Pursuant to an agreement that entered into force on 6 November 2023, RCS Issuer Services S.AR.L has been appointed as the new depositary bank for the Company’s GDR programme under Regulation S, replacing the Bank of New York Mellon.

Commenting on the change, Etalon Group CEO Gennadiy Shcherbina said:

“In late 2022, we undertook a programme aimed at resolving our infrastructure issue. We have done a great deal of work, having already successfully completed several important stages on the road to overcoming infrastructure-related challenges. In July, for example, Etalon Group received primary listing status on Moscow Exchange. Now, as planned, we have changed the depositary bank administering our Regulation S GDR programme. Every step of the way, we are committed to adhering to high standards of corporate governance and to informing our stakeholders about key decisions and initiatives that bring us closer to resolving our infrastructure issue.”
