There is no connection between M.S. Bystrov and the Company, a substantial shareholder, competitors of the Company, the state.

M.S. Bystrov satisfies formal criteria of connection with the Company's substantial counterparties - JSC ATS, JSC SO UES, JSC CFS and ANCO TC Market Council, since the amount of obligations between the Company and each of the counterparties executed in the last year exceeds 2 % of the book value of assets and 2% of the proceeds of each of the counterparties.

To note that the connection between M.S. Bystrov and substantial counterparties of the Company - JSC ATS, JSC SO UES, JSC CFS and ANCO TC Market Council is of a formal nature and does not affect the ability of M.S. Bystrov to act on the Board of Directors for the benefit of the Company and all its shareholders due to the following reasons:

- JSC ATS (Joint Stock Company Administrator of the Trading System of the Wholesale Electricity Market) renders to the Company services of a commercial operator of the wholesale electricity and capacity market in the manner provided for in para. 7 of Art. 33 of the Federal Law of 26.03.2003 No. 35-FZ "On Electric Power Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the Federal Law on Electric Power Industry), under the Agreement on accession to the wholesale market trading system. Commercial relations between the Company and JSC ATS are based on the principle of non-discriminatory access to the services of wholesale market commercial infrastructure organizations (Article 20 of the Federal Law on Electric Power Industry, Government Decree No. 861 of 27.12.2004) and the principle of state regulation of tariffs for services of commercial operators of the wholesale electricity and capacity market (Art. 23.1 of the Federal Law on Electric Power Industry);

- JSC SO UES (Joint Stock Company System Operator of the Unified Energy System) provides the Company with operational dispatch management services in the power industry due to the status of the system operator fixed by paragraph 1 of Article 12 of the Federal Law on Electric Power Industry, under the Agreement on accession to the wholesale market trading system. Commercial relations between the Company and JSC SO UES are based on the principle of non-discriminatory access to the operational dispatch management services in the power industry (Articles 6, 20 of the Federal Law on Electric Power Industry, Government Decree No. 861 of 27.12.2004) and the principle of state regulation of tariffs for operational dispatch management services (Art. 23.1 of the Federal Law on Electric Power Industry);

- JSC CFS (Joint Stock Company Centre for Financial Settlements) belongs to the organizations of commercial infrastructure of the Wholesale market for electricity and capacity (hereinafter referred to as the WMEC) of the Russian Federation, ensuring the functioning of the contractual design of the wholesale market and the system of financial settlements between its entities, it provides JSC RusHydro with services under the Agreement on accession to the wholesale market trading system. The Agreement was concluded in accordance with para. 1 of Art. 32 of the Federal Law on Electric Power Industry, para. 40 of the Rules of the Wholesale market for electricity and power approved by the Decree of the RF Government of 27 December 2010 No. 1172.

Commercial relations between the Company and JSC CFS are based on the principle of non-discriminatory access to the services of wholesale market commercial infrastructure organizations (Article 20 of the Federal Law on Electric Power Industry, Government Decree No. 861 of 27.12.2004). A unified payment amount for the complex service of JSC CFS is approved by the Supervisory Board of the Association NP Market Council for all counterparties.

ANCO TC Market Council (Autonomous non-commercial organization of additional professional education Training Centre of NP Market Council), established under the Association NP Market Council - infrastructure organization for wholesale and retail trading in electric energy and capacity, renders services to the Company in the field of education and training the specialists in organizing an effective system of wholesale and retail trading in electricity and capacity.

Due to the fact that the Rules of the WMEC adopted by the Supervisory Board of the Association NP Market Council change on a monthly basis in order to maintain a high level of knowledge in the procedures of the WMEC and to receive information on current and planned changes in the WMEC, employees of PJSC RusHydro shall pass the training at the source - in ANCO TC Market Council. The training agreements between JSC RusHydro and ANCO TC Market Council shall be concluded on market terms.

Track record of M.S. Bystrov in the Board of Directors of the Company demonstrates his ability to make independent, objective and conscientious judgements, since the position of M.S. Bystrov on the agenda items of meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees under the Board of Directors is based on his professionalism and experience, is discretionary and independent, and decisions taken by M.S. Bystrov make it possible to conclude that his formal connection with substantial counterparties of the Company - JSC ATS, JSC SO UES, JSC CFS and ANCO TC Market Council does not affect adoption thereof, as M.S. Bystrov acts in the interests of the Company and all its shareholders.

Guided by paragraph 2 of Section 2.18 of Annex 2, as well as the Annex 4.1 to the Rules of listing of PJSC Moscow Exchange, entered into force on 01.10.2017, to recognize Maxim Sergeyevich Bystrov as an independent director.

There is no connection between S.N. Ivanov and the Company, substantial counterparties of the Company, competitors of the Company.

S.N. Ivanov satisfies formal criteria of connection with:

- a substantial shareholder of the Company - the Russian Federation, since S.N. Ivanov is a member of the Board of Directors of more than two organizations under the control of the Russian Federation - LLC RT-Capital, JSC RT - Construction Technologies and PJSC RusHydro;

- the state since S.N. Ivanov is the General Director of LLC RT-Capital, an organization controlled by the Russian Federation.

To note that the connection between S.N. Ivanov with a substantial shareholder of the Company and the state is of a formal nature and does not affect the ability of S.N. Ivanov to act on the Board of Directors for the benefit of the Company and all its shareholders due to the following reasons:

- in accordance with the Order of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 513-r of 22.03.2017, S.N. Ivanov was nominated by the Russian Federation as an independent director, in this regard, S.N. Ivanov has no obligation to vote on the directives of the Government of the Russian Federation (para. 16 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 738 of 03.12.2004);

- the control of the Russian Federation over LLC RT-Capital is indirect and is carried out through the Rostec State Corporation, managed through governance bodies, common for the commercial organization, which neutralizes the ability of the Russian Federation to influence the adoption by S.N. Ivanov of objective and independent decisions.

- Track record if S.N. Ivanov in the Board of Directors of the Company demonstrates his ability to make independent, objective and conscientious judgements, since the position of S.N. Ivanov on the agenda items of meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees under the Board of Directors is based on his professionalism and experience, is discretionary and independent, and decisions taken by S.N. Ivanov make it possible to conclude that his formal connection with a substantial shareholder of the Company and the state does not affect adoption thereof, as S.N. Ivanov acts in the interests of the Company and all its shareholders.
