Trading in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) representing Gazprom's shares started today at the Moscow Exchange.

Listing of Gazprom's ADRs at a Russian stock exchange assures higher demand for these securities and, consequently, the Company's shares. It is another milestone of Gazprom's consistent efforts aimed at increasing the liquidity and price of the Company's securities.
