“On July 4, 2024, Purchaser delivered a letter to the Independent
Bid Committee, in which Purchaser sought the Company’s continued cooperation to launch (i) the consent solicitation process in connection
with the Company’s outstanding indebtedness and (ii) the refinancing of the Company’s existing revolving credit facility maturing
in October 2025, which Purchaser believes would benefit from the support of the institutions that are parties in the Initial Debt Financing
in order to “backstop” such indebtedness. Purchaser stressed that such cooperation would be in the best interests of Shareholders
as it would allow Millicom to continue to benefit from its existing low cost of indebtedness. Purchaser also reminded the Company of Purchaser’s
outstanding documentary requests in connection with the necessary regulatory filings referred to under “The Tender Offers — Legal
Matters; Required Regulatory Approvals.
On July 15, 2024, the Company
filed a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 in which the Independent Bid Committee made a negative recommendation

an Independent Bid Committee, existing entirely of directors independent from Purchaser and Parent. The Millicom Board, through the Independent
Bid Committee, has made a negative recommendation regarding the Offers and has stated it believes that the Offers, as outlined in this
Offer to Purchase, significantly undervalue the Company and are not in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders in a Solicitation/Recommendation
Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed with the SEC on July 15, 2024. A description of the reasons for the Independent Bid Committee’s
recommendation relating to the Offers is set forth in the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9. The Independent Bid
Committee also stated in the Schedule 14D-9 that it has engaged Nordea Bank Abp, filial i Sverige, Corporate Finance (“Nordea”)
to provide an opinion in accordance with the Swedish Takeover Rules as to whether the Offer Price of USD 24.00 per Common Share and per
SDR was fair, from a financial point of view, for Unaffiliated Shareholders. Nordea has stated in its opinion dated July 12, 2024 that
based upon and subject to the matters considered, the procedures followed, the assumptions made and various limitations of and qualifications
to the review undertaken set forth in its written opinion, the Offer Price was not fair, from a financial point of view, for Unaffiliated
Shareholders. All holders of Common Shares should carefully read the information set forth in the Schedule 14D-9, including the information

“The SEC has adopted Rule 13e-3
under the Exchange Act, which is applicable to certain “going private” transactions, including the purchase of Common Shares
pursuant to the US Offer in which Purchaser seeks to acquire the remaining Shares not held by the Purchaser. Because Purchaser is an affiliate
(as defined under US federal securities laws) of Millicom, the transactions contemplated by the US Offer constitute a “going private
transaction” under Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act (see “Special Factors — Appraisal Rights;
Rule 13e-3”).”
The first sentence of the
second paragraph of Section of the Offer to Purchase titled “Special Factors—Section 7. Appraisal Rights; Rule 13e-3”

Exhibit (a)(1)(G)
Press release
This announcement is not an offer, whether
directly or indirectly, in Australia, Belarus, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa or Russia or in any other
jurisdiction where such offer would be prohibited by applicable law pursuant to legislation, restrictions and regulations in the relevant
jurisdiction. Shareholders not resident in Sweden or the United States who wish to accept the Offers (as defined below) must make inquiries
concerning applicable legislation and possible tax consequences. Shareholders should refer to the offer restrictions included in the section
titled “Important notice” at the end of this announcement and in the Offer to Purchase, which was published on July 1,
2024. United States shareholders should refer to the section titled “Important Information” and “Special Notice to Shareholders
in the United States” at the end of this announcement.
Atlas responds
to recommendation of the Independent Committee of the Board of Directors of Millicom International Cellular S.A.
July 17, 2024, Luxembourg // Atlas Luxco
S.à r.l.1 (“Atlas” or the “Purchaser”), a subsidiary
of Atlas Investissement S.A.S.1, acknowledges the negative recommendation of the Independent Committee of the Board of Directors
of Millicom International Cellular S.A. (“Millicom” or the “Company”) issued on July 15, 2024, which was
expected given its prior communication on June 27, 2024. Atlas does not believe that the negative recommendation
contains any new meaningful argument compared to such prior communication. Atlas’ offer price remains USD 24.00 per common share
and USD 24.00 per Swedish Depository Receipt (each, an “SDR” and collectively, the “SDRs,” and together with the
common shares, the “Shares”) which deliver compelling value and a unique liquidity opportunity to the Company’s Shareholders.
Holders of common shares and SDRs will collectively be referred to herein as “Shareholders.”
Compelling value:
| ● | We believe that the premium should not be measured
against prices after May 22, 2024, when rumors about the separate but concurrent public offers in Sweden and the United States, (the
“Offers”) became public, and it is not market practice to do so. We note that equity research analysts speculated about
Atlas’ potential interest even before May 22, 2024. The price of the Offers of USD 24.00 per common share and USD 24.00 per
SDR (the “Offer Price”) represents an 18.8% premium compared to the volume weighted average trading price for the Shares
during the last 90 calendar days ended on May 22, 20242, a 27.1% per cent premium compared to the volume weighted average
trading price for the Shares during the last 180 calendar days ended on May 22, 20243 and a 37.8% premium compared to
the volume weighted average trading price for the Shares during the last 365 calendar days ended on May 22, 20244.5 |
| ● | Atlas communicated a detailed valuation assessment
of Millicom as part of its Offers, reflecting the most commonly used methodologies for Offers of this type (including a historical
trading analysis, a brokers’ target price analysis, a discounted cash flow analysis and a comparable trading and transactions multiples
analysis), while the Independent Committee’s press release only references two very specific and uncommon trading multiples. |

Atlas Luxco S.à r.l., a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée)
existing under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Luxembourg”), having its registered office at 53, boulevard
Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg with corporate registration number B274990 with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Registry (R.C.S.
Luxembourg), is a subsidiary of Atlas Investissement S.A.S., a simplified joint-stock company (société par actions
simplifiée), having its registered office at 16 Rue de la Ville-l’Évêque, FR-75008 Paris, France, with corporate
registration number 908 070 188 with the Paris Trade and Companies Registry (R.C.S Paris) (the “Parent”).
The Parent is a majority owned subsidiary of NJJ Holding S.A.S., a simplified joint-stock company (société par actions
simplifiée) domiciled in Paris, France, wholly owned by Xavier Niel (Atlas Luxco S.à r.l., Atlas Investissement S.A.S.,

The blended share price premium is calculated using the daily volume-weighted average share prices of the common shares on Nasdaq US and
the SDRs on Nasdaq Stockholm expressed in USD, with the SDR price converted from SEK to USD using the daily SEK/USD exchange rate.
| ● | Atlas advises Shareholders to exercise caution
when considering the relevance of new and uncertain projections prepared by the Independent Committee solely in the context
of responding to the Offers. |
A unique liquidity opportunity:
| ● | The Offers allow all Millicom Shareholders to
benefit from full cash liquidity at an attractive price in an environment where Atlas believes that liquidity has been weak for Shareholders. |
Atlas continues to be convinced that the Offer
Price is attractive for all investors seeking immediate liquidity and strongly encourages Shareholders to make their own independent assessment
on whether to tender into the Offers.

Special notice to Shareholders in the United
States
US Holders, as defined in Rule 14d-1
of the Exchange Act (“US Holders”), of SDRs are advised that the SDRs are not registered under the US Securities Act of 1933,
as amended. The Offers are being made in the United States in accordance with US federal securities laws, including Regulation 14D and
Regulation 14E promulgated under the Exchange Act, subject to the exemptions provided by Rule 14d-1(d) (the “Tier II Exemptions”)
under the Exchange Act, and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Swedish law. Accordingly, the Offers are subject to disclosure
and other procedural requirements, including with respect to notice of extensions, withdrawal rights, settlement procedures and timing
of payments, that are different from those applicable under US domestic tender offer procedures and law, and certain rules applicable
to US tender offers made in the United States do not apply. Accordingly, US Holders of SDRs are advised of the risk that they may not
be afforded the same rights under US federal securities laws by participating in the Swedish Offer. US Holders are encouraged to consult
with their own advisors regarding the Offers.
As permitted under the Tier II Exemptions,
notices of extensions of the Offers and the settlement of the Offers are based on the applicable Swedish and Luxembourg law provisions
which differ from the extension and settlement procedures customary in the United States, particularly with regards to the time when notice
must be given and payment of the consideration is rendered, respectively. The Offers, which are subject to Swedish law and Luxembourg
law, are being made to Shareholders in accordance with the applicable United States securities laws, and the exemptions applicable thereunder,
in particular the Tier II Exemptions.
It may be difficult for US Holders or other
Shareholders participating in the Swedish Offer to enforce their rights and any claims they may have arising under the US federal or state
securities laws in connection with the Swedish Offer, since the Company and Atlas are located in countries other than the United States,
and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of countries other than the United States. US Holders may not be able
to sue the Company or Atlas or their respective officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. Further,
it may be difficult to compel the Company or Atlas and/or their respective affiliates to subject themselves to the jurisdiction or judgment
of a US court.
To the extent permissible under applicable
law and regulations, including Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, Atlas and its affiliates or brokers (acting as agents for Atlas
or its affiliates, as applicable) may from time to time after the date hereof directly or indirectly purchase or arrange to purchase SDRs
outside the United States, or any securities that are convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for such Shares, other than pursuant
to the Offers, during the period in which the Offers remain open for acceptance. These purchases may occur either in the open market at
prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. In addition, the financial advisors to Parent and/or the Atlas Financial
Advisor may also engage in ordinary course trading activities in securities of the Company, which may include purchases or arrangements
to purchase such securities as long as such purchases or arrangements are in compliance with the applicable law, including Rule 14e-5
under the Exchange Act. Any information about such purchases will be announced to US Holders through relevant electronic media if, and
to the extent, such announcement is required under applicable Swedish or US law, rules or regulations.
THE OFFERS HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED
BY THE SEC OR ANY US STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION, NOR HAS THE SEC OR ANY US STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE FAIRNESS OR MERITS
OF THE OFFERS OR UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PRESS RELEASE OR WHETHER THE CONTENT IN THIS PRESS
RELEASE IS CORRECT OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL AND A CRIMINAL OFFENSE IN THE UNITED STATES.
Exhibit (a)(1)(H)
This announcement is not an offer, whether
directly or indirectly, in Australia, Belarus, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa or Russia or in any other
jurisdiction where such offer would be prohibited by applicable law pursuant to legislation, restrictions and regulations in the relevant
jurisdiction. Shareholders not resident in Sweden or the United States who wish to accept the Offers (as defined below) must make inquiries
concerning applicable legislation and possible tax consequences. Shareholders should refer to the offer restrictions included in the
section titled “Important notice” at the end of this announcement and in the Offer to Purchase (as defined below) which has
been published on the website for the Offers (www.atlas-investissement.com/en/offers). United States shareholders should refer to the
section titled “Important Information” and “Special Notice to Shareholders in the United States” at the end of

Special
notice to Shareholders in the United States
US
Holders, as defined in Rule 14d-1 of the Exchange Act (“US Holders”), of SDRs are advised that the SDRs are not registered
under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Offers are being made in the United States in accordance with US federal securities
laws, including Regulation 14D and Regulation 14E promulgated under the Exchange Act, subject to the exemptions provided by Rule 14d-1(d)
(the “Tier II Exemptions”) under the Exchange Act, and otherwise in accordance with the requirements
of Swedish law. Accordingly, the Offers are subject to disclosure and other procedural requirements, including with respect to notice
of extensions, withdrawal rights, settlement procedures and timing of payments, that are different from those applicable under US domestic
tender offer procedures and law, and certain rules applicable to US tender offers made in the United States do not apply. Accordingly,
US Holders of SDRs are advised of the risk that they may not be afforded the same rights under US federal securities laws by participating
in the Swedish Offer. US Holders are encouraged to consult with their own advisors regarding the Offers.
As permitted under the Tier II Exemptions,
notices of extensions of the Offers and the settlement of the Offers are based on the applicable Swedish and Luxembourg law provisions
which differ from the extension and settlement procedures customary in the United States, particularly with regards to the time when
notice must be given and payment of the consideration is rendered, respectively. The Offers, which are subject to Swedish law and Luxembourg
law, are being made to holders of Common Shares and holders of SDRs in accordance with the applicable United States securities laws,
and the exemptions applicable thereunder, in particular the Tier II Exemptions.
It may be difficult for US Holders or other
Shareholders participating in the Swedish Offer to enforce their rights and any claims they may have arising under the US federal or
state securities laws in connection with the Swedish Offer, since the Company and Atlas are located in countries other than the United
States, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of countries other than the United States. US Holders may not
be able to sue the Company or Atlas or their respective officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws.
Further, it may be difficult to compel the Company or Atlas and/or their respective affiliates to subject themselves to the jurisdiction
or judgment of a US court.
To the extent permissible under applicable
law and regulations, including Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, Atlas and its affiliates or brokers (acting as agents for Atlas or
its affiliates, as applicable) may from time to time after the date hereof directly or indirectly purchase or arrange to purchase SDRs
outside the United States, or any securities that are convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for such Shares, other than pursuant
to the Offers, during the period in which the Offers remain open for acceptance. These purchases may occur either in the open market
at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. In addition, the financial advisors to Parent and/or the Atlas
Financial Advisor may also engage in ordinary course trading activities in securities of the Company, which may include purchases or
arrangements to purchase such securities as long as such purchases or arrangements are in compliance with the applicable law, including
Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act. Any information about such purchases will be announced to US Holders through relevant electronic media
if, and to the extent, such announcement is required under applicable Swedish or US law, rules or regulations.
THE OFFERS HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC OR
ANY US STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION, NOR HAS THE SEC OR ANY US STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE FAIRNESS OR MERITS OF THE OFFERS
OR UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PRESS RELEASE OR WHETHER THE CONTENT IN THIS PRESS RELEASE IS CORRECT
OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL AND A CRIMINAL OFFENSE IN THE UNITED STATES.

How long do I have to decide whether to tender into the Offers?
When will I be paid for my Common Shares or SDRs tendered into the Offers?
If I decide not to tender, how will the Offers affect my Common Shares or SDRs?
If you do not tender your Common Shares, you will continue to hold those Common Shares following
consummation of the Offers. However, if the conditions for completion of the Offers are satisfied and
the Offers are successful, to the extent legally permitted by applicable law, Atlas currently intends to
delist the Common Shares from Nasdaq Stock Market, to terminate registration of the Common
Shares under Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act and to suspend Millicom's reporting obligations
under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
If you do not tender your SDRs, you will continue to hold those SDRs following consummation of the
Offers. Pursuant to Article 15 of Luxembourg law of 19 May 2006 transposing Directive 2004/25/EC of
the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 on takeover bids (the "Luxembourg
Takeover Law"), if Atlas holds securities representing not less than ninety five (95) per cent of the
capital carrying voting rights and ninety five (95) per cent of the voting rights in Millicom following
the Offers, Atlas may request that the remaining Shareholders transfer their Shares to Atlas against
a fair price (a "Takeover Squeeze-Our).
Furthermore, pursuant to Article 16 of the Luxembourg Takeover Law, if following the Offers, Atlas
(together with any person acting in concert with Atlas) holds securities carrying more than 90 per
cent of the voting rights n Millicom, Shareholders may require that Atlas purchases the remaining
Shares at a fair price (a "Takeover Sell-Our). In connection with a Takeover Squeeze-Out or a
Takeover Sell-Out, Atlas intends to promote delisting of the SDRs in Millicom from Nasdaq Stockholm,
Large Cap.
