Financial Material Disclosure
Forward-Looking Statements
This web site contains "forward-looking statements" as this
phrase is defined in Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not
historical facts and can often be identified by the use of terms
like "estimates," "projects," "anticipates," "expects," "intends,"
"believes," "will," "may," "should" or the negative of these terms.
All forward-looking statements, including discussions of strategy,
plans, objectives, goals and future events or performance, involve
risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include but are
not limited to statements made as to our future operations, costs,
capital expenditures and cash flow; our expansion plans and
projections; our ability to successfully challenge suits, including
lawsuits and tax disputes; future plans regarding our subscriber
base, new products and services and tariff structures; risks
associated with the telecommunications industry and operating in
Russia, the Commonwealth of Independent States and other emerging
markets; and other statements regarding matters that are not
historical facts. These forward-looking statements are based on our
current expectations. Known and unknown internal and external risks
and uncertainties may cause the actual results to be materially
different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements. The information contained in the most recent
Registration Statement and Form 20-F filed by VimpelCom with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including
information contained under the sections captioned "Operating and
Financial Review and Prospects" and "Risk Factors," as well as in
other VimpelCom filings and submissions with the SEC, identifies
important factors that could cause actual results to differ from
those contemplated by forward-looking statements. VimpelCom
undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to
reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date the
statements were made.

severable from these terms and shall not affect the validity and
enforceability of any remaining provisions.
Other
VimpelCom's failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance
of any provision of this agreement shall not be construed as a
waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course of conduct
between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any
