JSC DEVELOPMENT BANK OF KAZAKHSTAN ANNOUNCES TENDER INSTRUCTIONS RECEIVED AS
OF THE EARLY TENDER PARTICIPATION DEADLINE IN RESPECT OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE
FOR CASH UP TO U.S.$700,000,000 IN AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF 4.125% NOTES
DUE 2022

11 May 2022 - On 26 April 2022, JSC Development Bank of Kazakhstan (the
"Offeror"), a joint stock company organised in the Republic of Kazakhstan,
announced the launch of its offer to purchase (the "Tender Offer") for cash
the 4.125% Notes due 2022 issued by the Offeror (the "Notes") in an aggregate
principal amount of up to U.S.$700,000,000 (the "Maximum Tender Amount"). The
Tender Offer is made upon the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth
in the offer to purchase dated 26 April 2022 (the "Offer to Purchase").
Capitalised terms used in this announcement but not defined herein have the
meaning given to them in the Offer to Purchase.

The Offeror is making the Tender Offer, in combination with an offering of
dollar-denominated Eurobonds to be issued under the Offeror's medium term note
programme (the "New Notes"), as a way of managing its financial liabilities
and debt maturity profile (the "New Notes Offering"). The New Notes Offering
is expected to close on or about 12 May 2022. Subject to the successful
closing of the New Notes Offering, the proceeds from the New Notes Offering
are expected to partially fund the Tender Offer. The Offeror intends to use
existing cash on hand to fund the remaining portion of the Tender Offer.
Unless waived by the Offeror, the Tender Offer is conditioned upon, among
other things, the successful completion (in the sole determination of the
Offeror) of the New Notes Offering (the "Financing Condition"). The New Notes
have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Tender Offer is not an offer to
sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the New Notes. No action has been or
will be taken in any jurisdiction in relation to the New Notes to permit a
public offering of securities.

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on 9 May 2022 (the "Early Tender
Participation Deadline"), U.S.$791,876,000 in aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Notes had been validly tendered and not withdrawn.

As of the Early Tender Participation Deadline, the aggregate principal amount
of Priority Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn was less than the Maximum
Tender Amount, but the aggregate of Priority Notes and Non-Priority Notes
validly tendered and not withdrawn exceeded the Maximum Tender Amount.
Accordingly, subject to the satisfaction of the Financing Condition, the
Offeror intends:

·           to accept all Priority Notes validly tendered and not
withdrawn for purchase in an aggregate principal amount up to (but not
exceeding) final allocations given to the relevant Holders of such Priority
Notes in the New Notes (without proration); and

·           to accept for purchase other Notes validly tendered and
not withdrawn on a pro rata basis (with a proration factor of 85.9677%,

such that the aggregate principal amount of such Priority Notes and
Non-Priority notes accepted for tender is no greater than the Maximum Tender
Amount and shall be U.S.$700,000,000.

Payment for Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Participation
Deadline and accepted for purchase (comprising payment of the Total
Consideration and Accrued Interest) will be made on the business day the
issuance of the New Notes is settled (currently expected to be 12 May 2022)
(the "Early Settlement Date"). Following the Early Settlement Date, the
remaining outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes is expected to
be U.S.$564,004,000.

The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on 23 May
2022, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same
may be extended, the "Expiration Deadline"). The Withdrawal Deadline was 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on 9 May 2022. Payment for Notes validly tendered
after the Early Tender Participation Deadline but, at or prior to, the
Expiration Deadline and accepted for purchase (comprising the Tender Offer
Consideration and Accrued Interest), if any, will be made on 25 May 2022 (the
"Final Settlement Date").

Subject to applicable law and the terms and conditions of the Offer to
Purchase, the Offeror may terminate the Tender Offer, waive any or all of the
conditions of the Tender Offer prior to the Expiration Deadline, extend the
Expiration Deadline or amend the terms of the Tender Offer.

None of the Offeror, the dealer managers nor the information and tender agent
(nor any director, officer, employee, agent or affiliate of, any such person)
makes any recommendation whether holders should tender or refrain from
tendering Notes in the Tender Offer. Holders must make their own decision as
to whether to tender Notes and, if so, the principal amount of the Notes to
tender. Holders are urged to evaluate carefully all information in the Offer
to Purchase, consult their own investment and tax advisers and make their own
decisions whether to tender Notes in the Tender Offer, and, if so, the
principal amount of Notes to tender.
