Dear Shareholder,
It is a pleasure to invite you to the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “2021 AGM”) of VEON Ltd. (“VEON” or the “Company”). The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has resolved that the 2021 AGM will be held on Thursday, 10 June 2021 at 11.00 am Central European Summer Time at Claude Debussylaan 88, 1082 MD Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The formal Notice convening the 2021 AGM is set out on pages 4 to 11 of this document. The record date for the 2021 AGM has been set as 5 May 2021. Under Bermuda law and the existing bye-laws of the Company (“Bye-laws”), only the holders of record of VEON common shares (“Shareholders”) at the close of business on the record date are entitled to vote at the 2021 AGM.
Shareholder engagement is important to us. If you have any questions regarding this Notice, the 2021 AGM, the Minority Shareholder Group or the Additional Candidate, you may contact Nik Kershaw at +31651129468 or ir@veon.com. We note that shareholders will also be able to raise questions at the meeting itself. Further information regarding the resolutions to be proposed at the 2021 AGM is set out on pages 9 to 11 of this document and includes a statement in support of the twelve Board-nominated director candidates. We encourage you to read this information carefully.
In light of ongoing social distancing requirements implemented in response to the Covid-19 pandemic (the “Covid-19 Restrictions”), the Board has determined that eligible Shareholders who wish to attend the meeting in person may only do so electronically, in accordance with bye-law 31.1 of the VEON Bye-laws. Further details of such electronic participation will be forwarded to eligible Shareholders in due course. Owing to the Covid-19 Restrictions, Shareholders who seek to attend the 2021 AGM in person will be turned away as permitted under Bye-law 31.2.
The agenda of the meeting is as follows:
1.Receipt by Shareholders of the report of the Company’s auditor and the audited financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2020;

The report of the auditor and the financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 (prepared in accordance with IFRS) appear on the Investor Relations page of the Company’s website at www.veon.com.
At the 2021 AGM, the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast will be required to re-appoint PWC as the Company’s auditor to hold office until the conclusion of the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company and authorise the Board to determine the remuneration of the auditor.
The affirmative vote of Shareholders holding not less than 75 per cent of the votes cast is required to approve the adoption of the New Bye-laws.
Voting on the election of all directors at the 2021 AGM will be by way of cumulative voting and information about the cumulative voting procedure is provided on pages 10 to 11 of this document. At the 2019 Annual General Meeting of the Company, Shareholders fixed the number of seats on the VEON Board at 12. Accordingly, at the 2021 AGM, each Shareholder will have 12 votes for each share they hold in the Company to allocate as they see fit among directors seeking election.
Please see the proxy form enclosed with this Notice for further information on how to vote your shares in the Company for the election of directors.
On 11 March 2021, the Company received a requisition notice from BNY (Nominees) Ltd., the registered holder of common shares participating in our American Depositary Receipt program (“ADR Program”). This requisition notice was delivered on the request of certain investors beneficially holding, in aggregate, 7.38% of our issued share capital (the “Minority Shareholder Group”). The Minority Shareholder Group includes The Russian Prosperity Funds, Sovereign Trade and Finance Limited and others. In accordance with the Bye-laws and the relevant statutory provisions set out in the Act, registered shareholder(s) holding in excess of five per cent of the issued common share capital of VEON may propose resolutions to be tabled at the 2021 AGM. The Minority Shareholder Group has proposed the addition of two nominees to the slate of Directors seeking appointment at the 2021 AGM. One of such nominees proposed by the Minority Shareholder Group has since voluntarily withdrawn his candidacy, and as such, the Minority Shareholder Group proposal to appoint him is of no further effect. Details on the other candidate proposed by the Minority Shareholder Group, Vasily Sidorov (the “Additional Candidate”), and a statement in support of such proposal prepared by the Minority Shareholder Group is included with this Notice, as required by section 79 of the Act.
For reasons detailed on page 10 below, the VEON Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are of the view that the twelve Board-nominated candidates are preferable candidates for the role of director of VEON and the Board’s recommendation is that shareholders allocate their votes for the Board-nominated candidates.
VEON Shareholders are requested to complete and return the proxy form enclosed with this Notice or the voting instruction form (as relevant to how your shares are held) to ensure that their shares are represented at the 2021 AGM.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of the proposal for the re-appointment of PWC as the Company’s auditor, and IN FAVOUR of the proposal to approve the adoption of the New Bye-laws.
The Board further recommends that Shareholders allocate their votes IN FAVOUR of the twelve Board-nominated candidates. The Board believes that these recommendations are in the best interest of both the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
Thank you for your ongoing support of VEON.
Yours sincerely
Gennady Gazin
Chairman

•The election of the Board itself is conducted by cumulative voting, which allows for proportionate representation of Shareholders’ approved candidates on the Board.
•At the 2019 Annual General Meeting of the Company, Shareholders fixed the number of seats on the Board at 12. Accordingly, there are 12 positions to be filled at the 2021 AGM, with directors being appointed by cumulative voting from the 13 candidates listed in the Notice.
•Each Shareholder should multiply the number of voting shares that it holds by 12 (the number of directors to be elected to the Board from among the thirteen nominated candidates) and either allocate all of these votes to one nominee or distribute the total number of votes among two or more of the nominees proposed to be elected to the Board.

•Each Shareholder should vote on each of Proposals 3 through 15 by writing the number of votes allocated to each of the nominees selected by it in the appropriate box in the proxy form or voting instruction enclosed.
•Each Shareholder has 12 votes for each voting share held by it. The sum of votes cast for the nominees selected by the Shareholder may not exceed the total number of votes at such Shareholder’s disposal for the appointment of directors.
•The 12 candidates attaining the greatest number of Shareholder votes will be appointed to the VEON Board and will hold office in accordance with the Bye-laws.

Calls on Shares 6.1 The Board may make such calls as it thinks fit upon the Shareholders in respect of any moneys (whether in respect of nominal value or premium) unpaid on the shares allotted to or held by such Shareholders (and not made payable at fixed times by the terms and conditions of issue), and, if a call is not paid on or before the day appointed for payment thereof, the Shareholder may at the discretion of the Board be liable to pay the Company interest on the amount of such call at such rate as the Board may determine, from the date when such call was payable up to the actual date of payment. The Board may differentiate between the holders as to the amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment of such calls. 6.2 Any amount which by the terms of allotment of a share becomes payable upon issue or at any fixed date, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium, shall for all the purposes of these Bye-laws be deemed to be an amount on which a call has been duly made and payable, on the date on which, by the terms of issue, the same becomes payable, and in case of non-payment all the relevant provisions of these Bye- laws as to payment of interest, costs, charges and expenses, forfeiture or otherwise shall apply as if such amount had become payable by virtue of a duly made and notified call.

6.3 The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls and any interest, costs and expenses in respect thereof. 6.4 The Company may accept from any Shareholder the whole or a part of the amount remaining unpaid on any shares held by him, although no part of that amount has been called up or become payable. 7. Forfeiture of Shares 7.1 If any Shareholder fails to pay, on the day appointed for payment thereof, any call in respect of any share allotted to or held by such Shareholder, the Board may, at any time thereafter during such time as the call remains unpaid, direct the Secretary to forward such Shareholder a notice in writing in the form approved by the Board, notifying the Shareholder that the shares in question will be liable to be forfeited if the call remains unpaid. 7.2 If the requirements of such notice are not complied with, any such share may at any time thereafter before the payment of such call and the interest due in respect thereof be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that effect, and such share shall thereupon become the property of the Company and may be disposed of as the Board shall determine. 7.3 A Shareholder whose share or shares have been so forfeited shall, notwithstanding such forfeiture, be liable to pay to the Company all calls owing on such share or shares at the time of the forfeiture together with all interest due thereon and any costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection therewith. 7.4 The Board may accept the surrender of any shares which it is in a position to forfeit on such terms and conditions as may be agreed.

Unless otherwise determined by the Directors and permitted by the Act and any other applicable Laws, no Person shall be entitled to receive a certificate in respect of any share for so long as the title to that share is evidenced otherwise than by a certificate and for so long as transfers of that share may be made otherwise than by a written instrument. 9.2 Without prejudice to Bye-law 9.1 but notwithstanding any other provisions of these Bye- laws, the Directors shall, subject always to the Act and any other applicable Laws and the facilities and requirements of any relevant system concerned, have power to implement and/or approve any arrangements they may, in their absolute discretion, think fit in relation to the evidencing of title to and transfer of interests in shares in the capital of the Company in the form of depositary receipts or similar interests, instruments or securities, and the holding and transfer of such receipts, interests, instruments or securities in uncertificated form and to the extent such arrangements are so implemented, no provision of these Bye- laws shall apply or have effect to the extent that it is in any respect inconsistent with the holding or transfer thereof or the shares in the capital of the Company represented thereby. The Directors may from time to time take such actions and do such things as they may, in their absolute discretion, think fit in relation to the operation of any such arrangements. 10. Fractional Shares The Company may issue its shares in fractional denominations and deal with such fractions to the same extent as its whole shares and shares in fractional denominations shall have in proportion to the respective fractions represented thereby all of the rights of whole shares of the relevant class.

Register of Shareholders 11.1 The Board shall cause to be kept in one or more books a Register of Shareholders and shall enter therein the particulars required by the Act. 11.2 The Register of Shareholders shall be open to inspection without charge at the Registered Office on every Business Day, subject to such reasonable restrictions as the Board may impose, so that not less than two hours in each Business Day be allowed for inspection. The Register of Shareholders may, after notice has been given in accordance with the Act, be closed for any time or times not exceeding in the whole 30 days in each year. 12. Registered Holder Absolute Owner The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any share as the absolute owner thereof and accordingly shall not be bound to recognise any equitable claim or other claim to, or interest in, such share on the part of any other Person. 13. Transfer of Registered Shares

13.1 An instrument of transfer shall be in writing in the usual form prevalent in Bermuda, or in any such other written form as the Board may reasonably accept, save that for such time as the Company’s shares are traded or admitted to trading on an Appointed Stock Exchange, nothing in this bye-law 13 shall operate to restrict transfer of shares in accordance with Stock Exchange Regulations. 13.2 Except as otherwise provided in these Bye-laws, such instrument of transfer shall be signed by or on behalf of the transferor and transferee, provided that, in the case of a fully paid share, the Board may accept the instrument signed by or on behalf of the transferor alone. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of such share until the same has been registered as having been transferred to the transferee in the Register of Shareholders. 13.3 If shares are certificated, the Board may refuse to recognise any instrument of transfer unless it is accompanied by the certificate in respect of the shares to which it relates and by such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer. 13.4 The joint holders of any share may transfer such share to one or more of such joint holders, and the surviving holder or holders of any share previously held by them jointly with a deceased Shareholder may transfer any such share to the executors or administrators of such deceased Shareholder. 13.5 The Board may in its absolute discretion and without assigning any reason therefor refuse to register the transfer of a share which is not fully paid. The Board shall refuse to register a transfer unless all applicable consents, authorisations and permissions of any Governmental Entity in Bermuda have been obtained. 13.6 If the Board refuses to register a transfer of any share the Secretary shall, within two months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company, send to the transferor and transferee notice of the refusal. 14. Transmission of Registered Shares 14.1 In the case of the death of a Shareholder, the survivor or survivors where the deceased Shareholder was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased Shareholder where the deceased Shareholder was a sole holder, shall be the only Persons recognised by the Company as having any title to the deceased Shareholder's interest in the shares. Nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased joint holder from any liability in respect of any share which had been jointly held by such deceased Shareholder with other Persons. Subject to the Act, for the purpose of this Bye-law, legal personal representative means the executor or administrator of a deceased Shareholder or such other Person as the Board may, in its absolute discretion, decide as being properly authorised to deal with the shares of a deceased Shareholder. 14.2 Any Person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of any Shareholder, or otherwise by operation of applicable Law, may be registered as a Shareholder upon such evidence as the Board may deem sufficient, or may elect to nominate a Person to be registered as a transferee of such share, and in such case the Person becoming entitled shall execute in favour of such nominee an instrument of transfer in favour of his nominee. 14.3 On the presentation of the foregoing materials to the Board, accompanied by such evidence as the Board may require to prove the title of the transferor, the transferee shall be registered as a Shareholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall, in any case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as it would have had in the

case of a transfer of the share by the deceased Shareholder before such Shareholder's death or bankruptcy, as the case may be. 14.4 Where two or more Persons are registered as joint holders of a share or shares, then in the event of the death of any joint holder or holders the remaining joint holder or holders shall be absolutely entitled to such share or shares and the Company shall recognise no claim in respect of the estate of any joint holder except in the case of the last survivor of such joint holders. 15. Foreign Securities Laws 15.1 The Board may, in its absolute and unfettered discretion, decline to register the transfer of any shares if it believes that registration of such shares or transfer is required under the Laws of any jurisdiction and such registration has not been effected, save that the Board may request and rely on an opinion of counsel to the transferor or transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Board, that no such registration is required. 15.2 The Board shall have the authority to request from any direct or indirect holder of shares, and such holder shall provide, such information as the Board may request for the purpose of determining whether any transfer contemplated by Bye-law 15.1 should be permitted. 16. Interests in Shares 16.1 The Company may by notice in writing require a Person whom the Board knows or has reasonable cause to believe to be or, at any time during the three years immediately preceding the date on which the notice is issued, to have been interested (legally or beneficially) in the Company’s shares: (a) to confirm that fact or (as the case may be) to indicate whether or not it is the case, and (b) where he holds or has during that time held an interest in shares, to give such further information as may be required in accordance with Bye-law 16.2. 16.2 A Person who has received a notice under Bye-law 16.1 shall respond, in writing, to the Board within 10 Business Days (or such other period as the Board shall specify in the notice) and shall: (a) state their full name and address, and, where the Person interested in shares is a body corporate, include a confirmation that the signatory to such response is duly authorised on behalf of such body corporate to give the relevant confirmation to the Company; (b) confirm the number of shares in which he is or was interested as at the date of the notice; (c) in a case where the Person no longer has an interest in the Company’s shares, state that he no longer has such an interest. 16.3 Where the Company has served a notice under Bye-law 16.1 on a Person who is or was interested in shares in the Company, and that person fails to give the Company the information required by the notice within the time specified in it, the Board, in its sole discretion, may direct that for so long as the shares are held by that Person and the default continues, the shares in question be subject to restrictions including (without limitation) that:

(i) no voting rights are exercisable in respect of the shares; (ii) any transfer of the shares is void; (iii) except in a liquidation, no payment may be made of sums due from the Company on the shares, whether in respect of dividend, capital or otherwise. 16.4 For the purposes of this Bye-law 16, a Person is taken to be interested in any shares: (a) in which his spouse or any child or step-child or other Affiliate of his is interested; (b) if a body corporate is interested in them, and (i) that body or its directors are accustomed to act in accordance with his directions or instructions, or (ii) he is entitled to exercise or control the exercise of one-third or more of the voting power at general meetings of that body corporate; or (c) he enters into a Contract for their purchase by him (whether for cash or other consideration); or (d) not being the registered holder, he is entitled to exercise or receive any right conferred by the holding of the shares or is entitled to control the exercise of any such right; or (e) where property is held on trust and shares in the Company are comprised in such trust property, and the Shareholder or a person identified in Bye-law 16.4(a) or 16.4(b) is a beneficiary of the trust. 16.5 The Company shall keep a register for purposes of this Bye-law 16, and whenever the Company issues a notice in accordance with Bye-law 16.1 and receives a response in consequence thereof, the Company shall (within 10 Business Days of such response) cause to be inscribed in the register, against that person's name, the relevant information and the date of the inscription. 17. Mandatory Offers 17.1 Any Person who, individually or together with any of its Affiliates or any other members of a "group", within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (a "Section 13(d) Group") of which it is a part, directly or indirectly, in any manner, acquires Beneficial Ownership of any Common Shares (including, without limitation, through the acquisition of ownership or control of another Shareholder or a Controlling Person of another Shareholder or through the direct or indirect acquisition of derivative securities) which, taken together with Common Shares already Beneficially Owned by it or any of its Affiliates or its Section 13(d) Group, in any manner, carry 50 per cent or more of the voting rights of the Company (the "Limit"), shall, within 30 days of acquiring such shares, make a general offer to all holders of Common Shares. 17.2 Where any Person breaches the Limit and does not make an offer as required by Bye-law 17.1, that Person is in breach of these Bye-laws. 17.3 The Board may do all or any of the following where it has reason to believe that the Limit is or may be breached:

(a) require any Shareholder or Person appearing or purporting to be interested in any shares of the Company to provide such information as the Board considers appropriate to determine any of the matters under this Bye-law 17; (b) have regard to such public filings as it considers appropriate to determine any of the matters under this Bye-law 17; (c) make such determinations under this Bye-law 17 as it thinks fit, either after calling for submissions from affected Shareholders or other Persons or without calling for such submissions; (d) determine that the voting rights attached to all shares held by such Persons, or in which such Persons are or may be interested ("Relevant Shares") are from a particular time suspended and incapable of being exercised for a definite or indefinite period and such Person (and any proxy to the extent appointed by him to act in that capacity) shall for this period of time cease to be entitled to receive notice of any meeting of the Shareholders; (e) determine that some or all of the Relevant Shares will not carry any right to any dividends or other distributions from a particular time for a definite or indefinite period; and (f) take such other action as it thinks fit for the purposes of this Bye-law 17 including: (i) prescribing rules (not inconsistent with this Bye-law 17); (ii) setting deadlines for the provision of information; (iii) drawing adverse inferences where information requested is not provided; (iv) making determinations or interim determinations; (v) executing documents on behalf of a Shareholder; (vi) converting any Relevant Shares held in uncertificated form into certificated form, or vice-versa; and (vii) changing any decision or determination or rule previously made. 17.4 A general offer under Bye-law 17.1 complies with this Bye-law if: (a) the offer is unconditional in all respects and is open for acceptance for a period of not less than 30 days; (b) the making or implementation of the offer is not dependent on the passing of a resolution at any meeting of shareholders of the offeror; and (c) the offer is in cash or is accompanied by a cash alternative, in each case, at an offer price per Common Share not less than the greater of: (i) the highest price paid by the offeror, any of its Affiliates or any member of its Section 13(d) Group for any interest in Common Shares during the six months prior to the date on the Limit was exceeded,

(ii) the 180 day volume weighted average price on NASDAQ of the Common Shares on the date on which the Limit was exceeded. In this Bye-law, a reference to the price of a Common Share will be deemed to include the price of a depository receipt or similar interest representing a Common Share, if Common Shares are evidenced by listed depository receipts or similar interests at any applicable time, and (iii) if, before the offer closes for acceptance, the offeror, any of its Affiliates or any member of its Section 13(d) Group acquires any interest in Common Shares at above the offer price, the highest price paid for the interest in the Common Shares so acquired, (the "Offer Price"); and 17.5 The requirement for an offer to be made in accordance with this Bye-law may be waived by a vote of a majority of votes cast and entitled to vote on the matter by Shareholders voting in person or by proxy at a general meeting, excluding for all purposes of the vote the Shareholder(s) or Person(s)in question and their Affiliates. 17.6 Any one or more of the Directors may act as the attorney(s) of any Shareholder or Person in questioninquestion in relation to the execution of documents and other actions to be taken for the sale of Relevant Shares determined by the Board under this Bye-law 17. ARTICLE V ALTERATION OF CAPITAL 18. Power to Alter Capital 18.1 The Company may if authorised by resolution of the Shareholders increase, divide, consolidate, subdivide, change the currency denomination of, diminish or otherwise alter or reduce its share capital in any manner permitted by the Act. 18.2 Where, on any alteration or reduction of share capital, fractions of shares or some other difficulty would arise, the Board may deal with or resolve the same in such manner as it thinks fit including (without limitation) in the way prescribed in Bye-law 18.3 below. 18.3 The Board may sell shares representing the fractions to any Person (including the Company) for the best price reasonably obtainable and distribute the net proceeds of sale in due proportion amongst the Persons to whom such fractions are attributable (except that if the amount due to a Person is less than US$20.00, or such other sum as the Board may decide, the Company may retain such sum for its own benefit). To give effect to such sale the Board may authorise a Person to execute an instrument of transfer of shares in the name and on behalf of the holder of, or the Person entitled by transmission to, them to the purchaser or as the purchaser may direct or implement any arrangements they may, in their absolute discretion, think fit in relation to the evidencing of title to and transfer of uncertificated shares. 18.4 The purchaser will not be bound to see to the application of the purchase moneys in respect of any such sale. The title of the transferee to the shares shall not be affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the proceedings connected with the sale or transfer. Any instrument or exercise referred to in Bye-law 18.3 shall be effective as if it had been executed or exercised by the holder of the shares to which it relates.

19. Variation of Rights Attaching to Shares 19.1 Subject to the Act and, if relevant, the approval required pursuant to Bye-law 25.8, all or any of the special rights for the time being attached to any class of shares in issue may, unless otherwise expressly provided in the rights attaching to or by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, from time to time (whether or not the Company is being wound up), be altered or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of the issued shares of such class carrying 75 per cent or more of all of the votes capable of being cast at the relevant time at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class or with the sanction of a resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of shares of that class by a majority of the votes cast. 19.2 All the provisions of these Bye-laws relating to general meetings of the Company shall apply mutatis mutandis to any separate general meeting of any class of Shareholders, except that the necessary quorum shall be one or more Shareholders present in person or by proxy holding or representing at least one third of the shares of the relevant class. 19.3 The special rights conferred on the holders of any shares or class of shares shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided in the rights attaching to or the terms of issue of such shares, be deemed to be altered or abrogated by: (a) the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with them; or (b) the purchase or redemption by the Company of any of its own shares. ARTICLE VI DIVIDENDS AND CAPITALISATION 20. Dividends 20.1 The Board may, subject to these Bye-laws and in accordance with the Act, declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders holding shares entitled to the payment of dividends, in proportion to the number of shares held by them, and such dividend may be paid in cash or wholly or partly in specie, including without limitation the issue by the Company of shares or other securities, in which case the Board may fix the value for distribution in specie of any assets, shares or securities. No unpaid dividend shall bear interest as against the Company. The exact amount and timing of any dividend declarations and payments shall, subject to the requirements of the Act, be determined by the Board. 20.2 The Board may fix any date as the record date for determining the Shareholders entitled to receive any dividend. 20.3 The Company may pay dividends in proportion to the amount paid up on each share where a larger amount is paid up on some shares than on others. 20.4 The Board may declare and make such other distributions (in cash or in specie) to the Shareholders holding shares entitled to distributions as may be lawfully made out of the assets of the Company. No unpaid distribution shall bear interest as against the Company. 21. Power to Set Aside Profits The Board may, before declaring a dividend, set aside out of the surplus or profits of the Company, such amount as it thinks proper as a reserve to be used to meet contingencies or for any other purpose. 22. Method of Payment

22.1 Any dividend or other moneys payable in respect of a share may be paid by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the address of the Shareholder in the Register of Shareholders (in the case of joint Shareholders, the senior joint holder, seniority being determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of Shareholders), or by direct transfer to such bank account as such Shareholder may direct. Every such cheque shall be made payable to the order of the Person to whom it is sent or to such Persons as the Shareholder may direct, and payment of the cheque or warrant shall be a good discharge to the Company. Every such cheque, warrant or direct transfer shall be sent at the risk of the Person entitled to the money represented thereby. If two or more Persons are registered as joint holders of any shares any one of them can give an effectual receipt for any dividend paid in respect of such shares. 22.2 The Board may deduct from the dividends or distributions payable to any Shareholder (either alone or jointly with another) by the Company in respect of any shares all moneys (if any) due from such Shareholders (either alone or jointly with another) to the Company on account of calls or otherwise. 22.3 Any dividend or other moneys payable in respect of a share which has remained unclaimed for 6 years from the date when it became due for payment shall, if the Board so resolves, be forfeited and cease to remain owing by the Company. The payment of any unclaimed dividend or other moneys payable in respect of a share may (but need not) be paid by the Company into an account separate from the Company's own account. Such payment shall not constitute the Company a trustee in respect thereof. 22.4 The Company shall be entitled to cease sending dividend cheques and warrants by post or otherwise to a Shareholder if those instruments have been returned undelivered to, or left uncashed by, that Shareholder on at least three consecutive occasions, or, following one such occasion, reasonable enquiries have failed to establish the Shareholder's new address. The entitlement conferred on the Company by this Bye-law in respect of any Shareholder shall cease if the Shareholder claims a dividend or cashes a dividend cheque or warrant. 23. Capitalisation 23.1 The Board may capitalise any amount for the time being standing to the credit of any of the Company's share premium or other reserve accounts or to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution by applying such amount in paying up unissued shares to be allotted as fully paid up bonus shares pro-rata (except in connection with the conversion of shares of one class to shares of another class) to the Shareholders. 23.2 The Board may capitalise any amount for the time being standing to the credit of a reserve account or amounts otherwise available for dividend or distribution by applying such amounts in paying up in full partly or nil paid up shares of those Shareholders who would have been entitled to such amounts if they were distributed by way of dividend or distribution. ARTICLE VII GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE 24. Governance Structure The governance of the Company shall be comprised of: 24.1 the registered Shareholders of the Company acting in accordance with these Bye-laws;

24.2 the Board acting in accordance with these Bye-laws; and 24.3 the CEO and other Officers as appointed by the Board and acting in accordance with these Bye-laws. ARTICLE VIII SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS 25. Matters Requiring Shareholder Approval In addition to those matters for which an approval of the Shareholders is required by applicable Law or Stock Exchange Regulation, the following actions shall require the approval of the Shareholders at a general meeting: 25.1 any merger, consolidation, amalgamation, conversion, reorganisation, scheme of arrangement, dissolution or liquidation involving the Company, which shall require a Special Resolution; 25.2 any sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, which shall require a resolution passed by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast and entitled to vote on the matter; 25.3 any issue of securities of the Company described under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 (Shareholder Approval) (or any successor thereto), except that approval of the Shareholders will not be required under this Bye-law for any stock option plans or other equity compensation plans or in any other circumstance described under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c) (Equity Compensation) (or any successor thereto); 25.4 the election of Directors, which shall be done by Cumulative Voting in accordance with Bye-law 44; 25.5 the appointment of the Auditor, which shall require a resolution passed by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast and entitled to vote on the matter; 25.6 loans to any Director, the approval of which shall be subject to the Act; 25.7 the discontinuance of the Company to a jurisdiction outside Bermuda pursuant to the Act, which shall require a Special Resolution; and 25.8 the rescission, alteration or amendment of these Bye-laws, or the adoption of any new bye- laws, which shall require approval by a resolution of the Board and by a Special Resolution. 26. Annual General Meetings The annual general meeting of the Company shall be held in each year at such time and place as the CEO or the Board shall appoint. 27. Special General Meetings The CEO or the Board may convene a special general meeting whenever in their judgment such a meeting is necessary. The Board shall, on the requisition in writing of Shareholders holding such number of shares as is prescribed by, and made in accordance with, the Act, convene a special general meeting in accordance with the Act. Each special general meeting shall, subject to the Act and these Bye-laws, be held at such time and place as the CEO or the Board shall appoint.

28. Notice and Record Dates 28.1 At least 30 Clear Days’ notice of an annual general meeting (other than an adjourned meeting) shall be given to each Shareholder entitled to attend and vote thereat, stating the date, place and time at which the meeting is to be held, that the election of Directors will take place thereat, and as far as practicable, the other business to be conducted at the meeting. 28.2 At least 30 Clear Days’ notice of a special general meeting shall be given to each Shareholder entitled to attend and vote thereat, stating the date, time, place and the general nature of the business to be considered at the meeting. 28.3 The CEO or Board may fix any date as the record date for determining Shareholders’ eligibility to: (i) receive notice of and to vote at any general meeting (which record date shall be not more than 60 Clear Days prior to any general meeting); and (ii) receive any dividends declared from time to time by the Board. 28.4 A general meeting shall, notwithstanding that it is called on shorter notice than that specified in these Bye-laws, be deemed to have been properly called if it is so agreed by: (i) all the Shareholders entitled to attend and vote thereat in the case of an annual general meeting; and (ii) by a majority in number of the Shareholders having the right to attend and vote at the meeting and together holding not less than 95 per cent in nominal value of the shares giving a right to attend and vote thereat in the case of a special general meeting. 28.5 The accidental omission to give notice of a general meeting to, or the non-receipt of a notice of a general meeting by, any Person entitled to receive notice shall not invalidate the proceedings at that meeting. A Shareholder present, either in person or by proxy, at any annual general meeting or special general meeting, or meeting of the holders of any class of shares shall be deemed to have received proper notice of that meeting and, where required, the purpose for which it was called. 29. Meeting Notice and Access 29.1 A notice or other document may be given by the Company to a Shareholder: (a) by delivering it to such Shareholder in person; or (b) by sending it by letter mail or courier to such Shareholder’s address in the Register of Shareholders; or (c) (excluding a share certificate) by transmitting it by electronic means (including by electronic mail, but not by telephone) in accordance with such directions as may be given by such Shareholder to the Company for such purpose or by such other means as the Board may decide and which are permitted by Law and not prohibited by the Act; or (d) in accordance with Bye-law 29.3 or Bye-law 29.8. 29.2 Any notice required to be given to a Shareholder shall, with respect to any shares held jointly by two or more Persons, be given to whichever of such Persons is named first in the Register of Shareholders and notice so given shall be sufficient notice to all the holders of such shares.

29.3 Each Shareholder shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that any notice or other document (excluding a share certificate) may be provided by the Company by way of accessing them on a website instead of being provided by other means. 29.4 Save as provided by Bye-laws 29.5 and 29.6, any notice shall be deemed to have been served at the time when the same would be delivered in the ordinary course of transmission and, in proving such service, it shall be sufficient to prove that the notice was properly addressed and prepaid, if posted, at the time when it was posted, delivered to the courier or transmitted by electronic mail, or such other method as the case may be. 29.5 Notice delivered by letter mail shall be deemed to have been served 48 hours after the time on which it is deposited, with postage prepaid, in the mail of any member state of the European Union, the United States, or Bermuda. 29.6 In the case of information or documents delivered in accordance with Bye-law 29.3, service shall be deemed to have occurred when: (i) the Shareholder is notified in accordance with Bye-law 29.1 of the website posting; and (ii) the information or document is published on the website. 29.7 The Company shall be under no obligation to send a notice or other document to the address shown for any particular Shareholder in the Register of Shareholders if the Board considers that the legal or practical problems under the Laws of, or the requirements of any regulatory body or Stock Exchange Regulation in, the territory in which that address is situated are such that it is necessary or expedient not to send the notice or document concerned to such Shareholder at such address and may require a Shareholder with such an address to provide the Company with an alternative acceptable address for delivery of notices by the Company. 29.8 If at any time, by reason of the suspension or curtailment of postal services within Bermuda or any other territory, the Company is unable effectively to convene a general meeting by notices sent through the post, a general meeting may be convened by a notice advertised in at least one national newspaper published in the territory concerned and such notice shall be deemed to have been duly served on each Person entitled to receive it in that territory on the day, or on the first day, on which the advertisement appears. In any such case, the Company shall send confirmatory copies of the notice to the Shareholders with registered addresses in that territory by post if at least five Clear Days before the meeting the posting of notices to addresses throughout that territory again becomes practicable. 30. Postponement or Cancellation of General Meeting The Board may postpone or cancel any general meeting called in accordance with these Bye-laws (other than a meeting requisitioned under these Bye-laws) provided that notice of postponement or cancellation is given to each Shareholder in accordance with Bye-law 29 before the time for such meeting. Fresh notice of the date, time and place for a postponed meeting shall be given to the Shareholders in accordance with these Bye-laws. 31. Attendance and Security at General Meetings 31.1 If so permitted by the Board or the chairman in relation to a general meeting, Shareholders may participate in such general meeting by such electronic means as permit all Persons participating in the meeting to communicate with each other simultaneously and

instantaneously, and participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. 31.2 The Board may, and at any general meeting, the chairman of such meeting may, make any arrangement and impose any requirement or restriction it or he considers appropriate to ensure the safety and security of a general meeting including, without limitation, requirements for evidence of identity to be produced by those attending the meeting, the searching of their personal property and the restriction of items that may be taken into the meeting place. The Board and, at any general meeting, the chairman of such meeting, are entitled to refuse entry to a Person who refuses to comply with any such arrangements, requirements or restrictions. 32. Quorum at General Meetings 32.1 Except as otherwise provided by the Act or these Bye-laws, at any general meeting two or more Persons present in person at the start of the meeting and having the right to attend and vote at the meeting and holding or representing in person or by proxy at least 50 per cent plus one voting share of the total issued voting shares in the Company at the relevant time shall form a quorum for the transaction of business. 32.2 If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, then, in the case of a meeting convened on a requisition, the meeting shall be deemed cancelled and, in any other case, the meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day one week later, at the same time and place or to such other day, time or place as the CEO may determine. If the meeting shall be adjourned to the same day one week later or the CEO shall determine that the meeting is adjourned to a specific date, time and place, it shall not be necessary to give notice of the adjourned meeting other than by announcement at the meeting being adjourned. If the CEO shall determine that the meeting be adjourned to an unspecified date, time or place, fresh notice of the resumption of the meeting shall be given to each Shareholder entitled to attend and vote thereat in accordance with these Bye-laws. A meeting may not be adjourned under this Bye-law 32.2 to a day which is more than 90 days after the day originally appointed for the meeting. 33. Chairman to Preside at General Meetings Unless otherwise agreed by a majority of those attending and entitled to vote thereat, the chairman of the Board, if there be one, shall act as chairman at all meetings of the Shareholders at which such person is present. If there is no such chairman, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within 15 minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the CEO shall act as chairman, if present and willing to act as chairman. If the CEO is not present or is unwilling to act as chairman, the Persons present and entitled to vote shall elect any Director or Officer who is present and willing to act as chairman or, if no Director or Officer is present or if none of the Directors or Officers present is willing to act as chairman, one of their number to be chairman. 34. Voting on Resolutions 34.1 Subject to the Act and these Bye-laws, a resolution may only be put to a vote at a general meeting of the Company or of any class of Shareholders if: (a) it is proposed by or at the direction of the Board; (b) it is proposed at the direction of a court; (c) it is proposed on the requisition in writing of such number of Shareholders as is prescribed by, and is made in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the Act or these Bye-laws; or

(d) the chairman of the meeting in his absolute discretion decides that the resolution may properly be regarded as within the scope of the meeting. 34.2 Subject to the Act and any Stock Exchange Regulation, and unless otherwise specified by these Bye-laws, any question properly proposed for the consideration of the Shareholders at any general meeting shall be decided by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast and entitled to vote on the matter, and in the case of an equality of votes, the chairman of such meeting shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote and the resolution shall fail. 34.3 No Shareholder shall be entitled to vote at a general meeting unless such Shareholder has paid all the calls or other sums presently payable on all shares held by such Shareholder. 34.4 No amendment may be made to a resolution, at or before the time when it is put to a vote, unless the chairman of the meeting in his absolute discretion decides that the amendment or the amended resolution may properly be put to a vote at that meeting. At any general meeting if an amendment is proposed to any resolution under consideration and the chairman of the meeting rules on whether or not the proposed amendment is out of order, the proceedings on the substantive resolution shall not be invalidated by any error in such ruling. 34.5 At any general meeting a declaration by the chairman of the meeting that a question proposed for consideration has been carried, or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost, and an entry to that effect in a book containing the minutes of the proceedings of the Company shall, subject to these Bye-laws, be conclusive evidence of that fact. 34.6 Section 77A of the Act shall not apply to the Company. 35. Voting on a Poll Required 35.1 Notwithstanding anything in these Bye-laws to the contrary, at any meeting of the Shareholders a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall, in each instance, be voted upon by a poll. Except where Cumulative Voting applies, every Person present at a meeting of the Shareholders shall have one vote for each share of which such Person is the holder or for which such Person holds a proxy and such vote shall be counted by ballot as described herein, or in the case of a general meeting at which one or more Shareholders are present by electronic means, in such manner as the chairman of the meeting may direct and the result of such poll vote shall be taken to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded. A Person entitled to more than one vote need not use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way. 35.2 A poll for the purpose of electing a chairman of the meeting or on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith. A poll on any other question shall be taken in such manner during such meeting as the chairman of the meeting may direct. 35.3 Each Person physically present and entitled to vote shall be furnished with a ballot paper on which such Person shall record his vote in such manner as shall be determined at the meeting having regard to the nature of the question on which the vote is taken. Each ballot paper shall be signed or initialled or otherwise marked so as to identify the voter and the registered holder in the case of a proxy. Each Person present by telephone, electronic or other communications facilities or means shall cast his vote in such manner as the chairman shall direct. At the conclusion of the poll, the ballot papers and votes cast in accordance with such directions shall be examined and counted by a committee of not less

than two Persons appointed by the chairman for the purpose or an independent scrutineer at the chairman's discretion. The result of the poll shall be declared by the chairman. 36. Voting by Joint Holders of Shares In the case of joint holders, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote (whether in person or by proxy) shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders, and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of Shareholders. 37. Instrument of Proxy 37.1 A Shareholder may appoint a proxy by: (a) an instrument appointing a proxy in writing in such form as the Board may determine from time to time; or (b) such telephonic, electronic or other means as may be approved by the Board from time to time. 37.2 The appointment of a proxy or a corporate representative in relation to a particular meeting shall, unless the contrary is stated, be valid for any adjournment of the meeting. 37.3 A Shareholder may appoint one or more standing proxies, with or without the power of substitution, or (if a corporation) one or more standing representatives by delivery to the Registered Office (or at such other place as the Board may from time to time specify for such purpose) of evidence of such appointment(s). If a Shareholder appoints more than one standing proxy or standing representative which appointments may allow the standing proxy or standing representative to vote generally or only in respect of a specified item of business, each appointment shall specify the number and class of shares held by the relevant Shareholder in respect of which the standing proxy or standing representative has been appointed and any restrictions or limitations pursuant to which the standing proxy or standing representative is subject. The appointment of such a standing proxy or representative shall be valid for every general meeting and adjourned meeting until such time as it is revoked by notice to the Company or the Shareholder ceases to be a Shareholder, but: (a) the appointment of a standing proxy or representative may be made on an irrevocable basis and may be limited to any particular item or items of business or be unlimited and the Company shall recognise the vote or abstention of the proxy or representative given in accordance with the terms of such an appointment, to the exclusion of the vote of the appointing Shareholder, until such time as the appointment ceases to be effective in accordance with its terms; (b) (subject to Bye-law 37.3(a)) the appointment of a standing proxy or representative shall be deemed to be suspended at any meeting or poll taken at any meeting at which the Shareholder is present or in respect of which the Shareholder has specifically appointed another proxy or representative; and (c) the Board may from time to time require such evidence as it deems necessary as to the due execution and continuing validity of the appointment of any proxy or representative and, if it does so, the appointment of the proxy or representative shall be deemed to be suspended until such time as the Board determines that it has received the required evidence or other evidence satisfactory to it. 37.4 The appointment of a proxy must be received by the Company at the Registered Office or at such other place or in such manner as is specified in the notice convening the meeting or in any instrument of proxy sent out by the Company in relation to the meeting at which the Person named in the appointment proposes to vote, and an appointment of proxy which is not received in the manner so permitted may be treated as invalid. The Board may waive any requirements as to the delivery of proxies, either generally or in any particular case.

37.5 Subject to Bye-law 37.10 and subject as mentioned in this Bye-law, an instrument or other form of communication appointing or evidencing the appointment of a proxy or corporate representative shall be accompanied by such evidence as to its due execution as the Board may from time to time require, and shall be delivered to the Registered Office (or to such other place or places as the Board may from time to time specify for the purpose). 37.6 If the terms of appointment of a proxy include a power of substitution, any proxy appointed by substitution under such power shall be deemed to be the proxy of the Shareholder who conferred such power. All the provisions of these Bye-laws relating to the execution and delivery of an instrument or other form of communication appointing or evidencing the appointment of a proxy shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the instrument or other form of communication effecting or evidencing such an appointment by substitution. 37.7 The appointment of a proxy, whether a standing proxy or a proxy relating to a particular meeting, shall be deemed, unless the contrary is stated, to confer authority to vote on any amendment of a resolution and on any other resolution put to a meeting for which it is valid in such manner as the proxy thinks fit. 37.8 A vote given by proxy, whether a standing proxy or a proxy relating to a particular meeting, shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal, or revocation of the appointment of the proxy or of the authority under which it was executed, unless notice of such death, insanity or revocation was received by the Company at the Registered Office (or at any other place as may be specified for the delivery of instruments or other forms of communication appointing or evidencing the appointment of proxies in the notice convening the meeting or in any other information sent to Shareholders by or on behalf of the Board in relation to the meeting) at least one hour before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the vote is given or by such later time as the Board may decide, either generally or in any particular case. 37.9 Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of these Bye-laws, the Board may decide, either generally or in any particular case, to treat an instrument or other form of communication appointing or evidencing the appointment of a proxy or a corporate representative as properly delivered for the purposes of these Bye-laws if a copy or facsimile image of the instrument is sent by electronic means to the Registered Office (or to such place as may be specified in the notice convening the meeting or in any notice of any adjournment or, in either case, in any other information sent by or on behalf of the Board in relation to the meeting or adjourned meeting). 37.10 Subject to the Act, the Board may also, at its discretion, waive any of the provisions of these Bye-laws relating to the execution and deposit of an instrument or other form of communication appointing or evidencing the appointment of a proxy or a corporate representative or any ancillary matter (including, without limitation, any requirement for the production or delivery of any instrument or other communication to any particular place or by any particular time or in any particular way) and, in any case in which it considers it appropriate, may accept such verbal or other assurances as it thinks fit as to the right of any Person to attend and vote on behalf of any Shareholder at any general meeting. 37.11 A Shareholder who is the holder of two or more shares may appoint more than one proxy, with or without the power of substitution, to represent him and vote on his behalf in respect of different shares. 37.12 A proxy need not be a Shareholder. 38. Representation of Corporate Shareholders

38.1 A corporation which is a Shareholder may, by written instrument, authorise such person or persons as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting and any person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which such person represents as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual Shareholder, and that Shareholder shall be deemed to be present in person at any such meeting attended by its authorised representative or representatives. 38.2 A Shareholder which is a corporation may, by written instrument, appoint more than one such authorised representative (with or without appointing any Persons in the alternative) at any such meeting provided that such appointment specifies the number of shares in respect of which each such appointee is authorised to act as representative, not exceeding in aggregate the number of shares held by the appointor and carrying the right to attend and vote at the relevant meeting. 38.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the chairman of the meeting may accept such assurances as he thinks fit as to the right of any person to attend and vote at general meetings on behalf of a corporation which is a Shareholder. 39. Adjournment of General Meeting 39.1 The chairman of any general meeting at which a quorum is present may with the consent of Shareholders holding a majority of the voting rights of those Shareholders present in person or by proxy (and shall if so directed by Shareholders holding a majority of the voting rights of those Shareholders present in person or by proxy), adjourn the meeting. 39.2 In addition, the chairman may adjourn the meeting to another time and place or sine die without such consent or direction, and whether or not a quorum is present, at the direction of the Board (prior to or at the meeting) or if it appears to him that: (a) it is likely to be impracticable to hold or continue that meeting because of the number of Shareholders wishing to attend who are not present; or (b) the unruly conduct of persons attending the meeting prevents, or is likely to prevent, the orderly continuation of the business of the meeting; or (c) an adjournment is otherwise necessary so that the business of the meeting may be properly conducted. 39.3 Unless the meeting is adjourned to a specific date, place and time announced at the meeting being adjourned, fresh notice of the date, place and time for the resumption of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each Shareholder entitled to attend and vote thereat in accordance with these Bye-laws. 39.4 When a meeting is adjourned for three months or more or sine die, not less than ten Clear Days’ notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in the same manner as in the case of the original meeting. Except as expressly provided by these Bye-laws, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjourned meeting or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting. No business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might properly have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. 40. Directors' Attendance at General Meetings The Directors shall be entitled to receive notice of, attend and be heard at any general meeting.

ARTICLE IX BOARD OF DIRECTORS 41. Duties and Powers of the Board 41.1 The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed under the direction of the Board, which may exercise all such powers of the Company and do all such lawful acts and things as are not required by the Act or by these Bye-laws required to be exercised by the Company in a general meeting of Shareholders. 41.2 Subject to these Bye-laws, the Board may delegate to any company, firm, person, or body of persons any power of the Board (including the power to sub-delegate), other than the power to approve any Board Reserved Matter, which power may not be delegated except to a committee of the Board established in accordance with Bye-law 43. The Board may appoint by power of attorney any company, firm, person or body of persons, whether nominated directly or indirectly by the Board, to be an attorney of the Company. Any such delegation of authority or appointment of an attorney must be made in accordance with the limitation on the delegation of Board Reserved Matters, but may otherwise be made for such purposes and with such powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those vested in or exercisable by the Board) and for such period and subject to such conditions as it may think fit and any such power of attorney may contain such provisions for the protection and convenience of persons dealing with any such attorney as the Board may think fit and may also authorise any such attorney to sub-delegate all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions so vested in the attorney. 42. Composition of the Board, and Appointment of Chairman 42.1 The Board shall consist of such number of Directors being not less than seven Directors and not more than thirteen Directors, as the Board shall from time to time determine, subject to approval by a resolution of the Company passed by Shareholders representing a simple majority of the total voting rights of the Shareholders, who (being entitled to do so) vote in person or by proxy on the resolution. 42.2 The chairman of the Board shall be selected by the Board. The chairman of the Board shall not have a casting vote on resolutions of the Board. 43. Board Committees The Board shall establish and maintain at least the following committees: a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and any such other committees that the Board deems necessary or appropriate. Each such committee shall have such composition, powers and responsibilities as set by the Board in such committee’s charter. 44. Election of Directors 44.1 Save as otherwise provided in this Bye-law 44 and Bye-laws 46 and 47, the Directors shall be elected at each annual general meeting of the Company. 44.2 All Directors shall be elected by Cumulative Voting. By way of illustration only, if there are ten candidates proposed to the Shareholders at a general meeting for election as Directors but only nine available Director positions, a Shareholder holding 100 voting shares would be entitled to apportion 900 votes among the ten candidates, and the nine candidates achieving the highest total number of votes would be elected to the Board.

44.3 A Director shall (unless he is removed from office or his office is vacated in accordance with these Bye-laws) hold office until the next following annual general meeting in accordance with these Bye-laws. 44.4 All Directors, prior to election or appointment (but not on re-appointment), must provide written acceptance of their appointment (conditional upon such appointment being effected), in such form as the Board may think fit, by notice in writing to the Registered Office. 45. Alternate Directors 45.1 Any Director may appoint and remove, from time to time, another Director or an individual approved by the Board to act as a Director in the alternative to himself by notice in writing to the Registered Office. Any person so appointed shall have all the rights and powers of the Director or Directors for whom such person is appointed in the alternative provided that such person shall not be counted more than once in determining whether or not a quorum is present. 45.2 An Alternate Director shall be entitled to receive notice of all meetings of the Board and committees of the Board of which the appointing Director is a member and to attend and vote at any such meeting at which the Director for whom such Alternate Director was appointed in the alternative is not present and generally to perform at such meeting all the functions of such Director. 45.3 An Alternate Director shall cease to be such if the Director for whom he was appointed to act as a Director in the alternative ceases for any reason to be a Director. 46. Removal of Directors 46.1 The Shareholders may, at any special general meeting convened and held in accordance with these Bye-laws, remove a Director by a resolution of the Company passed by Shareholders representing a simple majority of the total voting rights of the Shareholders, who (being entitled to do so) vote in person or by proxy on the resolution; provided that the notice of any such meeting convened for the purpose of removing a Director shall contain a statement of the intention so to do and be served on such Director not less than 14 days before the meeting and at such meeting the Director shall be entitled to be heard on the motion for such Director's removal. 46.2 If a Director is removed from the Board under the provisions of Bye-law 46.1, the Shareholders may propose a nominee to fill the vacancy at the special general meeting at which such Director is removed only if a Shareholder or Shareholders holding in aggregate five per cent or more of all issued Common Shares has requisitioned in writing a proposal to nominate a replacement candidate for Director stating the information listed below with respect to such nominee and notice of such proposal is given to the Shareholders in accordance with Bye-law 28 at least five Clear Days in advance of the date of such special general meeting: (a) the name and address of the Shareholders who intend to make the nomination; (b) a representation that the Shareholders are holders of shares in the Company and that the Shareholders intend to vote such shares at such meeting; (c) the name, age, business address and residence address of the nominee proposed in the notice; (d) the principal occupation or employment of the nominee;

Vacancy in the Office of Director 47.1 The office of Director shall be vacated if the Director: (a) is removed from office pursuant to these Bye-laws or is prohibited from being a Director by Law; (b) is or becomes bankrupt, or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors generally; (c) is or becomes of unsound mind or dies; (d) resigns his office by written notice to the Company; or (e) on his term of office expiring. 47.2 Any one or more vacancies in the size of the Board resulting from the circumstances described in Bye-law 47.1(a)-(d) shall in each case be deemed Casual Vacancies (and each a “Casual Vacancy”) for the purposes of these Bye-laws. 47.3 Without prejudice to the power of the Shareholders to elect or appoint a Director pursuant to Bye-law 44 and 46.2, and subject always to Bye-law 47.6, the Board shall have power at any time and from time to time to appoint any individual to be a Director so as to fill a Casual Vacancy, provided always that the number of Directors appointed to fill Casual Vacancies shall not exceed more than 50 per cent of the Board size (as determined in accordance with Bye-law 42.1). 47.4 At such time as the number of Board appointments to fill Casual Vacancies equals more than 50 per cent of the Board size (as determined in accordance with Bye-law 42.1), the Board shall forthwith convene a special general meeting in accordance with the Act and these Bye-laws for the purpose of confirming the appointment of each Director.

47.5 Any person appointed to fill a Casual Vacancy shall hold office until the next annual general meeting of the Company but shall be eligible for re-election. 47.6 The Board may act notwithstanding any vacancy in its number but, if and so long as the actual number of Directors in office is reduced below 1/3 of the Board size determined in accordance with Bye-law 42.1, the continuing Directors or Director may act only for the purpose of: (i) summoning a general meeting to appoint new Directors; and (ii) preserving the assets of the Company. 48. Remuneration of Directors 48.1 The amount of any fees payable to Directors shall be determined by the Board upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and shall be deemed to accrue from day to day. Directors who are also employees of a Group Company shall not be paid any such fees by the Company in addition to their remuneration as an employee. 48.2 Any Director who serves on any committee, or who, at the request of the Board, goes or resides outside his home jurisdiction, makes any special journey or otherwise performs services which in the opinion of the Board are outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director, may be paid such remuneration by way of salary, commission or otherwise as the Board may determine in addition to or in lieu of any fee payable to him for his services as Director pursuant to these Bye-laws. 48.3 The Company shall repay to any Director all such reasonable expenses as he may properly incur in the performance of his duties including attending meetings of the Directors or of any committee of the Directors or general meetings or separate meetings of the holders of any class of shares or debentures of the Company or otherwise in or about the business of the Company. 48.4 Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Directors may exercise all the powers of the Company to establish and maintain or procure the establishment and maintenance of any non-contributory or contributory pension or superannuation funds for the benefit of, and give or procure the giving of donations, gratuities, pensions, allowances or emoluments to, any individuals who are or were at any time in the employment or service of or who are or were at any time directors or officers of the Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or any Person which is in any way allied to or associated with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company and the families and dependants of any such individuals, and also establish and subsidise or subscribe to any institutions, associations, clubs or funds calculated to be for the benefit of or to advance the interests and well-being of the Company, any such Subsidiary or Affiliate or any such other Person, or of any such individuals as aforesaid, and, subject to the Act, make payments for or towards the insurance of any such individuals as aforesaid, and do any of the matters aforesaid either alone or in conjunction with any such other Person. 49. Defect in Appointment of Director All acts done in good faith by the Board, any Director, a member of a committee appointed by the Board, any person to whom the Board may have delegated any of its powers or any person acting as an Alternate Director shall, notwithstanding that it be afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any Director or person acting as aforesaid, or that he was, or any of them were disqualified, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and was qualified to be a Director or act in the relevant capacity. 50. Register of Directors and Officers

The Board shall cause to be kept in one or more books at the Registered Office a register of Directors and Officers and shall enter therein the particulars required by the Act. 51.

Notice of Board Meetings A Director or the CEO may, and the Secretary on the requisition of a Director or the CEO shall, at any time summon a meeting of the Board. Any Director may require (by notice in writing submitted to the General Counsel not less than three Business Days prior to the date on which notice of the meeting is issued to the Directors) that there is included in the agenda for a meeting of the Board any matter of business which is appropriate for the consideration of the Directors, (including, without limitation, any matter which may have been delegated by the Board to the Officers from time to time pursuant to the Board Delegation of Authority), in which case that matter shall be included in the notice of the meeting and shall be considered at the meeting of the Board in question. Save in the case of an emergency when notice of a meeting of the Board shall be deemed to be duly given to a Director if it is given to such Director verbally (including in person or by telephone) or otherwise communicated or sent to such Director in writing at such Director's last known address or in accordance with any other instructions given by such Director to the Company for this purpose, all Directors must receive written notice of any meeting of the Board at least five Business Days prior to such meeting, unless the notice requirement is waived by all Directors. A Director present at a meeting of the Board shall be deemed to have waived any irregularity in the giving of notice. 53. Conduct of Board Meetings 53.1 Directors may participate in any Board meeting by such electronic means as permit all persons participating in the meeting to communicate with each other simultaneously and instantaneously, and participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. 53.2 The quorum necessary for the transaction of business at a meeting of the Board shall be the presence in person, or (subject to the provisions of Bye-law 45) represented by his Alternate Director, of the nearest odd number of Directors above 1/2 of the number of Directors in office as at the date of the meeting. 53.3 If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board, then the Directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present. A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of Directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for that meeting. 53.4 Unless otherwise agreed by a majority of the Directors attending, the chairman, if there be one, shall act as chairman at all meetings of the Board at which such person is present. In his or her absence a chairman shall be appointed or elected by the Directors present at the meeting from one of their number. 54. Written Resolutions of the Board

A resolution signed by all the members of the Board, which may be in counterparts, shall be as valid as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Board, duly called and constituted, such resolution to be effective on the date on which the last member signs the resolution. 55. Validity of Prior Acts No Law or alteration to these Bye-laws made by the Company in general meeting shall invalidate any prior act of the Board or the CEO or other Officers which was valid before that Law or alteration was made. ARTICLE X CEO AND OFFICERS 56. Appointment of CEO and Officers 56.1 The Board may appoint such Officers as the Board may determine, which Officers shall include a chairman, CEO, CFO, General Counsel, treasurer and Secretary.

The CEO may also serve as a member of the Board. 56.2 Any person appointed pursuant to this Bye-law 56 shall hold office for such period and upon such terms as the Board may determine and the Board may revoke or terminate any such appointment. Any such revocation or termination shall be without prejudice to any claim for damages that such Officer may have against the Company or the Company may have against such Officer for any breach of any Contract of service between him and the Company which may be involved in such revocation or termination. Save as provided in the Act or these Bye-laws, the powers and duties of the Officers of the Company shall be such (if any) as are determined from time to time by the Board. 57.

ARTICLE XI CONFLICTS OF INTEREST 59. Disclosure of Interests 59.1 Interests of any kind, whether direct or indirect, of the Officers or the Directors in any material transaction or matter (or proposed material transaction or matter) (in each case, as determined by the General Counsel) or any transaction or matter (or proposed transaction or matter) to be considered by the Board in respect of the Company or any Group Company must be fully disclosed to the Board as required by the Act in all material respects at the first opportunity at a meeting of the Board and prior to any discussion of, or voting on, such transaction or matter by the Board. 59.2 Following a declaration being made pursuant to Bye-law 59.1, a Director may not vote in respect of any Contract, transaction or arrangement or any proposed Contract, transaction or arrangement in which such Director has an interest.

ANNEXURE C
STATEMENT PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 79 OF THE ACT
AND INFORMATION ON THE NOMINEES PROPOSED BY THE MINORITY SHAREHOLDER GROUP SEEKING APPOINTMENT TO THE BOARD OF VEON LTD.
11 March 2021
Dear fellow shareholders,
As a group of long-term investors in VEON holding about 7.38% of the Company’s shares, we would like to propose the nomination and election of Mr. Vasily Sidorov and [WITHDRAWN] as independent candidates to the Board of VEON, either through the addition of board or by way of replacement of outgoing Board member(s), if any.
Over the course of its complicated history VEON has faced a few major setbacks. This was a combination of macro-economic events, regulatory and legal challenges, ownership disputes, underinvestment in network, lack of management continuity and execution etc. All of that has had a detrimental effect on the shareholder value, as we all know.
However, we hope the worst is now behind the Company. In the last few years, we have seen multiple strong steps to return the company on the path of value creation. This included resolution of various legal disputes, disposal of stake in Italy at premium valuation, enhancement of top- and operating-level management, step up of network investment, addressing, significant HQ cost reduction and so on. We also think the current management team under the leadership of Kaan Terzioglu and Sergi Herrero is the best this Company has had over many years, with the right execution strategy and realistic vision.
We believe that at this point the Company would benefit from greater representation of institutional investors on the Board of Directors. Given the recent significant increase in VEON’s free float to 43.8%, we believe it would be the perfect time to enhance the Board with independent members nominated directly by institutional minority shareholders. This would not only serve to improve the company’s transparency and communication with investor community, but also help to align the Board’s composition more closely with the interests of all shareholders.
Considering the UN’s Principles of Responsible Investment requiring shareholders to be active owners, file resolutions and engage with companies, and promote Boards’ diversity, the addition of the new Independent Board members proposed by minority shareholders and elected during the next AGM would strongly highlight the Board diversity, professionalism and ability to act in the interest of all shareholders.
Messrs Sidorov and [WITHDRAWN] are both independent candidates. We are not aware of any circumstances which impair, or could appear to impair, their independence. And in that sense, we are not aware of any their relevant connections with large shareholders of the company, including the nominating investors.
Mr. Sidorov is an experienced professional who served for over 25 years both in top management and non-executive directorship capacities in telecoms, digital and other industries. His most important executive roles included being the President and CEO of MTS, 2003-2006; CFO of Svyazinvest (Russia) in 1997-2000 and First VP for Finance & Investments at Sistema-Telecom (Russia) in 2000 - 2003. He was also a key investor and founder of a number of telecoms-related businesses and non-executive director at a number of tech ventures. He has also served on boards of large public and non-public corporations, such as Russian Railways, Aeroflot and Russian Post.
Throughout his career he has built multi-functional expertise at both executive and non-executive levels of corporate governance. He is currently a principal venture capital, private equity and special situations investor in Russia, Continental Europe, the US, as well as several frontier markets. We believe that he has a high level of understanding of business drivers and strategic challenges faced by VEON within the global context.
[WITHDRAWN].
We are confident about the long-term business prospects and significant valuation upside as the company continues to improve its operational execution and corporate governance, and we are confident that Mr. Sidorov and [WITHDRAWN] can make a positive impact for company’s value and serve interests of all shareholders.
We therefore look forward to your support in electing the proposed independent candidates.
