Magyar Telekom acquires majority stake in T-Systems Hungary

Budapest – January 2, 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 the acquisition of an additional 2% stake in T-Systems Hungary and a strengthening of the strategic cooperation with T-Systems Enterprise Services.

At the end of 2006, T-Systems Hungary, the joint venture owned by T-Systems Enterprise Services and Magyar Telekom, sold production activities unrelated to Hungarian third party customers to a 100% Deutsche Telekom owned company. This streamlined the activity of the company, keeping the system integration profile targeting major Hungarian enterprises and the public sector. On January 1, 2007, Magyar Telekom acquired an additional 2% of T-Systems Hungary for HUF 60m, increasing its stake to 51%. The intention of both Parties is to further increase Magyar Telekom’s share in T-Systems Hungary to 100% by the end of Q2 2007.

Similarly to the existing T-Com and T-Mobile agreements, at the end of 2006, Magyar Telekom and T-Systems Enterprise Services concluded a strategic cooperation and license agreement providing Magyar Telekom with exclusive rights to use the brand name T-Systems in Hungary. This strengthened cooperation will provide synergy opportunities to Magyar Telekom Group, the harmonized market approach will further improve customer relations and capitalize on the opportunities of the IT market.
