Commenting on the performance of the Company, Boris Nemsic, Chief Executive Officer of VimpelCom, said, “During the third quarter we continued to demonstrate growth in challenging market conditions and delivered a record 71.3 billion rubles in revenues and 36.0 billion rubles in OIBDA with a consolidated fixed and mobile OIBDA margin of 50.4%.

We are particularly pleased with the OIBDA performance which demonstrates our ability to increase revenues and control costs in the new economic environment.

The number of active mobile subscribers reached 65.4 million, which is 13% more than we had a year ago. We serve 1.9 million fixed and mobile broadband subscribers, which makes us one of the largest broadband providers in Russia and the CIS.

Stable operational cash flow strengthened our financial position. As of today, we have repaid more than $2 billion dollars of our debt and fully funded capital expenditures. We continue to optimize our debt portfolio with the non-ruble portion of our debt decreasing to 76% of our total debt, compared with 85% at the beginning of the year.

On October 5th, 2009, Altimo and Telenor agreed to combine their interests in VimpelCom and Kyivstar, paving the way for the creation of one of the largest telecom operators in the emerging markets. Management of VimpelCom welcomes this transaction and believes that the transaction, when completed, will bring benefits to our shareholders, employees and customers”.

The quarterly net operating revenues increased by 3.5% year-on-year and 3.3% as compared with the previous quarter demonstrating the strength of our core business.

Continued focus on operational efficiency helped us to maintain a strong consolidated fixed and mobile OIBDA margin of 50.4%.

We continue to maintain solid operational cash flow, which provides a basis for further investment in the development of our business. We invested 3.8 billion rubles during the third quarter of 2009. Taking into consideration the further strengthening of the Russian ruble, we have recalculated our CAPEX guidance for 2009 and expect CAPEX to be in the range of 10%-12% of our 2009 annual revenue.

Our quarterly net operating revenues in Russia amounted to 61.2 billion rubles, growing 3.5% quarter-on-quarter. The quarterly net operating revenues in Russia grew 4.1% compared to the exceptionally strong third quarter of 2008, when we reported high revenues from roaming and handset sales.

The total Russia fixed and mobile OIBDA increased 5.1% year-on-year and reached 30.9 billion rubles with a total fixed and mobile OIBDA margin of 50.6%.

In the mobile segment our revenues increased by 4.2% quarter-on-quarter. Slight upward trends in usage coupled with a seasonal increase from roaming led to an increase in ARPU of 2.8%.

Our fixed-line revenues increased by 4.4% quarter-on-quarter. A seasonal decline in the usage by business customers during the summer months was offset by increasing wholesale revenues, which grew by 13.3% quarter-on-quarter. The fixed-line OIBDA margin decreased quarter-on-quarter from 29.6% to 26.4%. As a result the quarterly fixed-line revenues were also impacted by the appreciation of the Russian ruble as part of our contracts in the business segment are denominated in US dollars and Euro.

In the third quarter of 2009 the total number of residential broadband subscribers in Russia, including FTTB and mobile broadband, reached 1.8 million, a 140% increase year-on-year and a 10% increase quarter-on-quarter.

- Definitions and tables are attached -

Attachment A: Definitions

Mobile subscribers are those subscribers in the registered subscriber base who were a party to a revenue generating activity in the past three months and remain in the base at the end of the reported period, except for the subscriber base in Cambodia which is calculated on a one month basis. Such activities include all incoming and outgoing calls, subscriber fee accruals, debits related to service, outgoing SMS, MMS, data transmission and receipt sessions, but do not include incoming SMS and MMS sent by our Company or abandoned calls. Total number of mobile subscribers also includes subscribers using mobile internet service via USB modems.

Each ADS represents 0.05 of one share of common stock. This ratio was established effective August 21, 2007.

ARPU (Monthly Average Revenue per User), a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, is calculated by dividing the Company’s service revenue during the relevant period, including roaming revenue and interconnect revenue, but excluding revenue from connection fees, sales of handsets and accessories and other non-service revenue, by the average number of the Company’s subscribers during the period and dividing by the number of months in that period. The Company believes that ARPU provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the performance of the Company’s business operations and assists management in budgeting. The Company also believes that ARPU provides management with useful information concerning usage and acceptance of the Company’s services. ARPU should not be viewed in isolation or an alternative to other figures reported under U.S. GAAP.

Broadband subscribers are those subscribers in the registered subscriber base who were a party to a revenue generating activity in the past three months. Such activities include monthly internet access using FTTB, xDSL and WiFi technologies as well as mobile internet service via USB modems.

CIS Geographic Segment for the purpose of VimpelCom reporting includes our operations in the following countries: Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Armenia and Georgia

Fixed-line subscriber is an authorized user of fixed-line communications services.

General and administrative costs (G&A) include salaries and outsourcing costs, including related social contributions required by Russian law; stock price-based compensation expenses; repair and maintenance expenses; rent, including lease payments for base station sites; utilities; other miscellaneous expenses, such as insurance, operating taxes, license fees, and accounting, audit and legal fees.

Households passed are households located within buildings, in which indoor installation of all the FTTB equipment necessary to install terminal residential equipment has been completed.

Mobile services are wireless voice and data transmission services excluding WiFi.

MOU (Monthly Average Minutes of Use per User) is calculated by dividing the total number of minutes of usage for incoming and outgoing calls during the relevant period (excluding guest roamers) by the average number of mobile subscribers during the period and dividing by the number of months in that period.

OIBDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure. OIBDA, previously referred to as EBITDA by the Company, is defined as operating income before depreciation, amortization and impairment loss. The Company believes that OIBDA provides useful information to

investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of our business operations, including our ability to finance capital expenditures, acquisitions and other investments and our ability to incur and service debt. While depreciation, amortization and impairment loss are considered operating costs under U.S. GAAP, these expenses primarily represent the non-cash current period allocation of costs associated with long-lived assets acquired or constructed in prior periods. Our OIBDA calculations are commonly used as bases for some investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare the periodic and future operating performance and value of companies within the telecommunications industry. OIBDA should not be considered in isolation as an alternative to net income attributable to VimpelCom, operating income or any other measure of performance under U.S. GAAP. OIBDA does not include our need to replace our capital equipment over time. Reconciliation of OIBDA to operating income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is presented below in the reconciliation tables section.

OIBDA margin is OIBDA expressed as a percentage of net operating revenues. Reconciliation of OIBDA margin to operating income as a percentage of net operating revenues, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is presented below in the reconciliation tables section.

Prepaid subscribers are those subscribers who pay for their services in advance.

Roaming revenues include both revenues from VimpelCom customers who roam outside of home country network and revenues from other wireless carriers for roaming by their customers on VimpelCom’s network.

Sales and marketing costs (S&M) include marketing, advertising and dealer commissions expenses.

Take-up rate for the FTTB network is calculated by dividing the number of FTTB subscribers by the total number of households passed.

VAS (value added services) includes short messages (“SMS”), multimedia messages (“MMS”), caller number identification, call waiting, data transmission, mobile Internet, downloadable content and other services.

Capital expenditures (Capex) - purchases of new equipment, new construction, upgrades, software, other long lived assets and related reasonable costs incurred prior to intended use of the non current asset, accounted at the earliest event of advance payment or delivery. Long-lived assets acquired in business combinations are not included in capital expenditures.

SEA - VimpelCom operations in South-East Asia, which include operations in Cambodia and VimpelCom’s respective equity in net results of operations of the Company’s Vietnamese associate GTEL-Mobile JSC (“GTEL-Mobile”).

Net debt is calculated as the sum of short-term debt and long-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents.

Disclaimer
This presentation contains "forward-looking statements", as the phrase is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements relate, in part, to the proposed
combination
with
Kyivstar
and
its
benefits,
the
Company's
strategy,
development
plans
and
anticipated
performance.
The forward-looking statements are based on management's best assessment of the Company's strategic and
financial position, and future market conditions and trends. These discussions involve risks and uncertainties. The
actual outcome may differ materially from these statements as a result of continued volatility in the economies in the
markets in which the Company operates, unforeseen developments from competition, governmental regulation of the
telecommunications industries and general political uncertainties in the markets in which the Company operates
and/or litigation with third parties. The actual outcome may also differ materially if the Company is unable to obtain
all necessary corporate approvals relating to its business, if the Company is unable to successfully integrate newly-
acquired businesses, including Golden Telecom, and other factors.  There can be no assurance that these risks and
uncertainties will not have a material adverse effect on the Company, that the Company will be able to grow or that it
will be successful in executing its strategy and development plans. Certain factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those discussed in any forward-looking statements include the risks described in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2008 and other public filings made by the Company
with
the
United
States
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission,
which
risk
factors
are
incorporated
herein
by
reference.
The Company disclaims any obligation to update developments of these risk factors or to announce publicly any
revision to any of the forward-looking statements contained in this release, or to make corrections to reflect future
events or developments.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The proposed exchange offer described in this communication has not yet commenced, and the
description of the proposed exchange offer contained in this communication is not an offer to buy or the solicitation of
an offer to sell securities.
If
the
proposed
exchange
offer
is
commenced,
the
Company
expects
that
VimpelCom
Ltd.
will
file
with
the
SEC
a
registration statement and other related materials with respect to the proposed exchange offer, and the Company will
file with the SEC a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the proposed exchange
offer.  Investors and shareholders are urged to read the registration statement and other related materials, the
solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 and any amendments, exhibits or other applicable
documents
regarding
the
proposed
exchange
offer
if
and
when
they
become
available
because
they
will
contain
important information.  Those materials will be made available to the Company’s shareholders at no expense to them.
In addition, all of those materials (and all other exchange offer documents filed with the SEC) will be made available
at no charge on the SEC’s
