- Presentation of 3Q2005
- Financial and Operating Results
November 17, 2005
2Disclaimer
This presentation contains "forward-looking
statements", as the phrase is defined in Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These
statements relate, in part, to the Companys
strategy and development plans, such as national
and CIS growth, the Companys subscriber growth,
planned capital investments, cash growth and
position, and the benefits to the Company of its
acquisition of URS. The forward-looking
statements are based on management's best
assessment of the Company's strategic and
financial position, and future market conditions
and trends in Russia and the CIS. These
discussions involve risks and uncertainties. The
actual outcome may differ materially from these
statements as a result of risks and uncertainties
relating to developments from competition,
governmental regulations of the wireless
telecommunications industry, general political
uncertainties in Russia and the CIS, general
economic developments in Russia and the CIS,
and/or litigation by third parties or our
shareholders (including Telenor). The actual
outcome may also differ materially if the
VimpelCom Group (including URS) is unable to (i)
comply with the terms of its licenses and
frequencies, (ii) obtain sufficient funding
and/or (iii) obtain all necessary corporate
approvals relating to the business of VimpelCom
and its subsidiaries, including URS (including
approval of the budget, funding, specific
transactions, and operational and other issues by
VimpelCom and its subsidiaries, including URS),
and other factors. There can be no assurance that
these risks and uncertainties will not have a
material adverse effect on the VimpelCom Group,
that the VimpelCom Group will be able to meet its
capital investment plans, that URS subscriber
growth will meet expectations, that the
transactions with Ericsson (which are subject to
conditions precedent) will be consummated, that
URS will become profitable, or that the Company
will be successful in integrating URS into the
VimpelCom Group. There can also be no assurance
that there will not be challenges with respect to
whether the shareholder meeting that approved the
URS acquisition has complied with Russian law,
whether corporate approvals obtained were
sufficient to complete the transactions on the
terms thereof and/or whether further corporate
approvals were required. There can also be no
assurance that the decision and results of the
shareholder meeting, transactions concluded, and
actions taken by VimpelCom or URS will not be
challenged by third parties or our shareholders
(including Telenor). If any such challenges are
successful, including if they were to lead to the
possible unwinding of the URS acquisition or
other transactions or the payment of damages,
such challenges could have a material adverse
effect on the Company, its operations and its
financial condition. Certain factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from
those discussed in any forward-looking statements
include the risks described in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended
December 31, 2004 and other public filings made
by the Company with the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission, which risk factors are
incorporated herein by reference. VimpelCom
disclaims any obligation to update developments
of these risk factors or to announce publicly any
revision to any of the forward-looking statements
contained in this release, or to make corrections
to reflect future events or developments.
