(the “Issuer”) today announces a solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) to consider and, if thought fit, pass the Extraordinary Resolutions in favour of the Amendments (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum dated 7 February 2023 (the “Consent Solicitation Memorandum”).

"Rationale for the Consent Solicitation
Following the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the U.S., the EU, the UK and certain other countries have launched against Russia an unprecedented expansion of coordinated sanctions and trading restrictions, including, among others, new regional embargoes, full blocking sanctions on companies and individuals, sovereign debt restrictions and other sanctions targeting a number of Russian individuals and entities.
Although the international payments infrastructure currently makes it almost impossible for the Issuer and the Bank to perform their respective obligations under the Notes and the Loan and to uphold the rights and interest of all Noteholders, the Group endeavours to undertake any steps necessary and utilise all means possible to further service the debt under the Notes.
The Bank and the Issuer believe that the Amendments would give more flexibility to adapt the existing structure to unpredictably changing regulatory and sanctions environment and avoid obstacles in servicing the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and, therefore, would be in the best interests of the Noteholders. However, the Issuer and the Bank intend to implement the new payment and cancellation provisions proposed as the Amendments only in case they are unable to perform their respective obligations in accordance with procedures and in a manner stipulated in the Trust Deeds prior to the date when the Amendments came into effect."
