                     ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

New York and Stockholm - Tele2 AB, ("Tele2"), (Nasdaq Stock Market: TLTOA and
TLTOB and Stockholmsborsen: TEL2A and TEL2B), the leading alternative
pan-European telecommunications company, today announced that the company's
Annual General Meeting (AGM) of shareholders held today in Stockholm re-elected
Marc Beuls, Vigo Carlund, Bruce Grant, Sven Hagstromer and Hakan Ledin as Board
members. John Shakeshaft and Cristina Stenbeck were elected as new members of
the Board of Directors. Mikael Winkvist was elected as deputy auditor.

The AGM approved the proposal from the Board of Directors not to distribute a
dividend to shareholders for 2002.

The AGM resolved to approve the existing procedure for the nomination of Board
Directors. A Chairman of the group of major shareholders responsible for
nominating Board members will be announced before the year end.

At a statutory Board meeting following the AGM, Sven Hagstromer was elected as
Chairman of the Board of Directors. Sven Hagstromer has served as a
Non-Executive Director of Tele2 since 1997 and is Chairman of Investment AB
Oresund, AB Custos and Acando, as well as a member of the Boards of LGP Telecom

of Quintain Estates and Development plc and an external member of the University
of Cambridge audit committee. Cristina Stenbeck is Vice Chairman of the Board of
Directors of Metro International and a member of the Board of Directors of
Modern Times Group.

Authorisation was given for the Board of Directors to, on one or several
occasions during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, issue
subordinated debentures with no more than 217,300 detachable warrants, in order
to enable stock options to be granted under the incentive programme adopted at
the Annual General Meeting held on 16 May 2002. The right to subscribe for
debentures shall, disregarding the shareholders' preferential rights, be given
to wholly owned subsidiaries in the group.
