Today, TDC A/S announces that it has, through its subsidiary TDC Nordic AB,
entered into an agreement to divest TDC Sverige AB to Tele2 Sverige AB for a
cash consideration of SEK 2.9bn (approximately DKK 2.3bn) on a cash and debt
free basis representing a 2015 EV/EBITDA multiple of 7.2x and EV/(EBITDA-CAPEX)
multiple of 23x.


The disposal of TDC Sverige AB completes TDC’s strategic review of the company,
which was announced on 27 January 2016 in connection with TDC’s Capital Markets
Day, cf. stock exchange announcement no. 4 of 27 January 2016.


The review has concluded that Tele2 Sverige AB is a better long term owner of
TDC Sverige AB and the price obtained is higher than the value of continued TDC
ownership. In the future, TDC will focus on its activities in Denmark and
Norway, and will continue to support its Danish and Norwegian B2B and Wholesale
customers with presence in Sweden through partnerships.


The divestment is subject to merger control approval from the EU-Commission.
Closing of the transaction is expected in Q4 2016 from which point of time Erik
Heilborn, CEO of TDC Sverige AB and Senior Executive Vice President of Sweden,
will resign from TDC’s Executive Committee.


The divestment is estimated to result in a gain of approximately DKK 0.8bn
after tax, which will be recognised as special items related to discontinued
operations, when the transaction has been closed.


Following signing of the divestment agreement, TDC Sverige AB is classified as
'Discontinued operations' in TDC's consolidated financial statements effective
from Q2 2016. Comparative figures in the income statements and cash flow
statements will be restated accordingly.


Part of the sales proceeds will be applied towards debt reduction in order to
maintain an unchanged leverage ratio post the divestiture. The remaining
proceeds may be used to strengthen our activities in Denmark or Norway or for a
further reduction of debt.



The divestment changes TDC's guidance for 2016 for EBITDA and EFCF, whereas the
guidance for DPS is unchanged.


TDC's previous guidance for 2016, which was published on 27 January 2016 in
connection with TDC’s Capital Markets Day, cf. stock exchange announcement no.
2 of 27 January 2016, and confirmed in TDC's Financial Statements for 2015
published on 5 February 2016 and in TDC’s Interim Financial Report for Q1 2016
published on 4 May 2016, was based on full consolidation of TDC Sverige AB. The
updated guidance for 2016 for TDC takes into account the divestment of TDC
Sverige AB.
