ATHENS, Greece - June 22, 2006 - Hellenic Telecommunications Organization SA (ASE: HTO, NYSE: OTE), the Greek full-service telecommunications provider, today held its 54th Annual General Assembly of Shareholders, during which management reviewed its full-year results fiscal year 2005 and presented its strategic objectives for 2006.
Addressing shareholders, Panagis Vourloumis, OTE Chairman and CEO, stated:
- In 2005, OTE posted a consolidated net loss of eyro 216.8 million, while the loss at OTE S.A., the Group's parent company and operator of its Greek fixed-line operations, was euro 237.2 million. This performance is entirely due to the cost of the personnel Voluntary Retirement Plan we started implementing last year, an amount of euro 939.6 million, which under the newly introduced International Accounting Standards was charged to our 2005 financial statements. The actual cost of the Voluntary Retirement Plan, which will be incurred from 2006 through 2012, will have no impact on our results for these years.
At the EBITDA level, OTE S.A. posted a loss of euro 279.8 million in 2005, compared to profit euro 549.8 million in 2004, while Group EBITDA dropped to euro 1,131.4 million in 2005, from euro 1,681.7 million in the prior year. ΟΤΕ will not pay a dividend for 2005, as Greek Law precludes loss-making companies from doing so.

2005 was a year of considerable developments, chief among which were:
- The May 25, 2005, signing of a Collective Agreement with employee representatives (OME-OTE) abolishing tenure for employees hired after that date. This paved the way for the legislative changes (Law 3371/05) required to make OTE's Voluntary Retirement Plan possible. Out of a total of 5,200 employees qualifying for early retirement under the Plan, 4,859 or 93% of the total opted to leave the Company. Together with employees leaving after completing their years of service, a total of 5,400 people will h ave retired from OTE S.A. between October 2005 and the end of 2006. Implementation of the plan suffered a six-month delay due to the late signing of required Ministerial Decisions, but it is now on track and 2,132 people had retired under the Plan as of the end of May 2006. The impact of headcount reduction on our operating costs will begin to be felt in the second half of 2006. We are also hiring approximately 1,200 new employees, under common employment contracts, to secure the talent we will need in the future.
- Throughout 2005, we intensified the campaign to increase broadband penetration that we had launched in late 2004. As a result, the number of installed ADSL portals rose from about 17,000 in early 2004 to more than 400,000 in June 2006, and operating connections soared from 7,200 to near 300,000 over the same period. This was achieved through an aggressive sales policy, attractive tariffs, and round-the-clock hard work by our engineers and other employees. In addition to investment in materials and net work support, the effort includes substantial outlays in promotion. OTE's target is for the number of operating connections to surpass half a million by year end and double that by the end of 2007. Parallel efforts for providing broadband through Wifi-Wimax, or through our subsidiary Hellas Sat, are pursued in locations where conditions suit such solutions. Recently, OTE S.A. also made optical fiber connections available under deeply discounted tariffs in order to promote the use of broadband among students throughout the country.
- Finally, the Board of Directors of OTE approved a three-year business plan prepared with the active participation of all Departments. For the first time, the company will be able to work towards specific targets and to accurately measure productivity and personnel performance. The plan provides for a three-year capex budget of euro 945 million and for the completion of a number of projects aimed at transforming OTE, raising productivity, and reducing costs.

Major developments also took place in 2005 in other parts of the Group:
Cosmote assumed responsibility of all Group activities in mobile telephony following the transfer of Globul in Bulgaria and Cosmofon in FYROM, from OTE S.A., and the acquisition of a 70% stake in Cosmorom, subsequently renamed Cosmote Romania. As a result, Cosmote now ranks among the leading European mobile operators. OTE S.A. raised its participation in Cosmote from 58.77% to 64.37% in 2005 and to a two-thirds (67%) majority in 2006.
- RomTelecom continued its upward course in 2005, more than doubling profits from euro 82.3 million in 2004 to euro 178.4 million last year. Subject to market conditions, RomTelecom is planning an Initial Public Offering on the London and Bucharest Stock Exchanges in 2006, with OTE S.A. retaining its controlling interest.
- The other subsidiaries of the Group in Greece and abroad also made further progress in 2005 with the exception of Hellas-Sat, which, despite its substantially improved operations last year, continues to show losses.

OTE intends to continue buying out minorities in its subsidiaries and to exit from activities which are not core businesses or do not fit with its general strategy.

Particular attention to training was given in 2005 with the creation of the OTE Academy, which took over all Group training programs and is also engaging in general educational activities, utilizing the excellent installations of OTE.

In 2006 we will pursue our efforts to transform OTE into a modern company able to compete in liberalized, deregulated markets. A key priority is to upgrade the skills and motivation of all of our employees. We aim to establish an organization based on merit, to return OTE to a position of technological leadership, and to sweep away the remnants of our legacy as a state-owned agency.

Special attention will be paid to the reorganization of OTE Estate, in order to enable it to better exploit our considerable real estate holdings, and of OTE Globe, which is responsible for the international activities of the Group.

The National Telecommunications and Post Commission will continue to have a major influence on our strategy. Its new leadership justifies on our part a degree of guarded optimism, insofar as it has made possible the beginning of a meaningful dialogue between the Regulator and the leader of the telecommunications industry. The aim of this dialogue, on OTE's part, is to encourage the development of telecommunications in an environment of healthy competition, fostering new investments.

We are now almost mid-way through 2006 and we should briefly refer to two significant developments that took place in the first half of the year.
- Cosmote has reached an agreement to acquire control of Germanos S.A. which will give the Group a strong retail organization throughout southeast Europe. The agreement is subject to regulatory approval.
- We have launched an international tender for the sale of OTE's 90% interest in Armentel, a transaction which is currently in progress and could bring satisfactory results.

The performance of OTE S.A. in the first three months of 2006 was as per our Business Plan. Revenues were marginally better than projected, but costs continue to resist and their reduction remains a top priority.

Management will continue to pursue a constructive relationship with OME-OTE and its newly elected leadership, aimed at updating the General Regulation of Personnel. Our sole aspiration, as we enter this new phase of dialogue, is to promote the interests of all employees within a well-functioning, competitive OTE.

In 2005, OTE S.A. embarked on a very difficult task - to reduce permanent headcount by approximately one third and simultaneously carry through a transformation program and major investments. We have made considerable progress throughout the year, and in the first months of 2006. None of this could have been accomplished without the mobilization and efforts of all OTE employees, to whom we express our sincere appreciation."
