As a “foreign private issuer,” as defined by the SEC, Kyivstar Group Ltd. is permitted to follow home country corporate governance practices, instead of certain corporate governance practices required by Nasdaq for U.S. domestic issuers other than with respect to certain voting and committee requirements.
