VEON Approves Launch of the Initial USD 30 Million Phase of its Share Buyback Program Dubai and Amsterdam, 9 December 2024: VEON Ltd. (Nasdaq: VEON), a global digital operator ( VEON or the Company ), announces that its Board of Directors has approved the commencement of the first phase of its previously announced share buyback program with respect to the Company's American Depositary Shares ( ADS ). This first phase of the buyback will be in the amount of up to USD 30 million.

This USD 30 million first phase is part of VEON's larger plan to execute a share buyback program of up to USD 100 million. The buybacks will be conducted on the open market pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan signed with a registered broker-dealer, and in compliance with Rule 10b-18.

As stated in VEON's announcement on 1 August 2024, the Company believes that its ADSs are undervalued relative to its operational performance and strategic potential. By repurchasing ADSs, VEON aims to optimize shareholder value and strengthen its financial position for future opportunities.

Kaan Terzioglu, CEO of VEON Group, commented: Our decision to initiate this share buyback program reflects the confidence we have in VEON's growth trajectory and the value it delivers to shareholders. This program underscores our commitment to delivering long-term value while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation.

As noted in the Company's 1 August 2024 announcement, the decisions on the timing and the specifics of the buybacks are subject to liquidity considerations, market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. Such factors have been taken into account in the approval process of the first USD 30 million phase of the program; and subsequent phases are expected to be carried out in the same manner, up to the authorized USD 100 million amount.
