This is our first Annual Report as a public company, following our successful IPO in early 2010. It is an honour to address you as UC RUSAL enters a new phase of development and leaves some of the most challenging times in its history behind. Despite the recent downturn, UC RUSAL, as the global industry leader, not only survived but emerged stronger than ever to take advantage of new growth opportunities. The global financial and economic crisis that started in 2008 had a severe impact on the global demand for aluminium, driving prices to historical lows during the first half of 2009. As a result, UC RUSAL’s financial performance was severely affected, resulting in a liquidity shortage and breach of financial covenants. To guide the Company through these testing times, the Board appointed Mr. Oleg Deripaska as Chief Executive Officer in January 2009. His unrivalled experience in the aluminium industry and understanding of the inner workings of UC RUSAL made him an obvious choice for the role. Under Mr. Deripaska’s leadership, UC RUSAL rose to the challenge presented by unprecedented market conditions and successfully implemented a number of strategic initiatives to improve efficiency and reduce cost throughout its operations. With the support of its international and Russian lenders and the global investment community, and thanks to the effort and commitment of its remarkable management team, UC RUSAL successfully restructured its debt obligations in December 2009 and completed an IPO of its Shares in January 2010. The capital provided by the new investors was a major step forward in strengthening UC RUSAL’s balance sheet and meeting the targets for the agreed debt restructuring ahead of schedule. The successful listing of UC RUSAL on the Stock Exchange and Euronext Paris (in the form of Global Depositary Shares) opens a new and exciting chapter in its corporate life. The listing on the Stock Exchange emphasises UC RUSAL’s strong relationship with its Chinese customers, as well as the growing importance of the Chinese market for the global aluminium industry and the opportunities China’s economic growth is expected to provide. In addition, our important and continuing relationship with European customers who represent the Company’s largest existing market is supported through the listing on Euronext Paris. 11 2009 RUSAL ANNUAL REPORT As the leader in the The Board and I would like to welcome UC RUSAL’s new shareholders to this most global aluminium promising period of its corporate life and we would like to thank our investors for their industry, UC RUSAL is support. We look forward to continuing to work together with you in the future. acutely aware of its duty The Board is committed to the highest standards of corporate governance in to operate in a safe, accordance with international practice. This practice has been followed since the creation sound and socially of the Company to safeguard the interests of minority shareholders through the responsible manner appointment of independent Directors and the establishment of appropriate Board committees, including the audit, remuneration, corporate governance and nomination committees. The Board has been further strengthened by the appointments of Ms. Elsie Leung Oi-sie in November 2009 and Mr. Barry Cheung Chun-yuen in January 2010 as independent non-executive Directors. Both have a wealth of experience and knowledge in relation to companies operating in Hong Kong that complement the Board’s current skill set and provide it with relevant new perspectives. We would like to welcome them both to the UC RUSAL family. As the leader in the global aluminium industry, UC RUSAL is acutely aware of its duty to operate in a safe, sound and socially responsible manner.

    The Globe and Mail (Canada) May 11, 2007 Friday Preferred by the Kremlin, shunned by the States BYLINE: SINCLAIR STEWART, With a report from Greg Keenan in Toronto SECTION: NEWS BUSINESS; STRONACH'S NEW PARTNER: 'ONE OF PUTIN'S FAVOURITE OLIGARCHS'; Pg. A1 LENGTH: 957 words DATELINE: NEW YORK He is perhaps the most powerful of Russia's oligarchs, a precocious - some would say ruthless - billionaire, who built his fortune against the bloody backdrop of that country's "aluminum wars" in the 1990s. He has nurtured close ties to the Kremlin, married the daughter of former president Boris Yeltsin's son-in-law, amassed an estimated $8-billion in personal wealth and built a corporate empire that stretches from metals and automobiles to aircraft and construction. Yet for all his success at home, 39-year-old Oleg Deripaska has struggled for legitimacy in the United States, where he has been dogged by civil lawsuits questioning the methods he used to build that empire. Mr. Deripaska has repeatedly denied allegations levelled against him, and he has not been specifically accused by American authorities of any crime. However, these whispers about shady business dealings may raise concerns about his $1.5-billion investment in Canada's Magna International, not to mention Magna's attempts to win control of DaimlerChrysler, an iconic American company. The United States has recently shown protectionist proclivities, citing national security concerns to quash both a Chinese state-owned oil company's bid for Unocal Ltd. and a planned acquisition of U.S. port service contracts by Dubai Ports World.

  • Russian Advocacy Coalitions
    Russian Advocacy Coalitions A study in Power Resources This study examines the advocacy coalitions in Russia. Using the Advocacy Coalition Framework, it looks at the power resource distribution amongst the coalitions, and how this distribution affects Russian foreign policy. The power resources examined are: Formal Legal Authority; Public Opinion; Information; Mobilizable Troops; and Financial Resources. In addition to this, the study used quantitative and qualitative methods to identify these resources. There are a couple of conclusions we may draw from this study. The method is useful in identifying power resources. It is not enough to use only the distribution of resources amongst coalitions in order to explain policy changes. It is found that the distribution of resources, coupled with coalition interaction, is enough to explain changes in Russian foreign policy.

  • Corporate Sustainability and Environmental Reporting in the Russian Federation 1
    Paper 4 UNITED NATIONS ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE COMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY Working Group on Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Workshop on Environmental Monitoring and Reporting by Enterprises Warsaw, 4-6 September 2006 CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTING IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION 1 Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) In recent years, the problem of socially responsible business (i.e. responsible to the nation or public in general) has been evolving controversially in the Russian Federation. In fact, after the 13 th Congress of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs in 2003, when the President of the Russian Federation called on Russian businesses to become socially responsible, quite an evident process of voluntary activity in this sphere started among the most concerned and strategically thinking representatives of the Russian business community. Basically, those were big private businesses, which entered into an active dialogue with the interested public groups. They began to introduce modern international standards of socially-oriented and environmental management and published their first social reports, sometimes in the sustainability reporting format recognized as the most advanced by the world business leaders. Such businesses mainly comprised major Russian companies and a number of banks, including JSC Norilsk Nickel, JSC LUKOIL, JSC Unified Energy System of Russia, JSC Tatneft, Ilim Pulp Corporation, NOVOGOR-Prikamie LLC, YevrazHolding Ltd, SUAL Group, JSC Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Plant, AKB Rosbank, Togliatti FIA-Bank, etc. However for now, it is only a small group of enthusiastic companies aware of how this work is strategically important for business sustainability. Their activity in this sphere is also aimed at creating clear, effective and regular relationship with regional and municipal authorities, as well as with the civil society.

  • State Intervention in Cross-Border Mergers and Acquisitions
    Balancing Power without Weapons Why do states block some foreign direct investment on national security grounds even when it originates from within their own security com- munity? Government intervention into foreign takeovers of domestic companies is on the rise, and many observers find it surprising that states engage in such behavior not only against their strategic and mil- itary competitors, but also against their closest allies. Ashley Thomas Lenihan argues that such puzzling behavior can be explained by recog- nizing that states use intervention into cross-border mergers and acqui- sitions as a tool of statecraft to internally balance the economic and military power of other states through non-military means. This book tests this theory using quantitative and qualitative analysis of transac- tions in the United States, Russia, China, and fifteen European Union states. It deepens our understanding of why states intervene in foreign takeovers, the relationship between interdependence and conflict, the limits of globalization, and how states are balancing power in new ways. ashley thomas lenihan is a fellow at the Centre for Inter- national Studies at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Her research focuses on the relationship between state power and foreign direct investment from an international relations perspective.

  • Russian Oligarch Oleg Deripaska
    Financial Times (London, England) July 13, 2007 Friday London Edition 1 'I don't need to defend myself' An old dispute returns to haunt Rusal's Deripaska BYLINE: By CATHERINE BELTON SECTION: ANAYLSIS; Pg. 9 LENGTH: 2388 words It is 9am in Krasnoyarsk, western Siberia. Oleg Deripaska, Russia's second richest man, has headed from his Gulfstream private jet to the boardroom at Kraz, the world's second largest aluminium smelter and the heart of his UC Rusal The two men are standing in front of a flow-chart and speaking about Kraz's gemba, the Japanese word for factory floor. Mr Deripaska has become an enthusiastic convert to the Toyota "way", as taught by Mr Youmans. "Don't call me a guru, I'm a coach," the latter says. Two Russian plant directors watch their bosses circumspectly and await instructions, their heads bowed, as Mr Youmans expands on his theory: "We aim to have an impact like the expanding ripple of a pebble dropped in the water," he says. The touchy-feely scene is a world away from a decade ago when Kraz, a symbol of Soviet industrial might, was the grim frontline in a bloody turf war for control of nearly 5 per cent of world aluminium supplies. Management frequently changed hands in armed struggles and three executives linked to the plant were slain. Mr Deripaska is, metaphorically at least, the last man standing from this conflict - and has much to show for his efforts. Rusal is the world's biggest aluminium producer - though it will be overtaken by Rio Tinto and Alcan once the merger announced yesterday between the two rivals is concluded.
