Answer: The absence of a shareholder's correct personal information with the Company, its Registrar, or the Depository (if shares are kept in a securities account) is the main reason why a shareholder does not receive dividends and voting ballots. To update your details, you need to update your Questionnaire of a Registered Person. To do this, you must submit a request at the place where your shares are stored (Registrar or Depository). If your shares are stored in the RusHydro Shareholder Register, you can familiarize yourself with the list of documents required for updating the Questionnaire from the Registrar's website at https://www.vtbreg.com/shareholder/operations/operations-109/.
Please note that you cannot simply submit copies of documents to RusHydro to update your Questionnaire. You must submit such documents to the Registrar or your Depository in person or through your authorized representative.
Answer: The Registrar or the Depository (if your shares are stored in the securities account) probably do not have your correct contact or bank details.
Please see the answer to Question 2 to learn how to update your Questionnaire.
