NOMOS-BANK shareholders to decide on placing additional issue of shares for 4,999 milliard Roubles

An extraordinary general meeting of NOMOS-BANK shareholders will take place on 29th April. Its participants will examine the issue of increasing the Bank’s capital via an additional placement of common stock nominal non-documentary shares. The issue will comprise 6,944,444 (six million nine hundred fourty-four thousand four hundred and fourty-four shares) with a par value of 50 Roubles each. The price at placement will be 720 Roubles per share. The Bank will obtain the total of 4,999 milliard Roubles as the result of the placement.

The placement of the additional issue of NOMOS-BANK’s common stock nominal shares is carried out via closed subscription with the participation of the Bank’s existing shareholder -Russia Finance Corporation, — as well as ZAO “Yeniseyskaya Investment Company”. Both companies act in the interest of the Bank’s current shareholders. The placement will not change the percentage of shares held by the Bank’s Russian and foreign shareholders.

“Capital increase is linked to the Bank’s plans to significantly build up assets in 2010, — noted Dmitriy Sokolov, President of NOMOS-BANK. — Alongside that, we plan to maintain a high capital adequacy ratio”. As of 1 March 2010, the Bank’s own capital adequacy ratio (H1) is 18.75.
