Effective from today, VEONs common shares are no longer listed or traded on Euronext Amsterdam, with all public trading of VEONs equity securities now concentrated on Nasdaq. This strategic move is aimed at enhancing trading liquidity and simplifying reporting requirements for the company.

The consolidation of our trading on Nasdaq marks a significant milestone in VEONs capital markets journey. As a US-listed company, VEON offers our investors a unique opportunity to participate in the growth of some of the world's most dynamic frontier markets. With our shares traded exclusively on Nasdaq, we will continue to focus on improving the accessibility of our growth story for our current and potential investors, said VEON Group CEO Kaan Terzioglu.

VEON has also previously announced the decision to move its Group headquarters to Dubai, in closer proximity to the Company's Central and South Asian markets and increasing the visibility of VEON for Gulf investors. When the move is completed, VEON will be the largest Nasdaq-listed company with a Group headquarters in Dubai.

VEONs common shares will continue to be traded on Nasdaq as American depositary shares (ADSs), each representing 25 common shares, under the ticker symbol VEON.

For VEON's Euronext Amsterdam shareholders who still hold Common Shares and wish to deposit their Common Shares with the Company's depositary, The Bank of New York Mellon, in exchange for delivery of ADSs, VEON will continue to pay the ADS issuance fees until 6 December 2024.
