ON THE SUPERMARKETS BUSINESS

O'KEY is considering various options for developing its business to increase the shareholder value, including the changes to the asset portfolio. One option under consideration for optimising the portfolio is the sale of the supermarket business under the O'KEY brand to have a stronger focus on the development of hypermarkets and discounters.

However, no decision has been made yet, and any detailed comments would be premature.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

O'KEY is one of the largest retail chains in Russia. The Company operates via three main formats: hypermarkets and supermarkets under the "O'KEY" brand and discounters under the "DA!" brand. O'KEY is the first Russian food retailer to launch e-commerce operations in St. Petersburg and Moscow, based on its hypermarket assortment.

The Group opened its first hypermarket in St. Petersburg in 2002 and has since demonstrated continuous growth. As of November 1, 2017, the Group operates 169 stores across Russia - 72 hypermarkets, 37 supermarkets and 60 discounters.
