Preliminary 2023 Calendar Published

Rusneftegaz has published a preliminary calendar for the next fiscal year, with our organization scheduled to disclose our consolidated financial statements on 4 April 2023, and convene for an Annual General Meeting later that same week. This particular conference is currently due to be held on 7 April 2023, although this date is subject to change. It is currently the intention of the board to once again host the event at a venue in Moscow, avoiding the prospect of the session being held virtually via teleconference as per during the pandemic, although this option remains as a contingency if necessary. However, it should be noted that none of our plans throughout the last year have been affected by coronavirus, and management considers this phase of the health crisis to have ended. It does exclude any proposal for an Extraordinary General Meeting, which was suggested earlier this year should it have been necessary to vote to approve a new external auditor. Since we have retained the services of current firm, it was not considered necessary to assemble such a gathering. Despite this, the majority of undertakings in 2023 are anticipated to proceed as normal, with production reports to continue to be published one month after the cessation of each quarter. In spite of this, there may still be discrepancies between the time this information is circulated to relevant parties and when this material is uploaded onto our website. 

​Moreover, it is important to highlight that in the more immediate future that we anticipate a reduced capacity to address nonessential matters, including inquiries received via email and telephone, owing to staff vacations coinciding with the Christmas and New Year holiday. This impending disruption, which is scheduled to occur from 26 December 2022 to 9 January 2023, will exclusively affect our administrative functions and will have no impact on our other operations. Hence, it is of utmost importance that all correspondences be forwarded to us prior to this to ensure a timely response. Please be assured that all messages received during this period will be vigilantly monitored and responded to as required. At the conclusion of this timeframe, we will diligently strive to address all these pending communications within one working day, in conjunction with those received by our subsidiaries. The full details of this provisional calendar can be viewed in its entirety on our official website, and although the dates may be modified at the discretion of our management, we currently consider this a remote possibility. Any inquiries regarding this announcement should be sent via the usual channels as soon as possible, chiefly to ensure a response before our capacity to do so becomes limited. Your cooperation and understanding in this pertinent matter are greatly appreciated.
