Moscow, Russia- 22 April 2015 - CTC Media Inc.

Yuliana Slashcheva, Chief Executive Officer of CTC Media, said: "Revenue diversification is a particularly important part of our strategy at CTC Media, especially in light of the current state of the advertising market. The development of Sweet Me in 2015 will be an important step in the realization of this strategy. We expect that the partnership with Wildberries, a leading player in Russia's online retail market, will help us reach our sales target of 200 million rubles by year-end."

The first part of the Sweet Me 2015 spring-summer collection, which was developed in partnership with Wildberries, is already available for purchase on the co-branded www.sweetme.wb.ru website, as well as on the official Sweet Me homepage, www.sweetme.ru.

The Sweet Me brand targets modern, active women between the ages of 25 and 50. The brand takes different body shapes and lifestyles into account, focusing on options that are both feminine and comfortable.

Sweet Me also enjoys strong media support, which benefits Wildberries by expanding our consumer base to CTC Media audiences."

The partnership will invest 400 million rubles in the development of the Sweet Me clothing brand over a three-year period following the brand's launch.
