Procedure of allocation of the Bonds for the shareholders: if the demand for Bonds exceeds the supply (i.e. more than one shareholder of the Company is willing to acquire the Bonds), the Bonds shall be allocated to the shareholders willing to acquire the Bonds proportionally to the amount of shares of the Company possessed by each such shareholder.

The Company shall follow the principles set forth below when establishing the shareholders entitled to acquire Bonds and the amount of Bonds allocated to each of such shareholder:

  • the amount of Bonds allocated to each of the shareholders of the Company entitle to acquire Bonds shall be established by dividing a number of shares of the Company held by such shareholder by a total number of shares of the Company held by all shareholder that applied for acquisition of Bonds and multiplying the result by a quantity of Bonds;
  • those shareholder of the Company who have a bond rate (coefficient) higher than 1 will be allocated the Bonds first; such shareholders shall become entitled to acquire a number of Bonds equal to a whole number of such coefficient (e.g. if the coefficient is 1.6, such shareholder shall first become entitled to acquire one Bond);
  • if after allocation of Bonds as stated above not all Bonds are allocated (i.e. one or several Bonds are not allocated to any shareholder), the shareholders of the Company possessing highest fraction of the coefficient shall become entitled to acquire the remaining Bonds in decreasing order (i.e. if two Bonds remain unallocated, and a coefficient for shareholder A is equal to 1.75, a coefficient for shareholder B – 3.65 and for shareholder C – 5.70, shareholders A and C shall be allocated one Bond each);
  • if a fraction of a coefficient is equal for several shareholders of the Company, the priority will be granted to a shareholder who has submitted the application to acquire Bonds earlier.

In any case, if the shareholders of the Company have exercised their pre-emptive right to acquire Bonds and the demand of Bonds exceeds the supply, each Bond (and in any case – not less and not more than all Bonds) shall be allocated to particular shareholders of the Company.

 

Procedure of informing the shareholders of the Company on the results of evaluation of their applications: the Company shall provide the results of evaluation of the applications and shall provide further instruction to the shareholders of the Company who have submitted applications, by sending notifications to the mailing addresses indicated in the applications not later than 11 April 2014.
