   Tinkoff announces start of trading of its Global Depositary Receipts on
   Moscow Exchange
    

   Limassol, Cyprus - 28 October 2019. TCS Group Holding PLC (TCS LI)
   ("Tinkoff", the "Company"), Russia's leading provider of online financial
   and lifestyle services via its Tinkoff ecosystem, announces the start of
   trading of its Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs", ticker: TCSG) on Moscow
   Exchange today.

    

   Chairman of the Management Board and CEO of Tinkoff Oliver Hughes and
   Moscow Exchange Chairman of the Supervisory Board Oleg Viyugin
   participated in an official ceremony at Moscow Exchange to mark the start
   of trading of Tinkoff's GDRs.

    

   Oleg Tinkov, the Founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors of
   Tinkoff, commented: "This listing of Tinkoff GDRs on Moscow Exchange is a
   huge milestone for our company. For several years now, Tinkoff has been a
   major driving force in the development of Russia's retail investor market,
   contributing significantly to its explosive growth. We are thrilled that,
   starting today, investors can now also trade Tinkoff GDRs on Moscow
   Exchange."

    

   Oleg Vyugin added: "Tinkoff's listing on Moscow Exchange is a significant
   event for the Russian stock market. Institutional and retail investors
   will be able to buy GDRs in one of Russia's most innovative
   companies within the domestic legal framework and on a trading platform
   they are familiar with. We are seeing a trend for Russian companies listed
   abroad to come to Moscow Exchange and thus expand their investor base,
   increase the liquidity of their shares and support growth of their market
   capitalisation. Moscow Exchange is the primary platform for pricing
   Russian assets, and is equally convenient for international and Russian
   investment funds, as well as more than three million Russian individual
   investors. I wish Tinkoff every success on the Russian stock market."

    

   Oliver Hughes said: "Tinkoff has transformed the way that Russians think
   about banking and secured its place as Russia's fintech leader. Tinkoff is
   also a key driver behind a rapid inflow of retail investors on to the
   Russian stock market. Tinkoff Investments app accounts for over 30% of
   retail investment accounts registered on the Moscow Exchange. Our listing
   on Moscow Exchange should expand the Company's investor base to include
   Russian investors who are not present in London and will support
   liquidity. We are excited to welcome our new investors via Moscow Exchange
   and we are confident that this move will support the liquidity and market
   capitalisation growth of Tinkoff going forward."

    

   Earlier, the Company announced that Moscow Exchange had approved the
   listing of the Company's Global Depositary Receipts (ISIN US87238U2033).
   The Company's GDRs have been included in the Level 1 List.

    

   Renaissance Capital has acted as the Company's adviser in connection with
   the secondary listing of global depositary receipts on Moscow Exchange.
