Maintained strong growth in mobile services
Q2 2014 HIGHLIGHTS
Strong mobile end-user service revenue growth for the Group
■ In the quarter, total net sales amounted to SEK 6,343 (6,424) million, affected by fixed line telephony and termination rates. However, more importantly mobile end-user service revenue grew by 7 percent amounting to SEK 3,094 (2,900) million. This trend was driven by positive usage of mobile data, compensating less revenue from mobile voice and SMS.
Robust operational performance in Tele2 Sweden
■ Mobile end-user service revenue in Sweden grew by 4 percent in Q2 2014, driven by increased usage in the postpaid segment. The mobile EBITDA contribution in the quarter was SEK 777 (757) million.
Maintained positive customer intake within mobile for Tele2 Netherlands
■ Tele2 Netherlands continued to gain market share by adding 27,000 (49,000) customers and taking the total mobile customer base to 768,000 (584,000). Mobile end-user service revenue amounted to SEK 308 (227) million, growing by 36 percent in Q2 2014.
Strong customer intake for Tele2 Kazakhstan
■ Customer intake amounted to 213,000 (309,000) in Q2 2014, as the new commission structure yielded results. End-user service revenue grew by 1 percent in Q2 2014, amounting to SEK 225 (223) million impacted by devaluation of the local currency and lower interconnect levels. However, thanks to improved operational scale and lower interconnect levels, EBITDA amounted to SEK 3 (–52) million.
Sale of Tele2 Norway
■ In July 2014, Tele2 agreed to sell its Norwegian business to TeliaSonera for an Enterprise Value of SEK 5.1 billion, equivalent to a cash value of SEK 5.3 billion. The transaction follows Tele2's strategic review of its Norwegian business prompted by changes to the structure of the Norwegian market as a result of the license auction in December 2013. The sale will be completed after approval by regulatory authorities. Tele2 Norway has been presented in this report as discontinued operations.
Changed financial guidance
■ As a result of the sale of Tele2 Norway, the financial guidance for 2014 has changed (see page 4).

CEO Word, Q2 2014
This quarter's results demonstrate that we are delivering on our growth strategy in all major regions with mobile end-user service revenue growth rising by 7 percent. Our investment in this growth is having the anticipated impact on our margins, as we are developing our mobile operations in the Netherlands, Kazakhstan, and other markets.
Our Swedish operations continued to enjoy good end-user service revenue growth during the quarter. The demand for mobile data maintained its strong momentum as our customers' usage of streaming services grew. However, the quarter was also characterized by tougher competition, in both the price and value segments. As a result, our marketing efforts increased in the quarter to ensure maintained price leadership for Comviq and value leadership for Tele2.
Our Dutch consumer fixed broadband operations started to turn the corner in the quarter showing positive customer intake in the consumer segment. This was accom-
plished through improved pricing of our broadband product in combination with better TV offerings. Going forward, we will maintain our effort to develop this area which will play a complementary role in the composition of our total product offering. The mobile business kept its pace through an innovative pricing and packaging strategy which increased market share. It is a very competitive environment; and, we will innovate to stay ahead of the game. As an example, new pricing models were introduced through SmartMix, Nonstop and the Click and Collect concept, which draws from the positive experience we already have in the Swedish market. In the Netherlands, our network rollout accelerated in the quarter. Also, our technical organization continued to improve processes to further increase network roll-out speed.
On the 7th of July, we announced the sale of our Norwegian business. Since the creation of Tele2 Norway in 1995, we have
"Our Swedish operations continued to enjoy good end-user service revenue growth during the quarter. The demand for mobile data maintained its strong momentum as our customers' usage of streaming services grew."
built a successful mobile business of 1.2 million subscribers. We are proud of the strong brand name, effective organization, and talented employees. Subject to approval from the Norwegian competition authorities, the proposed sale is good for our customers, shareholders, and Tele2 as a whole.
Tele2 Kazakhstan saw further progress in customer intake, as the result of the remodeled commission structure. Our commercial offers were also better aligned to meet a strongly growing mobile data demand. Our improving position within 3G services reinforces this
strong drive in mobile data. The network rollout maintained its momentum; and, our technical team closed the margin on our competitors' capabilities.
Within one of our new growth areas, M2M/IoT (Internet of Things) won a major contract by providing connectivity across Europe to the Vattenfall group. Even though it is early days, we believe that our partnership program lays the foundation for further success in this field.
Our focus for 2014 is clear. The Netherlands and Kazakhstan are building a mobile business for the future, contributing strongly to the Group's overall growth. Sweden stands as the standard when it comes to creating a profitable and data centric business model.

■ Tele2 agreed to sell its Norwegian business to TeliaSonera for an Enterprise Value of SEK 5.1 billion, equivalent to a cash value of SEK 5.3 billion (Note 10)
Financial Overview
Tele2's financial performance is driven by a consistent focus on developing mobile services on own infrastructure, complemented in certain countries by fixed broadband services and business-tobusiness offerings. Mobile net sales, which grew compared to the same period last year, combined with greater efforts to develop mobile services on own infrastructure have had a positive impact on Tele2's EBITDA. The Group will concentrate on maximizing the return from fixed-line services.
Following the announced sale of Tele2 Norway, the business unit is reported separately under discontinued operations in the income statement, with a retrospective effect in previous periods, and as assets held for sale in the balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 (see Note 10).
Net customer intake amounted to 250,000 (312,000) in Q2 2014. The customer intake in mobile services amounted to 286,000 (433,000). This development was mainly driven by positive customer intake in Kazakhstan, Croatia, the Netherlands and Germany. The fixed broadband customer base decreased by –9,000 (-12,000) customers in Q2 2014, primarily attributable to Tele2's operations in Sweden. However, the quarter also showed a turnaround in the fixed broadband customer base in the Netherlands following an improved product portfolio. As expected, the number of fixed telephony customers fell in Q2 2014 by -27,000 (-109,000). On June 30, 2014 the total customer base amounted to 13,439,000 (13,949,000).
Net sales in Q2 2014 amounted to SEK 6,343 (6,424) million. The net sales development was mainly a result of lower interconnect levels within mobile services (see page 17 for mobile external net sales split) and negative net sales development within consumer fixed telephony and fixed broadband. However, mobile end-user service revenue continued to grow by 7 percent as the use of mobile data surged in the quarter.
EBITDA in Q2 2014 amounted to SEK 1,466 (1,474) million, equivalent to an EBITDA margin of 23 (23) percent. The EBITDA development was positively affected by SEK 48 million in the Netherlands (see note 2). The operational development was also affected by expansion costs in the mobile segment, tougher competition in the

Net sales
fixed broadband segment and a decreasing fixed telephony customer base. However, relatively better monetization of mobile data usage supported the operational development.
EBIT in Q2 2014 amounted to SEK 786 (769) million excluding oneoff items. Including one-off items, EBIT amounted to SEK 787 (772) million.
Profit before tax in Q2 2014 amounted to SEK 1,026 (624) million. The EBT development was positively affected by SEK 363 million due to a revaluation of the put option of the business in Kazakhstan. The change relates to the devaluation of the Kazakhstan currency as well as increased financing provided by Tele2.
Net profit in Q2 2014 amounted to SEK 818 (369) million. Reported tax for Q2 2014 amounted to SEK -208 (-255) million. Tax payment affecting cash flow amounted to SEK -46 (-7) million. Deferred tax assets amounted to SEK 2.2 billion at the end of the quarter.
Cash flow after CAPEX in Q2 2014 amounted to SEK 309 (572, excluding Norway) million mainly due to mobile network roll-outs in Sweden, the Netherlands, and Kazakhstan.
CAPEX in Q2 2014 amounted to SEK 850 (714) million, driven principally by further network expansion in Sweden, the Netherlands and Kazakhstan.
Net debt amounted to SEK 9,268 (8,879) million on June 30, 2014, or 1.59 times 12-month rolling EBITDA. Tele2's available liquidity amounted to SEK 8,661 (12,033) million (see Note 3 for further information on financial debt).
EBITDA/EBITDA margin
Financial Guidance
Following the divestment of Tele2 Norway, Tele2 AB makes the following update to the guidance for 2014 for continuing operations:
- Tele2 expects total revenue of between SEK 24.8 and 25.2 (earlier 30.0 including Tele2 Norway) billion.
- Tele2 expects EBITDA of between SEK 5.7 and 5.8 (earlier 6.0 including Tele2 Norway) billion.
- Tele2 forecasts a CAPEX level of between SEK 3.5 and 3.8 (earlier 4.5 including Tele2 Norway) billion.
In addition to the sale of Tele2 Norway, the revenue part of the financial guidance has been impacted by:
- The devaluation of the Kazakhstan currency.
- Generally lower handset sales within our mobile businesses.
Both of these factors have a limited impact on EBITDA.
Shareholder remuneration
Tele2 will seek to pay a progressive ordinary dividend of 50 percent or more of net income excluding one-off items. Extraordinary dividends and the authority to purchase Tele2's own shares will be sought when the anticipated total return to shareholders is deemed to be greater than the achievable returns from the deployment of the capital within the Group's operations or the acquisition of assets within Tele2's economic requirements.
Balance sheet
Tele2 has a target net debt to EBITDA ratio of between 1.25 and 1.75 times over the medium term. The Group's longer term financial leverage should be in line with the industry and the markets in which it operates, and reflect the status of its operations, future strategic opportunities and obligations.

Sweden
Mobile In Q2 2014, underlying end-user service revenue amounted to SEK 1,815 (1,746) million, with a growth of 4 percent compared to the same period last year. Total customer base was 3,717,000 (3,743,000) and the EBITDA contribution reached SEK 777 (757) million in the quarter.
The residential postpaid market was characterized by enhanced activities and promotions from competitors offering increased sizes of data buckets, as well as continued price pressure. A majority of the residential postpaid segment's customer base (63 percent) is now on bucket price plans and the share of 4G-enabled handsets sold reached 90 percent, demonstrating the continuously increasing demand for high-speed mobile data.
The intensified network rollout, leading to an area coverage increase from 70 to 90 percent, started with a positive response. Through this rollout, Tele2 Sweden will cement its position as the operator offering the best mobile 4G coverage in Sweden while further future-proofing its network.
In the business segment, Q2 2014 proved to be a strong quarter for the large enterprise segment as the company acquired significant new customers such as Bonnier, Kriminalvården and Tullverket. Also, the segment continued to see an increased market demand for Communication as a Service, driven by the new Kammarkollegiet agreement for the Public sector. Furthermore, the growth in mobile service revenue continued and an all-time high of 55 percent (Survey conducted by Millward Brown) of the Swedish business market is now considering choosing Tele2 as an operator.
Fixed broadband The fixed broadband had a positive development in Q2 2014 with an EBITDA contribution of SEK 25 (19) million, driven by the above mentioned development in the business segment.
Fixed telephony The EBITDA contribution in the quarter amounted to SEK 57 (62) million. Tele2 Sweden saw, as expected, a continued decrease in demand for fixed telephony as a consequence of the increased demand for mobile bucket price plans.
The Netherlands
The second quarter of 2014 marked the continuation of mobile growth and saw for the first time in 36 months an increase in the residential fixed broadband customer base. The marketing

campaign re-launching the Tele2 brand in the previous quarter also led to an increase in consideration among consumers and businesses, which should convert into future sales growth in all segments. In the business segment, Tele2 Netherlands was able to add yet more important contracts to its portfolio. The rollout of the 4G mobile network accelerated in the quarter.
Mobile Tele2 Netherlands, still operating as a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), maintained its position as one of the fastest growing mobile providers in the Dutch market. A net intake of 27,000 (49,000) customers brought the total mobile customer base to 768,000. This resulted in an increased end-user service revenue of 36 percent, amounting to SEK 308 (227) million. In the quarter, the consumer preferences continued to be more in favor of SIM-only rather than mobile offers in combination with handsets.
MNO launch Tele2 Netherlands' rollout continued to gather pace. The preparatory work on site acquisitions, combined with backhaul and power arrangements, has resulted in a growing funnel of sites leading to an increase in the rollout speed.
Fixed broadband Tele2 Netherlands has focused on improving its fixed service portfolio for the past three quarters. Q2 2014 marked the expansion of the VDSL footprint from 1.5 million to 3.8 million Dutch households, thereby enabling Tele2 Netherlands to offer higher bandwidth connections.
The customer base development reflected these improvements and following 36 months of decline, Tele2 Netherlands returned to growth with a positive intake in the consumer segment. The total customer base amounted to 367,000 (397,000).
In Q2 2014, the Dutch business sales team was once again able to add several new big contracts to its client list. The company managed to attract the Royal Dutch Airlines KLM, offering fixed line telephony to more than 18.000 connections. Tele2 Netherlands will also execute an important part of Tele2 Group's contract with the Vattenfall Group, offering nationwide M2M services to the Dutch branch Nuon.
Norway
On the 7th of July, Tele2 AB agreed to sell Tele2 Norway to Telia-Sonera for or an Enterprise Value of SEK 5.1 billion, equivalent to a cash value of SEK 5.3 billion. The sale will be completed after
approval by regulatory authorities. As a result, Tele2 Norway is reported under discontinued operations in the income statement, with a retrospective effect in previous periods, and as assets held for sale in the balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 (see Note 10).
Kazakhstan
Mobile Throughout Q2 2014, Tele2 Kazakhstan continued to show growing customer intake and good operational progress. Customer intake amounted to 213,000 (309,000) customers during the quarter, taking the total customer base to 2,984,000 (3,162,000). Mobile end-user service revenue grew by 1 percent compared to same quarter previous year due to termination rate cut and devaluation of local currency and amounted to SEK 225 (223) million. The EBITDA contribution was SEK 3 (–52) million.
Tele2 Kazakhstan kept launching new offers for customers, such as the unlimited on-net tariff plan in eight new regions of Kazakhstan, aimed at strengthening its price leadership position in the market. Furthermore, the first online re-registration of a mobile number was launched by Tele2 Kazakhstan in June 2014.
The company continued to invest in its mobile network in order to improve quality perception in the market. Most efforts concentrated on expanding geographical coverage and improving network quality. This, combined with commercial activities and the launches of new offers across all the regions of Kazakhstan, resulted in a more than 75 percent increase in mobile data traffic.
Croatia
Mobile With attractive offers during the whole quarter and a special offer in June, Tele2 Croatia achieved a net intake of 45,000 (13,000) customers. Tele2 Croatia had a solid end-user service revenue increase of 7 percent, while net sales declined by –1 percent due to reduced mobile termination rates and lower roaming prices. During Q2 2014, Tele2 Croatia continued to improve operationally with a strong EBITDA contribution of SEK 33 (22) million.
The regulatory environment became more uncertain in the quarter as the local government unexpectedly announced the increase of radio frequency fees in the country by three times by December 2014. Tele2 Croatia believes that the frequency fee increase is in breach of EU legislation and is disputing the matter. However, as a proactive measure Tele2 Croatia increased prices from July 1 for all its customers to cover the increased cost for frequencies.
Lithuania
Mobile Despite strong competition, Tele2 Lithuania maintained a solid performance in Q2 2014 with stable end-user services revenue at SEK 213 (213) million.
During the quarter, Tele2 Lithuania reached an EBITDA of SEK 127 (133) million. The decline was mainly driven by higher level of acquisition and marketing costs required in Q2 2014 to face increased competition. However, Tele2 Lithuania's EBITDA margin remained high at 38 (41) percent in the quarter due to good cost control.
Faced with intensified price pressure from competition, Tele2 Lithuania will work to further improve its retention activities. The company will also continue to aggressively grow its market share in the business segment, benefiting from general price sensitivity among private companies and state-owned organizations.
Tele2 Lithuania maintained its efforts to build out its 2G/3G/4G network to improve its perception in the market. As a result of finalized network swap Tele2 Lithuania has very modern infrastructure ready for 4G and improved customer experience.
Tele2 Lithuania was selected to be the most efficient company in Lithuania in a 3rd party survey.
Latvia
Mobile Tele2 Latvia continued to operate under difficult market conditions in Q2 2014.
The company's end-user service revenue was SEK 134 (136) million in the quarter, impacted by reduced mobile termination rates. Having achieved a significant gain in reputation through ongoing attention to service excellence and performance, Tele2 Latvia concentrated its efforts on maintaining its efficiency during the quarter despite a heightened level of competition in the market. However, as a result of increasing price pressure, the EBITDA margin decreased to 30 (32) percent.
Tele2 Latvia will pursue its active position in the market while keeping its focus on revenue growth, customer satisfaction and future development.
Network swap has been finalized and Tele2 Latvia now has a very modern infrastructure ready for 4G and improved customer experience.
Tele2 Latvia was awarded as the best customer service provider among all telecom operators in Latvia.
Estonia
Mobile Tele2 Estonia showed a solid financial performance during Q2 2014 under difficult market conditions, with end-user service revenue and EBITDA amounting to SEK 97 (98) million and SEK 32 (28) million respectively.
Tele2 Estonia achieved a record high Customer Satisfaction score in Q2 2014 and launched 4G for mobile broadband services on the 800 MHz band.
Tele2 Estonia will focus on increasing customer intake by utilizing all commercial channels, but especially its own shops as they generate higher ARPU customers. Tele2 Estonia will also work on optimizing its fiber network. The objective is to acquire more business customers by providing them with direct data link not only in Estonia, but also through partners abroad.
The network swap is planned to be finalized during Q3 2014, which will lead to a very modern infrastructure ready for 4G and improved customer experience.
Tele2 Estonia prepaid was the most popular prepaid card in Estonia in a survey concluded in Q1 2014.
Austria

Fixed telephony Successful retention and cross-selling activities through online continued throughout the quarter.
Germany
Solid growth in the mobile segment continued during the quarter, in a highly competitive market. The fixed and broadband segments still provided sustainable financial performance to support Tele2 Germany's transformation into a fixed and mobile service provider. The targeted stabilization and growth of the German operations is developing as planned resulting in a net sales increase of 6 percent to SEK 226 (214) million in Q2 2014 compared to the same period last year.

Risks and uncertainty factors
Tele2's operations are affected by a number of external factors. The risk factors considered to be most significant to Tele2's future development are operating risks, such as the availability of frequencies and telecom licenses, price competition, integration of new business models, changes in regulatory legislation, operation in Kazakhstan, network sharing with other parties, and financial risks such as currency risk, interest risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. In addition to the risks described in Tele2's annual report for 2013 (see Directors' report and Note 2 of the report for a detailed description of Tele2's risk exposure and risk management), no additional significant risks are estimated to have developed.
development more than compensates for the decline of customers and net sales in the fixed line services.
Fixed broadband and telephony Though following the general declining market trend, the fixed telephony (Carrier Pre-Selection and Open Call-by-Call) and fixed broadband segments generated cash contributions above plan and provided a source for cross-sale to mobile services – both regular mobile services and higher ARPU fixed-via mobile services.

Auditors' Review Report
Introduction
We have reviewed the interim report for Tele2 AB (publ.) for the period January 1 – June 30, 2014. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND DEFINITIONS
The interim report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and the interim report for the parent company has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board recommendation RFR 2 Reporting for legal entities and its statements.
The new and amended IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations (IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12, IAS 27, IAS 28, IAS 32, IAS 36, IAS 39 and IFRIC 21), which became effective January 1, 2014, have had no material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In all other respects, Tele2 has presented this interim report in accordance with the accounting principles and calculation methods used in the 2013 Annual Report. The description of these principles and definitions is found in the 2013 Annual Report.
NOTE 1 NET SALES AND CUSTOMERS NET SALES
In Q1 2014, the net sales in Sweden was positively impacted by SEK 73 million as a result of decisions by the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS) regarding termination rates for previous periods, of which mobile amounted to SEK 78 million and fixed broadband to SEK -5 million. The effect on EBITDA is stated in Note 2.
CUSTOMERS
In Q1 2014, the fixed broadband customer stock in Sweden decreased with -385,000 customers as a result of the sale of the Swedish residential cable and fiber operations. For additional information please refer to Note 10.
In Q4 2013, the definition of an active customer in the customer stock was changed to exclude Machine-to-Machine subscriptions (M2M). The one time effect on the customer stock in each segment is presented below:
| –1,000 –13,000 –3,000 –3,000 |
|---|
| –4,000 |
| –8,000 |
| –57,000 |
In Q2 2013, the mobile customer stock was negatively impacted by a one-time adjustment of -811,000 customers in Kazakhstan as a result of a changed method for calculating number of customers so a customer with only incoming calls to its voicemail is no longer counted as an active customer.
NOTE 2 OPERATING EXPENSES EBITDA
In Q2 2014, the EBITDA for fixed telephony in Netherlands was positively impacted by SEK 48 million as a result of settled disputes regarding wholesale line rental.
In Q1 2014, the EBITDA in Sweden was positively impacted by SEK 8 million as a result of decisions by PTS, as stated in Note 1, regarding termination rates for previous periods, of which mobile amounted to SEK 35 million, fixed broadband to SEK -15 million and fixed telephony to SEK -12 million.
DEPRECIATION/AMORTIZATION AND IMPAIRMENT
In Q4 2013, Kazakhstan was negatively affected by SEK 89 million, related to an impairment loss of SEK 73 million due to change to a new billing system and an extra depreciation of SEK 16 million.
In Q3 2013, an impairment loss on non-current assets was recognized in Croatia amounting to SEK 454 million. The impairment loss was based on an estimated value in use of SEK 400 million by using pre-tax discount rate of 10 percent. Due to unsatisfactory development, Tele2 assessed that the estimated future profit levels did not support the previous book value. The negative effect was reported as a one-off item for segment reporting purposes.
ONE-OFF ITEMS
In Q1 2014, other operating expenses was negatively affected by SEK 18 million, related to the devaluation in Kazakhstan. The negative effect has been reported as a one-off item for segment reporting purposes. The total foreign exchange rate effect of assets and liabilities in Kazakhstan was reported in other comprehensive income and amounted in Q1 2014 to SEK -117 million. Please refer to Note 4 regarding effects on change in fair value of put option Kazakhstan.

CLASSIFICATION AND FAIR VALUES
Tele2's financial assets consist mainly of receivables from end customers, other operators and resellers as well as cash and cash equivalents. Tele2's financial liabilities consist mainly of loans, bonds and accounts payables. Classification of financial assets and liabilities including their fair value is presented below. During the first six months 2014, compared to year-end 2013, no transfers were made between the different levels in the fair value hierarchy and no significant changes were made to valuation techniques, inputs used or assumptions except for the put option in Tele2 Kazakhstan (Note 4).
The Group has derivative contracts which are covered by master netting agreements. That means a right exists to set off assets and liabilities with the same party, which is not reflected in the accounting where gross accounting is applied. The value of reported derivatives at June 30, 2014 amounted on the asset side to SEK 2 (8) million and on the liabilities side to SEK 232 (146) million.

| SEK million | Jun 30, 2014 | Dec 31, 2013 |
On December 31, 2013 Tele2 Sweden was defendant in a dispute with Verizon Sweden AB of SEK 220 million. On February 7, 2014 the District court issued its award and ruled in favor of Tele2. In Q2 2014, the case was settled where the parties paid for their own litigation costs.
Tele2 has obligations to dismantle assets and restore premises within fixed telephony and fixed broadband in the Netherlands as well as in Austria. Tele2 assesses such dismantling as improbable and consequently only reported this obligation as contingent liabilities.
The tax authorities in Russia are currently performing tax audits on several of Tele2's former subsidiaries in Russia. Per the sales agreement with the VTB-group Tele2 is liable for any additional taxes payable as result of the tax audits. Even though it cannot be ruled out that Tele2 may be liable to certain costs, Tele2 assesses that it is not likely that any additional taxes need to be paid and consequently no provision has been made.
Additional contractual commitments are stated in Note 29 in the Annual Report 2013.

DIVIDEND/REDEMPTION
In Q2 2014, Tele2 paid to its shareholders a dividend of SEK 4.40 (7.10) per share for 2013. This corresponded to a total of SEK 1,960 (3,163) million.
As a result of the sale of Tele2 Russia in April 2013 a mandatory share redemption program of SEK 28 per share was issued during Q2 2013, equivalent to SEK 12,474 million. The redemption program implied a share split where each share was split into two shares, of which one was a redemption share. Retirement of redemption shares in own custody of SEK 92 million was transferred to unrestricted equity. A bonus issue was performed in order to increase the share capital to its prior level, SEK 561 million, through a transfer of SEK 280 million from unrestricted equity. Thereafter, the quota value of each share amounts to SEK 1.25, the same as prior to the share redemption program. In total SEK 15,637 million was paid to the shareholders in Q2 2013 as dividend and redemption.
RECLASSIFICATION
In Q2 2014, 150,000 class C shares in own custody were reclassified into class B shares in own custody.
In Q1 2014 and Q3 2013, 406 (15) and 726,650 class A shares respectively were reclassified into class B shares in Tele2.
SALE OF SHARES
As a result of share rights in the LTI 2010 being exercised during Q2 2013, Tele2 delivered 836,389 B-shares in own custody.

In July 2009 and January 2010, Tele2 acquired the remaining 25.5 and 12.5 percent respectively of the shares in Tele2 Izhevsk and Tele2 Rostov in Russia. The final purchase price of SEK 3 and 90 million respectively was paid in Q1 2013.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM (LTI)

During the Annual General Meeting held on May 12, 2014, the shareholders approved a performance-based incentive program (the Plan) for senior executives and other key employees in the Tele2 Group. The Plan has the same structure as last year's incentive program.
The objective of the Plan is to create conditions for retaining competent employees in the Tele2 Group. The Plan has been designed based on the view that it is desirable that senior executives and other key employees within the Group are shareholders in Tele2 AB. By offering an allotment of retention rights and performance rights which are based on profits and other retention and performance-based conditions, the participants are rewarded for increasing shareholder value. Furthermore, the Plan rewards employees' loyalty and long-term growth in the Group. In that context, the Board of Directors is of the opinion that the Plan will have a positive effect on the future development of the Tele2 Group and thus be beneficial to both the company and its shareholders.
The incentive program included a total of 198 senior executives and other key employees within the Tele2 Group. In general, the participants in the Plan are required to own shares in Tele2. Thereafter, the participants were granted retention rights and performance rights free of charge. As a consequence of market conditions, employees in Kazakhstan were offered to participate in the Plan without being required to hold shares in Tele2. In such cases, the number of allotted rights has been reduced, and corresponds to 37.5 percent of the number of rights allotted for participation with a personal investment.
Subject to the fulfilment of certain retention and performance-based conditions during the period April 1, 2014 - March 31, 2017 (the measurement period), the participant maintaining employment within the Tele2 Group at the release of the interim report January - March 2017 and subject to the participant maintaining the invested shares (where applicable) during the vesting period, each right entitles the employee to receive one Class B share in the company. Dividends paid on the underlying share will increase the number of shares that each retention and performance right entitles to in order to treat the shareholders and the participants equally.
The rights are divided into Series A, Series B and Series C. The number of shares the participant will receive depends on which category the participant belongs to and on the fulfilment of the following defined conditions:
| Series A | Tele2's total shareholder return on the Tele2 shares (TSR) during the measure period exceeding 0 percent as entry level. |
|---|---|
| Series B | Tele2's average normalized return of capital employed (ROCE) during the measurement period being at least 9 percent as entry level and at least 12 percent as the stretch target. |
| Series C | Tele2's total shareholder return on the Tele2 shares (TSR) during the measure period being equal to the aver age TSR for a peer Group including Elisa, Iliad, Millicom International Cellular, TalkTalk Telecom Group, Telenor, TeliaSonera and TDC as entry level, and exceeding the average TSR for the peer Group with 10 percentage points as the stretch target. |
| The determined levels of the conditions include an entry level and a |
stretch target with a linear interpolation applied between those levels as regards the number of rights that vests. The entry level constitutes the minimum level which must be reached in order to enable the vesting of the rights in that series. If the entry level is reached, the number of rights that vests is proposed to be 100 percent for Series A and 20 percent for Series B and C. If the entry level is not reached, all rights to retention and performance shares (as applicable) in that series lapse. If a stretch target is met, all retention rights or performance rights (as applicable) vest in that series.
The Plan comprised a total number of 273,192 shares, of which 264,192 related to employees who invested in Tele2 shares and 9,000 related to employees in Kazakhstan who chose not to invest in Tele2 shares. In total this resulted in an allotment of 1,180,268 share rights, of which 267,556 Series A, 456,356 Series B and 456,356 Series C. The participants were divided into different categories and were granted the following number of share rights for the different categories:
| Share right | |||||||

| Total | 198 | 1,180,268 |
Total costs before tax for outstanding rights in the incentive program are expensed over the three-year vesting period, and these costs are expected to amount to SEK 64 million, of which social security costs amount to SEK 24 million.
The participant's maximum profit per share right in the Plan is limited to SEK 355, five times the average closing share price of the Tele2 Class B shares during February 2013 with deduction for the dividend paid in May 2014.
The estimated average fair value of the granted rights was SEK 54 on the grant date, June 2, 2014. The calculation of the fair value was carried out by an external expert. The following variables were used:
| Series A | Series B | Series C | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected annual turnover of personnel | 7.0% | 7.0% | 7.0% |
| Weighted average share price | 79.39 | 79.39 | 79.39 |
| Expected life | 2.90 years | 2.90 years | 2.90 years |
| Expected value reduction parameter market condition | 70% | - | 35% |
To ensure the delivery of Class B shares under the Plan, the Extraordinary General Meeting decided to authorise the Board of Directors to resolve on a directed issue of a maximum of 1,700,000 Class C shares and subsequently to repurchase the Class C shares. The Class C shares will then be held by the company during the vesting period, after which the appropriate number of Class C shares will be reclassified into Class B shares and delivered to the participants under the Plan.
