13. Information about currently pending law proceedings and arbitration
proceedings that have or may have a substantial effect on the Offeror’s
activities and financial status

In its normal course of business, the Offeror is involved in a number of legal
proceedings. These proceedings primarily involve claims arising out of
commercial law issues and matters relating to telecommunications regulations
and competition law. In particular, the Offeror is involved in numerous
proceedings related to interconnect fees, which affects future revenues. Except
for the proceedings described below, the Offeror or its subsidiaries are not
and have not been involved in any legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings
which management believes could have a material adverse effect on the Offeror’s
business, financial condition or results of operations.

Regulatory proceedings. During the second half of 2001, a number of operators
filed complaints against the Offeror with the Swedish Competition Authority and
the Authority initiated an investigation regarding the Offeror’s pricing of
ADSL services. The complaints suggest that the difference between the Offeror’s
wholesale prices and retail prices is too low to effectively enable competition
in the retail market. In December 2004, the Competition Authority sued the
Offeror at the Stockholm District Court claiming that the Offeror had abused
its dominant position. The Authority demands a fee of SEK 144 million. In
December 2011, the Stockholm District Court decided in accordance with the
Competition Authority’s demands. The Offeror’s position is that it has not
engaged in any prohibited pricing activities and has appealed the District
Court’s decision. Following the Competition Authority’s lawsuit, Tele2 has in
April 2005 and Spray Network in June 2006, respectively, claimed substantial
damages from the Offeror due to the alleged abuse of dominant market position.
The Offeror will vigorously contest Tele2’s and Spray Network’s claims. The
actions for damages have been stayed pending the case between the Offeror and
the Competition Authority.
