HMS Group (LSE: HMSG) announces the results of the Company's Board of Directors meeting held through a videoconference

The Directors considered and adopted the following resolutions:

  2020 in the amount of Rub 4.25 per one ordinary share, amount to a total dividend (the "Dividends") of Rub 
  497,944,564.75. 
  The Dividends are subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 
  June 24, 2021. 
  Subject to such approval, the Dividends may be paid on July 1, 2021 to shareholders on the Company's register at 
  close of business (UK time) on June 18, 2021 (the "Record Date"). 
 - Subject to approval by the Company's shareholders at the AGM, to extend the buyback program (the "Buyback") in 
  respect of the Company's Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs"), each representing five ordinary shares of the 
  Company, for execution during the period of one year commencing on the date of the Company's shareholders' approval 
  (if obtained) at the AGM. 
  The total amount of GDRs subject to the Buyback (taking into account any GDRs already owned by the Company) shall

  The GDRs will be purchased by the Company with the assistance of Renaissance Capital or any other independent 
  broker as may be further determined by the Board of Directors.

approval by the Moscow Exchange.
