   TCS Group adds new participants to its long-term management incentive and
   retention plan

    

   Limassol, Cyprus - 18 April 2019.  TCS Group Holding PLC (TCS LI)
   (the "Group") Russia's leading provider of online financial and lifestyle
   services via its Tinkoff.ru ecosystem, announces a further expansion and
   deepening of its long-term management incentive and retention plan
   (MLTIP). The Board in Q1 2019 approved an increase in the number of
   participants, making awards to 10 new participants.

   The Group had previously announced that the target total size of the MLTIP
   pool would be nearly 5.6% of the Group's current share capital.

   Each MLTIP wave is awarded over six years, materially subject to the
   fulfilment of annual KPIs.  All participants are employees of the Group,
   working full time in the Russian Federation.

   The aim of this initiative, is to ensure that the interests of the broader
   management team are closely aligned with the interests of shareholders to
   grow the Group's value, as it continues to grow the scale and scope of its
   operations.

   Oleg Tinkov, the founder of Tinkoff Bank, said: "Not so many companies in
   Russia have similar long-term incentive plans, and in the conservative
   financial industry our reward system is truly one of a kind.

   Our LTIP scheme covers some 100 people - my partners and business
   co-owners - and we are planning to add more participants to this program
   in the future. I am particularly proud that most of the LTIP participants
   started their careers at Tinkoff from entry-level positions, with
   approximately 10% of them joining the Company as call centre operators.

   Newly eligible participants are an integral part of the team that commits
   every effort to making Tinkoff one of the most innovative financial
   companies globally.  I invite my teammates to share our success and I am
   confident that our long-term incentive plan will keep them motivated to
   drive further business growth, seek best innovative solutions and make
   everything possible for our new achievements."
