As previously has been disclosed in filings with the Commission, Mr. Stenbeck was the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Invik and Industriforvaltnings AB Kinnevik; he also had substantial direct or indirect shareholdings in each of Invik and Kinnevik. Mr. Stenbeck passed away on August 19, 2002, and the estate of Mr. Stenbeck is currently under administration in Luxembourg and Sweden. A notary and an administrator have been appointed in Luxembourg, and an attorney has been elected by the Stockholm City Court as Swedish legal administrator of the Estate. The administrators in Luxembourg and Sweden consult and inform each other, as well as the heirs, of any decisions or acts taken regarding the Estate. No date has been set for the distribution of the Estate. Proceedings. During the past five years neither Invik nor any of the other persons listed in Schedule A hereto has been convicted in a criminal proceeding nor has any such person been a party to any judicial or administrative proceeding that resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining such person from future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, U.S. federal or state securities laws, or a finding of any violation of U.S. federal or state securities laws. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. On February 16, 2004, Invik and Kinnevik entered into a statutory merger under the Swedish Companies Act that was approved by the shareholders of each company on April 16, 2004, and closed July 28, 2004. In connection with the merger, Kinnevik has been dissolved, with its assets and liabilities being transferred to Invik. Each Kinnevik class A share was exchanged for 3.5 new Invik class A shares and each Kinnevik class B share was exchanged for 3.5 new Invik class B shares. Immediately prior to the merger, Invik held 1,253,888 Common Shares. Following the merger, it holds 31,092,535 Common Shares (giving it 34.9% of the voting power and capital of Millicom). Following the merger, Invik was also renamed Investment AB Kinnevik. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. The boards of directors of Invik and Kinnevik agreed to merge the companies after determining that a simplified company structure and the elimination of cross-holdings between the two companies would be beneficial for them, as well as their shareholders. Following shareholder approval of the merger, the exchange of Kinnevik shares for new Invik shares became binding on all Kinnevik shareholders, including Invik. Subsequent to the shareholder approval, an approval from the creditors of Kinnevik and an approval by the Swedish Companies Registration Office, the merger was completed on July 28, 2004. Invik intends to review from time to time the business affairs and financial condition of Millicom. Based on such evaluation and review, general economic and industry conditions existing at the time and Invik's working capital requirements, Invik may from time to time consider alternative courses of action with respect to the Class A Shares or the Class B Shares it holds. Such actions could include the sale of all or a portion of such securities in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through a public offering or otherwise. Otherwise, Invik does not have current plans or proposals to dispose of all or a portion of its respective Class A Shares or Class B Shares or that otherwise relates to or would result in a transaction of the type described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
