      O`KEY GROUP’S GDRs RECEIVE PRIMARY LISTING STATUS ON MOSCOW EXCHANGE

                                        

   O`KEY Group S.A. (MOEX, AIX, LSE: OKEY, the “Group” or the “Company”), one
   of Russia’s leading food  retailers, announces that,  on 2 November  2023,
   the Bank of  Russia decided  to register  a prospectus  for the  Company’s
   global depositary receipts  (GDRs), ISIN  US6708662019, each  representing
   one ordinary share  of O’KEY GROUP  S.A. Thus, the  Group has changed  its
   listing status on Moscow Exchange (“MOEX”) to primary. The Company's  GDRs
   remain in the Level 1 quotation list and continue trading on MOEX.

    

   All materials  published  by  the  Group are  available  on  its  website,
    1 okeygroup.lu.

    

   In December 2020, O`KEY  Group received secondary  listing status for  its
   GDRs on MOEX. The Company’s GDRs were included in Level 1 quotation  list,
   and, since then, have been trading  on the main market under OKEY  ticker.
   The registration of the prospectus and receiving primary listing status is
   aimed to secure the continuity of trading  of the Group’s GDRs on MOEX  in
   the future.

   The Group also maintains its primary listing on the London Stock  Exchange
   (“LSE”) since November 2010 2  1 .

   Additionally, in March 2023, the Group obtained secondary listing for  its
   GDRs on  Astana  International Exchange  (“AIX”).  The Group's  GDRs  were
   admitted to trading on the main market under OKEY ticker.

   O`KEY Group does not plan to issue new shares in connection with its GDRs’
   listing on MOEX and AIX.

   Receiving the primary listing status on  MOEX does not change the  trading
   of the Company’s GDRs on MOEX and AIX, and does not require any additional
   actions from the holders.
