Name of issuer

Decision on the charter capital increase
On July 28, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors resolved to increase the Company’s charter capital by means of an offering of additional ordinary shares in the amount of 123,315,000 (one hundred twenty three million three hundred fifteen thousand), each with a nominal value of 62.50 (sixty two point fifty) rubles (the “Additional Shares”).
On October 19, 2010, the Russian Federal Service for Financial Markets registered the issue of Additional Shares. If the Company determines to issue the Additional Shares, they will be placed by means of an open subscription.
Pre-emptive rights
The Company has not yet determined that it will commence the offering and issue any Additional Shares. However, in order to keep open its potential capital raising options, the Company has decided to launch the preemptive rights period today.
The Company’s registered holders of shares as of July 28, 2010 have pre-emptive rights to acquire Additional Shares, if issued, pro rata to their shareholding in the Company’s charter capital as of July 28, 2010 (record date). For the avoidance of doubt, holders of GDRs are not entitled to pre-emptive rights.
Shareholders that are entitled to exercise their pre-emptive rights and are willing to do so must submit their written applications for the Additional Shares acquisition (the “Application”) by no later than October 4, 2011 (the “Pre-emptive Right Period”).

Shareholders exercising pre-emptive rights must pay for the Additional Shares within 6 (six) business days from the date of disclosure of the offering price of the Additional Shares in the newswire and on the website http://www.pik.ru in the Internet (including the date of disclosure).
Offering price
As indicated above, the Company has not yet determined that it will commence the offering and issue any Additional Shares. If it does, the offer price of the Additional Shares, including the offer price of the Additional Shares to persons entitled to exercise pre-emptive rights, is required to be approved by the Company’s Board of Directors upon expiration of the Pre-emptive Right Period and will be disclosed not later than the date when such offering commences in the newswire and on the Company’s website http://www.pik.ru.
The offer price of the Additional Shares will be the same for all purchasers, including shareholders entitled to exercise pre-emptive rights.
Offering period
The offering commencement date for shareholders entitled to exercise pre-emptive rights and for other purchasers of Additional Shares will be determined by the Company’s general director after expiration of the Pre-emptive Right Period.
The last date of the offering period shall be the earliest of the following dates:
- The 7 (the seventh) business day from the offering commencement date (including the offering commencement date); or
- The date of allocation of the last Additional Share,
provided that such date will be within one year period since the date of state registration of the issue of Additional Shares by Russian Federal Service for Financial Markets.
