TeliaSonera reverses provision of approximately SEK 500 million
TeliaSonera AB has settled a dispute concerning a long-term lease contract
(Westferry Road) in London, originally intended as a co-location site for the
international carrier business.
In 2002, in connection with the large restructuring of the international carrier
business, a provision was recorded to cover the projected future costs of the
lease. The settlement results in the lease being rescinded (i.e. terminated) and
hence the related provision can be reversed. The reversal of this provision will
be reported as a non-recurring item and is estimated to affect TeliaSonera's
operating income positively by approximately SEK 500 million in the fourth
quarter 2006. The reversal of this provision will be taxable.
