Information on Related Party Transactions JSC «Gazprom» May Conclude in the Ordinary Course of Business in Future

These resolutions are effective till the next annual General Shareholders’ Meeting.

In accordance with the legal requirements and explanations by the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation, the General Shareholders’ Meeting draft resolution on approval of the related party transactions that may be entered into by JSC «Gazprom» in the ordinary course of its business in the future specifies the parties to, the subject matter, the maximum amount, as well as other material terms and conditions of the transactions. In accordance with Article 60.4, Federal Joint Stock Companies Law, the resolution wording on this issue is included into voting ballot No. 2 as well as the draft resolutions of the annual General Shareholders’ Meeting of JSC «Gazprom» (Paragraphs 1 to 94 of the draft resolution on agenda item 9; hereinafter “the Draft Resolution”), which are available as part of these information materials.

The Company’s entering into the transactions envisaged in Sections 1 to 27, 44, 52 of the Draft Resolution is determined by the need to create stable financial conditions for JSC «Gazprom» and its subsidiaries operations as a single production entity.

The lease contracts envisaged in Paragraphs 28 to 39 and 41 of the Draft Resolution are to be concluded by JSC «Gazprom» with its subsidiaries and permanent counterparties in order to enhance the current production and business operations, by letting out the property used for the provision of communications services to JSC «Gazprom» and its main gas transportation and gas producing companies, by supplying gas to ultimate consumers etc.

The transactions specified in Paragraphs 42, 43, 45 to 50, 53 to 60, 92 to 94 of the Draft Resolution are to be concluded by JSC «Gazprom» with its subsidiaries and permanent counterparties and intended to secure JSC «Gazprom» charter operations in the gas supply to domestic and foreign consumers, the provision of gas transportation services, as well as to increase the pool of raw materials.

Inclusion of the professional development contracts and the contracts for further training of JSC «Gazprom» executives and specialists (Paragraphs 61, 65, 71, and 72 of the Draft Resolution) into the Draft Resolution is due to the need to develop the necessary skills and competencies in employees, to retrain them to enable their efficient performance in new lines of business. The training objective is to further enhance the existing production process.

Agency contracts for the pre-commissioning procedures “under load” at JSC «Gazprom» facilities as well as service contracts for the implementation of JSC «Gazprom» investment projects of facility construction and commissioning (Paragraphs 40 and 74 of the Draft Resolution) are to create the necessary pre- requisites for JSC «Gazprom» high performance in gas supply and in the Unified Gas Supply System development.

The Company’s entering into insurance contracts (Paragraphs 73, 75 to 80, 90 of the Draft Resolution) is necessitated by:- mitigation of the consequences of possible loss, destruction of or damage to JSC «Gazprom» property, in particular, the vehicles owned by JSC «Gazprom»; preservation of health and professional abilities of JSC «Gazprom» employees, retirees and their families, which is a top priority of JSC «Gazprom» social policy; and compliance with the requirements of the Russian Federation law. By virtue of Article 935, Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the Federal Law on Mandatory Civil Liability Insurance of the Hazardous Facility Owner for Harm Caused by an Accident at the Hazardous Facility, Article 13, Customs Code of the Customs Union, and Article 61, Federal Law on Customs Regulation in the Russian Federation, the liability insurance against the harm to third parties’ life, health or property as a result of an accident at hazardous facilities and the risk of civil liability that may arise as a result of the damage to third parties’ property or the violation of contracts with third parties is the duty of JSC «Gazprom» that operates such facilities and acts as a customs representative. The scope of the Federal Law on Mandatory Civil Liability Insurance of the Hazardous Facility Owner for Harm Caused by an Accident at the Hazardous Facility covers a limited list of hazardous production facilities and does not cover the relations resulting from the environmental damage. In this connection and taking into account the provisions of Article 15, Federal Law on Safety of Fuel and Energy Facilities, it is proposed to conclude a contract that envisages voluntary liability insurance of fuel and energy facility owners, including environmental risks (Paragraph 73 of the Draft Resolution). To eliminate additional tax consequences in mutual settlements under the above-mentioned contract between the parties and the uncertainty in recording transactions in financial and tax accounting, the proposal is to conclude a liability insurance contract with numerous persons on the policyholder’s side. The research and development contracts with I.M. Gubkin Russian State Oil and Gas University (Paragraphs 51, 62 to 64, 66 to 70 of the Draft Resolution) are to be concluded with a specialized company to address the objectives the Company faces in the development of new knowledge-intensive and information technologies, in the accumulation of its research, development and innovative potential for sustainable and efficient use in field development, production, transportation and processing of hydrocarbon raw materials and in some other production and business operations of JSC «Gazprom». JSC «Gazprom» transactions with its subsidiaries and permanent counterparties for stock-taking of JSC «Gazprom» fixed assets transferred to these companies in lease (Paragraph 89 of the Draft Resolution) are to be entered into by virtue of the requirements of mandatory stock-taking when transferring property in lease (Paragraph 27, Regulations on Accounting and Reporting in the Russian Federation, as approved by the Russian Federation Finance Ministry Order of July 29, 1998, No. 34n).

License and sublicense contracts for granting the right to use JSC «Gazprom» trademarks as well as the contracts for disposal of the exclusive rights to trademarks to JSC «Gazprom» (Paragraphs 81 to 88, and 91 of the Draft Resolution) are to be concluded to strengthen JSC «Gazprom» image as a vertically integrated company, to promote goods, work and services on the market, as well as to consolidate in the Company the exclusive rights to trademarks with the GAZPROM / ГАЗПРОМ verbal element.

The transactions envisaged in the Draft Resolution fall within the related party transactions, mostly for the participation of some members of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company’s Management Committee in management of the legal entities being parties to (beneficiaries of) the transactions.

The exception is the transactions with VTB Bank OJSC (Paragraphs 3, 6, 10, 13, 14, 16, 21, 23, and 25 of the Draft Resolution), Rosselkhozbank OJSC (Paragraphs 9 and 26 of the Draft Resolution) and Transneft JSC OJSC (Paragraph 49 of the Draft Resolution), which are related party transactions for the Russian Federation holds over a 20% stake in JSC «Gazprom» and the said companies.
