"2. Rationale for the Consent Solicitation

Following the introduction of extensive sanctions and other restrictive measures, including full blocking sanctions, by the U.S., the EU, the UK and other countries against Russia and/or various Russian individuals and entities (as well as nonRussian individuals and entities associated with them), many international banks, brokers, custodians, clearing systems and other participants in the international securities markets initiated rigorous compliance checks and procedures, and corresponding freezes of bank and securities accounts, with regard to counterparties with Russia-related operations or assets located in Russia. In addition, Chelpipe was included in the UK sanctions list. Such sanctions, the subsequent actions of various market participants and the Russian counter-measures in response thereto have significantly disrupted the existing framework and infrastructure for delivery and settlement of securities of issuers that have assets in Russia, including the process of paying the amounts due under such securities and the formal process of cancelling such securities when they have been purchased by or on behalf of issuers and borrowers in the market, as well as the ability of noteholders to receive payments and process of electronic instructions in respect of notes held by them.

As a result of the developments and disruptions described above, payments of interest or principal to be made by Chelpipe under the Loan and the respective payments of the Issuer, the Guarantors or Chelpipe under the Notes may become blocked, frozen or delayed for an uncertain period of time by the Principal Paying Agent, the Clearing Systems or other entities processing those payments. In addition, there is a substantial risk that any payment made in respect of Notes that are held with the Russian securities custodians could be blocked, delayed or frozen and, consequently, those funds would not be distributed to or received by the relevant Noteholders.

Moreover, the Competent Russian Authorities have introduced regulations that require payments in relation to certain types of notes (such as the Notes) held in Russian securities custodians to be made through such Russian securities custodians by the Russian entities which have obligations related to such notes so that the amounts due under such notes reach the holders of such notes. 21 In light of the above, Chelpipe is seeking the Noteholders’ consent to certain modifications to the terms of the Notes, the most significant of which are set out in Schedule 1 (Proposed Amendments) hereto."
