(“VimpelCom”). The initial Statement on Schedule 13D, previously filed jointly by Altimo Coöperatief U.A. (“Altimo Coop”), Eco Telecom Limited, Altimo Holdings & Investments Ltd. (“Altimo”), CTF Holdings Limited (“CTF Holdings”) and Crown Finance Foundation (“Crown Finance”) on April 30, 2010, as amended, is hereby amended and supplemented with respect to the items set forth in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Statement. The address of the principal executive office of VimpelCom is Claude Debussylaan 88, 1082 MD, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

This Amendment is being filed on behalf of each of the following persons (each, a “Reporting Person” and, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”):

	(i)	L1T VIP Holdings S.à r.l. (“L1T”); and

	(ii)	Letterone Investment Holdings S.A. (“LIHS”).

The Statement, as hereby amended, relates to the shares of Common Stock held for the account of L1T. See Item 5.

The Reporting Persons

L1T is a Luxembourg company (a société à responsabilité limitée), with its principal address at 1-3 Boulevard de la Foire, L-1528, Luxembourg. The principal business of L1T is to function as a holding company. Current information concerning the identity and background of the directors and officers of L1T and persons controlling L1T is set forth in Annex A hereto, which is incorporated by reference in response to this Item 2.

LIHS is a Luxembourg company (a société anonyme), with its principal address at 1-3 Boulevard de la Foire, L-1528, Luxembourg. The principal business of LIHS is to function as a holding company. LIHS is the sole shareholder of L1T and, in such capacity, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock held for the account of L1T. Current information concerning the identity and background of the directors and officers of LIHS and persons controlling LIHS is set forth in Annex A hereto, which is incorporated by reference in response to this Item 2.

During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons and, to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, no other person identified in response to this Item 2, including those persons identified in Annex A, has been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding or (b) a party to any civil proceeding or a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following at the end thereof:

Letterone Holdings S.A. (“Letterone”) and its affiliates have engaged in an internal reorganization. As part of that reorganization, on November 11, 2015 all of the shares in LIHS owned by Letterone (which constituted a controlling interest in L1T and the indirect ownership of the Common Stock) were transferred to six separate entities. As part of the internal reorganization, no external funds were used.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to delete the last paragraph thereof and replace it with the following:

As stated in Item 3, Letterone and its affiliates have engaged in an internal reorganization that resulted in Letterone transferring its shares in LIHS to six separate entities.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

(a) L1T is the direct beneficial owner of 986,572,563 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 56.2% of VimpelCom's outstanding Common Stock. Each of L1T and LIHS may be deemed the

beneficial owner of the 986,572,563 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 56.2% of VimpelCom's outstanding Common Stock, held for the account of L1T.

The 986,572,563 shares of Common Stock held for the account of L1T represent approximately 47.85% of VimpelCom's voting capital, i.e. adding VimpelCom’s outstanding convertible voting preferred stock to the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock. To the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, none of the persons listed in Annex A holds any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock (other than as described in this Item 5). Neither the filing of this Amendment nor any of its contents will be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the Reporting Persons is the beneficial owner of any shares of VimpelCom (other than as described in this Item 5(a)) for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purposes, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

The above calculated percentages are based on 1,756,731,135 shares of Common Stock and 305,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2014 as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2015.

(b) Each of L1T and LIHS may be deemed to have sole power to direct the voting and disposition of 986,572,563 shares of Common Stock held for the account of L1T.

(c) Other than as reported in Item 4 above, the persons listed in Item 5(a) have not effected any transactions with respect to the Common Stock or Preferred Stock since the most recent filing of Schedule 13D.

(d) No Reporting Person knows of any other person who has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock.
