Kirill and Bernard are highly experienced and deeply respected members of
Russia's business community. I look forward to the greater independence and

today's progress to further improve EPH's corporate governance over the coming
months."

exceeds or falls below 3%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 33%, 50% or 66% as a result
of an acquisition or disposal of shares or any other form of financial
