Board of Directors address Gazprom’s annual General Shareholders Meeting related issues

The Gazprom Board of Directors addressed the issues associated with arranging and holding the Company's annual General Shareholders Meeting.

The Board resolved to convene the annual General Shareholders Meeting of Gazprom at 10:00 am (local time) on June 28, 2013 at the Company's headquarters in Moscow. Registration of the Meeting participants is to be carried out on June 26 (from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm) and on June 28 (from 9:00 am).

The Board of Directors approved Gazprom's annual General Shareholders Meeting agenda consisting of the following items:

  • approval of the Company's Annual Report;
  • approval of the Company's Annual Accounting Statements including the Profit and Loss Statements (Profit and Loss Accounts);
  • approval of the distribution of the Company's profit based on the results of 2012;
  • on the amount, time and form of the dividends payment based on the results of 2012;
  • on the procedure of dividend payouts;
  • approval of the Company's Auditor;
  • on the remuneration for the Board of Directors (Supervisory Council) Members – non-government officials in the amount prescribed by the Company's regulatory documents;
  • on the remuneration for the Audit Commission Members;
  • on the introduction of amendments into the Gazprom Articles of Association;
  • on the introduction of amendments into the Provision on the Gazprom General Shareholders Meeting;
  • on the approval of the amended Regulation on the Gazprom Audit Commission;
  • on the ratification of transactions of corporate interest, to be potentially executed by Gazprom while carrying on its usual business;
  • election of the Board of Directors Members;
  • election of the Audit Commission Members.

The Board of Directors formed the Shareholders Meeting Presidium to be made up of the Company's Board Members and approved the Board Chairman Viktor Zubkov as the Shareholders Meeting Chairman.

The Board meeting took the decision to provisionally endorse the Company's 2012 Annual Report and 2012 Annual Accounting Statements of Gazprom (parent company) prepared in accordance with the Russian legislation.

The Board recommended that the Shareholders Meeting approve the allocation of Gazprom's net profit based on 2012 operating results.

The Board recommended that the Shareholders Meeting approve the proposal to pay out RUB 5.99 per share in annual dividends based on Gazprom's operating results in 2012. It was recommended that the dividends payment period should end on August 27, 2013.

The meeting endorsed the proposals on the amount of the remuneration for the Board of Directors and the Audit Commission Members.

The Board reviewed the results of the open tender for the selection of an auditing company responsible for performing statutory annual audit of Gazprom and nominated the tender winner – PricewaterhouseCoopers Audit as the Company's Auditor subject to the approval by the General Shareholders Meeting of Gazprom.

The Board reviewed a draft Procedure of Dividend Payouts and recommended that the Shareholders Meeting approve this document. The Procedure enshrines the mechanism of dividend payouts adopted by the Company.

The Board of Directors submitted to the Shareholders Meeting for consideration draft amendments into the Gazprom Articles of Association and the Provision on the Company's General Shareholders Meeting. The Amendments are driven by the modifications introduced into the Federal Law on Joint Stock Companies as well as the adoption by the Federal Financial Markets Service of a new version of the Provision on Extra Requirements to Preparing, Convening and Holding the General Shareholders Meeting.

At present, Gazprom's Register of Shareholders includes several hundred thousand Russian and foreign shareholders Taking this into account, shareholders are advised to exercise their right to take part in the Meeting via their trustees by proxy or via a filled out voting ballot sent to the Company.

In addition, the Board of Directors adopted decisions on other issues associated with arranging and holding the annual General Shareholders Meeting of Gazprom.
