In respect to this, the  Company notes that the trading  suspension of O'KEY Group  GDRs
has temporary nature and does not affect the GDRs listing on LSE. The Company emphasizes

O'KEY Group GDRs are  listed on LSE since  2010, and since then  the Company has  always

crystal-clear reputation in the market.

available for  trading on  MOEX for  all  market participants  upon the  stock  exchange
opening.
