<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Telenor has requested an arbitration tribunal to determine that VimpelCom&#146;s proposed acquisition of
Wind Telecom is not a Related M&#038;A Transaction under the VimpelCom Shareholders Agreement and that
Telenor is entitled to exercise its pre-emptive rights under the Shareholders Agreement in
connection with the issuance of new VimpelCom shares to the Wind Telecom shareholders if
VimpelCom&#146;s proposed acquisition of Wind Telecom is completed.
