The information herein relies on the data available to MMC Norilsk Nickel as at the date of this Annual Report.

After this annual report was prepared, the Company’s operations, its operating and financial results, and the report content may have been affected by external or other factors, including the escalation of the geopolitical conflict in Ukraine, sanctions imposed by the United States of America, the European Union, the United Kingdom and other nations against the Russian Federation, Russian individuals and legal entities, Russian Federation’s response to sanctions, economic and other measures introduced to maintain the economic and financial stability of the Russian Federation, the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors beyond the Company’s control. In particular, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and other nations have imposed export controls against the Russian Federation that restrict, among other things, supply of industrial equipment to the Russian Federation.
