It&nbsp;has two brands: the Kcell brand, which is&nbsp;targeted primarily at&nbsp;corporate subscribers (including government subscribers), and the Activ brand, which is&nbsp;targeted primarily at&nbsp;mass market subscribers. The Company offers its services through its extensive, high quality network which covers substantially all of&nbsp;the populated territory of&nbsp;Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In&nbsp;December 2012, Kcell successfully completed its offering of&nbsp;GDR\u2019s on&nbsp;the London Stock Exchange and common shares on&nbsp;KASE. The price was set at&nbsp;USD 10.50 per GDR and KZT 1,578.68 per share with each GDR representing one share. The offering consisted of&nbsp;a&nbsp;sale by&nbsp;TeliaSonera of&nbsp;50&nbsp;million shares, which represent 25&nbsp;percent of&nbsp;Kcell\u2019s share capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kcell plans to&nbsp;benefit from the significant growth potential for mobile data services in&nbsp;Kazakhstan. The Company intends to&nbsp;continue to&nbsp;invest in&nbsp;the deployment of&nbsp;its 3G\/4G network to&nbsp;expand coverage and to&nbsp;provide high quality services. Kcell aims to&nbsp;maintain its market leadership in&nbsp;terms of&nbsp;revenue and the number of&nbsp;subscribers by&nbsp;offering its products and services at&nbsp;competitive prices, expanding its offering of&nbsp;products and services, maintaining the high quality of&nbsp;its network and enhancing its brand value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Almaty, 12&nbsp;February 2018&nbsp;\u2014 Kcell Joint Stock Company (\u00abKcell\u00bb or&nbsp;the \u00abCompany\u00bb) (LSE, KASE: KCEL), the leading provider of&nbsp;mobile telecommunications services in&nbsp;Kazakhstan by&nbsp;market share in&nbsp;terms of&nbsp;revenue and subscribers, announces that following the Company\u2019s Board approval, Kcell has extended its KZT 26.0 billion credit facility with Eurasian Development Bank to&nbsp;KZT 32.84 billion along with certain amendments to&nbsp;the terms &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/investors.kcell.kz\/?p=5265&#038;lang=en\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Kcell announces extension of credit facility with Eurasian Development Bank<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":2451,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized-en"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/investors.kcell.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/\u041a\u043e\u0440\u043f-\u043d\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0438-\u0440\u0435\u0448\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f-\u0421\u0414.png",1920,881,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/investors.kcell.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/\u041a\u043e\u0440\u043f-\u043d\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0438-\u0440\u0435\u0448\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f-\u0421\u0414-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/investors.kcell.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/\u041a\u043e\u0440\u043f-\u043d\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0438-\u0440\u0435\u0448\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f-\u0421\u0414-300x138.png",300,138,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/investors.kcell.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/\u041a\u043e\u0440\u043f-\u043d\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0438-\u0440\u0435\u0448\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f-\u0421\u0414-768x352.png",768,352,true],"large":["https:\/\/investors.kcell.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/\u041a\u043e\u0440\u043f-\u043d\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0438-\u0440\u0435\u0448\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f-\u0421\u0414-1024x470.png",1024,470,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/investors.kcell.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/\u041a\u043e\u0440\u043f-\u043d\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0438-\u0440\u0435\u0448\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f-\u0421\u0414-1536x705.png",1536,705,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/investors.kcell.kz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/\u041a\u043e\u0440\u043f-\u043d\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0438-\u0440\u0435\u0448\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f-\u0421\u0414.png",1920,881,false]},"post_excerpt_stackable":"<p>Almaty, 12&nbsp;February 2018&nbsp;\u2014 Kcell Joint Stock Company (\u00abKcell\u00bb or&nbsp;the \u00abCompany\u00bb) (LSE, KASE: KCEL), the leading provider of&nbsp;mobile telecommunications services in&nbsp;Kazakhstan by&nbsp;market share in&nbsp;terms of&nbsp;revenue and subscribers, announces that following the Company\u2019s Board approval, Kcell has extended its KZT 26.0 billion credit facility with Eurasian Development Bank to&nbsp;KZT 32.84 billion along with certain amendments to&nbsp;the terms and conditions.
