Neither the New GDRs nor any document relating to them have been or will be registered with the Central Bank of Russia. Lenta Ltd. is relying on an understanding with Public Joint-Stock Company Moscow Exchange MICEX-RTS (the "Moscow Exchange") that its global depositary receipts have been admitted to trading on the Moscow Exchange as a class and any new securities of the class are also admitted. Therefore, before the Admission, the New GDRs may not be offered, sold or delivered in the Russian Federation or to or for the benefit of any persons (including legal entities) resident, incorporated, established or having their usual residence in the Russian Federation or to any person located within the territory of the Russian Federation except to qualified investor within the meaning of Article 51.2 of Federal Law No.39-FZ "On the Securities Market" dated 22 April 1996, as amended or as otherwise may be permitted by Russian law. No assurance can be given that thereafter the New GDRs will continue to be admitted to trading on the Moscow Exchange.
