 of the risks associated with the markets where we operate, see “— The international economic environment, inflationary pressures, geopolitical developments and unexpected global events could cause our business to decline” and “ Risks Related to our Market — Investing in frontier markets, where our operations are located, is subject to greater risks than investing in more developed markets.” Our equipment and systems are subject to disruption and failure for various reasons. Our technological infrastructure and other property are vulnerable to damage or disruptions from numerous events. These include natural disasters, extreme weather and other environmental conditions, military conflicts, power outages, terrorist acts, riots, government shutdown orders, changes in government regulation, equipment or system failures or an inability to access or operate such equipment or systems, human error or intentional wrongdoings, such as breaches of our network, cyber -attacksor any other types of information technology security threats. For example, we may experience network or technology failures, or a leak or unauthorized processing of confidential customer data, if our technology assets are altered, damaged, destroyed or misused by employees, third parties or other users, either intentionally or due to human error, including as a result of the ongoing war in Ukraine, which could cause us to lose customers, limit our growth, violate our licenses or reduce the confidence of our customers in our ability to securely hold their personal data. In addition, as there is an increased threat of terrorism and military conflicts in the areas in which we operate in Ukraine, incidents on or near our premises, equipment or points of sale could result in causalities, property damage, business interruption, legal liability and damage to our brand or reputation. In addition, while we have managed thus far to repair most of our network assets that incurred damage in Ukrainian territory not under Russian occupation, as a result of the ongoing war in Ukraine there can be no assurance that our network will not sustain major damage or that such damage can be repaired in a timely manner as the war continues. In addition, with increased targeting of Ukraine’s electrical grid, we have faced challenges ensuring that our network assets have a power source. While we have taken measures to manage this risk, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient power sources in the future. See “ Risks Related to the War in Ukraine — We have experienced, and may continue to experience, disruptions to our business, financial conditions and results of operation as a result of the war, including due to increased operating costs and damage to network infrastructure and assets.” Interruptions of services due to disruption or failure of
