Good morning or good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Faisal Ghori. It is my pleasure to welcome all of you to the 2024 annual general meeting of shareholders of VEON Limited. Thank you for joining us. I would remind you to pay due attention to our disclaimer, as published on our website, as per our notice of meeting circulated to shareholders on or around 25th of April, 2024. The purpose of this meeting is limited to seeking your approval for certain amendments to the company's Bye-laws, the ratification of PwC as the company's ISA auditor for 2023, and the appointment of the nominated directors to the VEON board. Today, the annual general meeting is hosted by our Group CEO, Kaan Terzioğlu. Let us now begin with an introduction. Over to you, Kaan. Thank you. Thank you, Faisal. Good morning, and good afternoon to all. It's my pleasure to welcome you all to the 2024 annual general meeting of shareholders of VEON Limited. May I kindly ask you to refer to the AGM section of our website for easy access to our annual corporate governance report for 2023, and other AGM-related materials, including some year-to-date updates. Turning to proposals for today's AGM, the company proposes to amend Bye-law number 3 to correct a legacy formatting error. The proposed amendment to Bye-law 31.1 will allow the board to convene electronic meetings of the shareholders, which will allow the board to respond to public health concerns and political sensitivities. We also seek your approval for the ratification of the appointment of PwC to perform the audit of our 2023 financial statements in accordance with ISA standards. Separately, I would like to note that earlier this week, we announced the appointment of UHY as our PCAOB auditor for 2023 consolidated financial statements to meet our Nasdaq listing requirements. Finally, we are proud to recommend six exceptional individuals and myself for appointment to the board, four of whom are currently serving on the VEON board, and three of whom are nominated for the first time. The nominees represent diverse range of expertise and perspectives, which we believe will assist us delivering on our strategic vision. We thank our outgoing chairman, Morten Lundal, Karen Linehan, and Yaroslav Glazunov, who have supported the company over the past several years as directors. Morten, Karen, Yaroslav, your contributions have been invaluable, and it has been a pleasure having you on our board. We have established that there are at least 2 shareholders present, either in person or by proxy, representing more than 50% of total issued voting shares of the company. We, therefore, have established a quorum, and I would like to run the formal process business of today's meeting with the agenda specified earlier. For the formal business of AGM, we would like to confirm that the shares represented in the meeting appoints company CEO, myself, Kaan Terzioğlu, to act as chairman of the meeting in accordance with our Bye-laws. Olayinka? Yes, as the proxy holder authorized to represent shares in the meeting, I confirm Kaan's appointment as chairman of the meeting. Thank you, Olayinka, for the confirmation. As allowed by Bye-laws, an invitation to join the meeting electronically by way of the company's Zoom video conferencing network has been sent to registered holders of shares, their duly authorized proxies, or their corporate representatives who have requested attendance at the meeting. During the course of this meeting, if you have any difficulties in accessing or using company's Zoom video conferencing network, please use the Raise Your Hand feature to be recognized by a member of our team. Once recognized, you will be directed to someone who can assist you. Alternatively, you may also send us an email at ir@veon.com, which will be continuously monitored so that we can promptly assist you in resolving the issues. We would like to welcome Gijs ter Braak, public notary of the law firm Simmons & Simmons, who will be supervising the counting of the votes, as well as representatives from Wakefield Quin, who serves as the company's registered secretary and legal advisors in Bermuda. The meeting agenda and procedural guidelines have been made available to all eligible shareholders ahead of this meeting. We would like to note that the use of visual audio recording equipment, other than the company's video conferencing network, Zoom, is not permitted at this meeting. Furthermore, if at any time the safety of those attending the meeting is compromised, by our Bye-laws, I am permitted to adjourn the meeting to a future date and time. As we have announced publicly, the delivery of the 2023 audited financial statements has been delayed due to ongoing external factors resulting from the substantial changes to the company's asset portfolio following the sale of our Russian operations. Therefore, at today's meeting, we will lay the company's unaudited financials for the year ended December 31, 2023, before our shareholders. Next, we will be asking shareholders to vote on the election of nominated individuals to serve as directors of the company, to hold office until the next annual general meeting. If you have already submitted a proxy, you do not need to vote here unless you wish to change your vote. Your proxies will vote in accordance with your proxy instructions. If you wish to vote at this meeting, please use the poll card distributed to you by email ahead of the meeting. Alternatively, if you would like another poll card, please use the Raise Your Hand feature to be recognized by a member of our team. You will be directed to someone who will ask you for your email address so that we can send you a poll card immediately. You may also send an email directly to ir@veon.com, to which we will promptly reply by sending you a poll card. I will wait any requests for poll cards for the next 10 seconds. Team is ready to act on your requests. Okay, turning to today's proposals. Proposal number 1: that a legacy formatting error in Bye-law Three of the company's Bye-laws, adopted on June 10, 2021, as amended by special resolution passed on June 29, 2023, be addressed. It is all about correcting a mistaken reference to Bye-law 3.1 to a correct reference to Bye-law Three. Proposal number two: that the Bye-law 31.1 of the company's Bye-laws, adopted on June 10, 2021, as amended by special resolution passed on June 29, 2023, be revised. The revision is, if so determined by resolution of the board in relation to a general meeting, such general meeting may be held by such electronic means that permit all persons participating in the meeting to communicate with each other simultaneously and instantaneously, and that electronic participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. Proposal number three concerns auditor appointment and ratification. The third item of our agenda is ratification of the appointment of PwC to audit VEON's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2023, according to ISA auditing standards, and the confirmation of the board's authority to agree auditor remuneration terms, both with PwC and with other audit firms, as may be required to ensure the company is fully compliant with its legal and regulatory obligations. Proposal number 4-10, proposals for director appointments. The fourth and final matter to be put to your election of the directors today is to serve on the board of directors who will be elected until the next annual general meeting of the company. As is set out in the notice of meeting, there are seven individuals seeking election as directors of the company, each of whom will be appointed by virtue of the cumulative voting system detailed in the notice of meeting. The seven nominees have each been vetted and recommended by the company's Remuneration and Governance Committee, and the board of directors are Michiel Soeting, Kaan Terzioğlu, Augie Fabela, Michael R. Pompeo, Sir Brandon Lewis, Andrei Gusev, and Duncan Perry. Each director nomination proposal will be voted on separately by cumulative voting, and summary biographies on all the nominees are included in the notice of the meeting, and instructions for cumulative voting are all set out in the notice of meeting, as well as on your poll card. In brief, you should multiply the number of voting shares that you hold by seven and distribute the total number of votes among one or more of the nominees. Before we formally consider the proposals to be voted upon today, we are opening the floor to questions received from duly appointed shareholder representatives who are entitled to vote at this meeting. We have circulated procedural guidelines ahead of the meeting, and in order to enable us to conduct an orderly meeting, we are limiting this session to questions submitted ahead of the meeting. Other questions may be submitted to the board separately for a response outside the forum of this meeting. Let us address the questions we received so far. Our investor relations team will, as always, be available to receive and answer further questions outside the forum of this meeting. Faisal, could you please present the questions to us? Thank you, Kaan. Don't believe we have any other questions. I shall give the floor back to you, Kaan, and you can oversee the collation of the votes. Thank you, Faisal. We shall turn now to the vote on proposals before this meeting. For proposals 4-10, relating to the election of directors, cumulative voting applies. Details of the cumulative voting procedure were included in the notice of meeting, but are also summarized on your poll cards. If you have not already submitted your vote by proxy ahead of the meeting, please now complete your poll card and email it us at ir@veon.com. If you have a completed poll card to submit, and have not yet done so, please now email it us at ir@veon.com. Is there anyone who has not yet cast his vote or her vote and wishes to do so? I will give a moment for everyone to reflect and raise your hands if you haven't. There appearing to be none, and thus, I declare the vote formally closed. Mr. ter Braak Braak, as the public notary supervising the voting at this year's annual general meeting, please collate and count the votes, and notify us when you are prepared to report the results. We will wait from Mr. ter Braak for his collation. Thank you. I am ready to report the results. Based upon the votes received by proxy and by poll card, I confirm the following: With respect to proposals 1, 2, and 3, all have been approved by the shareholders. With respect to proposals 4 to 10, each of the 7 nominated candidates has been elected as a director of the company in accordance with the Bye-laws of the company. Thank you, Mr. ter Braak. In view of the voting results, I can confirm that each of the following will hold office as a director of the company until the 2025 annual general meeting. Michiel Soeting, Kaan Terzioğlu, Augie Fabela, Michael R. Pompeo, Sir Brandon Lewis, Andrei Gusev, and Duncan Perry. I would like to warmly welcome our new board to VEON. We now have reached the end of the formal business meeting. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to summarize VEON group's performance in 2023, and provide some updates on our year-to-date performance as of April 30. The group's 2023 results demonstrate a robust operational performance, achieving on the backdrop of challenges, particularly for our colleagues and customers in Ukraine, outstanding results. Each of the digital operators performed very well, and our operating model, which empowers each local operation, continued to prove its value. Back in October 2023, we concluded the sale of our Russian operations and exited Russia. VEON today is a more compact group with higher growth and a healthier balance sheet, an exciting growth story. I would like to thank all our shareholders and creditors for their continued trust in our company as we went through these significant structural changes. Let me provide a recap 2023 for the first four months for 2024. In 2023, we achieved 18% year-over-year growth in normalized local currency terms on our top line and services revenues. Local currency, EBITDA, increased at a rate of 20% year-over-year, and indicates our sound execution of cost management programs. In the second half of 2023, we returned to reported currency growth. In the first four months of 2024, we see this trend accelerating, as I will discuss in the upcoming slides. In 2023, we generated solid free cash flow. With our strong top-line growth, effective cost management, and reduced interest expenses, equity free cash flow increased 53% year-on-year to $434 million. This results in a free cash flow yield, post-interest expenses of 24% for VEON. At the end of 2023, we had a cash position of $1.7 billion, out of which $1.3 billion was held at the headquarters level. In late March, we repaid the full outstanding balances of $805 million, principal excluding accrued interest, under the Revolving Credit Facility, and canceled the Revolving Credit Facility. After this repayment, our balance sheet remains robust, with a cash position of $632 million, of which $261 million stays at the headquarters. With these results and consistent delivery of our strategic activities, we met each of the commitments we made early in 2023. First, we completed our exit from Russia. Second, in Ukraine, VEON's Kyivstar continues to serve the country and provide the digital backbone of Ukraine's resilience. We have successfully executed our digital operator strategy, and we continue to see an exciting growth potential as our companies respond to the demand for digital healthcare, education, financial services, and entertainment services. We are increasingly becoming asset light. At the end of 2023, we announced the partial sale of our towers in Bangladesh. More recently, we reached an agreement for divestment of our stake in TNS Plus in Kazakhstan for our JV partners. In short, 2023 has been a year where we have created and preserved value for our customers, partners, and shareholders. Looking into our year-to-date revenue performance in 2024, today I am excited to highlight our reported currency growth continues to accelerate in the first four months. April year-to-date, we saw an 8.6% year-on-year revenue growth in U.S. dollars. This figure is particularly notable when considering the impact of Kyivstar's customer retention program post-cyberattack. If you would isolate this, the five operations grew 16.2% year-on-year in U.S. dollars and 20.3% in local currency terms. In the month of April, Kyivstar returned to year-on-year growth, having recovered its customer base and all activity levels on voice, data consumption, and digital services. We would like to thank our customers for their support and loyalty. Let me go a country-by-country view of our April to date performance. In our Central and South Asian markets, local currency service revenue growth for the year remained strong. Pakistan and Kazakhstan drive the group performance with 25.5% and 21.4% growth, respectively. Ukraine service revenues in local currency declined 9.3% as a result of our customer retention programs following the December cyberattack. Excluding this impact, service revenue grew 6.6% and came back to double-digit growth back again in April. Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan maintained double-digit growth trend, while Bangladesh saw a solid growth of 6.7% in and leading the competition. We serve nearly 160 million customers on our mobile and fixed networks, and in addition to that, almost 100 million total monthly active users on our digital services platforms as of April 2024. Our customers who use these services, in addition to our 4G connectivity, have at least three times average revenue per user, and they churn only half the rate of voice-only customers. These services help us serve customers beyond our connectivity base. In April, one of five of monthly active users of our services, of our digital customers, were not even our telecom customers at all. We see financial services, entertainment, healthcare, and education as key adjacent markets, where our products respond to a growing demand in our markets that are hungry for digital experiences. We are delighted to serve 30 million users in our digital entertainment products, 30 million in financial services products, and another 30 million in digital healthcare, and 40 million with our super apps. We are also happy to contribute to the growth of our markets by digitalization of the business landscape of our enterprise services offerings in big data, advertising technologies, cloud services, and more. With these solid foundations, we have provided a cautiously optimistic guidance to the market for continuation of high growth trends and further digital scale across our markets. Normalized for the impact of customer retention measures in Ukraine, our guidance for revenue growth is 16%-18% in local currency. Our guidance for EBITDA growth is 18%-20% in local currency, and our guidance for group capital expenditures intensity stands at between 18%-19%. We are effectively progressing and executing on all our goals, and excited about future. Let me take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all VEON employees for their hard work, which has allowed us to not only successfully navigate a challenging year, but also turn it into a growth story. As chairman of the 2024 Annual General Meeting of VEON Limited, I will now declare this meeting closed, and thank you very much for attending. All the best!
