VIMPELCOM’S SUBSIDIARY WIND ACQUISITION FINANCE

PRICES EUR 3.8 BILLION SENIOR NOTES

FOR REFINANCING EUR 4.0 BILLION OF DEBT

Amsterdam (April 8, 2014) - “VimpelCom Ltd.” (VimpelCom”, Company” or Group”) (NASDAQ: VIP) announced today planned improvements in the capital structure of its indirectly owned subsidiaries WIND Telecomunicazioni S.p.A. (“WIND”) and Wind Acquisition Finance S.A. (“WAF”).

WAF priced a total of EUR 3,779 million (equivalent) Senior Notes due 2021 in a combination of EUR 1,750 million 7.00% EURO-­ denominated Senior Notes and of EUR 2,029 million (equivalent) 7.375% USD-denominated Senior Notes.

As announced on March 19, WAF intends to apply a portion of the net proceeds of this offering to refinance its junior secured 11.75% notes maturing in 2017 of EUR 2.7 billion. The remaining proceeds, along with a EUR 500 million indirect cash injection from VimpelCom, will allow Wind Acquisition Holdings Finance S.A. to redeem its 12.25% notes maturing in 2017 of EUR 1.3 billion. The EUR 500 million cash injection is conditioned upon the completion of the offering.

The aim of the refinancing plan is to provide WAF and WIND with a sustainable, manageable capital structure with an extended maturity profile and significant interest cost savings resulting in stronger cash flows, which will facilitate a deleveraging trajectory of WAF and WIND.
