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.
