The Board of Directors formed the Shareholders Meeting Presidium made up of the Gazprom Board of Directors Members and approved Viktor Zubkov, Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors, as the Chairman of the Shareholders Meeting.

The Board of Directors resolved to recommend that the Shareholders Meeting approve the distribution of Gazprom's profit based on the Company's performance in 2023 by allocating it for the Company's investments.

The Board of Directors made a decision to recommend that the Shareholders Meeting neither declare nor pay out dividends on the shares of Gazprom based on the results of 2023. The recommendation is in line with the provisions of the Company's Dividend Policy.

The meeting resolved to provisionally endorse and submit to the Shareholders Meeting for consideration the 2023 Annual Report of Gazprom and the 2023 Annual Accounting (Financial) Statements of Gazprom prepared in accordance with the Russian legislation.

The meeting approved the proposals on the amounts of remuneration for the Gazprom Board of Directors. The meeting also approved the proposal not to pay out the remunerations to the Gazprom Audit Commission Members, as each of them was holding a state civil service position during the relevant calculation period of the corporate year.

The Board of Directors nominated FBK for appointment as the Company's Auditor by the General Shareholders Meeting of Gazprom. FBK had been selected for said nomination on the basis of the results of an open tender.
