(NASDAQ: VEON, Euronext Amsterdam: VEON), a global digital operator that provides connectivity and online services (“VEON” or the “Company” or, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), today announces that it has published its Dutch Annual Report – 2022, including consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code (the “Consolidated Financial Statements). A copy of the Dutch Annual Report – 2022 can be found on the Reports and Results section of the Company’s website at https://www.veon.com/investors/reports-results/. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Accountants N.V.
