Green Bond Fact Sheet

Millicom issued a SEK2bn (USD210m) senior unsecured green bond on May 15, 2019, maturing in May 2024. The funds are allocated toward energy efficiency in data centres and networks, spectrum acquisition for underserved communities, and ICT skills training. The Climate Bonds Initiative views this as a positive diversification of the Swedish green bond market.

• Millicom issued a senior unsecured green bond on 15-05-2019 with a total amount of SEK2bn (approximately USD210m) and a maturity date of 16-05-2024.
• The proceeds of the bond are designated for three primary areas: energy efficiency (covering data centres, network modernization, and building design/upgrades), the acquisition and renewal of spectrum licenses to reach unconnected and underserved communities, and social programmes aimed at upgrading ICT skills.
• Millicom will provide reporting to investors via an annual letter that includes an impact report and an allocation report listing the eligible projects and assets financed by the sustainability bonds.
• The Climate Bonds Initiative notes that this issuance contributes to the diversification of Swedish issuance, which has previously been dominated by the property sector and public sector entities.
