Pursuant to Par. 1 Article 47 of the Federal Law “On Joint-Stock Companies” No 208-FZ of December 26, 1995 this agenda item is mandatory for a review by an annual general shareholders’ meeting.

This net profit amount is planned to be distributed as follows: – To increase the reserves. According to the annual accounting statements of the Company for 2014 the Company’s reserves as on December 31, 2014 amounted to RUB 364 thousand. Pursuant to Par. 11.2 of the Company Charter the reserves amount shall be fifteen percent (15%) of the Company’s charter capital, or RUB 1,092 thousand (i.e. RUB 7,280 thousand multiplied by 0.15). Thus, the current amount of reserves is insufficient. In order to ensure compliance with requirement of Par. 11.2. of the Charter, the Company should allocate part of the Company’s profit for 2014, and precisely, RUB 728 thousand to reach the reserves amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the Company’s charter capital. – To make dividend payments on the Company shares. Following a recommendation of the Board of Directors it is planned to allocate RUB 9,451,750 thousand payable as dividend for 2014 on the Company’s shares. The explanation of determination of this dividend amount can be found below in the information on item 4 on the agenda of the Annual general annual shareholders’ meeting of Rostelecom. – The remaining part of Rostelecom profit for 2014 amounting to RUB 20,032,131 thousand is planned to be allocated to increase the Company equity.

Pursuant to Par. 1 Article 47 of the Federal Law “On Joint-Stock Companies” No 208-FZ of December 26, 1995 this agenda item is mandatory for a review by an annual general shareholders’ meeting.

Nevertheless, if the dividend payable by the Company per each ordinary share in

1 INFORMATION ON THE AGENDA a certain year exceeds the dividend amount payable per each preference Class A share the dividend amount payable for the same should be increased up to the dividend amount payable per ordinary share. Therefore, the dividend amount upon results of 2014 payable per 1 (one) preference share should be determined as follows: ten percent (10%) of the net profit in 2014 (RUB 29,484,609 thousand), equal to RUB 2,948,460.9 thousand divided by the product of twenty five percent (25%) and the total number of all outstanding shares (2,912,035,770 shares in total), which is equal to 728,008,942.5 shares. The dividend amount payable per 1(one) preference share upon results of 2014 is equal to RUB 4.050033904632. According to Par. 5.3 of Rostelecom Dividend Policy the total amount payable as dividend for a year on ordinary shares is determined to be equal to at least twenty percent (20%) of the Company net profit according to IFRS for the past fiscal year. The recommended dividend amount upon results of 2014 payable per 1 (one) ordinary share is RUB 3.34108279423228. Thus, the total allocated amount to be distributed as dividend payments on ordinary shares upon results of 2014 will amount to 22.8% of the Company net profit according to IFRS, on ordinary and preference shares – to 25.0% of the Company net profit according to IFRS.

Agenda item 15: Reduction of the Company’s charter capital by way of cancelling shares previously bought back by the Company. The item is put on the Meeting agenda following a proposal made by the Board of Directors. Currently, the Company holds the following quantities of its own shares: 94,289,347 ordinary and 33,266,322 preference shares (the Treasury Shares). The Company became the owner of these shares after share buy- backs undertaken on demand of shareholders in 2013-2014 according to the Articles 75-76 of the Federal Law “On Joint-Stock Companies” No 208-FZ of 26.12.1995 (the “Companies Law”). The Treasury Shares confer on the Company no voting rights, they are not taken into account in vote counting at general shareholders’ meeting and no dividends accrue on them. According to Par. 6 Article 76 of the Companies Law, Treasury Shares shall be disposed of at a price at least equal to their market value and not later than within one year after the ownership right for shares subject to a buy-back was transferred to the Company, otherwise a general shareholders’ meeting of the Company should pass a resolution to decrease the Company’s charter capital by way of cancelling such shares. As a result of cancellation of the Treasury Shares, the Company’s charter capital will be decreased by RUB 318,889.1725 to RUB 6,961,200.2525. The total amount of Rostelecom’s outstanding shares will amount to 2,784,480,101 shares, including 2,574,914,954 ordinary shares and 209,565,147 preference shares. Shareholders’ stakes in the Company’s charter capital will be increased pro rata by 4.58%, by 3.66% in terms of ordinary shares, and by 15.87% in terms of preference shares respectively.

Agenda item 16: Approval of related party transactions that may be concluded between Rostelecom and JSC VTB Bank in the future in the course of ordinary business of Rostelecom. The item is put on the agenda following a proposal of the Board of Directors. In order to reduce costs related to debt financing, the Company on a regular basis monitors various opportunities to secure funds to finance its activities, in particular, to draw on funds allocated according to the Russian Government decree 1044 of October 11, 2014 on approval of Investment Project Support Program for projects being implemented in the Russian Federation and based on project financing. Such funds are available through authorized banks only, with JSC VTB Bank (the “Bank”) being one of the authorized banks under the program.

14 INFORMATION ON THE AGENDA

Within the framework of this government support of investment projects essential for the Russian economy a possibility of filing applications is considered to receive funds to finance three projects of the Company, with the total value of such funds reaching up to RUB 60 billion. In this case the Bank can be considered as one of the candidates selected to provide the funds. Moreover, in the period from July 2015 to June 2016 the Company plans to undertake refinancing of a number of bank loan facilities and bond issues with a total value of some RUB 30 billion with funds to be raised by the Company through public bidding. In the event that the Bank becomes the Company’s lender in the above listed cases, such deals will be recognized as related party transactions, since the Federal Agency for State Property Management will be a related party, as the Agency controls both 20% or more of ordinary voting shares of Rostelecom and VTB Bank. In this context, if the property which is subject-matter of a related party transaction (or a number of interconnected transactions) is valued at 2% and more of the balance-sheet value of the Company assets according to financial statements as on the latest reporting date (RUB 10,989 billion as on December 31, 2014), the approval should be adopted by a resolution of Rostelecom general shareholders’ meeting. It is not sensible and reasonable to convene and hold general shareholders’ meetings of the Company just to approve potential transactions like mentioned above, due to significant costs and required time. In order to ensure for the Company a timely possibility of receiving required financial resources, the annual general shareholders’ meeting of Rostelecom is requested according to Par. 6 Article 83 of the Federal Law “On Joint-Stock Companies” to consider approval of related party transactions between Rostelecom and VTB Bank that may be completed in the future in the course of ordinary business of the Company, provided that the limit amount under such transactions should be RUB 90 billion (ninety billion rubles) inclusively, or its equivalent. In the event that the annual general shareholders’ meeting approves such transactions that may be completed by the Company in the future, the Board of Directors in respect of each such transaction will have to adopt a decision concerning determination of the value of the property to be disposed of (interest payable for using loans, bank commissions, etc.) subject to provisions of Article 77 of the Federal Law “On Joint- Stock Companies”, ensuring sufficient control over completion of such transactions. Moreover such transactions are expected to be completed at a price not exceeding the key interest rate of the Bank of Russia plus 4%, or not higher that at MOSPRIME 3M+4% per annum, or a fixed amount equivalent to these rates.

Agenda item 17: Rostelecom participation in Association for Electronic Communications Not-for- Profit Partnership. The item is put on the agenda following a proposal of the Board of Directors.
