Rusal's statement in relation to State Duma deputy comments

The company finds it necessary to make the following statement following comments made by the State Duma deputy, Andrei Krutov, aimed at discrediting UC RUSAL.

Andrei Krutov’s recent and frequent comments in relation to UC RUSAL are distorted and incorrect and clearly demonstrate that he does not have any information about the situation at the Company’s facilities. As a result, the Company is examining possible legal action regarding disseminating false information.

RUSAL operates in full compliance with the current tax legislation of the Russian Federation. With regards to employees’ salaries, the average wage at UC RUSAL’s plants in Irkutsk is approximately 40 thousand rubles, which is among the highest salaries in the industry.
