VEON management to increase share ownership

Amsterdam, 14 April 2023: VEON Ltd. (NASDAQ, Euronext Amsterdam: VEON), a global digital operator that provides converged connectivity and online services, announces an increase in management’s ownership of company shares. This follows the completion of management share awards as a part of the Group’s incentive programs that were announced in February 2022.

The share awards, detailed in the table below, were granted as part of VEON’s Deferred Share Plan, which was detailed in our press release dated 28 February 2022. The Deferred Share Grant, which represents 50% of the Short-Term Incentive (“STI”) scheme, relates to the period from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022 and is deferred into shares under the Deferred Share Grant rules. The shares will vest in American Depositary Shares (“ADS”) over a period of two years from 15 March 2023.

The Long-Term Incentive (“LTI”) 2023 share grant is awarded in relation to the three-year period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2025. The vesting of these shares is linked to the relative TSR performance to VEON’s peer group.

The LTI award represents a further step in aligning the executive team’s remuneration with the successful implementation of our digital operator strategy and long-term value creation for our shareholders.

With this share transfer, five members of VEON’s Group Executive Committee were granted a total of 154,876 shares within the scope of STI plans and 643,286 shares as a part of LTI plans.
