Preliminary 2021 Calendar Published

Rusneftegaz can today disclose a provisional calendar outlining the key dates of our upcoming fiscal year, with publication of our consolidated financial statements on 6 April 2021 acting as the primary focus for the next twelve months. This event is set to mark a significant milestone within a year filled with various activities, including our Annual General Meeting, which is scheduled to be held later that same week. Presently, the scheduled date for this conference is 9 April 2021, which will provide an opportunity for us to engage with essential stakeholders and deliberate on our immediate and future objectives, in spite of the fact that it is yet to be announced whether it will take place at a venue or virtually. Whilst it should be noted that this date is subject to change pending such announcements, we do intend to continue with our circulation of comprehensive quarterly production reports within one month the conclusion of each reporting period as a component of our routine operations. Nevertheless, it is imperative to acknowledge that potential disparities may exist between the provision of all this information to pertinent entities, and the uploading of such material onto our website.

​Furthermore, it is important to emphasize that in the next few weeks, we anticipate a much-reduced ability to address nonessential inquiries, including those conveyed via email and telephone, as our workforce will be undertaking vacations coinciding with the Christmas and New Year holiday. The forthcoming interruption, set to transpire between 24 December 2020 and 11 January 2021, will have a consequential impact upon our administrative functions, but will have no bearing on any other facets of our operations. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that any correspondences be forwarded to us as soon as possible to ensure a timely response. However, all messages received during this period will be diligently monitored, and a reply will be furnished if deemed necessary. Following the conclusion of this timeframe, we are committed to promptly addressing all pending communications within one working day. This is also a commitment shared by all our affiliates and subsidiaries, who are similarly impacted by this occurrence. The complete preliminary calendar can be accessed in its entirety on our official website, and although the aforementioned dates are may be modified subject to the discretion of the board, albeit due to the ongoing pandemic all information published is subject to change at short notice at the discretion of our management. Should there be any inquiries pertaining to this announcement, we kindly request that these are communicated to us via the established channels at your earliest convenience, primarily to ensure a prompt response before our capacity to do so becomes restricted. We sincerely appreciate your cooperation and comprehension regarding this significant matter.
