On 18 July 2025, Telia Company AB (“Telia”) announced a public offer (the “Offer”) to the shareholders of Bredband2 i Skandinavien AB (“Bredband2”). Telia’s completion of the Offer is conditional upon, inter alia, the receipt of all necessary regulatory, governmental or similar clearances, approvals, decisions and other actions from authorities or similar, including from competition authorities, in each case on terms which, in Telia’s opinion, are acceptable as well as it being accepted to such extent that Telia becomes the owner of more than 90 per cent of the total number of shares in Bredband2. Telia has reserved the right to waive, in whole or in part, all conditions for the completion of the Offer, including to complete the Offer at a lower acceptance level.
