Dear Depositors,
If, for any reason, the applicant had applied for conversion as per the ordinary procedure before or after filing the application for mandatory conversion with Bank GPB (JSC) and received PJSC Gazprom shares as a result of voluntary conversion in another depository after the application had been executed and PJSC Gazprom shares had been credited by Bank GPB (JSC), the depositor must take steps to return the extra shares received from Bank GPB (JSC) so that such double crediting is not considered unjustified gain of property (unlawful possession).
To do so, the deponent needs to submit a written request to the depository of Bank GPB (JSC) either in person or via a representative (acting on the basis of a properly executed power of attorney specifying the required powers) to any convenient office of Bank GPB (JSC) where depository services are provided.

1. Confirmation of availability of depositary receipts issued for PJSC Gazprom shares on your account with a foreign entity (broker/depository) on or after 21 November 2022. 2.

Document confirming that you were a holder of depositary receipts, issued for PJSC Gazprom shares, before 1 March 2022, for example, securities account statements (copies thereof), broker reports (copies thereof), or purchase agreements (copies thereof).
