·                                 The shares shall be sold at a price of RUB 93 per share.

Vladimir Chirakhov, Sistema President and CEO, said,

“The robust interest in the Offering attests to the fundamental strength of Detsky Mir's investment case. Detsky Mir’s growth has been increasingly underpinned by the online sales channel, proving that the strategic focus on omni-channel has been paying off. We have always believed that the enhanced liquidity is of interest to all shareholders and acted on that accordingly. Thanks to a successful transaction last year, the liquidity has been increasing to the benefit of all shareholders. With the increased free float now making up approximately 75.00% following the Offering, Detsky Mir will further improve its liquidity profile, attracting a wider range of investors. Sistema, as a significant shareholder, will continue to support Detsky Mir in its strategic development as it strengthens its market leadership, enhances online sales channels and expands into new markets.”
