The Company may pay dividends out of its profits in accordance with the provisions of its charter, the Regulation on Dividend Policy approved by the Board of Directors on 31.10.2017 (the Dividend Policy Regulation) and applicable laws.

Under the Dividend Policy Regulation, the Board of Directors, when recommending dividend payments to the General Shareholders’ Meeting, should take into account the Group’s consolidated net profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders under IFRS for the relevant financial period and should also follow the recommendations of the Company’s general director as to the use of profit.

If recommended to the General Shareholders’ Meeting by the Board of Directors, dividends should not be less than 30% of the Group’s net profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders under IFRS adjusted for, among other things, certain non-cash items as further set out in the Dividend Policy Regulation. These include adjustments for items such as negative goodwill, share of profit in equity accounted subsidiaries, and various other items. If the amount of dividends determined in accordance with the above is more than the Company’s current year net profit and retained earnings under RAS, the Board of Directors must decrease the amount accordingly. The Company’s shareholders, including holders of the Shares, will be eligible to receive dividends declared (if any) in respect of a financial year or a financial quarter and will receive those dividends in Roubles.
