 have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. In addition, covenants in certain of our debt agreements could restrict our liquidity and our ability to expand or finance our future operations. For a discussion of agreements under which we borrow funds and a description of how that has changed since December 31, 2024, see Note 14 — Investments, Debt and Derivativesto our audited combined financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. Aside from the risk of default, given our substantial amounts of indebtedness and the limits imposed by our debt obligations, our business could suffer significant negative consequences such as the need to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to the repayment of our debt, thereby reducing funds available for paying dividends, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, joint ventures and other purposes necessary for us to maintain our competitive position, flexibility and resiliency in the face of general adverse economic or industry conditions. Following the onset of the war in Ukraine, our ability to upstream cash has been materially impaired, due to increased volatility of the Ukrainian hryvnia and tightened currency controls within Ukraine, currently restricting cash upstreaming. In addition, the war in Ukraine and the developments since with respect to sanctions have limited access to the debt capital markets, which has impacted our ability to refinance our internal indebtedness. Risks Related to Regulatory and Legal Matters The telecommunications industry is a highly regulated industry and we are subject to an extensive variety of laws and operate in an uncertain judicial and regulatory environment, which may result in unanticipated outcomes that could harm our business. Our operations are subject to different and occasionally conflicting laws and regulations, which could result in market uncertainty and the lack of clear criteria. Regulatory compliance may be costly and involve a significant expenditure of resources, thus negatively affecting our financial condition. In addition, any significant changes in such laws or regulations or their interpretation, or the introduction of higher standards, additional obligations or more stringent laws or regulations, could result in significant additional costs, including fines and penalties, operational burdens and other difficulties associated with not complying in a timely manner, or at all, with new or existing legislation or the terms of any notices or warnings received from the telecommunications and other regulatory authorities. In addition, the application of the laws and regulations of any particular country is frequently unclear and may result in adverse rulings or audit findings by courts or government authorities resulting from a change in interpretation or inconsistent application of existing law. Our operations may also be subject to regulatory audits in relation to prior compliance
