LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Fix Price Group Ltd
(incorporated in the British Virgin Islands under the BVI Business Companies Act 2004 with registered number 1483801)
Directors: Registered Office: Dmitry Nikolaevich Kirsanov Alexander Anatolievich Tynkovan Commerce House Gregor William Mowat Wickhams Cay I Elena Titova Road Town Alexey Makhnev Tortola VG1110 Sergei Aleksandrovich Lomakin British Virgin Islands Artem Karenovich Khachatryan
To the Shareholders of the Company
28 February 2022
Dear Shareholder, 1. Background 1.1 On 25 February 2022, the board of directors (the "Board") of Fix Price Group Ltd (the "Company") approved a change in the Company's jurisdiction of incorporation from the British Virgin Islands to the Republic of Cyprus as a public limited liability company (the "Continuation"). The Continuation will be implemented by way of a discontinuance under Section 184 of the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, as amended (the "BVI Companies Act"), and a continuation under sections 354B-354I of The Companies Law of The Republic of Cyprus (the "Cyprus Companies Law"). 1.2 Upon the Continuation, all issued and outstanding ordinary shares in the Company will convert into an equal number of ordinary shares of the Company under the Cyprus Companies Law. 1.3 It is a requirement of the laws of the Republic of Cyprus that each share in the Company has a par value. However, the ordinary shares in the Company currently have no par value. Accordingly, it is proposed that the memorandum and articles of association of the Company be amended such that immediately before a continuation of the Company into the Republic of Cyprus, each ordinary share of the Company shall automatically convert into an ordinary share of EUR 0.001 par value. 1.4 Global depositary receipts ("GDRs") representing ordinary shares of the Company are currently (i) listed on the standard listing segment of the Financial Conduct Authority's (the "FCA") official list and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange plc's ("LSE") market for listed securities; and (ii) admitted to trading on Public Joint-Stock Company "Moscow Exchange MICEX-RTS" ("MOEX") (together the "Listings"). The consent of MOEX has been obtained in relation to the Continuation and the LSE and the FCA have confirmed that no consent is required in this regard. The Continuation will not affect the Listings. 1.5 Each GDR represents an interest in one ordinary share of the Company. Following the Continuation each GDR will represent one ordinary share of the Company under the Cyprus Companies Law. 1.6 The Continuation will not affect the number of shares or GDRs you hold in the Company. 1.7 To effect the Continuation, the Company intends to file a notice of continuation out of the British Virgin Islands with the British Virgin Islands Registrar of Corporate Affairs and file an application for continuation as a public limited liability company to the Republic of Cyprus with the Registrar of Companies of Cyprus, pursuant to which the Company will be redomiciled and continue as a company under the laws of the Republic of Cyprus. In connection with the Continuation, the Company will adopt new memorandum and articles of association under the laws of the Republic of Cyprus (the "Cyprus Articles") to be effective upon the Continuation. 1.8 The shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") are being asked to approve the Continuation and the Cyprus Articles which will, among other things, govern the rights of Shareholders upon the Continuation. While it is intended that the Cyprus Articles will substantially replicate the provisions of the memorandum and articles of association of the Company (the "BVI Articles"), there are certain differences between the terms of the BVI Articles and British Virgin Islands law, on the one hand, and the Cyprus Articles and Cypriot law, on the other hand. 1.9 A summary of the key differences is set-out in Part 2 of this Circular. A copy of the proposed form the Cyprus Articles are also enclosed. 2. Extraordinary General Meeting 2.1 A notice convening the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders of the Company at Commerce House, Wickhams Cay 1, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands at 09:00am BVI Time on 30 March 2022 is set out at the end of this Circular. The Extraordinary General Meeting is being convened for the purposes of considering and, if thought fit, approving the Continuation and the Cyprus Articles. The full text of the resolutions to be passed (the "Resolutions") is set out in the notice at the end of this Circular. 2.2 Although neither BVI law nor the BVI Articles provide for the concept of a "special resolution", it is a requirement of Cyprus law that the Resolutions be passed by a majority of not less than 75% of the members entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. 3. Covid-19 pandemic 3.1 Given the ongoing Covid-19 global pandemic, the Board has determined pursuant to article 12.13 of the BVI Articles that it is prudent for the health and safety of the participants that physical attendance at the extraordinary general meeting not be permitted. The Board strongly encourages Shareholders to vote on the Resolutions by submitting a proxy in accordance with the instructions below. 3.2 If a Shareholder wishes to attend the Meeting by electronic means (namely Teams video conference), please complete and submit the registration form set out at Appendix A of this document in accordance with the instructions set out therein. Upon registration, instructions for how to join the Teams video conference will be emailed to you. 4. Action to be taken 4.1 Shareholders who hold their Shares in certificated form will find enclosed with this circular a form of proxy for use at the Meeting or at any adjournment thereof (the "Form of Proxy"). The Form of Proxy should be completed in accordance with the instructions printed on it and returned by courier or by hand as soon as possible, to the Company's registered office at Commerce House, Wickhams Cay 1, P.O. Box 3140, Road Town, Tortola, VG1110, British Virgin Islands or by email to FPGLShareholderMeeting@conyers.com. Forms of Proxy, duly completed by Shareholders holding Shares in certificated form, must reach the Company's registered office no later than 9:00am BVI Time on 28 March 2022 or, if the Meeting is adjourned, 48 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned Meeting (as the case may be). 4.2 Holders ("Depositary Interest Holders") of depositary interests in the Shares ("Depositary Interests") may vote as follows, in each case by no later than 12:00pm EST on 22 March 2022 or, if the Meeting is adjourned, 72 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned Meeting (as the case may be): (a) in the case of Rule 144A Depositary Interest Holders, by completing and signing a form of instruction in the form enclosed with this circular (the "Form of Instruction") in accordance with the instructions printed on it and instructing their brokers to submit it to Mediant Communications Inc. by email to voteadr@mediantonline.com; and (b) in the case of Regulation S Depositary Interest Holders, by following the procedures described in the CREST manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members (and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s)) should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting services provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf. Should a Depositary Interest Holder have any questions regarding the applicable voting procedures they should contact the Depositary at olena.smirnova@bnymellon.com and adrproxy@bnymellon.com. 4.3 Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting via electronic means (namely Teams video conference), should complete the registration form at Appendix A of this document and submit it in accordance with the instruction set out therein. Upon registration, details for how to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting via electronic means will be provided. 4.4 As noted above, the Board has determined pursuant to article 12.13 of the BVI Articles that it is prudent for the health and safety of the participants that physical attendance at the extraordinary general meeting not be permitted. 4.5 If you are in any doubt as to the action you should take, you should immediately seek your own financial advice from an independent financial adviser authorised pursuant to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 if you are resident in the United Kingdom or, if not, from another appropriate authorised financial adviser. 5. Recommendation The Board considers the passing of the Resolutions to be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board recommends unanimously that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions, as they intend to do in respect of their own shareholdings. Yours sincerely,
/s/ Sergey Aleksandrovich Lomakin Sergey Aleksandrovich Lomakin Chairman
PART 2
Summary of Key Differences between BVI Articles and Cyprus Articles
and Shareholder Rights under BVI law and Cypriot law
As described in the letter from the Chairman set out in Part 1 of this Circular, the Continuation will change the Company's jurisdiction of incorporation from the British Virgin Islands (the "BVI") to the Republic of Cyprus.
The rights of the shareholders of the Company are currently governed by the BVI Companies Act and the Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the "BVI Articles"). After the Continuation, the rights of the holders of the Company's securities will be governed by Cypriot law and the Company's Cyprus memorandum and articles of association (the "Cyprus Articles").
The following are among the most significant differences between the existing BVI Articles and BVI law, on the one hand, and the Cyprus Articles and Cypriot law, on the other hand:
-- Cyprus law prohibits the issuance of shares without par value and requires companies to have a fixedamount of authorised share capital while there are no such capital limitations under BVI law, which permitscompanies to have an unlimited number of authorised shares with or without par value. In addition, Cyprus lawrequires that the amount payable on application on each share shall not be less than 25% of the nominal amount ofthe share. There are no similar restrictions under BVI law;
-- Cyprus law requires public companies to have a minimum share capital of EUR25,629 and to have a minimumof seven shareholders and two directors while BVI law provides no similar restrictions;
-- Cyprus law requires that amendments to the Cyprus Articles must be approved by special resolution of theshareholders, while BVI law permits amendments to the BVI Articles to be made either by the shareholders or, wherethe BVI Articles and BVI law permit, by resolutions of the Board; and
-- Cyprus law does not recognise the concept of treasury shares and under Cyprus law shares can only beacquired or held by a public company following approval by a special resolution of the shareholders in certainlimited circumstances provided in section 57A of the Cyprus Companies Law Cap. 113.
Set forth below is a summary of certain differences between the rights that shareholders of the Company currently have under the BVI Articles and BVI law, and the rights that shareholders of the Company will have under the Cyprus Articles and Cypriot law after the Continuation. This summary is not intended to be a complete discussion of the respective rights and it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the BVI Articles, the Cyprus Articles (a form of which is also enclosed) as well as to BVI and Cypriot law.

The Company is proposing to apply to the Registrar of Companies in the Republic of Cyprus (the "Registry") to continue its incorporation from the British Virgin Islands to the Republic of Cyprus and to be registered in the Registry as a public limited liability company (the "Continuation").
Section 184 of the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, as amended (the "Act") permits a company to, subject to any limitations to the contrary in its Memorandum and Articles of Association and by a resolution of directors or a resolution of members, continue as a company incorporated under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the British Virgin Islands in the manner provided under those laws.
Regulation 24 of the Company's Articles of Association (the "Articles") provides that the Company may continue as a company incorporated under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the British Virgin Islands by a resolution of the members or a resolution of the directors of the Company.
Accordingly, it is proposed that the shareholders adopt the following resolutions:

B. Establishing par value of EUR 0.001 per ordinary share

(b) inserting the words "Subject to the provisions of clause 5.2 below" at the beginning of the first sentence of the redesignated Clause 5.1; and
(c) inserting the following as a new Clause 5.2:
"5.2 Immediately before a continuation of the Company into the Republic of Cyprus, each Share shall automatically convert into an ordinary share of EUR 0.001 par value.",
(the "Par Value Amendment").
Accordingly, it is proposed that the shareholders adopt the following resolution:
Resolution to approve the Par Value Amendment and to authorise and instruct the registered agent of the
Company to immediately make all such filings with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the British
Special Virgin Islands to reflect the Par Value Amendment (either by filing notice of the Par Value Amendment

Act).

Directors until the next Annual General Meeting.
NOTES The following notes explain the general rights of Shareholders and Depositary Interest Holders and the rights to attend and vote at the Meeting of Shareholders or to appoint someone else to vote on their behalf.
Special Resolutions
Although neither BVI law nor the Articles provide for the concept of a "special resolution", it is a requirement of Cyprus law that the Resolutions be passed by a majority of not less than 75% of the members entitled to vote at the Meeting.
Holders of Shares in certificated form 1. All holders (the "Shareholders") of Ordinary Shares in the Company (the "Shares") have the right to attend, speak and vote at the Meeting. A Shareholder is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any of his or her rights to attend and to speak and vote in his or her place. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company. Entitlement to attend and vote at the Meeting, and the number of votes which may be cast at the Meeting, will be determined by reference to the Company's register of Shareholders at 9:00am BVI Time on 28 March 2022 or, if the Meeting is adjourned, 48 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned Meeting (as the case may be). 2. Registered Shareholders holding shares in certificated form should complete the form of proxy provided with the Notice of Meeting (the "Form of Proxy"). The Form of Proxy must be deposited in hard copy form by courier or by hand at the Company's registered office at Commerce House, Wickhams Cay 1, P.O. Box 3140, Road Town, Tortola, VG1110, British Virgin Islands or by email to FPGLShareholderMeeting@conyers.com no later than 9:00am BVI Time on 28 March 2022 or, if the Meeting is adjourned, 48 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned Meeting (as the case may be). 3. The Form of Proxy must be signed and dated by the Shareholder or his/her attorney duly authorised in writing. If Shares in the Company are held by a nominee(s), a form(s) of proxy must be completed and signed by the nominee(s). If the Shareholder is a company, it may execute under its common seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney so authorised. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the Form of Proxy is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the Form of Proxy. 4. When two or more valid but differing appointments of proxy are delivered or received for the same Share for use at the same Meeting, the one which is last validly delivered or received (regardless of its date or the date of its execution) shall be treated as replacing and revoking the other or others as regards that share. If the Company is unable to determine which appointment was last validly delivered or received, none of them shall be treated as valid in respect of that Share.
Depositary Interest Holders 1 Holders ("Depositary Interest Holders") of depositary interests in the Shares ("Depositary Interests") may vote as follows, in each case by no later than 12:00pm EST on 22 March 2022 or, if the Meeting is adjourned, 72 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned Meeting (as the case may be): (a) in the case of Rule 144A Depositary Interest Holders, using the form of instruction provided with the Notice of Meeting (the "Form of Instruction") and instructing their brokers to submit it to Mediant Communications Inc. by email to voteadr@mediantonline.com; and (b) in the case of Regulation S Depositary Interest Holders, by following the procedures described in the CREST manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members (and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s)) should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting services provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf. 2. In order for an instruction made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Voting Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with the specifications of Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited (" Euroclear") and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual (available via https://my.euroclear.com/eui/en/reference/public/legal-information/legal-basics.html). The message, regardless of whether it relates to the appointment of a proxy, or to an amendment to an instruction given to a previously appointed proxy, in order to be valid, must be transmitted as instructed by Euroclear. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the CREST Voting Instruction by the CREST applications host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the CREST Voting Instruction by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. 3. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the transmission of CREST Voting Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that the CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a CREST Voting Instruction is transmitted by means of the CREST service by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings. 4. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Voting Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001. 5. Should a Depositary Interest Holder have any questions regarding the applicable voting procedures they should contact the Depositary at olena.smirnova@bnymellon.com and adrproxy@bnymellon.com. Attendance at the Meeting 1. Given the ongoing Covid-19 global pandemic, the Board has determined pursuant to article 12.13 of the BVI Articles that it is prudent for the health and safety of the participants that physical attendance at the extraordinary general meeting not be permitted. Shareholders are encouraged to vote by proxy in accordance with the instructions above. 2. Any Shareholder (or proxy who is not the Chairman of the Meeting) who wishes to attend the Meeting via electronic means (namely Teams video conference) should complete and return the registration form at Appendix A of the Circular in accordance with the instructions therein no later than 9:00am BVI Time on 28 March 2022 (or not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding an adjourned Meeting) in order to receive the relevant Teams login details and instructions for joining the Meeting. General 1. Any corporation which is a Shareholder may by resolution of its directors or other governing body or officers authorised by such body authorise such person or persons as it thinks fit to act as its representative at the Meeting. Any person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise on behalf of the corporation which he represents the same powers as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual Shareholder. 2. The instrument appointing a proxy and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of such power or authority shall be delivered to the Company's registered office at Commerce House, Wickhams Cay 1, P.O.
