The Option Plan provides for the granting of share options to the members of the Management Board and other key employees of the RAO UES Group. Participants are rewarded under the Option Plan for their work in the RAO UES Group over the period of 3 years, starting from June 25, 2004. Option Plan participants can exercise their share option at any time in the period from June 25, 2007 through January 25, 2008. As at June 30, 2007, share options had been exercised by 37 Option Plan participants to purchase an aggregate of 52,050,204 RAO UES Ordinary Shares. In February 2005, the Board of Directors of RAO UES approved a number of changes relating to the list of Option Plan participants and to the number of shares allocated under the Option Plan. Key employees from certain RAO UES Group entities were included in the list of participants. A total of up to 418,657,600 RAO UES Ordinary Shares (or about one percent of the issued RAO UES Ordinary Shares) may be allocated under the Option Plan. 213,671,372 shares are allocated for granting share options to the members of the Management Board, the remainder to the other key employees of RAO UES. RAO UES Ordinary Shares ultimately allocated under the Option Plan are allocated from treasury shares purchased by the RAO UES Group for that purpose on the open market by a special-purpose entity, which is controlled by the RAO UES Group. The treasury shares held for the purpose of the Option Plan will have no voting rights, unless otherwise decided by the Board of Directors of RAO UES. 270 As at December 31, 2006 and 2005, the number of outstanding share options was 381,436,585. In the event that the restructuring of RAO UES is completed prior to the exercise date of the share options, the Plan participants will be entitled to purchase shares in successor entities or other securities, distributed among the RAO UES shareholders. In the case of an Option Plan participant who terminated his employment with the RAO UES Group entity before June 25, 2007, the number of shares that participant may purchase as part of implementation of the Option Plan will be calculated proportionally based on the number of days worked prior to terminating the employment. In case of a breach of certain provisions of the relevant labor agreement and termination of the employment of Option Plan participants at the initiative of the RAO UES Group entity, the Option Plan participants will lose their right to purchase the shares. The exercise price of the share option is USD 0.2934 per share, which is the weighted average price of the RAO UES Ordinary Shares on the RTS over the period from June 25, 2003 through June 24, 2004. For Option Plan participants who joined RAO UES Group entities after June 25, 2004, the exercise price of the share option is the weighted average option price of the RAO UES Ordinary Shares on the RTS for one year preceding the date of the labor agreement entered into by the Option Plan participants and the RAO UES Group entities. In addition to the exercise price, the Option Plan participants who exercise their options must reimburse part of the interest expenses paid on borrowings in connection with the purchase of the shares. One of the vesting terms of the share options is prepayment by the members of the Management Board of RAO UES (in the amount of 10% of the share option agreement) and by other key employees (in the amount of 0.2 percent of the share option agreement). In the event that the right to exercise the share option lapses, the prepayment will be returned to the Option Plan participant in full. In 2004, the RAO UES Group issued to the members of the Management Board of RAO UES non-interest bearing loans, which could be used by individuals to make prepayments under the share option agreements. The loans were issued for a period of five years. As at December 31, 2006, the amount of loans issued to employees amounted to approximately RUB 155 million. As at December 31, 2005, in the course of the Option Plan implementation the RAO UES Group had purchased 418,657,600 treasury shares at the total cost of RUB 3,571 million. No purchases were made up to December 31, 2006. The fair values of services received in return for share options granted to employees are measured by reference to the fair value of share options granted. The estimate of fair value of the services received is measured based on the Black-Scholes model.

USD 0.0690 The measure of volatility used in the option pricing model is the annualized standard deviation of the continuously compounded rates of return on the share over a period of time. Volatility has been determined on the basis of the historical volatility of the share price over the most recent period (one year before the grant date). For share options outstanding as at December 31, 2006, the range of exercise prices is between USD 0.2827 per share and USD 0.2934 per share, and the weighted average remaining contractual life is 390 calendar days. During 2006, the RAO UES Group recognized approximately RUB 100 million as expense related to the fair value of the options, while in 2005, this amount was RUB 271 million. 271 Subsidiaries Other than as described above with respect to the RAO UES Group, each of Subsidiaries do not usually in the ordinary course of its businesses engage in transactions with related parties. However, the Gencos do enter into agreements with the Trade System Administrator, the System Operator and the FSK, which are also subsidiaries of RAO UES. Such agreements are mandatory for any wholesale generating company and as such do not require any special corporate approvals under Russian law. 272 REGULATORY MATTERS APPLICABLE TO THE SUBSIDIARIES General The RAO UES Group’s business is large and complex and, as a result, the Subsidiaries are subject to a significant number of laws and regulations. This section is a summary of certain regulatory matters that are applicable to the Subsidiaries’ operations. Electricity Industry Regulation The Russian electricity sector is currently in the process of restructuring and its regulation was and is subject to constant renewal and amendments. Generally, the applicable laws and regulations deal with four major issues relating to the electricity industry, which are: (i) establishing a legal framework for the electricity industry and market; (ii) electricity wholesale market regulation; (iii) electricity retail market regulation; and (iv) determination of prices in relation to electricity and heat. See ‘‘Industry Overview’’. As of the date of this Information Statement, the main effective laws and regulations relevant to the Subsidiaries and their business are as follows: • The Civil Code of the Russian Federation; • Electricity Industry Law; • Federal Law ‘‘On Specific Features of Functioning of the Electricity Industry during the Transitional Period, and on the Introduction of Amendments of Certain Laws of the Russian Federation and on Abolishing Certain Laws of the Russian Federation in Connection with the Adoption of the Federal Law ‘‘On the Electricity Industry’’ No. 36-FZ dated March 26, 2003, as amended; • Federal Law ‘‘On State Regulation of Tariffs for Electric and Thermal Power in the Russian Federation’’ No. 41-FZ dated April 14, 1995, as amended; • Federal Law ‘‘On Energy Saving’’ No. 28-FZ dated April 3, 1996, as amended; • Federal Law ‘‘On Safety of Hydroelectric Facilities No. 117-FZ dated July 21, 1997; • Resolution No. 526; • Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation ‘‘On Cap Limits of Tariffs for Electric and Heat Power’’ No. 516 dated August 22, 2003; • Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation ‘‘On Rules of the Wholesale Electricity (Capacity) Market for the Transitional Period’’ No. 643 dated October 24, 2003, as amended; • Resolution No. 109; • Resolution No. 529; and • Resolution No. 205. Resolution No. 526 established the principles of restructuring the Russian electricity industry and the goals of such restructuring. According to Resolution No. 526, the result of such restructuring is the conversion of the existing federal wholesale electricity and electricity capacity market into a truly competitive wholesale market and the creation of regional retail electricity and electricity capacity markets. See ‘‘Industry Overview — Electricity Sector Reform’’. The Electricity Industry Law addressed the issues provided by Resolution No. 526 in more details. However, some of its provisions, which address the results of the restructuring of the electricity industry and market will enter into force in future, when the transitional period of the reform will be completed and the electricity market will be fully liberalized. 273 The Electricity Industry Law provides for the competence of the state authorities in the area of electricity industry and market. Electricity generating companies in Russia are subject to regulation and control by a number of Russian governmental authorities. The Russian government is the principal body charged with the regulation of the wholesale electricity market in Russia; its authority, among other things, includes the following: • approval of the wholesale market rules; • approval of rules of non-discriminatory access to the electricity transmission services, system dispatching services and wholesale market administration services; • approval of the rules for entering into and performing public agreements in the wholesale and retail markets; • approval of principles of pricing and rules determining the tariffs for the electricity industry and market; • determination of the order for submitting pricing bids by participants in the wholesale market, their selection and determination of the equilibrium prices of the wholesale market; and • determination and modification of pricing zone borders in the wholesale market. The Russian government or the federal governmental bodies authorized by the Russian government may, inter alia, take decisions on the following: • establishment and maintenance of the system for long-term forecasting of electricity supply and demand within the wholesale and retail markets; • regulation of tariffs, excluding those which are under the competence of the regional authorities, including determination of cap limits for such tariffs; • anti-monopoly regulation and control; • licensing of certain types of activities in the area of electricity industry and market; and • approval of standards of information disclosure. The FST, among other things, approves tariffs and tariff ranges for electricity, electricity transmission services and dispatch management services in the electricity sector and approves rules for determining tariffs for electricity and heat. The Electricity Industry Law sets forth specific anti-monopoly regulations in relation to the wholesale and retail electricity markets. The governmental authorities supervise the activities of the market’s participants in order to, amongst other things, prevent manipulation of prices, agreements between suppliers of the electricity regarding establishment and maintenance of unfair prices and discriminatory or unreasonable refusal in supply or rendering services within the electricity market. The participants of the wholesale and retail markets should submit to such supervising authorities information in accordance with the applicable standards and to provide the officers of such authorities with unlimited access to any other information about their business. In relation to the supplier of electricity which owns generating facilities accounting for 35% or more of the registered power output within one pricing zone, if such supplier violates the anti-monopoly regulations, the Russian government may decide the following: • establishment of state regulation of prices (tariffs) for the period up to six months; and • involuntary separation. Compliance with anti-monopoly law in Russia is monitored by the FAS. The FAS is authorized, among other things, to: • initiate and examine cases regarding the violation of anti-monopoly regulations; • issue statutory prescriptions to business entities in cases specified in the Federal Law ‘‘On Protection of Competition’’ No. 135-FZ dated July 26, 2006 (the ‘‘Competition Law’’) regarding, for instance, (i) the termination of agreements or coordinated acts of business entities limiting competition, (ii) the promotion of competition and (iii) the termination of abuse by a business entity of its dominant position; 274 • prosecute violations of anti-monopoly regulations; and • bring court claims for violations of anti-monopoly regulations, including, inter alia, for invalidation in whole or in part of any agreements that do not abide by anti-monopoly regulations. The Federal Service for Environmental, Technological and Nuclear Supervision, among other things, oversees compliance with certain mandatory industrial safety rules and environmental regulations, including safety procedures relating to installation, deployment and operation of technical devices and machinery used in the electricity and heat generation business and the procedures for maintaining production and technological processes. The Federal Service for Environmental, Technological and Nuclear Supervision also carries out the following responsibilities: (i) issues licenses for certain industrial activities and activities relating to safety and environmental protection, such as licenses for the use of explosive hazardous industrial facilities and for the disposal of dangerous waste; (ii) registers dangerous objects; and (iii) establishes limits for waste disposal. The Federal Service for the Supervision of the Use of Natural Resources oversees compliance with certain matters of environmental regulations and also forms special committees to perform ecological assessments of project papers. The regional authorities of the Russian Federation generally deal with certain aspects of determination of price on the electricity retail market and heat power market, for instance, by determining tariffs for the transmission of electricity within local distribution electric grids and determining tariffs for heat power within the limits determined by the federal authorities. Disclosure of Information in the Wholesale Electricity Market The Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation ‘‘On Approval of Standards for Disclosure of Information by the Participants in the Electricity Wholesale and Retail Market’’ No. 24 dated January 21, 2004 (‘‘Resolution No. 24’’) sets forth special rules for disclosure of information by participants in the wholesale and retail electricity markets and supplements the disclosure rules under the Russian securities laws. Pursuant to Resolution No. 24, participants in the electricity market must disclose the following information: • annual financial (accounting) statements prepared in accordance with RAS and the auditor’s report thereon, when an audit is conducted with respect to such participant in the wholesale electricity market, as prescribed by the Russian legislation; • a ratio of capital efficiency (when the method of economically reasonable return on invested capital is used for calculation of tariffs for such participant in the wholesale electricity market); and • an assets flow report, which assets are taken into account by determining the level of economically reasonable return on invested capital as set forth by the federal authority for regulation of natural monopolies’ activities. In addition to the above information, generating companies must further disclose: • information on electricity tariffs, the state authority’s decision adopting such tariffs and the source of official publication of such decision; and • information on discharges and emissions of pollutants and plans for the following year for reducing such discharges and emissions. The information listed in the items above must be disclosed no later than June 1 of each year, provided that the historic information must be disclosed after the end of the reported year, while the prospective information must be disclosed before the beginning of the reported year. The FAS and its regional divisions exercise control over compliance by wholesale and retail electricity markets participants with the described disclosure rules. Download 4.8 Kb.
