YOU ARE ALSO NOTIFIED that Lead Plaintiff, on behalf of himself and the Settlement Class, and Defendant VEON, Ltd. (formerly known as VimpelCom) have reached a proposed settlement of the Action for $19,970,000 in cash (the “Settlement”), which, if approved, will resolve all claims in the Action.

A hearing will be held on May 19, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., before Judge Andrew L. Carter Jr., either in-person at the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse, 40 Foley Square, Courtroom 444, New York, NY 10007, or by telephone or videoconference, to determine whether: (i) the proposed Settlement should be approved as fair, reasonable, and adequate; (ii) solely for purposes of the proposed Settlement, the Action should be certified as a class action on behalf of the Settlement Class, Lead Plaintiff should be certified as class representative for the Settlement Class, and Lead Counsel should be appointed as class counsel for the Settlement Class; (iii) the Action should be dismissed with prejudice against VEON and whether the releases specified and described in the Stipulation of Settlement, dated as of December 23, 2025 (and in the Long Notice) should be granted; (iv) the proposed Plan of Allocation should be approved as fair and reasonable; and (v)  Lead Counsel’s motion for an award of attorneys’ fees and Litigation Expenses should be approved.

If you are a member of the Settlement Class, your rights will be affected by the pending Action and the Settlement, and you might be entitled to a payment from the Settlement. If you have not yet received the Long Notice and the Proof of Claim and Release Form (“Claim Form”), you may get copies of them by contacting the Claims Administrator at VEON Ltd.

If you are a member of the Settlement Class and wish to exclude yourself from the Settlement Class, you must submit a request for exclusion that is received no later than April 28, 2026, in accordance with the instructions in the Long Notice.
