TeliaSonera : Investigation of Danish telecom merger continues

We believe that this merger will create a strong and robust competitor across fixed and mobile markets in Denmark. Consumers and businesses will benefit from improved network connectivity, higher speeds and better performance in all areas of the country as well as a larger distribution network and more attractive and user-friendly services. We therefore remain confident that the merger will be approved during 2015.

We are committed to the Danish market and the merger is a necessary step to enable us to free up resources, increase investments and be active in the competition to the benefit of consumers and businesses. Continued investments in telecommunications infrastructure is a pre-requisite for keeping up with consumers' and businesses' demand as well as redeeming the potential for growth, competitiveness and innovation high on the political agenda in both Denmark and the EU.

We look forward to continuing our constructive dialogue with the European Commission during this new phase of the investigation.
