Budapest December 13, 2010 Magyar Telekom (Reuters: MTEL.BU and Bloomberg: MTELEKOM HB), the leading Hungarian telecommunications service provider announces that the Board of Directors today declared, based on information currently available to it, that it now contemplates a proposal for payment of dividend to the Companys shareholders of HUF 50 per ordinary share (par value HUF 100) from the profit of 2010.
The proposed dividend level of HUF 50 per share is in line with Magyar Telekoms dividend policy of maintaining its net debt ratio (net debt to net debt plus total equity) within the targeted range of 30-40% and also reflects the impact of the special tax levied on the Hungarian telecommunications sector.

Magyar Telekom currently plans to hold its 2011 Annual General Meeting on April 12, 2011. Any dividend from the profit of 2010 will be payable subject to the resolution of, and following the 2011 Annual General Meeting.
