                O`KEY GROUP INTENDS TO DELIST ITS GDRs FROM LSE

    

   O`KEY Group S.A. (AIX, LSE, MOEX: OKEY, the “Group” or the “Company”), one
   of Russia’s leading food retailers, announces its intention to delist  its
   global depositary receipts  (GDRs) from the  London Stock Exchange  (LSE).
   The decision was taken by the Company’s Board of Directors on 15 May 2024.

    

   All materials published by the Group are available at  1 www.okeygroup.lu.

    

   O’KEY GROUP S.A. GDRs have  been listed on the  Main Market of the  London
   Stock Exchange  since  2010.  Since  4 March  2022,  the  trading  of  the
   Company’s GDRs has  been suspended on  LSE. In that  respect, the  Company
   requests that the UK Financial Services Authority (FCA) cancel the listing
   of the Company’s GDRs  issued under Regulation  S (ISIN US6708662019)  and
   Rule 144A (ISIN US6708661029),  and that LSE cancel  the admission of  the
   GDRs to trading on the Main Market.

   In accordance with Listing Rule  5.2.8, 17 June 2024  is the last day  the
   Company’s GDRs are listed on the London Stock Exchange. Therefore, the LSE
   Listing Cancellation becomes effective as of 8:00 a.m. (London time) on 18
   June 2024.

   The Company’s GDRs  have been also  listed on the  Moscow Exchange  (MOEX)
   since December  2020, and  on Astana  International Exchange  (AIX)  since
   March 2023. The Group plans to maintain its listing both on MOEX and  AIX.
   The GDR programme remains in force and continues to operate.
