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
development plans, such as national expansion.
These statements also relate to the consummation
of the merger between VimpelCom and each of
VimpelCom-Region and KB Impuls each of which is
subject to regulatory and certain other
approvals, as well as certain other conditions
precedent, including the transfer of all
respective licenses and permissions to VimpelCom.
If any of the respective approvals are not
obtained or any condition precedent is not met,
the mergers will not be consummated. The
forward-looking statements are based on
management's best assessment of the Company's
strategic and financial position, future market
conditions and trends and its ability to

risks and uncertainties. The actual outcome may
differ materially from these statements as a
result of unforeseen developments from regulatory
authorities, competition, governmental
regulations of the wireless telecommunications

uncertainties in Russia, general economic
developments in Russia, the Companys ability to
continue to grow its overall subscriber base,
continued volatility in the world economy and
other factors. There can be no assurance that
such risks and uncertainties will not have
material adverse effects on the Companys
development plans. 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

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
