Management Committee proposes to hold annual General Shareholders Meeting of Gazprom via absentee voting

The Gazprom Management Committee addressed issues associated with arranging and holding the Company's annual General Shareholders Meeting.

The Management Committee endorsed the proposals to hold the annual General Shareholders Meeting of Gazprom in the form of absentee voting and to set the deadline for ballot submission as June 30, 2023.

In addition, the Management Committee approved the proposals on:

• the procedure for notifying shareholders about the Meeting;
• the composition of the Shareholders Meeting Presidium and its Chairman;
• the list of information materials for the Meeting that will be sent to Gazprom's shareholders within the timeframes and to the addresses indicated in the Meeting notice.

The aforementioned proposals will be submitted to the Board of Directors for consideration.

The Management Committee resolved to submit for consideration to the Board of Directors Gazprom's Annual Accounting (Financial) Statements for 2022 compiled in accordance with the Russian legislation, as well as the following draft documents:

• the Shareholders Meeting agenda;
• the notice on the holding of the Meeting.

The Management Committee approved the composition of the Shareholders Meeting Drafting Commission.

The Management Committee resolved to propose to the Board of Directors to nominate FBK to be appointed by the Shareholders Meeting as the Company's auditor. In 2023, the open tender in electronic form was held to select an auditing company responsible for performing the statutory annual audit of Gazprom for 2023, 2024 and 2025. Based on the results of the tender, FBK was selected as the Company's auditor.

The Management Committee approved and submitted to the Board of Directors draft amendments to Gazprom's Articles of Association, as well as to the regulations on the General Shareholders Meeting, the Board of Directors, and the Management Committee of the Company. The amendments had been made mainly in line with the changes in the Federal Law on Joint Stock Companies.
