## Exhibit 99.1

![](veonpressreleaseadrratio001.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;VEON announces ratio change under its American Depositary Receipt ("ADR") program Amsterdam, Netherlands, 6 February 2023 07:00 CET: VEON Ltd. (NASDAQ, Euronext Amsterdam: VEON) ("VEON" or the "Company"), a global digital operator that provides converged connectivity and online services, announced today that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has approved a change of ratio in the Company's ADR program, comprising a change in the ratio of American Depositary Shares (the "ADSs") to VEON common shares (the "Shares") from one (1) ADS representing one (1) Share, to one (1) ADS representing twenty-five (25) Shares (the "Ratio Change"). The effective date of the Ratio Change (the "Effective Date") is expected to be 6 March 2023. Pursuant to the Ratio Change, as of the Effective Date, record holders who directly hold ADRs will be required to exchange their existing ADRs for new ADRs on the basis of one (1) new ADR for every twenty-five (25) existing ADRs surrendered. The Depositary will contact ADR holders and arrange for the exchange of their existing ADRs for new ADRs. ADS beneficial holders who hold through an ADR holder intermediary need not take any action in connection with the Ratio Change. For ADS holders, the Ratio Change will have the same effect as a one for twenty five reverse ADS split. No new Shares will be issued in connection with the Ratio Change and the ADSs will continue to be traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "VEON." As a result of the Ratio Change, the trading price of the Company's ADSs is expected to automatically increase proportionally, but the Company can give no assurance that the ADS trading price following the Ratio Change will be at least equal to the ADS trading price before the Ratio Change multiplied by the new 25:1 ratio. As VEON announced previously on 5 October 2022, the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Market granted VEON an additional grace period through 3 April 2023 to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq's Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price"). While the Ratio Change is intended to bring the bid price of the Company's ADSs into compliance with the Minimum Bid Price, the Company can give no assurance that the Ratio Change will be effective in achieving this goal. VEON Group CEO Kaan Terzioglu commented: "We believe the Ratio Change is in the best interest of all our stakeholders, as it will allow us to ensure VEON's continued Nasdaq listing and provide a pathway toward increasing VEON's visibility on Nasdaq."
