Important information on the conversion of Russian ADR/GDR into original shares

Thursday, 04. August 2022

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today, 4 August 2022, we are informing you of an opportunity to convert ADR/GDR into original Russian shares through the broker Freedom Finance, in case your bank/broker has problems converting the ADR/GRD into original Russian shares first. Freedom Finance is a broker listed on NASDAQ in New York but also has access to the Moscow Stock Exchange. Freedom Finance (web; www.freedom24.com) also has a branch in Berlin on Kurfürstendamm.

If so, please use the following link,

https://freedom24.com/invite/?utm_source=referral&utm_medium=invite&utm_campaign=pfu2952896,

to register with the broker Freedom Finance and open an account there. The account opening is then done online (best with a smartphone).

You will need a passport or ID card, a recent bill with your address on it (e.g. electricity or water bill) and then you will go through a verification process online via video/photo.

The following Russian ADR/GDR can then be converted into original Russian shares and held in custody:

The broker Freedom Finance does have access directly to the Moscow Stock Exchange. However, after conversion due to the sanctions, they still have no power to buy or sell the original Russian shares on the Moscow Stock Exchange as foreigners. It is only about the conversion and custody of the converted ADR/GDR. It will probably only be possible to trade the original Russian shares after some sanctions have ended. However, you will then also receive the dividends in roubles.

If required, an account can also be opened in Russia on a rouble basis.

Please note: the online registration and conversion must be completed by 6.00 p.m. on 11 August 2022, because Clearstream has given such a tight time frame.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours sincerely

EST Stock market letter

The stock exchanges of Central and Eastern Europe have been among the top performers among the world’s stock exchanges since 1998. In recent years in particular, many CEE stock exchanges have performed far better than the established Western stock exchanges. In 2019, for example, the Moscow Stock Exchange not only clearly outperformed the DAX and DJI, but also ranked among the 30 best-performing stock exchanges in the world.

Many investors have so far criminally neglected the CEE stock exchanges. Yet the selection of promising stocks is growing. Eastern Europe still has its future ahead of it.
