and the

(each a 'Series' and, together, the 'Notes')

On 15 May 2018, TDC A/S (the 'Issuer') invited holders of each Series of the Notes to consent to waive

certain change of control put option rights contained in the terms and conditions (in respect of each Series,

the 'Conditions') of the relevant Series in connection with the acquisition by DK Telekommunikation ApS

of the outstanding shares of the Issuer (the 'Acquisition'), as proposed by the Issuer for approval by way of

an extraordinary resolution of the holders of each such Series (an 'Extraordinary Resolution'), and all as

further described in the consent solicitation memorandum dated 15 May 2018 (the 'Consent Solicitation

Memorandum', and each such invitation in respect of a Series, a 'Consent Solicitation'). Capitalised terms

used in this notice and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Consent

Solicitation Memorandum.

Preliminary Results as at the Early Instruction Deadline

The Early Instruction Deadline was 4.00 p.m. (London Time) on 28 May 2018. Based on Electronic Voting

Instructions received as at the Early Instruction Deadline, the Issuer expects that the relevant Meetings will

be quorate and that each Extraordinary Resolution will be approved. Noteholders of each Series of Notes

may continue to submit Electronic Voting Instructions up to the Expiration Deadline at 4.00 p.m. (London

time) on 1 June 2018 (subject to the right of the Issuer to extend, re-open and/or terminate the relevant

Consent Solicitation), but such Noteholders will not be eligible to receive the Early Participation Fee in

respect of those Consent Instructions.

The Issuer will pay the Early Participation Fee no later than the fifth Business Day following the applicable

Meeting at which the Extraordinary Resolution is passed for the relevant Series.

General

The Issuer may, at its option and in its sole discretion, extend, or waive any condition of, any Consent

Solicitation at any time and may amend or terminate such Consent Solicitation at any time (subject in each

case to applicable law and provided that no amendment may be made to the terms of the relevant

Extraordinary Resolution). Details of any such extension, waiver, amendment or termination will be

announced as promptly as practicable after the relevant decision is made. Save as expressly set out herein,

the terms of the Consent Solicitation will continue in full force and effect.

Once submitted, an Electronic Voting Instruction is irrevocable (save in certain limited circumstances as

provided in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum).
