The Supervisory Board approved recommendations on the distribution of profit for the year 2012, submitted earlier by ALROSA’s Executive Committee.

ALROSA’s net profit under the Russian Accounting Standards in 2012 amounted to RUB 39 billion 657.349 million. The Supervisory Board recommends to the annual general meeting of shareholders to approve the allocation of RUB 8 billion 175.111 million for payment of the 2012 year-end dividends, which is equivalent to payment of RUB 1.11 per one ordinary share of RUB 0.5 par value. Pursuant to the Order of the Government of the Russian Federation, the companies whose shares are in federal ownership are to allocate for dividends at least 25% of the net profit under the RAS less the income received from revaluation of financial investments. ALROSA’s profit (without revaluation of financial investments) in 2012 amounted to RUB 25.182 billion. Thus, summarizing the results of 2012 it is planned to allocate some 32.5% of ALROSA’s profit for dividends.

The representatives from Goldman Sachs Bank reported to the Supervisory Board on the procedure of ALROSA’s forthcoming privatization.

The Supervisory Board voted to approve a new member of the Executive Committee, Alexander Matveev, head of ALROSA’s Legal Department.

The matter relating to the reduction of the Executive Committee was considered in pursuance of the Company’s Supervisory Board instruction of November 26, 2012, for the purpose of optimizing the Executive Committee operation and enhancing the level of responsibility for the decisions made.

The Supervisory Board also approved the approach when two directors of the mining and processing divisions can be appointed members of the Executive Committee based on the results of the performance evaluation in the accounting period.
