Interactions with Investors

MegaFon is primarily focused on ensuring maximum clarity and transparency in its communications with the Company’s shareholders and the investment community generally, all in conformity with Russian and English laws, as well as international best practice.

A dedicated website in English, www.ir.megafon.com, was launched to support our interactions with MegaFon’s shareholders and the investment community, along with the “For Investors” section of the Russian website, www.corp.megafon.ru, featuring mandatory disclosure documents, corporate documents, the Company’s financial statements under IFRS and RAS, information about the ordinary shares and GDRs, share price information, and a calendar of key corporate events and activities.

In 2015, MegaFon took the following actions to make communication with the investment community more complete and transparent:

1. Prepared and published reports on the Company’s financial and operational results under IFRS for FY2014 and Q1–Q3 2015.
   
   The disclosure of quarterly results was accompanied by conference calls and webcasts with analysts and investors in which the Company’s top management participated.
2. Prepared and published the Company’s 2014 Annual Report.
3. Participated in eight conferences organised by international and Russian investment banks, where meetings with representatives of over 150 institutional investors were held.
4. Held on-site one-on-one meetings and site-visit group meetings with representatives of 50 international and Russian investors.
5. Organised and conducted two roadshows to meet institutional investors based in the United States.

To support our interactions with MegaFon's shareholders we have the "For Investors" section on the corporate websites: corp.megafon.com (English version) and corp.megafon.ru (Russian version), featuring mandatory disclosure documents, corporate documents, the Company’s financial statements under IFRS and RAS, information about the ordinary shares and GDRs, share price information, and a calendar of key corporate events and activities.

In 2015, MegaFon was awarded a prize at the XVIII Annual Report Competition, organised by the Moscow Exchange and RCB Media Group, for the Best Annual Report in the Telecommunications Industry category. In making its award, the jury cited its highly illustrative content and detailed disclosure of information to investors and customers.

The Company’s 2014 Annual Report was also shortlisted in two categories of the prestigious Best Practice Awards by the UK Investor Relations Society.

Information on the analysts covering the Company’s GDRs and publishing reports on a regular basis is available on the corporate IR website at Company's website.
