Amsterdam (May 6, 2014) - VimpelCom Ltd. ( VimpelCom , Company or Group ) (NASDAQ: VIP) announced today that, due to the previously disclosed delay in the filing of its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, it received a notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC on May 2, 2014 that the Company no longer complies with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC ).
On May 1, 2014, the Company filed a notification of late filing with the SEC pursuant to Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As disclosed in the filed Form 12b-25, the Company was unable to file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013 prior to the filing deadline because the Company had not finalized its assessment of the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting due in part to issues arising out of the investigations by the SEC, the United States Department of Justice and the Dutch public prosecutor's office, and internal investigations.
Under the NASDAQ Listing Rules, the Company has 60 calendar days, or until July 1, 2014, to submit to NASDAQ a plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rules, and the Company intends to submit a plan within this period.
