JSC RusHydro announces results on accepting bids for Company shares placed through 
open subscription  
 
Investors submitted more than 150 bids with a total value exceeding 13 billion rubles. JSC 
RusHydro adopted a decision to satisfy bids for the acquisition of 7.5 billion shares.  
On August 10
th
, 2009, JSC RusHydro (the “Company”) closed the application process for 
accepting bids to acquire additional shares in the Company through open subscription. During 
the period in which bids were accepted, the Company received more than 150 offers with a total 
value in excess of 13 billion rubles. Through the open subscription process, legal and physical 
entities – both existing RusHydro shareholders and those who did not currently hold the 
Company’s shares – were eligible to submit offers.   
RusHydro’s additional share issue, placed via open subscription, was registered by the Russian 
FSFM (Federal Service for Financial Markets) on May 14
th
, 2009, on the basis of both an 
October 7
th
, 2008 resolution by the Company’s Board of Directors and an Extraordinary General 
Meeting (EGM) of shareholders as of November 17
th
, 2008. The additional 16 billion ruble share 
emission was designed to contribute state budget funds into the Company’s charter capital to 
finance RusHydro’s investment program. The price for the additional share issue was determined 
by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 11
th
, 2009 and was set at 1 (one) ruble per share.  
According to Russian Federal law “On joint-stock companies”, the price for a share issue cannot 
be set at a price lower than the nominal value per share (1 ruble). As of July 10
th
, 2009, the price 
for RusHydro’s shares on the MICEX Stock Exchange stood at approximately 1.10 rubles. 
On July 2
nd
, 2009, the application period for acquiring shares based on preemptive rights was 
closed. On July 7
th
, 2009, were totaled the results of implementation of preemptive rights by 
shareholders. An additional 7,200.4 million shares were placed via preemptive rights, of which 
4.923 billion shares were placed in favor of the Russian Federation. 
In July 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors made a decision on the size of the additional 
share emission. Based on the decision to maintain the Russian Federation’s share of RusHydro’s 
charter capital at level not less than that formed as a result of the re-organization of “RAO UES 
of Russia” (60.37%), the Board decided to place an additional approximately 7.5 billion shares 
through open placement.  
Based on the applications received, demand for shares during the open placement subscription 
process exceeded supply by more than 1.5 times, indicating significant interest in RusHydro’s 
shares.  
Given instability in financial markets, significant medium-term volatility in “RusHydro” share 
prices and the fact that the current price for the Company’s shares exceeds the placement price (1 
ruble), RusHydro adopted the following decision to satisfy investor demand:  
- approximately 3.5 billion additional shares were distributed to large investment banks and other 
funds, as well as to physical persons.  
When distributing shares between large institutional investors, RusHydro took into account such 
criteria as: the volume of filed bids, the order in which the bids were filed and certain investors 
motivation to be long-term investors in the Russian power sector.  
In particular, during the process, particular preference was given to investors who had previously 
held shares in the OJSC-HPPs that were consolidated into “RusHydro” during the 
comprehensive energy sector reform, and who had subsequently invested in the Company. 
Attention was also paid to maintaining (and in certain cases, increasing) the portfolios of 
investors` shares after concluding of forming the RusHydro target model in 2008, including the 
period when the market price of RusHydro shares depreciated significantly. 
The above-mentioned criteria were evaluated on an aggregate basis, but primary weight was 
placed on the last factor since, in the Company’s estimation, long-term investors drive increases 
in RusHydro’s market capitalization, decrease the speculative component in the Company’s 
share price performance and contribute to an increase in the level of corporate governance.  
Among physical persons applying for shares, a consider number of applications came from the 
Company’s current and retired employees, as well as from former workers at the OHSC-HPPs. 

 
62
Placing additional shares will allow the Company to attract additional resources to finance its 
investment program under the current conditions of financial market instability: 
- approximately 4 billion additional shares were distributed in favor of a 100%-owned subsidiary 
of RusHydro (OJSC “Hydroinvest”).  As a result of this, the Company will be able to capitalize 
on future increases in the value of the Russian stock market, placing its shares at a higher price, 
and thus, obtaining additional income in favor of its shareholders. 
Within 7 days of notification that its bid has been accepted, investors must pay for the securities. 
Then, within 8 days of RusHydro receiving funds in its account, Company shares will be 
assigned to the designated account of the shareholder. 
“RusHydro’s” additional share issue, under open subscription, was registered by the Russian 
FSFM as of May 14th, 2009 in the amount of 16 billion additional shares at a price of 1 ruble per 
share. The additional share issue was executed to contribute budgetary funds to the Company’s 
charter capital, in order to finance its investment program. 
  
During an earlier additional share issue in 2008, “RusHydro” placed over 1 billion shares 
through open subscription at a placement price of 1 ruble per share. Due to unfavorable market 
conditions, minority shareholders failed to use the full volume of their preemptive rights. As a 
result, the Russian Federation acquired these non-placed shares in February 2009, at the expense 
of a portion of 2009 budgetary funds.  
Subsequently, the Russian federal budget was sequestrated by 30%.  Taking this into account, as 
well as the need for budgetary funds to finance the Kankunskaya HPP project, the balance of 
state funds planned for investment in “RusHydro’s” charter capital stood at 4.923 billion rubles.  
On October 7
th
, 2008, RusHydro’s Board of Directors approved recommendations to the EGM 
on approving parameters for the 2009 additional share issue.  
On November 17
th
, 2008, the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of shareholders adopted a 
decision to increase the Company’s charter capital by placing an additional 16,000,000,000 
common shares with a nominal value of 1 ruble per share through open subscription with cash 
payment for allocated shares.

as a hydro-shock) -- the cause of which is still under investigation -- the second turbine at the 
HPP was destroyed, the seventh and ninth turbines suffered extensive damage, and a portion of 
the turbine room was damaged as well.

currently at a level of 2200 - 2400 cubic meters, which is being fully discharged "idly" through 
water spills.  
No damage to the dam itself or its hydro-technical facilities have been identified, and 
Switchgear-220 and Switchgear-500 have not been affected. There is no danger to Russian 
residents living downstream from the dam. The Siberian Office of the Inter-regional Dispatching 
Service is working to ensure uninterrupted power supply to Siberian consumers by switching up 
reserves.

Currently, active efforts are underway to restore the needs of the HPP. Once the turbine room 
has been dried, there will be a more extensive examination of damages as well as an 
investigation into the causes of the accident. The Chairman of the Khakassia Government V. 
Zimin and RusHydro's Acting CEO V. Zubakin are currently at the site of the accident.
