STATEMENT BY THE CHAIRMAN<br />

OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD<br />

OF ALFA GROUP CONSORTIUM<br />

“We are not bankers, nor are we oil or telecommunications or <strong>retail</strong><br />

experts. We are i<strong>nv</strong>estors. We do not have a business which we have<br />

been i<strong>nv</strong>olved in all of our lives. We are people who are able to assess<br />

and anticipate certain market trends, understand which businesses<br />

will develop faster and which businesses will stagnate or decline and<br />

based on these considerations, we make competent i<strong>nv</strong>estments.<br />

At the same time, we are not “silent” i<strong>nv</strong>estors – we work hard<br />

on the companies we have i<strong>nv</strong>ested in and we attract professional<br />

managers who we can trust. We know that someday we will leave<br />

these businesses and make other i<strong>nv</strong>estments when we consider the<br />

price, time and place are right.”<br />

Mikhail Fridman<br />

As world economies began to settle by mid-2009, Russia benefited more than most<br />

markets from low global interest rates and shrinking spreads, lower borrowing costs<br />

combined with a weaker dollar, rising commodity prices and i<strong>nv</strong>estors’ renewed risk<br />

appetite. These factors, combined with a low base effect, pushed the RTS Exchange up<br />

by 129% in 2009 – the 2nd best performing market in the world.<br />

The optimism of 2009, however, proved to be short lived. What initially looked like<br />

a continuation of the 2009 rally faded during 2010 on concerns over the slow pace of<br />

domestic recovery, a notable acceleration in inflation, lackluster growth in real wages<br />

and household consumption, and a mixed - and at times unstable - global picture.<br />

Notwithstanding this, the RTS Exchange managed to rise 23% in 2010 – better than some<br />

developing markets, but lagging others.<br />

Looking forward, there are, however, a number of expected trends and developments which<br />

should provide sturdy support to Russia’s economic and i<strong>nv</strong>estment climate. Chief among<br />

them are Russia’s intended accession to the WTO (expected mid- 2011) and the start of a<br />

new round of planned privatization, both of which should act as an anchor for long-term<br />

reform, and help to improve overall i<strong>nv</strong>estment attractiveness of Russia. In particular,<br />

WTO accession should positively impact on a number of policy initiatives including<br />

foreign direct i<strong>nv</strong>estment, domestic consumption and judicial reform. Additionally, while<br />

domestic recovery is expected to be largely driven by consumption, i<strong>nv</strong>entory stocking<br />

and fixed i<strong>nv</strong>estment is expected to accelerate during 2011 and contribute to growth, after<br />

lagging behind most other parts of the world. Also, importantly, as the Russian middle<br />

class continues to increase in size and importance the Russian economy will become<br />

increasingly robust and sustainable.<br />

While no one is certain how the worldwide economic situation will develop, we can be fairly<br />

certain the ensuing years will be characterized by volatility and fragility – particularly in


4<br />

the case of Russia which will continue to be buffeted by fears over the global e<strong>nv</strong>ironment<br />

and the price of oil. Irrespective of how global and domestic events continue to unfold, we<br />

are certain that opportunities will continue to emerge from the historical changes that are<br />

now taking place in world economies and markets. During 2010 and 2011 we were busy<br />

taking advantage of these opportunities. Highlights include:<br />

In March 2010, <strong>Alfa</strong>-Bank Russia placed US $600 mln in Eurobonds. The issue was<br />

oversubscribed by five times and was the first Eurobond placement of the largest privately<br />

owned Russian banks in 2010;<br />

In April 2010, in connection with Altimo and Telenor ASA’s intention to combine<br />

VimpelCom <strong>Group</strong> and Kyivstar GSM assets under a common holding, the exchange offer<br />

for OJSC VimpelCom shares and ADRs was successfully completed clearing the way for<br />

the establishment of the newly created VimpelCom Ltd;<br />

In June 2010, MegaFon acquired Synterra, the third largest fixed-line operator in terms<br />

of backbone network in Russia, for US $745 mln (including debt). This transaction was<br />

the first strategically important step towards transforming MegaFon into a universal<br />

telecommunications operator;<br />

In September 2010, X5 Retail <strong>Group</strong> N.V. refinanced early its 3-year US $1.1 bln syndicated<br />

facility with a new 3-year US $800 mln equivalent dual-currency (RUB and USD) club<br />

facility. The club facility fully meets X5’s needs for a diversified debt portfolio and provides<br />

good flexibility in managing X5’s liquidity and debt maturities;<br />

In October 2010, TNK-BP acquired various stakes in BP’s oil assets in Venezuela and in<br />

infrastructure projects and gas assets in Vietnam for US $1.8 bln;<br />

In November 2010, in accordance with its intention to expand internationally, TNK-BP<br />

signed a cooperation agreement with the Vietnamese state corporation PetroVietnam<br />

outlining steps for further collaboration to expand TNK-BP’s upstream and downstream<br />

oil and gas business in Vietnam and to support PetroVietnam in its intention to develop its<br />

upstream business in Russia;<br />

In December 2010, X5 Retail <strong>Group</strong> N.V. purchased 100% of the business and assets of<br />

Kopeyka discount food <strong>retail</strong> chain for RUB 51.5 bln (including RUB 16.5 bln assumed<br />

debt). The deal strengthens X5’s number one food <strong>retail</strong> position in Russia, is an excellent<br />

strategic fit and provides attractive value for shareholders as X5 expects to realize<br />

significant synergies and strong upside potential in sales density, profitability and cash<br />

flow generation at Kopeyka;<br />

In April 2011, VimpelCom Ltd. merged with Wind Telecom S.p.A. creating the sixth largest<br />

mobile telecommunications carrier by subscribers in the world. The combined company<br />

will operate in 20 countries covering a population of 843 mln persons, with over 181 mln<br />

subscribers;<br />

In June 2011, <strong>Alfa</strong> <strong>Group</strong> sold its 25.2% stake in CTC Media, Inc. to a strategic i<strong>nv</strong>estor for<br />

US $1.09 bln;<br />

In June 2011, Altimo sold a 6% stake in VimpelCom Ltd. to a strategic i<strong>nv</strong>estor which<br />

reduced Altimo’s voting stake in VimpelCom Ltd. to just below 25%.


5<br />

We believe strongly in the future of each of our companies as they are without exception,<br />

well managed, fundamentally sound businesses which are leaders in their respective<br />

fields. While the excesses of the past continue to be purged from the system and while<br />

i<strong>nv</strong>estors, consumers and the markets at-large continue to search for a new equilibrium<br />

the <strong>Group</strong> and its companies, as always, will capitalize on the very best opportunities<br />

which will present themselves.<br />

On behalf of the Supervisory Board, I wish to thank all of our clients and business partners<br />

for their unwavering trust and support. I would also like to express my appreciation to<br />

<strong>Alfa</strong> <strong>Group</strong>’s management for their talented and continuing contributions.<br />

Mikhail Fridman<br />

ALFA GROUP’S INVESTMENT<br />

PHILOSOPHY<br />

We rely on our i<strong>nv</strong>estment philosophy to generate superior returns for our shareholders<br />

over the long term, to promote sound corporate governance and business practices, and<br />

to benefit our partners, counterparties, employees, the Russian consumer and society at<br />

large.<br />

•<br />

We are opportunistic i<strong>nv</strong>estors.<br />

Simply stated, we are value-oriented i<strong>nv</strong>estors. In evaluating any i<strong>nv</strong>estment opportunity,<br />

our i<strong>nv</strong>estment philosophy is driven by the opportunity to purchase assets that, due to<br />

perceived risk, low liquidity, disinterest or a lack of understanding on the part of market<br />

participants, are undervalued.<br />

•<br />

We believe the most attractive opportunities are in world emerging markets.<br />

Much of our past success has been the result of our comprehensive knowledge and<br />

understanding of emerging markets, in particular, the Russian and CIS markets. We<br />

believe there are still substantial opportunities in the world’s emerging markets and that<br />

we are well placed to take full advantage of them.<br />

•<br />

We are interested in i<strong>nv</strong>estments over which we can exercise control or significant<br />

influence.<br />

We typically make i<strong>nv</strong>estments on the basis that we will have either majority or joint<br />

control or significant influence, through share ownership board representation, or both.<br />

Non-controlled i<strong>nv</strong>estments are generally not attractive to us because the lack of control<br />

makes it difficult to guide the development of these companies and maximize shareholder<br />

value. Joint control is acceptable in cases where the joint venture partner is reliable and<br />

brings experience or skills that complement our own, or shares funding obligations and<br />

risks, which due to their size or nature, we wish to share.<br />

•<br />

We typically take a longer-term view, in order to realize the full potential of our<br />

i<strong>nv</strong>estments.<br />

The fact that we typically hold controlling stakes in the companies in which we i<strong>nv</strong>est<br />

makes any planned exit strategy tenuous. This is particularly true of direct, privatelyheld<br />

i<strong>nv</strong>estments. We therefore take this time to do everything necessary to develop our<br />

i<strong>nv</strong>estments, thus making them more attractive to a potential buyer. While we do not<br />

particularly welcome the inflexibility of being wed to an i<strong>nv</strong>estment for the longer term,<br />

we lower our risks by seeking undervalued i<strong>nv</strong>estments that provide ample down side<br />

protection and, when possible, interim cash flows.<br />

•<br />

We view co-operation with foreign i<strong>nv</strong>estors and the attraction of foreign capital<br />

as important to the development of our companies.<br />

Foreign i<strong>nv</strong>estors provide not only capital i<strong>nv</strong>estment, but also the expertise which is<br />

needed to successfully develop and realize the full value of our i<strong>nv</strong>estments. We know<br />

from experience that the failure to attract longer-term foreign i<strong>nv</strong>estment will result in<br />

under-developed assets and missed business opportunities. Also, with regard to exit<br />

strategy, sale to foreign i<strong>nv</strong>estors provides us with a logical and attractive means of exiting<br />

our i<strong>nv</strong>estments.


15<br />

•<br />

First and foremost we are i<strong>nv</strong>estors, not business managers.<br />

We do not consider ourselves experts in managing and operating the companies that we<br />

own – we leave the day-to-day management and operating decisions of our companies<br />

to professional, competent management with industry experience. Our companies are<br />

independent entities and are given fairly wide latitude to conduct their affairs. We do,<br />

however, actively advise and take decisions on important strategic matters that have<br />

an impact on the shareholder value of our companies. We also continually evaluate<br />

management and measure the financial performance of our i<strong>nv</strong>estments.<br />

•<br />

We are guided by the philosophy of i<strong>nv</strong>esting in only those companies that are<br />

leaders in their respective fields of business.<br />

We require those in which we i<strong>nv</strong>est to be one of the top three in their business field or<br />

with a clear potential to become one of the top three within a reasonable period. Where we<br />

see that our i<strong>nv</strong>estments are not meeting this criterion, we take active measures to divest<br />

and free up our financial and management resources for more effective i<strong>nv</strong>estments.

Russia. The Company is owned and managed by BP (50%) and by <strong>Alfa</strong> <strong>Group</strong> Consortium<br />

(25%), and Access Industries and Renova <strong>Group</strong> (25%). TNK-BP’s strategy is to build a<br />

world-class company in Russia with a strong focus on efficiency, sustainability, renewal<br />

and the introduction of new technologies. Another of TNK-BP’s goals is to monetize its<br />

substantial portfolio and increase the share of gas to 20% of total production by 2020.<br />

oil company which is currently managed as an independent company.<br />

200 exploration and production licenses). The latest audit confirms that as of 31 December<br />

2010, TNK-BP’s Total Proved Reserves were 13.1 billion barrels of oil equivalent, applying<br />

PRMS (formerly SPE) criteria. The Company’s upstream operations are located primarily in<br />

West Siberia (Tyumen Region, including Khanty-Mansiysk and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous<br />

Districts), East Siberia (Irkutsk Region), and Volga-Urals (Orenburg Region). In 2010,<br />

average daily oil production totaled 1.74 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (excluding<br />

a 50% interest of Slavneft).<br />

ALTIMO<br />

Altimo is one of the leading i<strong>nv</strong>estment companies with interests in Russia, the CIS,<br />

Europe, Asia and Africa, operating in the field of mobile and fixed-line communications.<br />

Through substantial managing stakes in three major telecoms companies, Altimo<br />

has a presence in 24 world markets. Together, Altimo’s i<strong>nv</strong>estee companies service<br />

approximately 300 million mobile phone subscribers.<br />

Altimo’s Strategy<br />

Altimo focuses on three main strategic objectives: managing its existing asset portfolio;<br />

entering new markets; and consolidating assets to create a leading telecom company<br />

on the emerging markets of the world. Altimo works with the senior management of<br />

the companies in which it i<strong>nv</strong>ests to unlock each company’s full potential and to increase<br />

the value of its assets. Altimo does not plan to exit its i<strong>nv</strong>estments in the medium-term.<br />

Altimo is a financial i<strong>nv</strong>estor and normally takes substantial minority positions in<br />

companies which do not have a controlling shareholder. This form of balanced corporate<br />

governance allows the management of the mobile operator to operate independently and<br />

in the interest of all shareholders of the company.<br />

Altimo is attracted by countries with large populations, low mobile penetration rates, a<br />

high GDP growth rate and little competition. These criteria are met in Asia and Africa,<br />

where Altimo is actively seeking new i<strong>nv</strong>estment opportunities.<br />

Altimo seeks to further restructure its i<strong>nv</strong>estment portfolio in order to create one of the<br />

leading mobile telecoms emerging markets players. By optimizing its asset portfolio,<br />

Altimo will ensure that it remains a prominent force in the international mobile telecoms<br />

market.<br />

X5 RETAIL GROUP N.V.<br />

X5 Retail <strong>Group</strong> N.V. (“<strong>Group</strong>” or “X5”) is Russia’s largest food <strong>retail</strong>er in terms of sales. X5<br />

uses a multi-format strategy to simultaneously develop three formats: soft discounters,<br />

supermarkets, and hypermarkets. The <strong>Group</strong> was created on 18 May 2006 as a result<br />

of a merger between the leading national supermarket chain Perekrestok and one of<br />

the largest Russian soft discounter chains Pyaterochka. In June 2008 the <strong>Group</strong> acquired<br />

Karusel hypermarket chain and immediately established a leading position in the Russian<br />

hypermarket segment. In December 2010 the <strong>Group</strong> acquired Kopeyka soft discounter<br />

chain to reinforce its position in the Russian soft discounter segment. The <strong>Group</strong>’s shares<br />

are traded on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) under the ticker “FIVE”.<br />

leading international chains as an equal. The strategy relies on multi-format growth<br />

and regional expansion from organic growth and M&A transactions, with a particular<br />

focus on the fast-growing soft discounter segment. I<strong>nv</strong>estments into the development<br />

of logistics infrastructure and IT-systems upgrade support the <strong>Group</strong>’s aggressive plans<br />

of development and strengthen its competitive position in the long-term. The <strong>Group</strong>’s<br />

overriding goal is to provide shareholders with the best return on i<strong>nv</strong>estment in<br />

SPONSORSHIP AND CHARITY<br />

Serving Our Communities<br />

<strong>Alfa</strong> <strong>Group</strong> and its companies are known for their multi-year tradition of charitable<br />

activities and for the patronage of Russia’s historical, cultural and spiritual heritage. While<br />

we aim to achieve leadership in all the businesses we operate, we strive not to lose sight<br />

of the importance of giving back to the society and communities in which we do business.<br />

Our policy is not to impose global social programs on our managers but to empower them<br />

to decide what is right for their businesses and the local societies where they operate.<br />

So while the challenges we address are global, such as education, culture, health, and the<br />

e<strong>nv</strong>ironment, the emphasis given to each of these themes differs from region to region.<br />

Through constant efforts to create the conditions for a flourishing society, we are also<br />

laying the foundations for our own long-term success.<br />

Humanitarian Activities<br />
