Budapest April 17, 2007 Magyar Telekom (Reuters: NYSE: MTA.N, BÉT: MTEL.BU and Bloomberg: NYSE: MTA US, BÉT: MTELEKOM HB), the leading Hungarian telecommunications service provider, announces that the Hungarian Parliament has approved the Act on Ceasing the institution of golden shares, i.e. the preference rights related to the State owned shares.
According to the Hungarian Parliaments decision the General Meeting of Magyar Telekom is obliged to cease the preference rights that relate to the share owned by the Hungarian State by converting the golden share into ordinary shares. Magyar Telekoms Articles of Association are to be amended within 90 days after the Act comes into effect.
Magyar Telekom has one registered series B voting preference share with a nominal value of HUF 10,000 issued for the benefit of the Hungarian State. The ownership rights in connection with the preference share are exercised by the Minister of Economics and Transport. The preference share carries the same rights as the series A ordinary shares plus additional rights as determined by Magyar Telekoms current Articles of Association.
