APPOINTMENT OF ADVISOR

The Board of Aurora Russia Limited ("Aurora Russia" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Nicholas Henderson-Stewart  as Advisor to the Company.

Nicholas Henderson-Stewart is an Anglo-Belgian national and has spent the last 13 years working as a private equity professional in Russia and CIS countries. Nicholas has invested in a number of businesses in Russia including Detroit Investments Limited - a private equity company focused on the Russia/CIS drinks sector, Sontsa Detergents - a private detergents producer in Belarus and Russia and Raketa - Russia's only authentic watches and fashion brand.

Under the terms of the Agreement, which is subject to English Law and which may be terminated by either party on six months' notice any time after effective commencement, the Advisor will assist the Board in managing, monitoring and realising the Company's residual investments. This will include representing the Company on Investee company boards if so requested by Aurora Russia Board, assistance with certain administrative functions and the provision of financial information, including management accounts, and other relevant information on the Investee companies.
