Cash-out of U.S. Minority DR Holders . Any RAO UES DR holders who hold RAO DRs on the Spin-Offs Record Date and who fail or are unable to provide a certification to the effect that they are Non-U.S. DR Holders within 30 days following the Spin-Offs Record Date will not receive any Holdco Shares, Holdco GDRs, Subsidiary Shares or Subsidiary GDRs, and the Relevant Depositary will, as soon as reasonably practicable, sell the relevant Holdco Shares and Subsidiary Shares that would have been distributed to such holder in a public or private sale and deliver the cash proceeds pro rata to such holders, net of fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Relevant Depositary in effecting such distribution, including, but not limited to, any costs of conversion, taxes or governmental 38 charges with respect to such distribution. It is anticipated that such sale of the relevant shares by the Depositaries will be completed as soon as reasonably practicable after such Holdco Shares and Subsidiary Shares are distributed to the Depositaries and after the expiration of the 30 day-period following the Spin-Offs Record Date. Neither Depositary shall be responsible for (i) any failure to determine that it may be lawful or practicable to make the net proceeds of the sale of shares available to RAO UES DR holders in general or any RAO UES DR holder in particular, (ii) any foreign exchange exposure or loss incurred in connection with the sale of those shares, or (iii) its inability to distribute the net proceeds, or the amount that will be distributed as such net proceeds. See ‘‘Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the relevant Holdco Shares, Subsidiary Shares, New GDRs and Trading Market — The Depositaries may not be able to sell the Holdco Shares and Subsidiary Shares that would have been distributed to RAO UES DR holders that fail to certify that they are Non-U.S. DR Holders or that fail to provide a Russian securities account in the event that no Regulation S GDR Facility is established, or may only be able to sell such shares at a discount to the prevailing market price and may not be able to distribute the net proceeds to the respective RAO UES DR holders’’. Listing and Trading of certain Subsidiary Shares . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Shares in the majority of the Gencos are currently quoted on one or both of the Russian stock exchanges, the RTS and MICEX, as follows: Subsidiary Exchange(s) RTS Ticker MICEX Ticker OGK-1 RTS & MICEX OGKA OGK1 OGK-2 RTS & MICEX OGKB OGKB OGK-3 RTS & MICEX OGKC OGKC OGK-4 RTS & MICEX OGKD OGK4 OGK-6 RTS & MICEX OGKF OGKF HydroOGK None n/a n/a TGK-1 RTS & MICEX TGKA TGKA TGK-2 RTS & MICEX TGKB TGKB Mosenergo RTS & MICEX TGKC MSNG TGK-4 RTS & MICEX TGKD TGKD TGK-6 RTS & MICEX TGKF TGKF Volzhskaya TGK RTS & MICEX TGKG VTGK SGK TGK-8 RTS & MICEX TGKH TGKH TGK-9 RTS & MICEX TGKI TGKI TGK-10 RTS & MICEX TGKJ TGKJ TGK-11 None n/a n/a Kuzbassenergo RTS & MICEX KZBE KZBE Eniseyskaya TGK RTS & MICEX TGKM TGKM TGK-14 RTS & MICEX TGKN TGKN 39 The Regulation S GDR Facilities . . . . . . It is currently expected that certain of the Subsidiaries (except for the Far East Energos, the MRSKs, InterRAO and the System Operator) whose shares are not currently listed on a Russian stock exchange will apply for listing before the Reorganization Date and each Subsidiary that has or obtains such a listing will apply to the FSFM for approval to establish a Regulation S GDR Facility. It is also currently expected that each of the Shareholder Holdcos that will continue to exist (MRSK Holding and RAO East Energy Systems), as soon as practicable after the Reorganization Date, will apply for a listing on the RTS or MICEX and, after obtaining such a listing, will apply to the FSFM for approval to establish a Regulation S GDR Facility. See ‘‘The Regulation S GDR Facilities’’. For each Regulation S GDR Facility that is established with respect to a particular Subsidiary or Holdco, as applicable, one GDR will represent the right to receive a certain number of the relevant Subsidiary Shares or Holdco Shares, as the case may be, and will be distributed in the manner and on the terms described in this Information Statement to Non-U.S. DR Holders who held RAO UES DRs on the Spin-Offs Record Date and who provided the applicable certifications upon the payment of the fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the New GDR Depositary, including, but not limited to, any taxes or governmental charges. The New GDRs are currently anticipated to be tradable over-the- counter in Western Europe. See ‘‘The Regulation S GDR Facilities’’. Transfers of New GDRs to U.S. persons in the Regulation S GDR Facility of any Subsidiary or any Shareholder Holdco, if any, will be restricted for 40 days following the date of issuance of Regulation S GDRs, if any, in the Regulation S GDR Facility. There is no assurance that the Regulation S GDR Facilities will be established or that a public market for New GDRs will develop. See ‘‘Risk Factors— There may only be a limited trading market for the relevant Holdco Shares, the Subsidiary Shares and, if the Regulation S GDR Facilities are created, the New GDRs’’. In the case of the Far East Energos, the MRSKs, InterRAO, the System Operator and the Large Holdcos, if applicable, which do not currently plan to set up a Regulation S GDR Facility, or if any Subsidiary or Holdco, as applicable, fails to set up a Regulation S GDR Facility within 90 calendar days after the Reorganization Date, each Non-U.S. DR Holder of record on the Spin-Offs Record Date may provide instructions regarding its Russian securities account (and a certification that such holder owned the RAO UES DRs on the Spin-Offs Record Date) to the Relevant Depositary by the date advised by the Relevant Depositary in the case of the shares in the Far East Energos, the MRSKs, InterRAO, the System Operator and Large Holdcos, if applicable, which do not currently plan to set up a Regulation S GDR Facility, or in 40 respect of shares in RAO East Energy Systems, MRSK Holding and certain Subsidiary Shares within 30 days of the end of such 90 calendar day period to credit such Non-U.S. DR Holder’s Russian securities account with the relevant Subsidiary Shares or Holdco Shares. Non-U.S. DR Holders who provide such documentation will be entitled to receive, as soon as reasonably practicable, the relevant Subsidiary Shares or Holdco Shares corresponding to the number of New GDRs they would have received had a Regulation S GDR Facility been set up, upon the payment of the fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Relevant Depositary, including but not limited to, any taxes and governmental charges. If no such documentation is provided to the Relevant Depositary, then such holders will (a) become entitled to receive, as soon as reasonably practicable, the net cash proceeds on a pro rata basis from the sale of the relevant Subsidiary Shares or Holdco Shares they would have received had they supplied a Russian securities account and certifications to the Relevant Depositary, upon the payment of the fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Relevant Depositary in effecting such distribution, including, but not limited to, any costs of conversion, taxes or governmental charges with respect to such distribution, and (b) continue to own the same number of RAO UES DRs after the Spin-Offs as before, unless the RAO UES Merger is completed by that date, in which case they will be entitled to additional shares in the FSK as a result of the conversion of each RAO UES Ordinary Share into 2.26600952123458 ordinary shares of the FSK and each RAO UES Preferred Share into 2.07521151954661 ordinary shares of the FSK. See ‘‘Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the relevant Holdco Shares, Subsidiary Shares, New GDRs and Trading Market — The Subsidiaries and Holdcos may not obtain approval from the FSFM for the placement of the Subsidiary Shares and Holdco Shares, as the case may be, outside the Russian Federation, and the Regulation S GDR Facilities may not be established’’. Dissenting and Non-Voting Shareholders’ and DR Holders’ Redemption Rights . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Under Russian law, holders of RAO UES Shares that are entitled to vote at the EGM, and, subject to compliance with applicable law, holders of RAO UES DRs that are entitled to deliver voting instructions to their respective Depositaries, and in each case that either vote against the Spin-Offs or do not vote on the Spin-Offs proposals, may elect to have RAO UES redeem their RAO UES Shares (including those represented by RAO UES DRs) within the Redemption Election Period if the Spin-Offs are approved. Holders of RAO UES Shares who wish to exercise their redemption rights (including the Depositaries on behalf of RAO UES DR holders) must surrender their RAO UES Shares to RAO UES during the Redemption Election Period. As soon 41 as reasonably practicable following the EGM Date, subject to compliance with applicable law, holders of RAO UES DRs who either vote against the Spin-Offs or do not vote on the Spin-Offs proposals will be provided with materials from the relevant Redemption Agent (as defined below) detailing the procedures to be followed if such holders wish to exercise their redemption rights. RAO UES ADR holders who elect to exercise their redemption rights, and who may do so under applicable law, will be required to surrender their RAO UES ADRs to the Redemption Agent to be appointed with respect to the RAO UES ADRs (the ‘‘RAO UES ADR Redemption Agent’’) on or prior to November 30, 2007. RAO UES GDR holders who elect to exercise their redemption rights will be required to surrender their RAO UES GDRs to The Bank of New York as redemption agent (the ‘‘RAO UES GDR Redemption Agent’’ and together with the RAO UES ADR redemption agent, the ‘‘Redemption Agents’’ and each of them, a ‘‘Redemption Agent’’) on or prior to November 30, 2007. Within the 30 calendar day period following the end of the Redemption Election Period, RAO UES is required to redeem any RAO UES Shares surrendered by holders of RAO UES Shares (including by Depositaries on behalf of the holders of RAO UES DRs) at a price of RUB 32.15 per RAO UES Ordinary Share and RUB 29.44 per RAO UES Preferred Share. In accordance with the requirements of Russian law, the price for the RAO UES Shares to be redeemed has been determined by the Board of Directors of RAO UES, based on the market price (without taking into account the effect, if any, on the market price of RAO UES’ actions resulting in the redemption rights), as determined by ZAO Deloitte & Touche CIS, an independent appraiser. RAO UES may use no more than 10% of its net assets, determined as of the EGM Date, to redeem such RAO UES Shares. For purposes of illustration, based on the net assets of RAO UES as at June 30, 2007, such amount equaled approximately RUB 109 billion, meaning that, if the EGM had been held on June 30, 2007, RAO UES would have been entitled to redeem approximately 8% of the RAO UES Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. In the event that holders (including the Depositaries) surrender more RAO UES Shares than RAO UES is permitted to redeem, surrendered RAO UES Shares will be redeemed on a pro rata basis. In accordance with Russian corporate law, all redeemed RAO UES Shares will be held by RAO UES as treasury shares, which are required to be sold by RAO UES within one year after their purchase. Otherwise, upon the expiration of this term, RAO UES will be required to cancel these redeemed RAO UES Shares and, consequently, reduce its share capital by the aggregate par value of such cancelled shares. 42 In the case of RAO UES Shares, RAO UES will pay in rubles the price per RAO UES Share established by the Board of Directors to the Relevant Depositary. The Relevant Depositary will pay those proceeds to the corresponding Redemption Agent, which will effect, at the then-prevailing market rate, the conversion of the ruble proceeds into U.S. dollars, and will then, as soon as reasonably practicable, distribute the funds through DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, as applicable, to the redeeming holders of the RAO UES DRs, net of fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Relevant Depositary and Redemption Agent in connection with the surrender of the RAO UES DRs and the RAO UES Shares represented by RAO UES DRs, including, but not limited to, any costs of conversion, taxes or governmental charges with respect to such distribution. As a condition to receipt of the redemption price, the redeeming RAO UES DR Holders must surrender their RAO UES DRs by delivering the appropriate transfer forms and certificates to RAO UES (or the Redemption Agent and Relevant Depositary, as applicable). After the RAO UES Shares are surrendered to RAO UES and until they are redeemed they cannot be disposed of or encumbered in any way unless the shareholder revokes its redemption request within the Redemption Election Period. HOLDERS OF RAO UES SHARES AND RAO UES DRs MAY BE SUBJECT TO TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING FROM A REDEMPTION OF SHARES, INCLUDING RUSSIAN WITHHOLDING TAX ON ANY CAPITAL GAIN REALIZED. HOLDERS OF RAO UES SHARES AND RAO UES DRs SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REDEMPTION ARISING UNDER FOREIGN, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS. SEE ‘‘CERTAIN TAX CONSEQUENCES’’. See ‘‘The Spin-Offs — Dissenting and non-voting shareholders’ and DR holders’ redemption rights’’, ‘‘Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the relevant Holdco Shares, Subsidiary Shares, New GDRs and Trading Market — The Subsidiaries and Holdcos may not obtain approval from the FSFM for the placement of the Subsidiary Shares and Holdco Shares, as the case may be, outside the Russian Federation, and the Regulation S GDR Facilities may not be established’’ and ‘‘Risks Relating to the relevant Holdco Shares, Subsidiary Shares, New GDRs and Trading Market — Investors in the Holdcos and Subsidiaries may be unable to or be delayed in repatriating their earnings from distributions made on the Subsidiary Shares and, if the Regulation S GDR Facilities are created, the New GDRs’’. 43 Dissenting and Non-Voting Shareholders’ Alternative Share Allocation Rights . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Each of the Dissenting Holders will, on the Reorganization Date, subject to applicable law and, in the case of holders of RAO UES DRs, providing the required certifications to the Relevant Depositary: • be entitled to a number of ordinary and preferred shares in the Large Holdcos, with the number of ordinary and preferred Large Holdco Shares to which the Large Holders are entitled being adjusted

held by such holder on the Spin-Offs Record Date, with the number of ordinary and preferred Holdco Shares to which the other RAO UES shareholders are entitled being adjusted accordingly; • upon the cancellation of the ordinary and preferred shares in the State Holdcos, the Minority Holdcos and InterRAO Holding, receive or, in the case of the Minority Holders of RAO UES DRs, be entitled to, a
