Corporate History

The origins of Millicom International Cellular S.A. can be traced back to the early days of the cellular industry. In 1979, Industriforvaltnings AB Kinnevik, acquired a small mobile telephone company in Sweden which developed into Comviq GSM. Also in 1979, Millicom Incorporated (“Millicom”) was formed to pursue cellular telephone opportunities in America and in 1982, was awarded by the US Federal Communications Commission one of the three cellular development licenses. In 1982, Millicom founded with Racal Electronics PLC, a joint venture which evolved into Vodafone Group PLC. From early 1983, Kinnevik and Millicom began applying for cellular licenses internationally.

Millicom International Cellular S.A. (“MIC”, “the group”) was formed on December 14, 10090 when Industriforvaltnings AB Kinnevik and Millicom contributed their respective interests in international cellular joint ventures to form the group.

MIC was incorporated under Luxembourg law on June 16, 1992.

During 1993, MIC entered into discussions with Millicom, formerly the owner of approximately 49% of MIC, rgarding the acquisition of Millicom in order to obtain a NASDAQ listing and providing Millicom shareholders with direct ownership in MIC, then Millicom’s principal asset. On December 30, 1993 a resolution was placed before the share holders of Millicom proposing an acquisitive merger with MIC. The resolution was overwhelmingly endorsed and MIC officially began trading on NASDAQ on December 31, 1993. As a consequence of the merger MIC acquired all Millicom’s interest in 3C (UK), a UK based pay telephone operation. The remaining businesses of Millicom, including its successful satellite TV operations, the broadband license for Britain & Innova Inc., a computer networking company, were contributed to anew company, American Satellite Network Inc.

Mikael Grahne was elected President and CEO of MIC in March 2009. He joined Millicom in February 2002 as COO having previously been President of Seagram Latin America.

Saakashvili, a critic of corruption in Ukraine, was deported to Poland in February. He said he was "kidnapped" by Ukrainian authorities and removed from the country against his will.

PayPal wants report from Sri Lanka: Sampath, three other banks to introduce service

Though the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) was first to introduce PayPal to Sri Lanka through the Sampath Bank, it is revealed that three other banks too have been now earmarked by the CBSL. A senior official from the CBSL told AdaderanaBiz, “We were to first introduce PayPal through the Sampath Bank. However, we now plan to introduce this service to the country through four banks. We also plan to gradually involve the rest of the banks in the country.” While the CBSL is discussing with the PayPal branch in India to introduce the service to Sri Lanka, PayPal’s Indian arm has reportedly requested a report on Sri Lanka’s exports. The senior CBSL official told AdaderanaBiz that they would be submitting such a report and hence the introduction of PayPal to Sri Lanka would face a slight delay. Though cash cannot be remitted to Sri Lanka through the world renowned PayPal money transfer service sending money from Sri Lanka is possible even now.
