Russian Court Cases - Update
Further to the Board's previous RNS announcements regarding the lawsuits filed by VTB Bank in Russia claiming $439.5m, $81.3 million, $74.5 million and €108 million and the lawsuit filed by Sberbank in Russia claiming $830,183 against eight J.P. Morgan legal entities and the Company, the Board announces the following updates from JPMorgan Funds Limited (the Company's Manager) (in italics):
VTB Bank claims ($81.3 million, $74.5 million and €108 million): | Claims withdrawn.
Further to the announcement on 16th February 2026, on 3rd June 2026 and 8th June 2026 respectively, the Russian Court accepted VTB Bank's motion to withdraw the claims in response to the Anti-Suit Injunction granted in the English Court and cancelled the associated freezing orders over JPM's assets.

VTB Bank claim ($439.5 million): | Appeal filed to a higher court, the Court of Cassation in Russia, is currently suspended.
The Court of Cassation has indicated that it does not intend to schedule a further hearing until the appeals filed by the relevant J.P. Morgan legal entities to the Supreme Court in a separate claim unrelated to the Company have been considered.
|
Sberbank claim ($830,183): | Hearing date now 13th July 2026.
