Telenor to complete the divestment of its interests in VEON
21/09/2017
Telenor currently owns approximately 346.7 million ADSs, which represents 19.7 per cent of VEON's total outstanding common shares, including the VEON ADSs that are underlying Telenor's USD 1 billion, 3-year exchangeable bond due 2019. Today's transaction represents approximately 5.1 per cent of VEON's total outstanding common shares. The price at which Telenor will sell the common shares and ADSs has not yet been determined. This transaction follows Telenor's earlier sell-downs of approximately 164 million VEON ADSs in September 2016 and 70 million VEON ADSs and common shares in April 2017, and represents the final divestment of Telenor's VEON ADSs, as Telenor expects to transfer the balance of its remaining ADSs pursuant to the exchangeable bond.
Telenor will not comment beyond today's announcement at this point in time. The pricing of the offering will be announced following the completion of the bookbuilding process.
Citigroup and Morgan Stanley will act as joint global coordinators and joint bookrunners for the offering.
The offering is being made pursuant to VEON's shelf registration statement on Form F-3 initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on 23 May 2014, as amended and most recently declared effective on 20 April 2016 (the Registration Statement ). The common shares and ADSs will be offered only by means of a prospectus and accompanying prospectus supplement forming a part of the effective Registration Statement. Prospective investors should read the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, the preliminary prospectus supplement and other documents that VEON has filed with the SEC for more information. The Registration Statement, the preliminary prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference therein are available at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Alternatively, a copy of the prospectus and related preliminary prospectus supplement may be obtained, when available, from Citigroup Global Markets Inc., c/o Broadridge Financial Solutions, 1155 Long Island Avenue, Edgewood, NY 11717, toll-free: (800) 831-9146; Morgan Stanley & Co.
