Strong mobile end-user service revenue growth for the Group
■ In the quarter, total net sales amounted to SEK 6,584 (6,500) million and EBITDA to SEK 1,682 (1,471) million, positively impacted by strong development in the mobile segment. Mobile end-user service revenue grew by 8 percent amounting to SEK 3,252 (3,008) million, driven by improved monetization of mobile data usage.
Healthy top and bottom line progress in Tele2 Sweden
■ Mobile end-user service revenue in Sweden grew by 6 percent in Q3 2014 and EBITDA increased to SEK 910 (760) million, both impacted by accelerated data usage in predominantly the postpaid segment.
Maintained positive customer intake within mobile for Tele2 Netherlands
■ Tele2 Netherlands continued to gain market share by adding 23,000 (56,000) customers and taking the total mobile customer base to 791,000 (640,000). Mobile end-user service revenue amounted to SEK 321 (259) million, growing by 24 percent in Q3 2014.
Quality customer intake for Tele2 Kazakhstan
■ Customer intake amounted to 108,000 (–14,000) in Q3 2014, as the new commission structure started to yield results. Improved quality of customer intake and increasing data consumption supported the operational development. As a result, Mobile end-user service revenue grew by 7 percent in Q3 2014, amounting to SEK 257 (240) million despite being impacted by devaluation of the local currency. Through improved operational scale and lower interconnect levels, EBITDA amounted to SEK 22 (–34) million.
Sale of Tele2 Norway
■ In July 2014, Tele2 agreed to sell its Norwegian business to TeliaSonera for 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, which is expected in Q1 2015. Tele2 Norway has been presented in this report as discontinued operations.

CEO Word, Q3 2014
Q3 2014 was a high quality quarter with strong results across the board, resulting from our ability to monetize a great customer experience from our excellent mobile network. Our persistent focus on LTE/4G is now paying off, with strong top and bottom line progress in the quarter. This trend has been very clear in Sweden, and is now also apparent in other parts of our footprint. As a result, our mobile end-user service revenue grew by 8 percent in combination with strong operational performance.
LTE/4G is surely a game changer, even though we still are in the early stage of monetizing mobile data. Today, our major opportunity is to ensure that we keep delivering services that will enable and support our customers' aspiration for a wireless lifestyle and foster further development of the current trend. Therefore we will relentlessly pursue our work to move the Tele2 brand from Discounter to Value Champion.
Sweden was the strongest performer in the quarter, leading the way for the rest of the Group. Mobile end-user service revenue increased by 6 percent as the usage of our mobile data service surged. I am particularly pleased with the revenue growth filtering
through to better EBITDA contribution with a margin of 33 percent. Going forward we will maintain our investment efforts into what is already today the world's best LTE/4G network, as we see a strong correlation between the growing demand of mobile data services and great mobile networks.
In the Netherlands our network roll-out gathered further momentum in the quarter, delivering improved population coverage through better processes and close relationships with our vendors. The mobile business kept its pace during the quarter. However, better distribution and our own mobile network are crucial to improving performance. During the quarter, our fixed broadband business executed well in a demanding market environment with positive customer intake.
"Q3 2014 was a high quality quarter with strong results across the board, resulting from our ability to monetize a great customer experience from our excellent mobile network. Our persistent focus on LTE/4G is now paying off, with strong top and bottom line progress in the quarter."
Our Kazakh operation maintained its positive trajectory and delivered solid results in the quarter. We continued to work on our distribution channel strategy, as further improvements are needed to reduce churn in our customer base. The demand for data services is growing fast. Our investments in the country will contribute to strengthening our position within 3G services and close the coverage gap between us and our competitors to better support our customers' needs.
Tele2's operations in the Baltic region and in Croatia showed very robust improvement in Q3 2014. It is always gratifying to see hard work paying off. Within this group
of well performing companies, I once again need to highlight Croatia as a phenomenal comeback kid that has moved from a struggling business to become a real growth story.
To proactively drive the process to get clearance from the competition authorities on our sale of Tele2 Norway, we announced an agreement on frequency lease and sale of infrastructure to the third largest mobile operator in the country. As a result, our view on getting the deal done by Q1 2015, is unchanged.
Our focus remains the same. The Netherlands and Kazakhstan are building mobile business for our future, contributing strongly to the Group's overall growth, while Sweden stands as standard when it comes to creating a profitable and data centric business model.

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 from June 30, 2014 (see Note 10).
Net customer intake amounted to 166,000 (204,000) in Q3 2014. The customer intake in mobile services amounted to 208,000 (258,000). This development was mainly driven by positive customer intake in Kazakhstan, Croatia, and Sweden. The fixed broadband customer base decreased by –8,000 (–18,000) customers in Q3 2014, primarily attributable to Tele2's operations in Sweden and Austria. 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 Q3 2014 by –34,000 (–36,000). On September 30, 2014 the total customer base amounted to 13,605,000 (14,153,000).
Net sales in Q3 2014 amounted to SEK 6,584 (6,500) million. The net sales development was mainly a result of strong usage of mobile data services, leading to a mobile end-user service revenue growth of 8 percent. This positive development was to some extent hampered by lower interconnect levels within mobile services (see page 18 for mobile external net sales split) and negative net sales development within consumer fixed telephony and fixed broadband.
EBITDA in Q3 2014 amounted to SEK 1,682 (1,471) million, equivalent to an EBITDA margin of 26 (23) percent. The operational development was mainly a result of better monetization of mobile data
usage. It was also affected by expansion costs in the mobile segment, tougher competition in the fixed broadband segment and a decreasing fixed telephony customer base.
EBIT in Q3 2014 amounted to SEK 1,004 (747) million excluding one-off items. Including one-off items, EBIT amounted to SEK 1,004 (297) million.
Profit before tax in Q3 2014 amounted to SEK 958 (138) million.
Net profit /loss in Q3 2014 amounted to SEK 726 (–123) million. Reported tax for Q3 2014 amounted to SEK –232 (–261) million. Tax payment affecting cash flow amounted to SEK –63 (–31) million. Deferred tax assets amounted to SEK 2.1 billion at the end of the quarter.
Cash flow after CAPEX in Q3 2014 amounted to SEK 475 (495) million including and SEK 621 (727) excluding Norway, mainly due to mobile network roll-outs in Sweden, the Netherlands, and Kazakhstan.
CAPEX in Q3 2014 amounted to SEK 861 (658) million, driven principally by further network expansion in Sweden, the Netherlands and Kazakhstan.
Net debt amounted to SEK 8,993 (8,346) million on September 30, 2014, or 1.49 times 12-month rolling EBITDA. Tele2's available liquidity amounted to SEK 8,788 (12,213) million (see Note 3 for further information on financial debt).
EBITDA/EBITDA margin
Financial Guidance
Tele2 AB gives the following guidance for 2014 for continuing operations, which is unchanged from Q2 2014:
- Tele2 expects total revenue of between SEK 24.8 and 25.2 billion.
- Tele2 expects EBITDA of between SEK 5.7 and 5.8 billion.
- Tele2 forecasts a CAPEX level of between SEK 3.5 and 3.8 billion.
As a result of the strong Q3 2014, the company is confident that it will reach the top end of the guidance ranges on both total revenue and 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
The quarter was characterized by strong demand for mobile data as well as continued competitive pressure, especially in the discount segment. Total net sales over the period was SEK 3,124 (3,078) million, and total EBITDA amounted to SEK 1,025 (900) million.
The business segment saw continued strong mobile revenue growth, driven by increased customer stock as well as continued strong intake within cloud PBX. Only 18 months after its launch, the PBX service is number two in the market. A strong quarter also for the Large Enterprise segment with many new and prolonged contracts.
Mobile In Q3 2014 mobile end-user service revenue amounted to SEK 1,865 (1,767) million, a growth of 6 percent compared to the same period last year. Total customer base was 3,745,000 (3,803,000) and the EBITDA contribution reached SEK 910 (760) million in the quarter, representing a growth of 20 percent compared to the same period last year and an EBITDA margin of 33 (29) percent.
Within the residential segment the strong demand for mobile data shifted sales towards higher data buckets and 64 percent of residential postpaid customers were on bucket price plans in the quarter. The number of sold data-top ups increased with almost 270 percent compared to the same period last year, proving that the consumer behavior has shifted from voice to data services. The demand for 4G enabled smartphones was maintained in the quarter, making up close to 90 percent of total sales.
In Q3 2014 the market has been impacted by maintained competitive pressure. Despite this development, Tele2's price fighting brand Comviq experienced a strong quarter with a high net intake and an increased customer base on bucket price plans thanks to improved distribution strategy.
Fixed broadband The fixed broadband showed a decline in line with previous years in Q3 2014 with an EBITDA contribution of SEK 34 (49) million, driven by solid demand within business data net services.
Fixed telephony The EBITDA contribution in the quarter amounted to SEK 51 (61) 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
Tele2 Netherlands showed stable development in the quarter with net sales amounting to SEK 1,369 (1,383) million. EBITDA amounted to SEK 206 (271) million, impacted by MNO roll-out as well as maintained price pressure in the fixed broadband market.
Mobile Tele2 Netherlands added 23,000 (56,000) customers, bringing the total mobile customer base to 791,000 (640,000). The result was in some part due to a new mobile proposition, focused on delivering low priced, fair, transparent and simple packages which was launched in September.
In Q3 2014 the business met several important milestones in the 4G roll-out. Construction of new sites is going according to plan. Meanwhile an internal testing program has started, with a number of employees testing all different aspects of the 4G network. During the quarter, Samsung also validated Tele2's 4G-network, enabling all their LTE-devices to use the network.
Fixed broadband The turnaround in residential broadband customer base development continued, resulting in highest quarter of customer intake in two and a half years. The customer base development reflected the improvements made over the last couple of months with a net intake of 1,000 (–12,000) customers, opting mostly for bundled services. The total base amounted to 368,000 (385,000). The Business sales team added several big accounts in the quarter.
Norway
On the 7th of July, Tele2 AB agreed to sell Tele2 Norway to Telia-Sonera for SEK 5.3 billion. The sale will be completed after approval by regulatory authorities, which is expected at the latest in Q1 2015. 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 from June 30, 2014 (see Note 10).
Kazakhstan
Mobile Throughout Q3 2014, Tele2 Kazakhstan continued to focus on strengthening its market position and on increasing quality of customer intake. Net intake amounted to 108,000 (–14,000) customers during the quarter, taking the total customer base to 3,092,000 (3,148,000). Mobile end-user service revenue grew by 7 percent compared to same quarter previous year despite devaluation of local currency and amounted to SEK 257 (240) million. The EBITDA contribution was SEK 22 (–34) million through improved operational scale and lower interconnect level. Mobile data traffic showed steady growth, increasing by 118 percent compared to the same period last year.
Tele2 Kazakhstan 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. New offers were introduced, such as "Internet for the whole year", as a response to strong pricing competition and to maintain the price leadership position. In July 2014, the company launched its brandnew mobile application allowing customers to get better control, in real-time, over costs.
Croatia
Mobile Even though the overall mobile market shrank in the quarter, with great value for money offers Tele2 had a good summer tourist season both in terms of visitor roaming and sales of tourist SIMs. Tele2 Croatia maintained its positive operational development and had a net intake of 33,000 (50,000) customers. Tele2 Croatia had a solid mobile end-user service revenue increase of 11 percent, amounting to SEK 220 (199) million, despite negative impact from reduced mobile termination rates and lower roaming prices. During Q3 2014, Tele2 Croatia continued to improve profitability with a strong EBITDA contribution of SEK 72 (48) million.
Lithuania
Mobile Despite strong competition, Tele2 Lithuania maintained a solid performance in Q3 2014 with mobile end-user services revenue growing to SEK 231 (221) million, an increase by 5 percent.
During the quarter, Tele2 Lithuania reached a solid EBITDA contribution of SEK 143 (109) million. The positive development was mainly driven by higher mobile data usage in combination with improved cost efficiency. As a result, Tele2 Lithuania's EBITDA margin increased to 38 (33) percent in the quarter helped by 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 continued to improve its mobile network and started to introduce LTE/4G services, to respond to the increasing customer demand for mobile data.
Latvia
Mobile Tele2 Latvia's mobile end-user service revenue was SEK 145 (139) million in the quarter, positively impacted by growing mobile data usage. 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, but also focused on quality of service and offer innovation. As a result the EBITDA contribution improved to SEK 83 (72) million, equivalent to an EBITDA margin of 35 (31) percent.
Tele2 Latvia will continue to strengthen its market position through focus on revenue growth, customer satisfaction and innovation.
During Q3 2014, Tele2 Latvia launched roaming data buckets for EU countries, making it more convenient for customers to use mobile data abroad. Also new data tariff plans for domestic use was introduced in the quarter.
Estonia
Mobile Tele2 Estonia showed a solid financial performance during Q3 2014 under difficult market conditions, with mobile end-user service revenue and EBITDA amounting to SEK 98 (102) million and SEK 35 (33) million respectively.
In Q3 2014, Tele2 Estonia introduced data centric bundled subscriptions with unlimited voice and sms, to stimulate further growth of data usage. Additionally, HD voice and Deezer music service was introduced to the end customer in the quarter.
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.
Austria
In the quarter, Tele2 Austria's net sales amounted to SEK 308 (313) million, stabilized by enhanced focus on driving growth in the business and residential segments. As a result of increased marketing activities and lower carrier pre-select (CPS) revenues, EBITDA amounted to SEK 62 (77) million. Tele2 Austria maintained a very high customer satisfaction level at 83 percent.
Fixed broadband Tele2 Austria continued to work on improving its brand and market positioning during the quarter through summer campaigns. EBITDA contribution improved compared to Q2 2014 and reached SEK 34 million.
Fixed telephony Successful retention and cross-selling activities through online continued throughout the quarter
Germany
In the quarter, Tele2 Germany continued its growth in the mobile segment with a strong net intake backed up by a solid performance in the fixed and broadband segments. Net sales increased by 9 percent to SEK 232 (213) million and EBITDA amounted to 35 (18) million in Q3 2014. The total customer base grew by 2 percent to 728,000 (712,000) customers despite the continued decline within the fixed voice and broadband segments.
Mobile The mobile segment continued to show a strong performance, adding 19,000 (21,000) new customers in the quarter, taking the total customer base to 233,000 (156,000). End user service revenue increased to SEK 115 (81) million in Q3 2014. The segment's positive development emphasizes the transformation to a fixed and mobile player by mitigating the customer decline from the fixed and broadband segments.
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.
Other Items
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.

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.
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 Q3 2014, the net sales in Lithuania was positively impacted by SEK 15 million as a result of expired prepaid balances.
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:
| Total mobile | –89,000 |
|---|---|
| Estonia | –3,000 |
| Latvia | –3,000 |
| Lithuania | –13,000 |
| Croatia | –1,000 |
| Kazakhstan | –4,000 |
| Netherlands | –8,000 |
| Sweden | –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 nine 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 September 30, 2014 amounted on the asset side to SEK 3 (8) million and on the liabilities side to SEK 249 (146) million.

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 unlikely and consequently only reported this obligation as contingent liabilities.
Tele2 Netherlands is, in the ordinary course of its business, involved in several regulatory complaints and disputes pending with the appropriate governmental authorities. In a specific case regarding the rental fees of copper lines, which Tele2 Netherlands uses as part of its fixed operations, the regulator (ACM) has determined that the rental fees are to be adjusted with retroactive effect from 2009. This has resulted in a claim from KPN amounting to EUR 8.7 million (SEK 80 million) and is subject to pending appeals and court cases. Our assessment is that it is unlikely that Tele2 will have to pay these fees and consequently no provision has been made. We estimate that the Administrative Court will give its ruling in Q1 2015.
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.
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 agreed to pay for their own litigation costs.
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.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM (LTI)
Additional information related to LTI programs are presented in Note 34 of the Annual Report 2013.

| Forfeited | –36,000 |
| Total outstanding share rights | 1,144,268 |
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.
In the event delivery of shares under the plan cannot be achieved at reasonable costs, with reasonable administrative efforts or due to market conditions, participants may instead be offered a cash-based settlement.
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 average 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:

| 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 2014 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% |
| Estimated fair value | 55.60 | 79.40 | 27.80 |
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.
