Annual General Meeting of North-West Telecom shareholders

On June 23, 2008 the annual general meeting of the N.W.Telecom shareholders was held. The meeting was held in the form of joint attendance by the shareholders of the Company.  

In accordance with its agenda, the shareholders approved the Company’s annual report, annual accounting including profit and loss statements (income statements) of the Company, and distribution of profits (in particular, payment of dividends) and losses of the Company according to the reporting 2007 fiscal year results.

The meeting of the shareholders decided to pay a dividend by the N.W.Telecom business results in 2007:

- on preferred shares: 3.997 rubles per share;

The dividend rate growth compared to the last year will be 80% per ordinary share and 366% per preferred share. This dividend rate, a record-high one in the history of N.W.Telecom, became possible due to the sizeable net profit increase by the 2007 results attributable to the successful sale of a 15% interest in OJSC Telecominvest owned by the Company.

The dividend will be paid in cash both on preferred and ordinary shares between August 15 and December 15, 2008.

By the voting results, a Board of Directors of OJSC North-West Telecom was elected with the following persons on its list:
