TEL SHARE BUYBACK

Telenor and the Kingdom of Norway enter into agreement regarding share buyback.
Telenor has entered into an agreement with the Kingdom of Norway, as the largest shareholder in Telenor, regarding share buyback, which was authorised by the General Meeting on 8th May 2003.
The Kingdom of Norway is committed to participate in a buyback on a proportionate basis by way of cancelling a proportionate number of its shares at the subsequent General Meeting. The Kingdom of Norway’s ownership percentage in Telenor will thus remain unaffected.
The agreement states that upon a share buyback by Telenor, the subsequent General Meeting will be invited to approve cancellation of the buyback shares. The Kingdom of Norway is committed to vote in favour of such a cancellation.
The compensation for the Kingdom of Norway’s shares to be cancelled will be determined by the average price paid in the market under the buyback, plus an interest based on NIBOR+0,5 percent p.a., calculated from the dates of purchases under the buyback until payment to the Kingdom of Norway at the time of cancellation. The agreement expires at the date of the General Meeting, planned for 6th May this year.
All buyback transactions under the authorisation will be disclosed at Oslo Stock Exchange and on www.telenor.com.
