In particular, the Russian Ministry of Energy’s Order No.114 of 24.03.2010 approved the investment program formats of the power industry entities, in the authorized capital of which the government has a stake and formats of reports on completion of the investment program of power industry entities, in the authorized capital of which the state has a stake.

JSC RusHydro Board of Directors approved the participation of the Company in the Self-Regulating Organization Non-Profit Partnership «Construction Organization Association EnergoStroyAlliance — SPO NP EnergoStroyAlliance».

Due to enactment (in the 1st quarter of 2010) of Order of the RF Ministry of Regional Development No.480 of October 21, 2009, «On Alteration of Order of the RF Ministry of Regional Development No.274 of December 9, 2008, «On approval of the list of works of engineering surveys, design document preparation, construction, reconstruction and overhaul repair of capital construction objects that impact on capital construction objects safety», a need arose for JSC RusHydro to join the SRO to obtain requisite work permits, including those for building inspection by a legal entity or self-employed entrepreneur engaged under a contract by the developer or customer, as well as those related to arrangement of construction, reconstruction and overhaul repair by a legal entity or self-employed entrepreneur (general contractor) engaged under a contract by the developer or customer.

JSC RusHydro Board of Directors approved the change in the Company’s share of participation in JSC ESK RusHydro by ceding one share of ESK RusHydro OJSC in favor of Hydroinvest OJSC under a purchase and sale contract.

At present JSC ESK RusHydro is a 100% subsidiary of JSC RusHydro. To optimize corporate governance of the retail companies, whose 100% of shares are held by JSC ESK RusHydro Group, a decision was made to sell 1 share of JSC ESK RusHydro in favor of JSC Gidroinvest (JSC Gidroinvest is also a 100% subsidiary of JSC RusHydro ).

***

JSC RusHydro Board of Directors assigned the Company’s representatives in JSC Gidroinvest Board of Directors responsible for issues of the Company’s participation (change in the share of participation) in other entities to vote for passing a resolution on approving the participation of JSC Gidroinvest in JSC ESK RusHydro.

JSC RusHydro Board of Directors assigned the Company’s representatives in JSC Gidroinvest Board of Directors responsible for issues of the Company’s participation (change in the share of participation) in other entities to vote for passing a resolution on approving the termination of participation of JSC Gidroinvest in Chuvash Power Supply Company OJSC.

JSC RusHydro Board of Directors assigned the Company’s representatives in JSC RusHydro Board of Directors responsible for issues of the Company’s participation (change in the share of participation) in other entities to vote for passing a resolution on approving the JSC ESK RusHydro participation in JSC Chuvash Retail Supply Company.

To optimize management of power supply companies as 100% subsidiaries, the second shareholder — JSC Gidroinvest (JSC RusHydro 100% subsidiary) — joined JSC ESK RusHydro by acquiring one share of JSC ESK RusHydro.

Earlier, in pursuance of applicable laws, one share of JSC Chuvash Retail Supply Company was carved out for the benefit of JSC Gidroinvest. This lifted the restriction for JSC ESK RusHydro to hold 100% of shares of JSC Chuvash Power Supply Company. To optimize corporate governance of JSC Chuvash Power Supply Company as 100% subsidiary, one share of the Company was returned to JSC ESK RusHydro.
