The Gazprom Board of Directors addressed the issues associated with arranging and holding the Company's annual General Shareholders Meeting.
The Board recommended that the Shareholders Meeting approve the proposal to pay out RUB 7.20 per share in annual dividends based on Gazprom's operating results in 2014 (on last year's level). In this way, the dividends will make up 90.2 per cent of Gazprom's (parent company) net profit generated in 2014 under RAS. The Board recommended that the Shareholders Meeting approve the deadline for listing the shareholders entitled to receive dividends – July 16, 2015. The recommended deadline to receive dividends for registered shareholders and their trustees, stock professionals listed in the Register of Shareholders – July 30, 2015; for the rest of registered shareholders – August 20, 2015.
