OFFERING MEMORANDUM
NOT FOR GENERAL DISTRIBUTION
IN THE UNITED STATES CONFIDENTIAL
Millicom International Cellular S.A.
$500,000,000 5.125% Senior Notes due 2028
Millicom International Cellular S.A. (the "Issuer") is offering $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.125%
Senior Notes due 2028 (the "Notes").
The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually on each January 15 and July 15, commencing on January 15, 2018.
The Notes will mature on January 15, 2028.
The Issuer may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time prior to September 15, 2022 at a price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to the
redemption date and a "make whole" premium and at any time on or after September 15, 2022 at the redemption prices
set forth in this offering memorandum plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to the
redemption date. In addition, at any time on or prior to September 15, 2020, up to 40% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes may be redeemed with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings, including certain equity
offerings of our subsidiaries, or from the sale of certain specified assets at a redemption price equal to 105.125% of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to the redemption date if at
least 50% of the originally issued aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding. During any 12-month
period until September 15, 2022, up to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes may be redeemed on an
annual basis at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and
additional amounts, if any, to the redemption date. All of the Notes may also be redeemed at 100% of their principal
amount plus accrued interest to the redemption date upon the occurrence of certain changes in applicable tax law. Upon
the occurrence of certain change of control events and a ratings decline, each holder of the Notes may require the Issuer
to repurchase all or a portion of its Notes.
The Notes will be senior obligations of the Issuer and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Issuer's
existing and future indebtedness and senior in right of payment with all of the Issuer's existing and future subordinated
indebtedness.
Application has been made to list the Notes on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to admit the
Notes to trading on the Euro MTF Market. This offering memorandum constitutes a prospectus for purposes of Part IV of
the Luxembourg law on prospectus for securities dated July 10, 2005, as amended.
The net proceeds from the offering of the Notes are intended to be used (i) to finance the purchase of the Issuer's 6.625%
Notes due 2021 (the "Existing Notes"), tendered and accepted for purchase in accordance with the terms and conditions
of a tender offer launched by the Issuer on or about September 11, 2017 pursuant to a tender offer memorandum of the
same date (the "Tender Offer") that is expected to be settled on or about September 20, 2017, (ii) the voluntary
conditional redemption of all Existing Notes that remain outstanding on October 15, 2017, (iii) to fund capital
expenditures and (iv) for general corporate purposes.
Investing in the Notes involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risk factors beginning on page 22
of this offering memorandum before investing in the Notes.
Price: 100.000% plus accrued interest, if any, from the issue date.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. Unless they are registered, the Notes may be offered
and sold only in transactions that are exempt from registration under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any
other jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Notes are being offered and sold only to qualified institutional buyers in accordance
with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities
Act. For further details about eligible offerees and resale restrictions, see "Transfer Restrictions."
We expect that the Notes will be delivered to investors in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company,
Euroclear and Clearstream on or about September 20, 2017. Interests in each global note will be exchangeable for the
relevant definitive notes only in certain limited circumstances. See "Book-Entry, Delivery and Form."

Notice to European Economic Area investors
In relation to each member state of the EEA which has implemented the Prospectus Directive
(each, a "Relevant Member State"), each Initial Purchaser has represented and agreed that with
effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that
iv

Relevant Member State (the "Relevant Implementation Date"), it has not made and will not
make an offer of Notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated by this offering
memorandum to the public in that Relevant Member State other than:
(a) to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;
(b) to fewer than 100 or, if the Relevant Member State has implemented the relevant
provision of the 2010 PD Amending Directive, 150, natural or legal persons (other than
qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus
Directive, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the relevant Initial Purchaser or Initial
Purchasers nominated by the Issuer for any such offer; or
(c) in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive;
provided that no such offer of the Notes shall require the publication by the Issuer or any Initial
Purchaser of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a
prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospective Directive other than in reliance of
Article 3(2)(b).
For the purposes of this provision, the expression an "offer of Notes to the public" in relation to
any Notes in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any
means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to
enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Notes, as the same may be varied in
that Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that
Relevant Member State and the expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC
(and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent
implemented in the Relevant Member State) and includes any relevant implementing measure in
each Relevant Member State and the expression "2010 PD Amending Directive" means Directive
2010/73/EU.
Each subscriber for or purchaser of the Notes in the offering located within a member state of
the EEA will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that it is a "qualified
investor" within the meaning of Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive. The Issuer, the Initial
Purchasers and their affiliates, and others will rely upon the trust and accuracy of the foregoing
representation, acknowledgement and agreement. Notwithstanding the above, a person who is
not a qualified investor and who has notified the Initial Purchasers of such fact in writing may,
with the consent of the Initial Purchasers, be permitted to subscribe for or purchase the Notes in
the offering.
THIS OFFERING MEMORANDUM CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION WHICH YOU SHOULD
READ BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY DECISION WITH RESPECT TO AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES.
See "Risk Factors" for a description of certain factors relating to an investment in the Notes,
including information about our business. None of us, the Initial Purchasers or any of their
representatives is making any representation to you regarding the legality of an investment by
you under applicable legal investment or similar laws. You should consult with your own advisors
as to legal, tax, business, financial and related aspects of a purchase of the Notes.
v

Industry, market and customer data
Customer data
The customer data included in this offering memorandum, including penetration rates and ARPU,
are determined by management, are not financial measures or part of the Millicom Group's
financial statements and have not been audited or otherwise reviewed by an outside auditor,
consultant or expert. We define mobile ARPU for an indicated period as (x) the total recurring
mobile revenue (excluding revenue earned from tower rentals, call center and mobile telephone
equipment sales revenue) for the period, divided by (y) the average number of Revenue
Generating Units ("RGU") or active customer relationships (see "--Churn" below), as applicable,
for the period, divided by (z) the number of months in the period. We define Home ARPU for an
indicated period as (x) the total recurring Home revenue (excluding equipment sales) for the
period, divided by (y) the average number of RGUs or active customer relationships, as applicable,
for the period divided by (z) the number of months in the period.
Each customer of any of our non-mobile services is counted as one RGU for each service
subscribed. Thus, a customer who receives cable, broadband and fixed-line telephone services
from the Millicom Group (regardless of their number of telephone access lines) would be counted
as three RGUs.
Market and industry data
We operate in countries in which it is difficult to obtain precise market and industry information.
Other than for the calculation of market position, penetration rate, market share and churn, we
have generally obtained the market and industry data in this offering memorandum from
regulatory reports, reports from our competitors and industry analytical services, such as Oxford
Economics, TeleGeography's GlobalComms database, Dataxis, Informa's Ovum TMT Intelligence
and GSMA Intelligence, that we believe to be reliable.
However, none of the Issuer, the Initial Purchasers or any of their respective advisors can verify
the accuracy and completeness of such information and none of the Issuer, the Initial Purchasers
or any of their respective advisors has independently verified or audited such market and
position data. The Issuer does, however, accept responsibility for the correct reproduction of this
information and, as far as it is aware and is able to ascertain from information published, no
facts have been omitted that would render the reproduced information inaccurate or misleading.
In addition, in many cases the Issuer has made statements in this offering memorandum
regarding the Millicom Group's industry and position in the industry based on the Millicom
Group's experience and the Millicom Group's own investigation of market conditions. None of
the Issuer, the Initial Purchasers or any of their respective advisors can assure you that any of
these assumptions are accurate or correctly reflect its position in the industry, and none of the
Millicom Group's internal surveys or information have been verified by independent sources.
Market share and penetration rates
Mobile market share refers to a share of all mobile customers in a particular market, and our
mobile penetration rate refers to the portion of the population that are active mobile customers
within a specific market. Cable or broadband market share refers to our share of all cable or
broadband customers in a particular market, and our fixed penetration rate refers to the number
of households which subscribe to our fixed cable, broadband and/or fixed telephone services as a
percentage of the total number of homes passed by our cable infrastructure in a market. Market
share and penetration rate can be calculated using different methodologies. We calculate mobile
market share by using the traffic passing through our mobile network as a basis for determining
usage, by identifying the number of our customers making calls to other customers on our
networks (on-net calls) and the number of our competitors' customers calling or receiving calls
from our customers (cross-net calls). We calculate our mobile penetration rate by estimating the
total number of active customers (as described below) in the relevant market based on
vi

interconnect traffic on our network. As we do not have data for customers that make on-net calls
in our competitors' networks, we calculate the ratio of our `on-net only users' to our cross-net
traffic and then apply such ratios to our competitors based on cross-net calls made to or from
their networks and our network.
We adjust this methodology for inactive customers, which we define as any customer who has
not been active for 60 days, that may be reported by our competitors, and which may otherwise
inflate our competitors' market share calculations. Regulators and some of our competitors
define inactive customers differently, often applying a longer period to determine when a
customer has become an inactive customer (as discussed below under "--Churn").
We believe that, in view of the lack of official public figures on market share in our markets, our
process accurately determines our penetration rate, market share, the market share of our
competitors and the size of the entire market. Although we believe our market share and
penetration rate data is appropriate and accurately reflects the market, we cannot assure you
this is the case. Regulators, independent third parties and our competitors may calculate market
share and penetration rate figures differently than us and, as a result, they may report different
market shares and penetration rates for the Millicom Group and its competitors, and these
differences may be material.
Churn
Churn rates are calculated by dividing the number of customers whose service is disconnected
during a period, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (such as when a customer fails to pay a bill)
by the average number of customers during the period. We believe that we apply conservative
policies in calculating customer totals and related churn rates. For example, we count a customer
as an active "customer" only when the customer has made a revenue generating activity within a
60-day period. Our more conservative definitions may result in different churn rates than if we
used criteria or methodologies employed by other operators in calculating customer churn and
market share.
