Company Profile VimpelCom is one of the world’s largest integrated telecommunications services operators providing voice and data services through a range of traditional and broadband mobile and fixed technologies in 18 countries covering territory with a total population of approximately 782 million people. The Company’s management and reporting structure is divided into five business units – Russia, Europe & North America, Africa & Asia, Ukraine and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), all of which report to the Company’s headquarters in Amsterdam. VimpelCom Ltd. is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “VIP”. With annual 2011 actual revenue of USD 20.3 billion, EBITDA of USD 8.1 billion, and a mobile subscriber base of 205 million (as of December 31, 2011), we have established the scale for successful growth and development of our group of companies going forward. The organizational integration process with Wind Telecom was completed at the end of 2011, allowing VimpelCom to start 2012 with full focus on delivering the Company’s Value Agenda. Our Value Agenda is essentially built on one overarching goal for the Group from 2012 to 2014 – to steadily improve net cash from operating activities by delivering: • Pro table growth, • Operational excellence, and • Capital efficiency

One value agenda Key Strategic Points – 2012-2014 VimpelCom’s strategy focuses on sustainable profitable growth. Our businesses combine mature, strong cash-generating companies with emerging growth opportunities in a number of regions. We also combine strong and growing positions in both mobile and fixed broadband businesses, which we expect will further support our growth strategy as these services continue to expand across our markets. We seek to capture profitable growth in mobile data, fixed data and mobile voice, by tailoring our strategy in each individual market according to its development characteristics. Our strategy is based on our belief that profitable growth will be driven by targeting high value customers, bundling services, achieving greater speed and access of data and retaining customers. In data in particular, our focus will be on capturing the growth in this segment of the market by moving away from unlimited plans to tiered pricing, rationally managing traffic and differentiating our services through more sophisticated offerings.

Our grouped strategy according to drive to growth their different broadly stages comprises of development: three types of businesses • In our larger and more mature markets, Russia and Italy, we are focused on increasing profits and increasing cash flows. These markets are highly penetrated, but have strong potential for broadband growth both in fixed and in mobile. Here, we will remain focused on reinforcing our solid market positions and sustained cash flow generation. • We consider our “growth engine” to be developing markets in the Ukraine, CIS, Algeria, Pakistan and Bangladesh. These markets each have a large potential customer base, high revenue growth from relatively low penetration and significant growth potential for mobile data. In these markets, we will seek to utilize our knowledge and experience in Russia and Italy to capture this growth. • Finally, we have early stage operations, such as in Canada and some Asian and African markets, which would require further investment to reach their full potential. We are performing a strategic contribution analysis of these operations to determine the next steps for these markets going forward. Furthermore, we seek to enhance our local competitive positions by sharing experience, knowledge and product offerings throughout the Group. This broader view of the business provides the basis for our strategy: the Value Agenda 2012-2014. Our Value Agenda is based on local empowerment of the Business Units and starts with the Company’s 205 million mobile customers (as of December 31, 2011). At the Group headquarters level in Amsterdam, VimpelCom is a lean organization focused on value creation through enhanced portfolio management, financial structuring, and synergies of shared services, such as roaming and procurement. Headquarters sets financial and operating targets and the Business Units will be responsible for execution on targets through the Value Agenda and entrepreneurial spirit. Our Value Agenda has the following three key pillars: • Pro table Growth: We aim to drive revenue growth that leads to profitability by focusing on higher value customers, speed of data access as a differentiating factor, and achieving smarter mobile data monetization. • Operational Excellence: We are focused on cost efficiency programs in both larger and smaller markets, as well as increased focus on customer retention. • Capital Efficiency: Our goal is to reduce the ratio of our capital expenditure to revenues over time by deploying capital more efficiently, including through centralized procurement management and other methods of realizing greater synergy. Through financial this performance Value Agenda, objectives the Company from 2012 aims to 2014, to achieve including: the following • Revenue and EBITDA CAGR of approximately mid single digit growth; • Capex/Revenue (excluding licenses) below 15% by the end of 2014; and • Net Debt/EBITDA below 2.0 by the end of 2014. The Company also intends to make dividend payments of at least USD 0.80 per common share per annum between 2011 and 2013. For full details of the dividend policy, please refer to www.vimpelcom.com.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER One global company… 2011 was a transformational year for VimpelCom. By executing on our well-defined strategy, we became one of the world’s largest, most diversified and integrated global telecommunications operators – a combined group of businesses with strong local expertise in our markets, and a shared commitment across all of our markets to operational excellence. Inspired by the pioneering spirit of the Company’s founders, and with a clear vision for the future of global telecommunications, VimpelCom was transformed from several regional players into one diversified global platform. The acquisition of Wind Telecom, which closed in April of 2011, was the culminating transaction in this transformation, but it was only the next milestone of our evolution as we persevere in our mission to find and exploit growth opportunities. Significant synergies were achieved through this combination, and we once again committed ourselves to leveraging our deep expertise in the local markets in which we operate in order to continue to position our company for long-term success. Our mission remains to deliver long-term value for shareholders. With operations in 18 countries covering a total population of about 782 million people, we have significantly strengthened the power of our platform and have positioned the Company to effectively leverage the strengths of our scale and local market expertise. To achieve our mission, we have instituted a decentralized model based on our fundamental belief that all business is local. We have empowered our people to delight our customers locally, and we are achieving success through our local brands and expertise, while supporting our broader goals in each individual market. Following a thorough strategy review in 2011 focused on driving long-term value, we have defined and implemented a comprehensive and cohesive company-wide strategy – our Value Agenda. 16 VimpelCom 2011 Annual Report

Our first proof point demonstrating the power of this equation was when VimpelCom achieved, and then surpassed, 200 million mobile subscribers in 2011. Each one of our customers chose a local service provider based on superior customer experience and a trusted brand that represents quality – “Beeline”, “Kyivstar”, “djuice”, “Wind”, “Infostrada”, “Mobilink”, “Leo”, “banglalink”, “Telecel”, or “Djezzy” – and they did so in a variety of attractive developed and emerging markets – Russia, Italy, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Cambodia, Laos, Algeria, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Burundi, Zimbabwe, Central African Republic and Canada. This rich diversity is what differentiates VimpelCom – our local presence and expertise. The Company’s operations are managed by some of the most experienced, talented people in the industry, each of whom has deep knowledge of his or her local market. We believe that empowering local management, by giving the business units the necessary tools, budget and authority to succeed, enables our local brands and cultures to thrive. These local businesses are supported by a lean, dedicated organization at the Group headquarters level, focused on value creation through operational excellence across markets, shared services and the extraction of synergies, and capital efficiency. This is the underlying strategic platform that drives VimpelCom’s Value Agenda going forward in today’s dynamic telecommunications landscape. Our Value Agenda, presented during our Analyst and Investor Day on November 15, 2011 is centered around one core element – enhanced cash flow generation. The building blocks for achieving this are: • Pro table growth – driving revenue growth that leads to profitability by focusing on higher value customers, speed of data access as a differentiating factor, and achieving smarter mobile data monetization; • Operational excellence – focusing on cost efficiency programs, as well as increased focus on customer retention; and • Capital efficiency – reducing Capex to revenues over time by deploying capital more efficiently through centralized procurement management and achieving ongoing synergies between our businesses, while reducing overall working capital and funding costs. At VimpelCom, these are the building blocks for driving value for our shareholders, and they are the factors by which we are committed to delivering long-term value. Our commitment to driving value is clearly demonstrated in our goal to deliver dividends of at least USD 0.80 per common share per annum between 2011 and 2013. Thank you for being an integral part of VimpelCom’s transformation this year. We look forward to capitalizing on the continued evolution of telecommunications, and to delivering profitable growth and shareholder value in the coming year and into the future. Augie K.

Business review continued Europe & North America In 2011, Italy delivered solid performance despite the macroeconomic and regulatory challenges. We have continuously outperformed our competitors and are ideally positioned to benefit from new growth areas going forward. Our full focus is and remains on providing value for money, high quality services to our customers. Maximo Ibarra Head of Italy Key facts EUR mln 2011 2010 YoY Revenue 5,570 5,514 +1% EBITDA 2,120 2,130 0% EBITDA margin 38.1% 38.6% Mobile subscribers (’000) 21,014 19,933 +5% Fixed voice subscribers (’000) 3,142 3,003 +5% Fixed broadband subscribers (’000) 2,135 1,912 +12% Business Unit strategy In Italy we aim to defend and leverage our core customer segments and increase the value of the WIND community. We will focus on growing our market share in the post-paid mobile subscriber segment and fixed broadband segment, expanding and capturing the opportunities offered by mobile internet and mobile data, and strengthening our presence in the business segment. These initiatives will be supported by investments in network, distribution and brand. In Canada, our goal is to provide a value for money alternative to the incumbent operators by offering a nationwide high quality and affordable mobile service. Priorities • Capture data growth potential • Grow share in select market segments • Maintain excellence in customer service and market leadership positions • Continue providing high quality, value for money services Fixed 12% broadband subscribers in 2011 up The year in review WIND continued to outperform the Italian market in 2011, delivering strong results despite ongoing competitive pressure, regulatory headwinds and macroeconomic uncertainties. Against this backdrop, WIND further strengthened its competitive position in both mobile and fixed-line services, achieving increased market share in both segments*. WIND’s revenues in 2011 grew 1% to 5.6 billion euro mainly driven by the strong performance recorded by the fixed line business while mobile service revenues were impacted by a cut in termination rates, net of which, mobile revenues would have increased by 2%. EBITDA was stable over the previous year with revenue growth offset by increases in costs, mainly related to the higher unbundling fees paid to the incumbent operator and commercial costs to further develop our business. As part of the operational excellence program, WIND also launched a number of initiatives to further enhance efficiency. Additionally, in 2011, WIND continued to invest in key strategic areas primarily related to the strong growth opportunity in data services. Investments included further expansion of HSDPA mobile data network coverage, unbundling of new LLU sites and increasing backhaul capacity. WIND was also awarded two blocks of 800MHz spectrum and four consecutive blocks of 2,600MHz spectrum, in the 4G/LTE frequency auction took place in 2011, for a total expenditure of 1.1 billion euro, which will support our ability to capture opportunities offered by the strong growth in data in the coming years. WIND closed 2011 with over 21 million mobile subscribers, 3.14 million fixed-line voice subscribers and 2.14 million fixed broadband subscribers. In mobile, growth was driven by positive trends in the traditional pre-paid market segment, coupled with an increased focus on the high value postpaid segment. A key driver was also mobile internet, which continued to deliver impressive growth as new *Source: “International Communications Market Report”, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, IDC, ISTAT, Company data

devices, such as smartphones and tablets, become widespread. In fixed-line, growth was driven by the success of WIND’s dual-play offerings, as well as by broadband connections. The strong results achieved in 2011 are a testament to the success of WIND’s products and services, which are tailored to meet customer needs and are highly transparent. WIND is already a strong cash flow generator and going forward we will remain focused on sustained cash flow generation. revenue Focus on growth ensuring sustainable During the course of 2011, WIND delivered a stable revenue stream in a highly competitive market and continued to deliver solid margins, in particular in mobile where we enjoy the highest margin amongst third entrants in Europe**. WIND aims to continue delivering sustainable profitable growth going forward by maintaining its positioning in key areas and by selectively focusing on new growth areas. At the same time WIND will maintain its focus on operational excellence, through initiatives aimed at preserving its leadership in customer satisfaction and at achieving cost efficiencies.

In terms of growth opportunities we plan to increase our focus on select segments of the market where WIND currently has less than its fair share of the market. In particular, the corporate segment represents a key growth opportunity for WIND, both for SME/SOHOs (Small Office/Home Office) and large corporates, which we are targeting through a dedicated division. We also aim to increase our share in certain geographic locations in Italy where the incumbents enjoy a stronger position and will do this by leveraging our strong distribution and brand. Operational excellence WIND and Infostrada have consistently ranked in the highest levels of customer service. Looking ahead as we focus on operational excellence, WIND will continue to dedicate significant resources to maintaining one of the highest levels of customer service in the market. Additionally, as part of the Operational Excellence program, WIND launched a number of initiatives to further enhance the company’s efficiency. We plan to effectively leverage our extensive network coverage to serve fixed, mobile and convergent strategies while unlocking value through initiatives aimed at achieving higher efficiencies in the network. Capital efficiency As we continue to invest we will benefit from the synergies and scale made possible by the broader VimpelCom Group and will selectively explore alternative structures to optimize network costs. WIND will continue to focus its investments in data services where our goal is to remain a leading player in this market by leveraging our extensive experience in this field, coupled with future investments. The significant investments made in LTE/4G spectrum are a clear indication of the importance of the data story for WIND and will support our positioning going forward. **Source: Merrill Lynch report “European Telecoms Matrix Q4 2011 – signs of bottoming out” www.vimpelcom.com 25
