Media will have the opportunity to shoot video and photos of the annual General Shareholders Meeting opening ceremony. Live broadcasting of the Meetings will be arranged in the Press Center. After the Meetings (around 19:00 pm) reporters and representatives from investment & finance companies will have the opportunity to participate in the final Press Conference by the Chairmen of the Company's Board of Directors and Management Committee.

During the accreditation procedure media and representatives from investment & finance companies will receive the Meetings-related information materials and accreditation badges. Access to Gazprom's premises without the badges will be denied on the day of the Meeting.

The rest of accredited reporters and representatives from investment & finance companies will be able to enter the Meeting Press Center from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. Since it is not clear when the Meetings are over, reporters and representatives from investment & finance companies will have the opportunity to leave Gazprom's premises and return by the commencement of the final Press Conference.
