by the Company to ascertain such facts and to verify the accuracy of all such information and statements. The

these Listing Particulars at any time does not imply that the information contained in it is correct as at any time
subsequent to its date. Neither the delivery of these Listing Particulars nor the offering, sale or delivery of any

None of the Issuer, the Company, the Joint Lead Managers, the Trustee or any of their respective representatives

investor should consult with its own advisers as to the legal, tax, business, financial and related aspects of the
purchase of the Notes.
i




Prospective purchasers must comply with all laws that apply to them in any place in which they buy, offer or
sell any Notes or possess these Listing Particulars. Any consents or approvals that are needed in order to
purchase any Notes must be obtained. The Issuer, the Company, the Joint Lead Managers and the Trustee are
not responsible for compliance with these legal requirements. The appropriate characterisation of the Notes
under various legal investment restrictions, and thus the ability of investors subject to these restrictions to
purchase the Notes, is subject to significant interpretative uncertainties. No representation or warranty is made
as to whether, or the extent to which, the Notes constitute a legal investment for investors whose investment
authority is subject to legal restrictions, and investors should consult their legal advisers regarding such matters.
In connection with the issue of the Notes, J.P. Morgan Securities plc (the "Stabilisation Manager") (or any
person acting on behalf of the Stabilisation Manager) may over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view
to supporting the market price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However,
there is no assurance that the Stabilisation Manager (or any person acting on behalf of the Stabilisation
Manager) will undertake stabilisation action. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which
adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the Notes is made and, if begun, may be ended at any
time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the Issue Date of the Notes and 60 days after the
date of the allotment of the Notes. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must be conducted by the
Stabilisation Manager (or any person acting on behalf of the Stabilisation Manager) in accordance with all
applicable laws and rules.
The contents of the Company's website do not form any part of these Listing Particulars.
No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made by the Joint Lead Managers, the Trustee or any of
their respective affiliates or any person acting on their behalf as to the accuracy or completeness of the
information set forth in these Listing Particulars. Nothing contained in these Listing Particulars is, or shall be
relied upon as, a promise or representation, whether as to the past or the future.
Each person receiving these Listing Particulars acknowledges that such person has not relied on the Joint Lead
Managers, the Trustee or any of their respective affiliates or any person acting on their behalf in connection
with its investigation of the accuracy or completeness of such information or its investment decision. Each
person contemplating making an investment in the Notes from time to time must make its own investigation
and analysis of the creditworthiness of the Company and the Group and its own determination of the suitability
of any such investment, with particular reference to its own investment objectives and experience, and any other
factors which may be relevant to it in connection with such investment.
MiFID II product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market ­ Solely for the
purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes
has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional
clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible
counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or
recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market
assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment)
and determining appropriate distribution channels.
Prohibition of sales to EEA and the United Kingdom retail investors ­ The Notes are not intended to be
offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any
retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA") or in the United Kingdom. For these purposes, a retail
investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of
MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not
qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently, no key
ii



information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for
offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or in the United
Kingdom has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to
any retail investor in the EEA or in the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
These Listing Particulars contain "forward-looking statements" which relate, without limitation, to any of the
Company's or the Group's plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenue or performance,
capital expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions, competitive strengths and
weaknesses, plans or goals relating to financial performance and future operations and development, business
strategy and the trends in the industry and the political and legal environment in which the Group operates and
other information that is not historical information. The words "anticipates", "estimates", "expects", "believes",
"intends", "plans", "may", "will", "should" and any similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements
may be used herein. Prospective purchasers of the Notes are cautioned that actual results could differ materially
from those anticipated in forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in these
Listing Particulars are largely based on the Group's expectations, which reflect estimates and assumptions made
by the Group's management. These estimates and assumptions reflect the Group's best judgement based on
currently known market conditions and other factors, some of which are discussed below. Although the Group
believes such estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number
of risks and uncertainties that are beyond the Group's control. In addition, assumptions about future events may
prove to be inaccurate. The Group cautions prospective purchasers of the Notes that the forward-looking
statements contained in these Listing Particulars are not guarantees of outcomes of future performance and the
Group cannot assure any prospective purchasers of the Notes that such statements will be realised or the
forward-looking events and circumstances will occur.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and
specific, many of which are beyond the Group's control and risks exist that the predictions, forecasts,
projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved. These risks, uncertainties and other
factors include, among other things, those described in the section headed "Risk Factors", as well as those
included elsewhere in these Listing Particulars. Prospective purchasers of the Notes should be aware that a
number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the plans, objectives,
expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements.
When relying on forward-looking statements, prospective purchasers of the Notes should carefully consider the
foregoing factors and other uncertainties and events, especially in light of the political, economic, social and
legal environment in which the Group operates. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on
which they are made. Accordingly, the Group does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of them,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The Group does not make any representation,
warranty or prediction that the results anticipated by such forward-looking statements will be achieved and such
forward-looking statements represent, in each case, only one of many possible scenarios and should not be
viewed as the most likely or standard scenario. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking
statements attributable to the Group or persons acting on its behalf.

The financial information (i) as of and for the years ended 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2018 set forth
herein, unless otherwise indicated, has been derived from the Group's audited consolidated financial statements
as of and for the years ended 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2018 as set forth on pages F-24 to F-105 in
these Listing Particulars (the "Annual Consolidated Financial Statements") and (ii) as of and for the nine
months ended 30 September 2019 set forth herein, unless otherwise indicated, has been derived from the
Group's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information as of and for the nine months ended
30 September 2019, as set forth on pages F-2 to F-23 in these Listing Particulars (the "Interim Consolidated
Financial Information" and together with the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements, the "Financial
Statements"). The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Interim
Consolidated Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard
34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The Group adopted IFRS 16 Leases ("IFRS 16") from 1 January 2018, but has not restated comparatives for
the 2017 reporting period, as permitted under the specific transitional provisions. The adoption of IFRS 16 had
an impact on the reported assets, liabilities and income statement of the Group which affects comparability of
consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2018, In
particular, as a consequence of adopting IFRS 16, the Group's total assets and liabilities increased as the
associated right of use with leases, and the corresponding liability, previously treated as operating leases,
became recognised on the statement of financial position. In addition, operating lease expenses were replaced
with depreciation on the right of use asset and interest expense on the lease liabilities.
The Issuer is a special-purpose vehicle established to raise funds by the issuance of debt securities and to use
the proceeds of each such issuance to make loans to the Company. Since its date of incorporation, save as
disclosed herein, the Issuer has not commenced operations and no financial statements of the Issuer have been
prepared as of the date of these Listing Particulars. Following the offering, the Issuer's only material liabilities
will be its liabilities under the Notes, and its only material assets will be the Loan to the Company pursuant to
the Loan Agreement. For an overview of the Issuer, see "Description Of The Issuer".
Non-IFRS Information and other operating data
These Listing Particulars contain certain financial measures and alternative performance measures/metrics that
are not required by, defined or presented in accordance with IFRS, including the items listed below in this
section. Information regarding these measures is useful to the Group's business managers and may sometimes
be used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as a supplemental measure of performance
and liquidity. There are no generally accepted principles governing the calculation of these measures and the
criteria upon which these measures are based can vary from company to company. These measures, by
themselves, do not provide a sufficient basis to compare the Group's performance with that of similarly titled
measures of other companies and have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation
or as a substitute for an analysis of the Group's performance and liquidity measures under IFRS. Furthermore,
these items are unaudited and therefore undue reliance should not be placed on them.
Non-IFRS measures (other than ARPU measures)
OIBDA and OIBDA Margin, Operating Free Cash Flow, Total Debt, Net Debt and Net Debt/OIBDA are widely
used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties for evaluating the profitability and liquidity of
v



companies in the telecommunications industry. Therefore, Group management closely monitor the Group's
OIBDA and OIBDA Margin as key measures of the Group's financial performance. OIBDA eliminates potential
differences in performance caused by variations in capital structures (affecting net finance costs), tax positions,
the cost and age of tangible and intangible assets including leases (affecting depreciation expense and
amortization expenses). The purpose of operating free cash flow is to indicate the ongoing cash generation
within the control of the Group after taking account of necessary cash expenditures of maintaining the capital
and operating structure of the Group.
Net debt is an indicator of the Group's indebtedness, financial flexibility and capital structure. It indicates the
level of borrowings after taking account cash and cash equivalents within the Group's business that could be
used to pay down outstanding borrowings. The Group believes that the Pro forma Adjusted Total Debt to LTM
OIBDA, Pro forma Adjusted Net Debt to LTM OIBDA and Net Debt/OIBDA ratio are commonly used by
securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of a Group's leverage, which would
be expected to be more pertinent after consummation of the Offering.
The Group also presents its Last Twelve Months financial data ("LTM") for Revenue, OIBDA, OIBDA Margin,
Capital Expenditures, Operating Free Cash Flow and Profit for the Period. LTM is a useful indicator of the
Group's most recent performance and should indicate the Group's current trends that are not inappropriately
influenced or distorted by factors such as seasonality or brief market or economic downturns.
The Group calculates these measures and certain ratios relating to these measures as follows:

OIBDA by adding back depreciation and amortization, finance income and finance costs, currency
exchange gain or loss, and other non-operating expenses (income) and charges for income tax, to the
Group's consolidated profit for the period. Note that "Consolidated EBITDA", as calculated in
accordance with the definitions set out in the Loan Agreement, is identical to the Group's OIBDA for
the periods presented in these Listing Particulars.

OIBDA Margin is the ratio of OIBDA to the Group's total revenue.

Capital expenditures comprised of purchases of property, plant and equipment plus purchases of other
intangible assets (excl. costs to obtain contracts) plus the purchase of 4G licenses, if any.

Operating Free Cash Flow is represented by net cash flow from operating activities minus capital
expenditures.

Total Debt is the sum of Notes payables, related parties, borrowings and lease obligations, current and
non-current portions.

Net Debt is the Total Debt minus cash and cash equivalents.

LTM data is derived by subtracting the comparative figures for the nine months ended 30 September
2018 from the figures for the year ended 31 December 2018 and adding the figures for the nine months
ended 30 September 2019.

Net Debt/OIBDA ratio is calculated as Net debt as of the end of the relevant period divided by OIBDA
for the relevant period. The Loan Agreement includes a Consolidated Leverage Ratio which is equal to
Net Debt/OIBDA calculated below in these Listing Particulars.

Pro forma Adjusted Total Debt and Pro forma Adjusted Net Debt are calculated by adding financial
indebtedness of US$500 million incurred under the Loan in connection with the Offering to the amounts
of Total Debt and Net Debt, respectively, as at 30 September 2019, converted to UAH using NBU
exchange rate of UAH 24.08 set as at 30 September 2019. See "Capitalisation."

None of these are measures of financial performance under IFRS; they are solely derived from management's
accounts and estimates and as such may not be comparable to similar titled measures used by other companies.
Therefore you should not consider the Group's reported OIBDA or OIBDA Margin and Operating Free Cash
Flow as substitutes for performance and liquidity measures reported in the Financial Statements. OIBDA and
Operating Free Cash Flow have limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are:

they do not reflect the Group's cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditure or
contractual commitments;

they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Group's working capital needs;

they do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest
or principal payments, on the Group's debt;

although depreciation and amortisation are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortised
will often have to be replaced in the future, and OIBDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such
replacements; and

they are not adjusted for all cash and non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in the Group's
statements of cash flows.
ARPU measures
Throughout these Listing Particulars, a "subscriber" is considered to be a SIM-card that is held by an
organisation or individual over the course of any three-month period, inclusive within the reporting period, who
was not blocked at the end of that period, and whose SIM-card (i) showed traffic-generating activity or (ii)
accrued a balance for services rendered or (iii) was replenished or topped up.
The Group uses the term average revenue per user ("ARPU") to refer to the average revenue per subscriber, for
a period by dividing total revenue for such period (excluding VAT) by the average number of subscribers in that
period.
In the Group's ARPU calculations, individual customers using multiple SIM cards would appear as more than
one subscriber. Because the Group's definition of a subscriber and calculation approach to ARPU may differ
from other companies within the telecommunications industry, you should use caution in comparing the Group's
ARPU figures to other companies.
