VEON Shareholders Approve New Board, Morten Lundal Elected New Chair Amsterdam, 30 June 2023, 07.00 CET: VEON Ltd. (NASDAQ: VEON, Euronext Amsterdam: VEON), a global digital operator that provides converged connectivity and online services, today announces its new Board of Directors (Board) following the Company's Annual General Meeting (AGM) that was held on 29 June 2023.
VEON shareholders approved the Board-recommended slate of seven directors, including six directors currently serving on the Board - Augie Fabela, Yaroslav Glazunov, Andrei Gusev, Karen Linehan, Morten Lundal and Michiel Soeting - and Kaan Terzio lu, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the VEON Group. The Board elected Morten Lundal as the Chair in its first meeting following the AGM.
Mr. Morten Lundal has been a director of VEON Ltd. since June 2022. He has over 20 years experience as an executive in the telecoms sector with extensive experience in emerging markets, having held key positions at Telenor Group in Oslo and Vodafone Group in London as well as CEO of Maxis Bhd and Digi.Com Bhd in Malaysia.
VEON Board and Management would like to thank Gunnar Holt for his exceptional service to VEON as a director since 2015 and as the Chair since July 2022, and to the outgoing board directors Hans-Holger Albrecht, Stan Miller, Vasily Sidorov and Irene Shvakman for their contribution and service to the Company.
I am honoured to take the mantle from my predecessor Gunnar Holt as Chair of the VEON Board, says Morten Lundal. VEON is a very exciting company operating in some of the world's most vibrant markets with a distinct value generation model. With a leaner and more agile structure, our new Board looks forward to working with VEON management and teams, generating value for all our stakeholders.
We welcome the new Board as VEON powers ahead with its Digital Operator strategy, states Kaan Terzioglu, CEO and Executive Director of the VEON Group. The AGM has demonstrated the support of our shareholders to VEON's strategy, which has proven its success over the past few years despite macro challenges, carrying the Group's topline growth to nearly 20% in local currency. Our Board and Management will work together to accelerate our performance and deliver the full value creation potential that our growth model entails.
Holders of approximately 98.5% of the VEON Group shares were represented at the Annual General Meeting. Shareholders also approved the recommended changes to the Company's Bye-laws reducing the Board size and providing the Board greater flexibility regarding the structure of its Committees.
