Millicom (Tigo) announces new shareholder
remuneration policy
Luxembourg, January 14th, 2025
– Millicom International Cellular S.A.
("Millicom" or the “Company”), today announced that the Company’s
Board of Directors (the “Board”) has approved a new shareholder
remuneration policy under which it proposes to:
-
resume regular cash dividends;
-
sustain or grow cash dividends every year; and
-
maintain a prudent capital structure, with a long-term leverage
target range of 2.0-2.5x
With this policy, the Board aims to return
capital to shareholders from the cashflow generation of the Company
in a consistent and prudent manner that reflects the
capital-intensive and highly-regulated nature of the business, as
well as the Latin American region’s elevated political and
macroeconomic volatility.
Following the interim dividend of $1.00/share
paid on January 10, the Board intends to approve an additional
interim dividend, after Millicom publishes its Q4 2024 results, as
follows:
-
$0.75/share to be paid in April 2025
Furthermore, the Board intends to propose for
the approval of the Annual General Meeting of its shareholders to
be held in Luxembourg on May 21, 2025, a dividend of $3.00 per
share payable in four equal quarterly installments, as follows:
-
$0.75/share in July, 2025
-
$0.75/share in October, 2025
-
$0.75/share in January, 2026
-
$0.75/share in April, 2026
