Jesper Theill Eriksen will as of today take over
as 
CEO in TDC Switzerland, TDC’s 100 pct. owned Swiss subsidiary, which 
is branded sunrise.
Henning Dyremose, TDC’s president and CEO and chairman of 
sunrise, 
says: “The Swiss telecommunications market is tough. sunrise has 
gained a strong position as a clear number two in this market, 
despite the lack of regulation that clearly benefits the incumbent 
Swisscom. I believe that Jesper Theill Eriksen is the right person 
to take on the challenges going forward.”
Jesper Theill Eriksen, 37, comes from a position as CEO of TDC’s 
fully owned subsidiary Bité, the mobile telecommunications company 
in Lithuania and Latvia. Since he was appointed as CEO of Bité in 
mid January 2004, Bité has nearly tripled its customer base from 
531,000 at year end 2003 to more than 1,4m at the end of third 
quarter 2005. Revenues and earnings have grown correspondingly. 
Jesper Theill Eriksen has also been the architect behind Bités 
establishment in Latvia and the company’s successful contest for a 
UMTS license in Latvia.
Jesper Theill Eriksen says: “sunrise has a strong management team 
and very committed employees. I look forward to contribute to the 
continued success of the company. I am convinced that sunrise has a 
significant potential to benefit from the business opportunities 
that will open up in the Swiss market in the years to come.”
The former CEO, Hans Peter Baumgartner, leaves the company by 
mutual 
agreement. It is TDC’s policy not to comment on such agreements.
