As a public company listed on Russian and UK stock exchanges, MegaFon understands that prevention of illegal uses of its considerable amounts of insider information is a top priority.

The Company consistently implements safeguards to ensure the security of insider information, making improvements to its data security framework every year. As part of these efforts, in 2012, the Board of Directors approved a number of regulations on the use of the Company's insider information. In the period 2013 - 2015 MegaFon implemented additional internal procedures to restrict access to insider information and insider information protection tools, including those applicable for mobile devices.

MegaFon plans to continue to further develop its insider information protection system and roll out additional protection tools. MegaFon will also continue to provide training and follow up testing for Company employees to raise staff awareness of insider information security, which is critical to our business.
