In June 2019, the Company completed the buy-back of the remaining shares held by non-affiliated shareholders. Beforehand, the Board of Directors determined that remaining a public company is no longer a strategic priority for MegaFon, and subsequently approved a program to buy back the Company’s ordinary shares and GDRs and to cancel MegaFon’s GDR listing on the London Stock Exchange. MegaFon’s shares were traded on the Moscow Exchange until June 2019 and on the London Stock Exchange until October 2018.
