Following an extended worldwide economic boom, fueled in large part by easy credit and

ever-increasing asset prices, a financial bubble – global in scope – burst in the latter part

of 2008. While the swift and coordinated policy response of the Russian government and

Russia’s sizeable reserves have helped to limit the impact of the worldwide financial crisis,

Russia has by no means escaped the carnage and the ensuing worldwide recession.

Prices for Russia’s main exports (energy and other commodities) have collapsed, capital

has flowed out of Russia as investors shunned all manner of perceived risk, and for a time,

money, if available at all, became prohibitively expensive. In the aftermath, a number of

companies and investment holdings have forfeited or are expected to lose assets through

forced sale and bankruptcy. The Russian equity markets (RTS Exchange) in 2008 posted a

72% loss – the worst performance of any major world index. To be sure, Russian markets

were quite efficient in pricing in a doomsday scenario.

Alfa Group also did not manage to side-step this worldwide battering with the value of

our publically traded companies and private holdings declining significantly, and in-line

with the markets in which we invest. Despite this turmoil Alfa Group managed to retain

all of its investments and every one of our companies honored fully all obligations to

their counterparties and partners. In the face of extraordinarily trying circumstances our

companies turned in relatively solid fundamental performance in 2008.

STATEMENT BY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD OF ALFA GROUP CONSORTIUM

“We are not bankers, nor are we oil or telecommunications or retail experts. We are investors. We do not have a business which we have been involved in all of our lives. We are people who are able to assess and anticipate certain market trends, understand which businesses will develop faster and which businesses will stagnate or decline and based on these considerations, we make competent investments. At the same time, we are not “silent” investors – we work hard on the companies we have invested in and we attract professional managers who we can trust. We know that someday we will leave these businesses and make other investments when we consider the price, time and place are right.” Mikhail Fridman

IFRS profit (attributable to Equity Holders of the Parent Companies (i.e.

majority shareholders)) for the year 2008 as reported in Alfa Group Combined Financial

Statements was US $2.19 bln, a 31% increase over the US $1.67 bln IFRS profit reported

in 2007. 2008 profit of US $2.19 bln includes a number of one-off and accounting

gains and losses recorded in 2008 included into this US $2.19 bln figure. The main

one-off items are as follows:

• Change in the basis of accounting for investment in MegaFon as a result of the Group

obtaining significant influence over MegaFon in mid-2008 resulting in a one-off, non-

cash, accounting gain;

• Disposal by Alfa Group of Golden Telecom to VimpelCom resulting in a one-off gain;

• Impairment of goodwill relating to Alfa Group's investment in X5 and impairment in the

Group’s investment in MegaFon, resulting in one-off, non-cash, accounting losses.

Net of all one-off items, 2008 profit would have been a more modest US $1.59 bln.

via GTEL-Mobile Joint Stock Company;

In September 2009, VimpelCom Group signed an agreement for the acquisition of a

In October 2009, Altimo and Telenor ASA announced an agreement to combine their

common assets in VimpelCom Group and Kyivstar GSM to create a leading emerging

markets mobile operator, VimpelCom Ltd., and to suspend, withdraw or settle all ongoing

legal proceedings between one another;

In October 2009, Alfa-Bank Russia received an 11-year, subordinated RUR 29.3 bln loan

from Vnesheconombank;

In October 2009, Altimo refinanced a US $1.5 bln loan with Vnesheconombank;

In November 2009, Altimo and TeliaSonera announced an agreement to combine their

common assets in Turkcell and MegaFon to create a leading emerging markets mobile operator,

and to resolve all ongoing legal disputes between one another and С̧ukurova Group.

While no one knows exactly how the worldwide financial crisis will unfold, and when

investor and consumer confidence will be restored, we are certain that opportunities will

emerge from the market dislocations that are now taking place – specifically in the areas

of market consolidation and attraction of talent. Furthermore, we are adamant that our

companies use the current slowdown in business to focus on improving operational and

financial efficiencies and risk-management. We believe strongly in the future of each

of our companies as they are without exception, well managed, fundamentally sound

businesses which are leaders in their respective fields. While the excesses of the past

continue to be purged from the system and while investors, consumers and the

markets at-large continue to search for a new equilibrium Alfa Group and its

companies will persevere and protect against a deep and protracted downturn and

will capitalize on the very best opportunities which will present themselves.

ALFA GROUP’S INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

We rely on our investment philosophy to generate superior returns for our shareholders

over the long term, to promote sound corporate governance and business practices, and

to benefit our partners, counterparties, employees, the Russian consumer and society at

large.

• We are opportunistic investors.Simply stated, we are value-oriented investors. In evaluating any investment opportunity,

our investment philosophy is driven by the opportunity to purchase assets that, due to

perceived risk, low liquidity, disinterest or a lack of understanding on the part of market

participants, are undervalued.

• We believe the most attractive opportunities are in world emerging markets.Much of our past success has been the result of our comprehensive knowledge and

understanding of emerging markets, in particular, the Russian and CIS markets. We

believe there are still substantial opportunities in the world’s emerging markets and that

we are well placed to take full advantage of them.

• We typically take a longer-term view, in order to realize the full potential of ourinvestments.

We do everything necessary to develop our investments, thus making them more

attractive to a potential buyer. While we do not particularly welcome the inflexibility

of being wed to an investment for the longer term, we lower our risks by seeking

undervalued investments that provide ample down side protection and, when possible,

interim cash flows.

• We view co-operation with foreign investors and the attraction of foreign capitalas important to the development of our companies.

Foreign investors provide not only capital investment, but also the expertise which is

needed to successfully develop and realize the full value of our investments. We know

from experience that the failure to attract longer-term foreign investment will result in

under-developed assets and missed business opportunities. Also, with regard to exit

strategy, sale to foreign investors provides us with a logical and attractive means of exiting

our investments.

• First and foremost we are investors, not business managers.Companies of Consortium are independent entities and are given fairly wide latitude

to conduct their affairs. We do, however, actively advise and take decisions on

important strategic matters that have an impact on the shareholder value of our

companies. We also continually evaluate management and measure the financial

performance of our investments.

• We are guided by the philosophy of investing in only those companies that areleaders in their respective fields of business.

We require those in which we invest to be one of the top three in their business field or

with a clear potential to become one of the top three within a reasonable period. Where we

see that our investments are not meeting this criterion, we take active measures to divest

and free up our financial and management resources for more effective investments.

ALTIMO

Altimo is one of the leading investment companies with interests in Russia, the CIS, Turkey

and South Eastern Asia, operating in the field of mobile and fixed-line communications.

Through substantial stakes in five major telecoms companies, Altimo has a presence

in 11 Eurasian markets. Together, Altimo’s investee companies service more than 160

million mobile phone subscribers.

Altimo’s Strategy

Altimo focuses on three main strategic objectives: managing its existing asset portfolio;

entering new markets; and consolidating assets to create a leading telecom company

on the emerging markets of Eurasia. Altimo works with the senior management of

the companies in which it invests to unlock each company’s full potential and to increase

the value of its assets. Altimo does not plan to exit its investments in the medium-term.

Altimo is a financial investor and normally takes substantial minority positions in

companies which do not have a controlling shareholder. This form of balanced corporate

governance allows the management of the mobile operator to operate independently and

in the interest of all shareholders of the company.

Altimo is attracted by countries with large populations, low mobile penetration rates, a

high GDP growth rate and little competition. These criteria are met in Southern, Central

and South East Asia, where Altimo is actively seeking new investment opportunities.

X5 RETAIL GROUP N.V.

X5 Retail Group N.V. (“Group” or “X5”) is Russia’s largest food retailer in terms of sales. X5

uses a multi-format strategy to simultaneously develop three formats: soft discounters,

supermarkets, and hypermarkets. The Group was created on 18 May 2006 as a result

of a merger between the leading national supermarket chain Perekrestok and one of

the largest Russian soft discounter chains Pyaterochka. In June 2008 the Group acquired

Karusel hypermarket chain and immediately established a leading position in the Russian

hypermarket segment. The Group’s shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange

(LSE) under the ticker “FIVE”.

X5 Retail Group N.V. Today

The Group today is the undisputed leader in the Russian food retail market and the largest

multi-format operator with significant regional presence. As of 31 December 2008,

X5 had 1,101 company managed stores located in Moscow, St.Petersburg and other

regions of European Russia, Urals and Ukraine, including 848 soft discounter stores, 207

supermarkets and 46 hypermarkets. As at 31 December 2008, the Group’s franchisees

operated 607 stores across Russia. In 2008 the Group’s consolidated Net Retail Sales

reached US $8.3 bln – 57% higher than in 2007. X5 total net trading area exceeded

874,032 m2 as at 31 December 2008 and its number of customer visits during 2008 totaled

over 816 million. More than 52,000 people work in the Group.

Strategy and Key Goals

The Group’s key strategic objective is to become the main consolidator of the Russian

food retail market and the absolute leader of Russian retail, able to compete with

leading international chains as an equal. The strategy relies on multi-format growth

and regional expansion from organic growth and M&A transactions, with a particular

focus on the fast-growing soft discounter segment. Investments into the development

of logistics infrastructure and IT-systems upgrade support the Group’s aggressive plans

of development and strengthen its competitive position in the long-term. The Group’s

overriding goal is to provide shareholders with the best return on investment in

the industry.

SPONSORSHIP AND CHARITY

Serving Our Communities

Alfa Group and its companies are known for their multi-year tradition of charitable

activities and for the patronage of Russia’s historical, cultural and spiritual heritage. While

we aim to achieve leadership in all the businesses we operate, we strive not to lose sight

of the importance of giving back to the society and communities in which we do business.

Our policy is not to impose global social programs on our managers but to empower them

to decide what is right for their businesses and the local societies where they operate. So

while the challenges we address are global, such as education, culture, health, and the

environment, the emphasis given to each of these themes differs from region to region.

Through constant efforts to create the conditions for a flourishing society, we are also

laying the foundations for our own long-term success.
