TeliaSonera to close the acquisition of Cygate

TeliaSonera has received the approval of the competition authority to close the
acquisition of 98.76 percent of the shares in Cygate AB, a leading supplier of
secure and managed IP network solutions as well as system integration in the
Nordic market. The acquisition underlines TeliaSonera's strategic direction to
strengthen its position within managed services.

The transaction, which was announced on November 16, 2006, is a strategic
acquisition providing TeliaSonera with broader competence within business
solution sales, technology and project management. Cygate provides solutions
within networking, security and IP telephony, and services within support,
maintenance and IT management. Cygate, which has a strong brand recognition in
the market, will operate as a separate business within TeliaSonera.
