Further reference is made to the announcements by Euroclear and Clearstream dated 3 February 2023 (as updated on 8 February 2023) and 6 February 2023, respectively, that with immediate effect Euroclear and Clearstream are no longer accepting nor processing RUB payments. Under the Conditions (as defined in each of the respective Trust Deeds), this is being treated as Euroclear and Clearstream having made an effective U.S. dollar currency election (as set out below) on behalf of each of the respective Noteholders holding through them, since no other payment is possible.

The Conditions (as defined in each of the respective Trust Deeds) provide the ability for Noteholders (or any of them), through the notification procedures of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, on or before the tenth Business Day prior to an Interest Payment Date or any date for the repayment of principal of the relevant notes, to give an irrevocable election to the Principal Paying Agent to receive such payment in U.S. dollars (the U.S. dollar currency election ). As of today's date, Euroclear and Clearstream are still not accepting nor processing RUB payments, and as such are deemed to have given such notice on behalf of all Noteholders with respect to all Interest Payment Dates until further notice.

In accordance with Condition 13 (Notices) of the respective Trust Deeds, the Principal Paying Agent for each of the respective Notes shall upon request provide to the Noteholders the Exchange Amount and the U.S. Dollar Amount applicable to the respective Interest Payment Dates.
