EXPLANATORY NOTE

On November 10, 2025, Kyivstar Group Ltd. (the “Company”) furnished an earnings release (the “Q3 Earnings Release”) announcing its third quarter updates and financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company is furnishing this Current Report on Form 6-K to note that the non-IFRS measures Equity Free Cash Flow and LTM Equity Free Cash Flow presented in the Q3 Earnings Release included a one-time cash adjustment for proceeds from shares issuance of $134 million. To enhance period-to-period comparability and to provide additional clarity to the market, the Company advises that the definition of Equity Free Cash Flow used in the Q3 Earnings Release should be updated to exclude cash inflows from proceeds from shares issuance.

Applying the updated definition, Equity Free Cash Flow before licenses and leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $40 million and $203 million, respectively, and LTM Equity Free Cash Flow as of September 30, 2025 was $239 million. Equity Free Cash Flow after licenses and leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $31 million and $176 million, respectively.
