Amsterdam, Dubai and Islamabad, 5 December 2024 – VEON Ltd. (Nasdaq: VEON), a global digital operator ("VEON" or the "Company"), announces that it is entering into a strategic partnership with Engro Corporation Limited ("Engro Corp") with respect to the pooling and management of its infrastructure assets, starting in Pakistan.

阿姆斯特丹、迪拜和伊斯蘭堡,2024年12月5日 – veon ltd.(納斯達克:VEON),一家全球數字運營商("VEON"或"公司"),宣佈與昂國企業有限公司("Engro Corp")建立戰略合作關係,涉及基礎設施資產的聯合管理,首先在巴基斯坦。

In the first phase of the partnership, VEON's infrastructure assets housed under Deodar (Private) Limited ("Deodar"), a VEON Group company wholly owned by VEON through its subsidiary PMCL, will vest into Engro Corp's subsidiary, Engro Connect, via a scheme of arrangement. VEON's digital operator Jazz will continue to lease Deodar's extensive infrastructure for the provision of nationwide mobile voice and data services under a long-term partnership agreement.

在合作伙伴關係的第一階段,veon在德奧德(私人)有限公司("Deodar")下擁有的基礎設施資產將通過安排方案轉讓給昂國公司的子公司昂國連接。veon的數字運營商Jazz將繼續租用Deodar的廣泛基礎設施,以提供全國範圍的移動語音和數據服務,基於長期合作協議。

The partnership marks a significant milestone in VEON's asset-light strategy, aimed at increasing the Company's focus on the development of services-focused businesses in line with VEON's digital operator model. The arrangement is subject to the customary legal and regulatory approvals in Pakistan. As part of the arrangement, Engro will pay Jazz an amount of approximately USD 188 million and will guarantee the repayment of Deodar's intercompany debt in the amount of USD 375 million.

這一合作標誌着veon資產輕型策略的重要里程碑,旨在增加公司對基於服務的業務發展的關注,與veon的數字運營商模式保持一致。該安排需獲得巴基斯坦的常規法律和監管批准。根據該安排,昂國將向Jazz支付約18800萬美元,並將保證償還Deodar的公司間債務,金額爲37500萬美元。

"This strategic partnership is a pivotal move in advancing VEON's asset-light strategy. The traditional vertically integrated telco model is no longer viable for operators, neither is it conducive to the sustainable growth of developing economies. Our collaboration with Engro Corp, starting in Pakistan, our largest market, will empower Jazz to focus on innovative digital services and cutting-edge technologies that serve Pakistan's digital ambition. It will also help VEON showcase the wide range of opportunities for shareholder value creation and new business models across our markets," said Kaan Terzioglu, VEON Group CEO and Chairman of Jazz Board.

"這一戰略合作關係是推進veon資產輕型策略的重要舉措。傳統的垂直整合電信模型對運營商來說已不再可行,也不利於發展中經濟體的可持續增長。我們與昂國公司的合作,從巴基斯坦開始,這是我們最大的市場,將使Jazz能夠專注於創新的數字服務和前沿技術,以滿足巴基斯坦的數字願景。它還將幫助veon展示在我們市場中創造股東價值和新商業模式的廣泛機會," veon集團首席執行官兼Jazz董事會主席卡恩·特爾齊奧格魯表示。

"This deal reflects Engro's continued passion to address pressing issues through impactful infrastructure – in particular by enabling low-cost, high-quality connectivity, which is a cornerstone of progress. This partnership will benefit the broader telecom ecosystem in Pakistan: By utilizing Engro's infrastructure, all players in the telecommunications ecosystem can focus on delivering enhanced services and expanding coverage. The wider capability that will emerge out of this partnership will help us empower communities through better and more affordable connectivity, while contributing to the broader digital transformation in Pakistan and beyond" said Abdul Samad Dawood, Director of Engro Corporation.

"這項交易反映了昂國企業持續關注通過有影響力的基礎設施解決緊迫問題的熱情——特別是通過提供低成本、高質量的連接,這是進步的基石。這個合作關係將使巴基斯坦更廣泛的電信生態系統受益:通過利用昂國企業的基礎設施,電信生態系統中的所有參與者都可以專注於提供增強的服務和擴展覆蓋範圍。由此合作關係所產生的更廣泛能力將幫助我們通過更好、更實惠的連接來賦能社區,同時促進巴基斯坦及更廣泛地區的數字化轉型",昂國企業的董事阿卜杜勒·薩馬德·達伍德說。
