VEON Commences its Delisting from Euronext Amsterdam to Consolidate its Trading on Nasdaq in New York Amsterdam and Dubai, 21 October 2024, 19:00 CEST: VEON Ltd. (Nasdaq: VEON; Euronext Amsterdam: VEON), a global digital operator (“VEON” or the “Company”), today announces that it has commenced the process for the delisting of its common shares from trading on Euronext Amsterdam (the “Euronext Amsterdam Delisting”), following the approval of Euronext Amsterdam. The Company’s last day of trading on Euronext Amsterdam will be 22 November 2024 (the “Last Trading Date”) and the delisting will be effective from 25 November 2024. With this move, VEON will consolidate the trading of its shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), which will be the platform for the trading of VEON’s American depositary shares, each representing 25 Common Shares (the “ADSs”). Following the Last Trading Date, all public trading of equity securities in the Company will take place on Nasdaq under ticker symbol VEON. “Our decision to consolidate our trading on Nasdaq aligns with our long-term strategy and the best interests of our investors. This move will strengthen VEON’s liquidity and simplify our reporting processes,” said Kaan Terzioglu, VEON Group CEO. “VEON’s continued listing on Nasdaq, combined with our recently announced plan to relocate our headquarters, which will make us the largest Nasdaq-listed company headquartered in Dubai, underscores our strategic commitment to lead the way for investors seeking growth in frontier markets.” VEON is committed to ensuring a smooth and equitable transition for its Euronext Amsterdam shareholders. On or before the Last Trading Date, shareholders that do not hold a number of Common Shares corresponding to a multiple of 25 can sell or purchase Common Shares so that they hold a number of Common Shares that is a precise multiple of 25, allowing for the issue of the corresponding number of ADSs. The Company is also providing an opportunity for shareholders to deposit their Common Shares with the Company’s depositary, The Bank of New York Mellon, in exchange for delivery of ADSs. For those shareholders who deposit their Common Shares during the period from the day after the date of this announcement through the Last Trading Date, the Company will pay the ADS issuance fees. Existing holders of ADSs not also holding Common Shares on Euronext Amsterdam do not need to take any action in relation to the Euronext Amsterdam Delisting.
