VEON's Kyivstar Expands Digital Healthcare Services in Ukraine with Tabletki.ua Acquisition Dubai, Kyiv and New York, February 10, 2026 - VEON Ltd. (Nasdaq: VEON) ( VEON ), a global digital operator, announces that today its subsidiary Kyivstar Group Ltd. ( Kyivstar ) (Nasdaq: KYIV; KYIVW) signed a definitive agreement and completed the transaction to acquire 100% of Tabletki.ua for USD 160 million, payable in Ukrainian hryvna in Ukraine. Tabletki.ua is one of Ukraine's most widely used digital platforms for finding, comparing and reserving medicines and other products available at Ukrainian pharmacies.

Tabletki.ua is trusted by millions of users every month and is Ukraine's preferred digital platform for accessing prescriptions as well as other medicinal and nutritional health products. The platform enables customers to quickly find, compare, and reserve prescribed and over-the-counter medicines and healthcare products available at pharmacies nationwide, ensuring availability, transparent pricing, and convenient access to essential healthcare products.

Tabletki.ua partners with more than 14,000 pharmacies across Ukraine and facilitated an average of 14 million reservations per month in 2025, reflecting its role as an everyday healthcare tool for Ukrainian families. Gross merchandise value (GMV) of bookings via the platform reached UAH 45 billion (USD 1.06 billion) in FY2024 and UAH 57.3 billion (USD 1.19 billion) for the last twelve months ending September 30, 2025.

The acquisition strengthens Kyivstar's growing healthcare ecosystem, complementing its earlier acquisition of the digital healthcare platform Helsi in 2022. Tabletki.ua will become part of Kyivstar's expanding portfolio of digital services, which also includes ride-hailing and delivery platform Uklon, Kyivstar TV, and the MyKyivstar super-app.

Ukrainian businesses like Tabletki.ua are enabling millions of Ukrainians to benefit from convenient, digital-first solutions, supporting the growth and resilience of the country, said Oleksander Komarov, President of Kyivstar. Tabletki.ua already plays an essential role in everyday life for millions of Ukrainians. By combining Kyivstar's experience in building and scaling digital platforms with Tabletki.ua's strong market position, we will make healthcare services even more accessible and convenient across Ukraine.

This acquisition strengthens our commitment to Ukraine by expanding access to digital healthcare solutions that improve everyday life, said Kaan Terzioglu, VEON Group CEO and Executive Chairman of Kyivstar. Together, Kyivstar and Tabletki.ua will accelerate the development of innovative, customer-focused healthcare services.

Based on unaudited management accounts, Tabletki.ua generated LTM EBITDA of USD 24 million and LTM net profit of USD 20 million as of September 30, 2025. The agreed consideration of USD 160 million corresponds to a price to LTM earnings ratio of 8.0X.
