VEON appoints UHY LLP as auditors for VEON Group’s 2023 PCAOB Audit and shares compliance plan with Nasdaq


Amsterdam, 29 May 2024 – VEON Ltd. (NASDAQ: VEON, Euronext Amsterdam: VEON), a global digital operator that provides converged connectivity and online services, (“VEON” or the “Company” or, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), announces that it has appointed UHY LLP (UHY) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the audit of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 in accordance with the standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB Audit”).  

As previously announced, VEON experienced a delay in filing its 2023 annual report on Form 20-F (the “2023 20-F”) due to the challenges it faced in connection with the timely appointment of an independent auditor that meets the requirements for a PCAOB audit following VEON’s exit from Russia. In its press release dated May 22, 2024, the Company also announced that it received a non-compliance notice from Nasdaq as a result of the delay in filing its 2023 20-F.

With the appointment of UHY as its PCAOB Auditor, the Company cleared a significant hurdle in completing and submitting its 2023 20-F filing. VEON has now submitted its plan to regain compliance with listing rules to Nasdaq as requested in the aforementioned notice, and aims to be fully compliant in the fourth quarter of 2024, subject to Nasdaq’s acceptance of the Company’s compliance plan.

“We look forward to working with UHY as our auditor for the PCAOB Audit. This engagement is further proof of our commitment to fulfilling the requirements of our public listings and upholding the highest governance standards despite the challenges we faced. We will continue to maintain our transparent communication with the investor community and work diligently with our auditors to fulfill all reporting requirements of our listings.” said Kaan Terzioglu, VEON Group CEO.
