2.1. Brief description of the event (action), occurrence (performance) of which, in the opinion of the issuer, affects the value of its securities:

RusHydro has confirmed its status as one of Russia's most transparent companies.

In 2017, RusHydro ranked among top five most transparent Russian companies in the corporate transparency rating of the Russian Regional Network on Integrated Reporting (RRN). RusHydro was also among the leaders in the "Responsibility and Openness" index of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RUIE).

RusHydro's RRN rating improved by ten positions as compared to the previous year, aknowledging qualitative improvement in reporting and interaction with shareholders and investors. The company took first place in the power sector and second among systemically important and state-owned companies. A total of 956 major Russian companies took part in the study.

Regional networks are components of the infrastructure of the International Integrated Reporting Council and have been created in 14 countries worldwide, including Australia, England, Brazil, Germany, India, Spain, Russia, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the USA, Turkey, France, South Africa, and Japan. Their main purpose is to create mechanisms tosupport the quality of reporting and promote integrated reporting. The Russian regional network was created in the summer of 2012.

Over the course of the study, a consortium led by RRN analyzed the report on sustainable development as well as the data posted on the company's website. The full disclosure of the information by RusHydro fully corresponds with the first level of transparency. This category includes companies where disclosure complies with the best international practices and reporting, prepared in accordance with international standards, has undergone external verification by an independent professional auditor or public verification.

The RUIE "Responsibility and Openness" index, compiled based on the analysis of the reports of the 100 largest companies according to RAEX-600 and RBC-500, includes 29 Russian companies, only two of which are in the electric power industry. RusHydro has been top-rated previously: the company ranked first in 2014 and 2016.

The goal of the RUIE project is to create tools for independent assessment of Russian companies in the field of corporate transparency, management quality, and reputation enhancement. The "Responsibility and Openness" index serves as an assessment tool of the disclosure of information on sustainable development and corporate responsibility. The results obtained in the course of index preparation are used to identify best practices and benchmarking as well as improve the quality of public disclosure, corporate responsibility and sustainable development.

RusHydro has consistently demonstrated its leading edge in a number ofareas, and the leading rating agencies, business associations, and public organizations have recognized it. In 2017, RusHydro was among the top three most transparent electricity companies in the "Transparency of corporate reporting" study according to the Russian branch of the international organization "Transparency International." RusHydro was the first electric power company in Russia to receive accreditation from the ACCA, a global association of professionals in finance and accounting.
