Description of Certain Relationships MagyarCom is the direct owner of the 617,478,081 Shares that are the subject of this Schedule 13G, as initially filed on February 13, 1998. Prior to July 2000, DT and Ameritech Corporation (which had been acquired by SBC Communications Inc.) each held a 50 percent interest in MagyarCom. In July 2000, Ameritech Corporation exercised an option to put its shares in MagyarCom to DT. As a result, MagyarCom is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of DT. MagyarCom, DT and the Hungarian Minister of Information and Telecommunications (the Minister), may be considered members of a group pursuant to Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act by virtue of certain arrangements, as described below. The Hungarian State holds a single Series B share of MATÁV through the Minister. Ownership of the Series B share gives the Hungarian State (through the Minister) certain special rights in the election of one member of each of the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Board and the right to require its consent for certain other decisions taken at the General Shareholders Meeting. The holder of the Series B share and other shareholders holding at least a simple majority of the shares generally must approve a transfer of shares that would result in a person or group of persons holding ten percent or more of the outstanding voting stock of MATÁV. The consent of the holder of the Series B share is also required to transfer shares if the transferee would acquire more than 49.9 percent of the outstanding voting stock of MATÁV. The Hungarian State, acting through various regulatory bodies under its supervision, also exercises regulatory control over MATÁVs telecommunications activities. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 under the Exchange Act, each of MagyarCom and DT disclaims beneficial ownership of the Series B share held through the Minister. The shareholders agreement, dated September 26, 1997, among MATÁV, MagyarCom and the Hungarian Minister of Transport, Telecommunications and Water Management (the Minister Shareholders Agreement), the shareholders agreement, dated October 21, 1997, among MATÁV, MagyarCom and the ÁPV (the ÁPV Shareholders Agreement), the concession agreement entered into between MagyarCom and the Hungarian Minister of Transport, Telecommunications and Water Management in 1993 and the concession contracts executed thereafter by MATÁV and that Minister that were discussed in the original Schedule 13G filing have all lapsed or been terminated.

The ÁPV reduced its holdings in MATÁV to less than five percent of the Shares in 1999 through an offering of the Shares and American Depositary Shares representing the Shares which was registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form F-3 (File No. 333-10362). The ÁPV subsequently disposed of its remaining holdings of Shares. As a result, the ÁPV should not be considered a member of a group with MagyarCom, DT and the Minister pursuant to Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. |
