VEON Announces Intention to Delist from Euronext Amsterdam and to Initiate a Share Buyback Program for up to USD 100 million Amsterdam, 1 August 2024, 08.30 CET: VEON Ltd. (NASDAQ, Euronext Amsterdam: VEON), a global digital operator that provides converged connectivity and online services, ( VEON or the Company ), announces its intention to voluntarily delist from Euronext Amsterdam (the Delisting ). VEON is also pleased to inform its shareholders and the investment community that it intends to initiate a buyback program for up to USD 100 million with respect to its American Depositary Shares ( ADS ) following the Delisting.

The Delisting and the resulting sole listing on Nasdaq, a leading global index for technology companies, will simplify and streamline the Company's reporting requirements. VEON expects the Delisting process to take place in the fourth quarter of 2024, following and subject to the filing of its annual report on Form 20-F (the 20-F ). Further information about the process will be released following the filing of the 20-F, with a period of 30 to 40 days from the date of that announcement until the date of the Delisting.

VEON anticipates that the Delisting will be in the best interests of the Company as a whole, including both its current and potential investors; and would like to thank its Euronext Amsterdam investors for their support. The Company will endeavour to ensure a smooth transition for its shareholders during the Delisting process.

Following the completion of its transition to sole listing on Nasdaq, VEON intends to initiate a buyback program for up to USD 100 million of its ADSs. The Company believes that its ADSs have been trading at a price which does not adequately reflect their value in relation to the Companys current operations; and that the purchase of ADSs for other corporate purposes represents an opportunity.

The timing and specifics of the ADS buybacks will be determined by the Companys management and Board of Directors in due course, and will be subject to liquidity considerations, market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other factors.
