The applicable exchange rate is the official exchange rate of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan of KZT 372.65 per US$1 as of 12 November 2018. Accordingly, the Offer Price per Share has been set at KZT 4,322.74.

Accordingly, each of the Banks and their respective affiliates, their respective directors, officers or employees, and any other person acting on their behalf expressly disclaims, to the fullest extent possible, any and all liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from, or in reliance upon, the whole or any part of the contents of this announcement, whether in tort, contract or otherwise which they might otherwise have in respect of this announcement or its contents or otherwise arising in connection therewith.
Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited and J.P. Morgan Securities plc are authorised by the UK Prudential Regulation Authority (the "PRA") and regulated by the FCA and the PRA. Each of the Banks is acting exclusively for the Company and no one else in connection with the matters referred to in this announcement, and will not regard any other person as their respective clients in relation to the matters referred to in this announcement and will not be responsible to anyone other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to their respective clients nor for providing advice in relation to the matters referred to in this announcement, the contents of this announcement or any transaction, arrangement or other matter referred to herein.
In connection with the Offering, Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited (the "Stabilising Manager"), or any of its agents, may (but will be under no obligation to), to the extent permitted by applicable law, over-allot GDRs or effect other transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the GDRs at a higher level than that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. The Stabilising Manager is not required to enter into such transactions and such transactions may be effected on any stock market, over-the-counter market, stock exchange or otherwise and may be undertaken at any time during the period commencing on the date of the commencement of conditional dealings of the GDRs on the London Stock Exchange and ending no later than 30 calendar days thereafter. However, there will be no obligation on the Stabilising Manager or any of its agents to effect stabilising transactions and there is no assurance that stabilising transactions will be undertaken. Such stabilising measures, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time without prior notice. In no event will measures be taken to stabilise the market price of the GDRs above the Offer Price. Save as required by law or regulation, neither the Stabilising Manager nor any of its agents intends to disclose the extent of any over- allotments made and/or stabilisation transactions conducted in relation to the Offering.
In connection with the Offering, the Stabilising Manager may, for stabilisation purposes, over-allot GDRs up to a maximum of 15 per cent. of the total number of GDRs comprised in the Offering (excluding the portion sold in the AIX Offering). For the purposes of allowing it to cover short positions resulting from any such over-allotments and/or from sales of GDRs effected by it during the stabilising period, it is expected that Samruk-Kazyna will grant to the Stabilising Manager on behalf of the Banks, an option, pursuant to which the Stabilising Manager may purchase, or procure purchasers for, additional GDRs up to a maximum of 15 per cent. of the total number of GDRs comprised in the Offering (excluding the portion sold in the AIX Offering) (the "Over-allotment GDRs") at the Offer Price. The over-allotment arrangements may be exercised in whole or in part upon notice by the Stabilising Manager at any time on or before the 30th calendar day after the commencement of conditional dealings in the GDRs on the London Stock Exchange. Any Over-allotment GDRs made available pursuant to the over-allotment arrangements will rank pari passu in all respects with the GDRs, including for all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on the GDRs, will be purchased on the same terms and conditions as the GDRs being issued or sold in the Offering and will form a single class for all purposes with the other GDRs.
Certain statements in this announcement are not historical facts and are "forward looking" within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

By their very nature, forward looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward looking statements will not be achieved. Given these risks and uncertainties, be cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward looking statements. We do not intend and we do not assume any obligation to update any forward looking statement contained herein.
In addition, this announcement contains information concerning the Group's industry and its market and business segments generally, which is forward-looking in nature and is based on a variety of assumptions regarding the ways in which the industry, and the Group's market and business segments, will develop. These assumptions are based on information currently available to the Company. If any one or more of these assumptions turn out to be incorrect, actual market results may differ from those predicted. While the Company does not know what effect any such differences may have on the Group's business, if there are such differences, they could have a material adverse effect on the Group's future results of operations and financial condition.
Any subscription or purchase of Securities in the Offering should be made solely on the basis of information contained in the Price Range Prospectus published by the Company in connection with the Offering.
The information in this announcement is subject to change.

No reliance may be placed for any purpose on the information contained in this announcement or its accuracy or completeness. Neither this announcement, nor anything contained in the Price Range Prospectus referred to herein, shall form the basis of or constitute any offer or invitation to sell or issue, or any solicitation of any offer to purchase or subscribe for any Securities or any other securities nor shall it (or any part of it) or the fact of its distribution, form the basis of, or be relied on in connection with, any contract therefor.
Financial decisions should not be based on this announcement. Acquiring investments to which this announcement relates may expose an investor to a significant risk of losing all of the amount invested.
