Announcement Regarding a Ruling Received from Ukrainian Court

 

Our Company has been informed through its Ukrainian subsidiary that they have received an official ruling from a Ukrainian court on March 5, 2024, ordering the seizure of 19.8% of the corporate rights of lifecell LLC, and 100% of the corporate rights of Ukrtower LLC and Paycell LLC, within the criminal proceedings related to suspicions involving Mikhail Fridman.

 

We would like to emphasize that we believe that the aforementioned person has no control or influence over our Ukrainian subsidiaries. This ruling has not had any significant impact on the daily operations of these Ukrainian subsidiaries.

 

An appeal to the related court submitted on March 7, 2024 with an aim to cancel the seizures and our subsidiaries vigorously contest this decision.

 

Completion of conditions precedent, including this ruling being lifted, for closing regarding the sale of Ukrainian assets to NJJ Capital, announced on December 29, 2023 and January 30, 2024, are continuing.
