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at cost, fair value through other comprehensive income, and fair value though profit and loss.

The classification and measurement of its financial assets at initial recognition reflects the business model in which the financial assets are managed and the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the financial assets.

The Company recognizes all its financial assets initially at fair value plus the costs directly attributable to the transactions, except for financial assets valued at fair value through changes in profit or loss, for which these costs are not considered. The Company recognizes the purchase or sale of financial assets on the date of each transaction, which is the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell a financial asset.

The Company’s financial assets include cash, accounts receivable, accounts receivable from related parties and other financial assets, which are classified as financial assets at amortized cost.

(Expressed in thousands of Quetzals)


Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets are measured at amortized cost when the following conditions are met: (a) the financial asset is maintained within a business model whose objective is to obtain contractual cash flows; and (b) the contractual terms of the financial asset establish specific dates for the cash flows derived only from payments to principal and interest on the outstanding balance.

4.4.2    Subsequent measurement of the financial assets
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on its classification as described below:

Accounts receivable, accounts receivable from related parties and other financial assets
These financial assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determined payments that are not quoted in an active market. After their initial recognition, these financial assets are measured by the Company at their amortized cost using the effective interest rate method less an impairment allowance. Profits or losses are recognized in the results when the accounts receivable is derecognized or impaired, as well as through the process of amortization.

The Company maintains a provision for expected credit losses of accounts receivable based on its historical credit loss experience.

4.4.3    Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes an estimate for expected credit losses on financial assets recorded at amortized cost in profit or loss or on financial assets recorded at fair value through changes in other comprehensive income using the simplified approach. The simplified approach does not require an entity to track the changes in credit risk, but, instead, requires the entity to recognize a loss allowance based on lifetime Expected Credit Losses (ECLs) at each reporting date. The Company has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical loss experience, adjusted for forward looking factors specific for debtors and the economic environment.

The Company considers that a financial asset is in default when the contractual payments are over 90 days overdue. However, in certain cases, the Company may also consider that a financial asset is in default when internal or external information indicates that it is unlikely that the Company will receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements maintained by the Company. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.

4.4.4    Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognized by the Company when the rights to receive the cash flows of the financial assets expire; or, when the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass through” arrangement and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. No such transfer of financial assets has occurred in 2020, 2019 or 2018.

4.5    Financial liabilities

4.5.1    Recognition and initial measurement of financial liabilities
The financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at the date of its initial recognition.

(Expressed in thousands of Quetzals)

The Company recognizes all its financial liabilities initially at the fair value at the date of the acceptance or contracting of the liability, reduced for, in the case of loans and borrowings, directly attributable transaction costs.

The financial liabilities of the Company include accounts payable, accounts payable to related parties, accrued interest and loans.

4.5.2    Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities
The subsequent measurement of the financial liabilities depends on its classification as described below:

Accounts payable, accounts payable to related parties, accrued interest and loans
After the initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The Company recognizes gains or losses in the income statement when the financial liability is derecognized as well as through the accretion process.

4.5.3    Derecognition of financial liabilities
The financial liabilities are derecognized by the Company when the obligation has been paid, is cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized through income.

4.6    Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated cost of completion and


the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Cost of inventories includes all cost derived from their acquisition, as well as other costs incurred to give them their status and current location. Inventories in transit are recorded at the invoice cost.

4.7.    Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated initially and subsequently at its purchase cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts of plant and equipment when this cost is incurred, if it meets the requirement for recognition. Depreciation and disbursements for repair and maintenance which do not meet the conditions for recognition as assets, are expensed in the year in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is calculated under the straight-line method over the useful life estimated for each type of asset. The residual value of the depreciable assets, the estimated useful life and depreciation methods are annually reviewed by Management and adjusted when necessary, at the end of each financial year, and adjusted prospectively, if it is required.

A detail of estimated useful lives is presented below:


Estimated useful life

Generators 4 years
Primary network Between 4 and 7 years
Towers and civil works Between 10 and 15 years
Customer premise equipment 3 years
Other network equipment Between 5 and 15 years
Buildings Between 5 and 40 years
Other assets Between 1 and 5 years

Construction and installation costs are charged to temporary accounts and subsequently transferred to the corresponding asset accounts, once the works are completed. These works in process include all disbursements directly related to the design, development and construction of towers or other assets, plus the financial costs attributable to the works.

Improvements to leased properties under operating lease agreements are depreciated under the straight-line method calculated over the term of the corresponding lease agreements.

The estimated costs of the Company’s obligations for dismantling and future disposal of non-financial assets installed on leased property, are capitalized to the corresponding assets and amortized during the term of the lease of the property. The amount of the depreciation of these estimated costs is recognized in profit and loss. The amount of the corresponding provision will be reduced as the future cash disbursements are performed.

A component of property, plant and equipment is derecognized when it is disposed, or the Company does not expect future economic benefits from its use. Any loss or gain originated from the disposal of the asset, calculated as the difference between its net carrying value and the sales proceeds, is recognized in the results of the year in which the transaction occurs.

4.8    Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, as appropriate. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and the related expenditure is recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. The Company currently does not have any capitalized development costs.

The useful lives of intangible assets are defined as finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are assessed by the Company on a yearly basis. The amortization expense for intangible assets is recognized in the income statement of the year in which they are incurred. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized and on a yearly basis, or when facts or circumstances indicate that the recorded values may not be recovered, the Company test them for impairment. If such indication exists, and the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the Company values the assets or the cash generating unit at its recoverable amount.

Gains or losses arising from disposal of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit or loss when incurred.

4.8.1    Frequency licenses, network programs and patents
Radio frequency licenses were granted to the Company by the government entities for an initial term of between 12 and 15 years. During 2012, an extension of such licenses for an additional term of 20 years was obtained, upon which the licenses will expire in 2032 and 2033. During 2020 new information was made available to Management in connection with the acquisition and registration of new licenses with the Regulator, triggering a re-assessment of the useful lives of existing licenses. From this analysis, management concluded that all frequency licenses are indefinite life assets; consequently, the Company ceased to amortize its licenses prospectively. Management will continue to monitor this assessment considering the regulatory environment. Due to the change in the classification of frequency licenses as an indefinite life asset, the Company will conduct an impairment analysis on an annual basis over these assets. As of December 31, 2020, no impairment was identified.

The network programs are software implemented by the Company for its commercial operation. It has been determined that it has a finite useful life; therefore, it is amortized under the straight-line method based on its useful life which is 5 years.

4.8.2    Indefeasible right of use
Indefeasible rights-of-use are permanent contractual agreements that cannot be undone, for example rights to use cables, fibers or capacity. IRU contracts are usually long term, commonly lasting up to 30 years. Depending on the type of system, the Company might be buying exclusive use of the one or more assets. Below is a summary of the IRU´s mainly used by the Company, together with the Company´s position as to whether these are treated as leasing or service contracts.

The main types of irrevocable rights of use (IRU) and capacity agreements are:
Purchase of specific infrastructure,
Purchase illuminated fiber capacity, or
Exchange of network infrastructure or illuminated fiber capacity.

IRUs are accounted for either as a lease, or service contract based on the substance of the underlying agreement. The classification depends on the evaluation of the characteristics of the agreements.

A network capacity contract is counted as a lease if, and when:
The buyer has the exclusive right to capacity for a specific period and has the ability to resell (or sub-rent) the capacity;
Physical capacity physically limited and defined;
The buyer assumes all costs related to capacity (directly or not) including operation, administration and maintenance costs; and
The buyer assumes the risk of obsolescence during the term of the contract.

If all of these criteria are not met, the IRU is treated as a service contract.

An IRU of network infrastructure (cables or fiber) is accounted for as a right of use asset, while capacity IRU (wavelength) is accounted for as an intangible asset.

(Expressed in thousands of Quetzals)


The costs of an IRU recognized as a service contract are recognized as a prepayment and amortized in the statement of income as incurred over the duration of the contract.

4.9    Impairment of non-financial assets
Management performs a review at each reporting date over the carrying values of its non-financial assets, with the purpose of identifying decreases in the value when facts or circumstances indicate that the recorded values could not be recoverable. If such indication exists and the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the Company reduces the assets or cash-generating units to their recoverable value, defined as the highest amount between its fair value and its value in use. The adjustments generated by this concept are recorded in the results of the year in which they are determined.

The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period if there is any indication that a loss for impairment of the value previously recognized for a non-financial asset other than goodwill, has been reduced or no longer exists. If such indication exists, the Company reassesses the recoverable value of the asset and, if applicable, reverses the loss increasing the asset up to its new recoverable value, which should not exceed the net carrying value of the assets if impairment had not been previously recognized.

4.10    Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. The amount of the recorded provisions is periodically evaluated and required adjustments are recorded in the results of the year.

If the financial effect from discounting the provisions is material, these provisions are discounted to the present value of the disbursements needed to settle the corresponding obligations, using a pre-tax discount rate that fairly reflects, when appropriate, the time value of money and the risk specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, increases in the provision due to the passage of time are recognized as interest expense.

4.11    Revenues from contracts with customers
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when the control of the goods and services has been transferred to the customer for an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for such goods or services.

Bundled offers are considered arrangements with multiple deliverables or elements, which can lead to the identification of separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized in accordance with the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the relative standalone selling price of the performance obligation (e.g. sale of telecom services, revenue over time plus sale of handset, revenue at a point in time).

Principal-agent considerations
Some arrangements involve two or more unrelated parties that contribute to providing a specified good or service to a customer. In these instances, the Company determines whether it has promised to provide the specified good or service itself (as a principal) or to arrange for those specified goods or services to be provided by another party (as an agent). For example, performance obligations relating to services provided by third-party content providers (i.e., mobile Value Added Services or “VAS”) or service providers where the Company neither controls a right to the provider’s service nor controls the underlying service itself are presented net because the Company is acting as an agent. The Company generally acts as a principal for other types of services where the Company is the primary obligor of the arrangement. In cases the Company determines that it acts as a principal, revenue is recognized in the gross amount, whereas in cases the Company acts as an agent revenue is recognized in the net amount.

4.11.1    Company’s most significant revenues streams are:
a)Post-paid mobile subscription fees are recognized over the relevant subscribed service period (recurring monthly access fees that do not vary based on usage). The service provision is usually considered as a series of distinct services that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.

b)Prepaid scratch / SIM cards are services where customers purchase a specified amount of airtime or other credit in advance. Revenue is recognized as the credit is used. Unused credit is carried in the statement of financial position as a contract liability. Upon expiration of the validity period, the portion of the contract liability relating to the expiring credit is recognized as revenue, since there is no longer an obligation to provide those services.

c)Revenues from sale of cellular devices and accessories are recognized once control of such goods is transferred to the distributor or the final client. That criteria are fulfilled when the customer has the ability to direct the use and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from those goods.

d)Revenues for the use of network and platform are recognized considering the airtime sold by the related parties.

e)Advertising revenues are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in the period that the service is provided, and the invoice is issued.

4.12    Borrowing costs
The Company capitalizes as part of the cost of an asset, the borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, production or installation of an asset that necessarily requires a term to be able for using or selling. Borrowing costs include interest, exchange rate differences and other financial costs. Borrowing costs that do not meet the criteria for capitalization are recorded in income in the year in which they are incurred.

4.13    Taxes
The Company offsets its current and deferred tax assets with current and deferred tax liabilities, respectively, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off the amounts recognized before the same taxation authority and when it has the intention to liquidate them for the net amount or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The Company recognizes income tax and deferred income tax in relation to other components in comprehensive income.

4.13.1    Current income tax
The Company calculates income tax by applying adjustments from certain items, affected by, or subject to income tax, in conformity with current tax regulations.

The current income tax, corresponding to the present and prior periods, is recognized by the Company as a liability if it is not settled. If the amount already paid, which relates to present and prior periods, exceeds the amount payable for those periods, the excess is recognized as an asset.

In Guatemala an entity may elect between two tax regimes to determine their current income tax. The Company adopted the optional simplified tax regime based on gross revenues (Régimen Opcional Simplificado sobre Ingresos de Actividades Lucrativas) for determining their current income tax expense, which is based on a 5% rate on the gross monthly revenues up to Q30,000 and 7% for gross revenues in excess of said amount. Additionally, computed capital income and capital gains are taxed at the rate of 10%.

Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment
Tax positions have been reflected in the financial statements in accordance with IAS 12 and IFRIC 23. Such tax positions are, based solely on their technical merits, more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities and reflect the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis, that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority with full knowledge of all relevant information.

4.13.2    Deferred income tax
Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method for all temporary differences that exist between the tax basis of the assets, liabilities and net equity and the amounts recorded for financial purposes at the date of the statement of financial position. The deferred income tax is calculated considering the income tax expected to apply to the period in which the asset is estimated will be realized or the liability will be settled. Assets for deferred revenues are recognized only when there is reasonable probability of its realization.

The carrying value of an asset for deferred taxes is subject to review at the date of each statement of financial position. The Company reduces the amount of the deferred tax asset, to the extent that it estimates that it will not have sufficient taxable earnings in the future to allow it to realize all or part of the benefits from the deferred tax asset. Likewise, at the financial period close, the Company reconsiders deferred tax assets that it had not previously recognized to determine if it is now probable that they will be realized and therefore, can be recognized.

4.13.3    Value added tax
Revenues from sales are recorded by the Company net of value added tax and a liability is recognized in the statement of financial position for the related value added tax. Expenses and assets acquired are recorded by the Company net of sales tax if the tax authorities credit these taxes to the Company, recognizing the accumulated amount receivable in the statement of financial position. When the sales tax incurred is not recoverable the Company includes it within the expense or asset, as applicable.

4.14    Judgments, estimates and significant accounting assumptions
The preparation of financial statements of the Company requires Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures, as well as the disclosure of contingent liabilities. However, the uncertainty about such judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in situations that require adjustments of relative importance over the recorded values of the assets and liabilities on future years.

5.Standards issued but not yet effective

International Financial Reporting Standards or their interpretations issued but not yet effective as of the date of issue of the Company’s financial statements are listed below. The standards or interpretations listed are those which Management believes may have an effect on the disclosures, position or financial performance of the Company when applied on a future date. As of the date of these financial statements the Company has not assessed the impact in its financial statements, if any, derived from their adoption. The Company intends to adopt these standards or interpretations when they become effective.

Classification of liabilities as current or non-current - Amendments to IAS 1
In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current.

The amendments clarify:
What is understood by the right to defer the settlement.
That there must be a deferral right at the end of the reporting period.
That the classification is not affected by the probability that an entity will exercise its right of deferral.
That only if a derivative embedded in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument, the terms of a liability would not affect its classification.

The amendments are effective for the annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and must be applied retrospectively.

Reference to the Conceptual Framework - Amendments to IFRS 3
In May 2020, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations - Reference to the Conceptual Framework. The amendments are intended to replace a reference to the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements issued in 1989, with a reference to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued in March 2018, without significantly changing its requirements.

The IASB also added an exception to the recognition principle of IFRS 3 to avoid the problem of possible "day 2" gains or losses arising from liabilities and contingent liabilities that would be within the scope of IAS 37 or ICFRS 21. Liens, if incurred separately.
At the same time, the IASB decided to clarify the existing guidance in IFRS 3 for contingent assets that would not be affected by replacing the reference to the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements.

The amendments are effective for annual financial statement reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 and are applied prospectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment: Income Before Intended Use - Amendments to IAS 16
In May 2020, the IASB issued Property, Plant and Equipment - Income Before Intended Use, which prohibits entities from deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, any proceeds from the sale of items produced while carrying that asset. to the location and condition necessary for it to function in the manner intended by the administration. The amendment establishes that an entity recognizes the proceeds of the sale of such items, and the costs of producing them, in the results for the period.

The amendment is effective for annual financial statement reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 and must be applied retroactively to items of property, plant and equipment available for use on or after the beginning of the earliest reporting period when the entity applies the amendment for the first time.

Onerous Contracts - Costs of Fulfilling a Contract - Amendments to IAS 37
In May 2020, the IASB made amendments to IAS 37 to specify which costs should be included by an entity when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss-making. The amendments apply a "directly related cost approach". Costs that are directly related to a contract to provide goods or services include both incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to contract activities. General and administrative costs are not directly related to a contract and are excluded unless they are explicitly charged to the counterparty under the contract.

The amendments are effective for annual financial statement reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

IFRS 1 First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards - Subsidiary as First Time Adopter
As part of its 2018-2020 annual enhancements to the IFRS process, the IASB made an amendment to IFRS 1 First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendment allows a subsidiary that chooses to apply paragraph D16 (a) of IFRS 1 to measure cumulative translation differences using amounts reported by the parent, based on the parent's transition date to IFRS. This amendment also applies to an associate or joint venture that chooses to apply paragraph D16 (a) of IFRS 1.

The amendment is effective for annual financial statement reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, and early adoption is permitted.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Fees in the Test of '10 percent 'for the Derecognition of Financial Liabilities
As part of its 2018-2020 annual improvement process to IFRS standards, the IASB made an amendment to IFRS 9. The amendment clarifies the fees an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of

the original financial liability. These commissions include only those paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including commissions paid or received by the borrower or the lender on behalf of the other. An entity applies the amendment to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendment.

The amendment is effective for annual financial statement reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, and early adoption is permitted.

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28: Sales or Contributions of Assets between an Investor and its Joint or Associated Business
The amendments address the conflict between IFRS 10 and IAS 28 when managing the loss of control of a subsidiary that is sold or contributed to an associate or joint venture. The amendments clarify that the gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a business, as defined in IFRS 3, between an investor and its associate or joint venture, is fully recognized. However, any gain or loss from the sale or contribution of assets that do not constitute a business, is recognized only in proportion to the unrelated participation that the investor has in the associate or joint venture. The IASB has deferred the entry into force of these amendments indefinitely pending the outcome of its research project on the equity method. However, an entity that adopts them early must apply them prospectively.

Terms and conditions of transactions with related parties
The sales and purchases of goods and services between related parties are carried out at the prices and terms previously agreed between the parties.

The maturity terms for accounts receivable and accounts payable from or to related parties extend up to 60 days from the corresponding invoices’ issue date, are not subject to any discount for early payment and are recoverable or payable in the functional currency of the financial statements, except for the balances indicated on note 25, risk of exchange rate section. During the years that ended on December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company has not recorded any impairment over the accounts receivable from related parties.

The loans received from or granted to related parties without interest or with interest at rates different from a market rate are initially registered at their fair value, considering a market interest rate for similar loans at the inception of the loan.

The provision for asset retirement is created when the Company signs a lease contract for a property where the cell site will be installed, if the contract specifies that the property has to be subsequently returned as it was initially delivered to the Company.

In determining the fair value of the provision, assumptions and estimates are made in relation to discount rates, the expected cost to dismantle and remove the equipment from the site and the expected timing of those costs. The Company estimates that the costs will be realized during 15 years’ time, the related contract term, and calculates the provision using the discounted free cash flows method using a discount rate of 9.79% (2019: 7.48%).

18.Equity

18.1    Issue capital
The capital at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was comprised of 500 common shares with a nominal value of Q50 each, equivalent to Q25,000. These shares are fully subscribed and paid.

18.2    Legal reserve
Upon articles 36 and 37 of the Commerce Code of Guatemala and its reforms by decree 18-2017, every corporation must annually separate five per cent (5%) of the net income of each year to increase the legal reserve. This reserve cannot be distributed in any way among the shareholders, until the liquidation of the corporation. However, it can convert the excess amount into capital when it exceeds the fifteen per cent (15%) of the capital at the closing of the immediately preceding year, without prejudice of continue reserving the annual five per cent (5%) previously mentioned.

18.3    Dividends declared
During the years ended on December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company declared dividends amounting to Q2,647,874 (including Q132,394 that were withheld from the shareholders as income tax); Q2,277,339 (including Q113,867 that were withheld from shareholders as income tax), and Q2,298,671 (including Q114,934 that were withheld from shareholders as income tax) equivalent to Q5,296, Q4,555 and Q4,597 per share, respectively. From the declared dividends in 2020, Q2,484,423 were compensated with accounts receivable from related parties and Q31,057 paid in cash (in 2019, Q2,163,472 were compensated with accounts receivable from related parties and in 2018, Q1,913,506 were compensated with accounts receivable from related parties and Q270,231 paid in cash).

18.4    Other components of the equity

18.4.1    Shared-based incentive plan
There are two types of plans applicable to Comcel sponsored by Millicom International Cellular, S.A., a deferred share plan and a future performance share plan.

These long-term incentives awards consist of a three-year deferred award plan and a performance share award plan. All issued shares are shares of Millicom International Cellular, S.A. (or MIC SA - one of the ultimate shareholders of the Company), and not of the Company itself, the cost of which is registered as an employee benefit in profit and losses with a credit to an equity reserve.

The fair value of equity-settled shares granted is estimated at the date of the grant using the market prices of MIC shares on that date.

For the deferred share plan, participants are granted shares based on past performance with 16.5% of the shares vesting on January 1 of each year 1 and 2, and the remaining 67% on January 1 of the third year. The vesting is conditional to the participant remaining employed by Comcel at each vesting date.
Under the performance share plan, shares granted vest at the end of the term of three years, subject to performance conditions, 62.5% based on the absolute total shareholder return (TSR) and 37.5% based on actual versus budgeted EBITDA – CAPEX – Changes on the working capital (“Free cash flow”). As the TSR represents a market condition, the fair value of the shares in the performance share plan share plan requires consideration of potential adjustments for future market-based conditions grant date.

For that, a specific valuation has been made at grant date on the probability of TSR being met (and to which extent) and the expected pay-out based upon leaving conditions.

The free cash flow (FCF) condition is a non-market measure, which has been considered jointly with the estimation of exit and is initially based on a probability of achievement of 100%. The reference share price for the 2020 Performance Share Plan is the same price per share as the deferred share plan.

According to IFRS 2 requirements, during the years ended on December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized in profit and loss Q804, Q969, and Q3,552 (note 21), respectively, related to the compensation to employees based on shares, with a credit to the equity account “other components of equity”.

24.Contingencies and litigations

At the date of issuance of these financial statements, Management has become aware of the following contingencies and litigations:

For the tax periods of 2005 and 2006, the Superintendence of Fiscal Administration initiated a process against Comcel for the omission of the withholding of income taxes to non-residents for a total of Q13,093 plus fines and interest. The likelihood of loss according to the Company’s legal advisors is remote.

During the tax period of 2007, the Superintendence of Fiscal Administration initiated a process against Comcel for the omission of the withholding of income taxes to non-residents for a total of Q11,930 plus fines and interests. The likelihood of loss according to the Company’s legal specialists is remote.

The Superintendence of Fiscal Administration has considered adjustments to the tax of Fiscal Stamps and Special Sealed Paper for Protocols for the payment of dividends through coupons for Q46,971, plus fines and interest (Q9,305). The likelihood of loss according to legal specialists is probable; therefore, the Company accrued principal, fines and interest over this contingency for a total of Q56,276 in 2020.

Except for the provision according to the previous paragraph, the Company has not recognized provisions to cover any potential disbursements derived from these litigations at December 31, 2020 and 2019. For all other litigations the Company considers that it has sufficient basis to obtain a positive result in these processes and no cash disbursements will be necessary.

Between 2017 and 2019, the International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala (“CICIG”), and Guatemalan prosecutors have pursued investigations that have included the country´s telecommunications sector and Comcel. On September 3, 2019, the CICIG´s activities in Guatemala were discontinued, after the Guatemalan government did not renew the CICIG’s mandate.  As at December 31, 2020, Management has not been able to assess the potential impact of such matter, if any, on these financial statements of any remedial actions that may need to be taken as a result of the investigations, or penalties that maybe imposed by law enforcement authorities. Accordingly, no provision has been recorded as of December 31, 2020.


25.Financial instruments risk management and objectives

The principal financial liabilities of the Company include accounts payable, accounts payable to related parties, accrued interest and loans. The primary purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the operations of the Company. The Company’s principal financial assets include, cash, accounts receivable, accounts receivable from related parties and other financial assets.

The principal risks that could have an effect of relative importance over these financial instruments are the market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Company with Management support and the Board of Directors, controls and manages these risks.

The Board of Directors revises and agrees the policies for the Management of these risks, which are summarized below:

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as consequence of changes of the market prices. The market risk includes: the risk of interest rate, the foreign currency risk and other price risks such as equity price and commodity risk.

Management considers that the Company is exposed to the interest rate risk and the foreign currency (exchange rate) risk.

Interest rate risk
The interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future flows of cash of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a consequence of the changes of the rates in the market interest. The exposure of the Company to such risk basically refers to the long-term obligations with variable interest rate.

The Company eliminated the exposure of this market risk when contracting loans at a fixed rate (see Note 13).

Exchange rate risk
The exchange rate risk represents the risk that the fair value of the future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate as a consequence of changes in the exchange rates of foreign currency. The exposure of the Company to the risk of changes in the foreign exchange rate is related mainly to its operating activities, i.e., when its revenues or expenses are reported in a different currency than the Company’s local currency.

At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the foreign reference exchange rates are established by the Central Bank of Guatemala, based on the market rates and demand. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the reference exchange rates were of Q7.79382 and Q7.69884 per US$1.00, respectively. At March 4, 2021, date in which the Management of the Company approved the financial statements, the exchange rate was for Q 7.71007 per US$1.00.
The risk of exchange rate depends on the net financial position in foreign currency at the date of the financial statements. On the next table is a summary of the financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency in US$ 000.

Sensitivity analysis
The effect of change in the exchange rates of +1.2% / -1.2% in 2020 (+ 0.5% / -0.5% in 2019) over assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency at December 31, 2020 and 2019, assuming the remaining variations are kept constant, would result in the recognition of a foreign exchange rate profit or loss of Q1,676 in 2020 (Q392 in 2019).

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that arises from the possibility that a counterparty is unable to comply with its obligation, which results in a financial loss for the Company. The Company is exposed to the risk of credit of the operating activities (mainly, accounts receivable, accounts receivable from related parties and other financial instruments) and financial activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions.

The Company’s management does not believe there are significant risks of non-performance by these counterparties. The Company’s management has taken steps to diversify the banks with whom the Company operates and is managing the allocation of deposits across banks so that the Company’s counterparty risk with a given bank stays within limits which have been set based on each bank credit rating to avoid any significant exposure to a specific party.

A large portion of revenues comprises prepaid airtime. For customers for whom telecom services are not prepaid, the Company follows risk control procedures to assess the credit quality of the customer, considering its financial position, past experience and other factors.

Accounts receivable are mainly derived from balances due from other telecom operators or commercial customers. Credit checks are being performed for commercial customers. The Company maintains an allowance for impairment of accounts receivable based on the expected credit loss of all accounts receivable.

As the Company has a number of dispersed customers, there is no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the date of the financial statements is the carrying value for each class of financial asset.

Liquidity risk
The liquidity risk is the risk in which an entity finds difficulty to comply with the obligations associated with financial liabilities to be liquidated through the delivery of cash or another financial asset. The Company provides daily follow-up to its liquidity position, maintaining liquid assets higher than liquid liabilities, considering the expected conversion to cash of its financial assets, and completes periodical projections of cash flows with the purpose of proactively managing its cash flows.

27.    Financial instruments – information about fair values

The primary financial instruments of the Company consist of cash and accounts receivable, accounts receivable form related parties, other financial assets, accounts payable, accounts payable from related parties, accrued interest and loans.

The fair value of all financial assets and all financial liabilities, except for debt and financing, approximate their carrying value largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair values of other debt and financing have been estimated by the Company’s management based on discounted future cash flows at market interest rates (level 2).

Below is a comparison of the debt’s carrying amount and the fair value at December 31:

Carrying value Fair value
2020 2019 2020 2019
Loans Q 1,941,820 Q 6,261,144 Q 1,882,732 Q 6,067,086

Fair value estimates are made on the date of the financial statements, based on relevant market information and on information related to the financial instruments.

The nature of these estimates is subjective and involves uncertain aspects and Management’s judgment, therefore these amounts are not determined with absolute precision. Consequently, should there be changes in the assumptions on which these estimates are based they could differ from the final results.


28.    Events after the date of the financial position statement

The Company has no knowledge of any subsequent events since December 31, 2020 and up to the date of approval of these financial statements that might have an impact or might require additional disclosures to them.
