and involved breaches of fiduciary duties. The suit also claims that the Company, BAM, Brookfield, Purchaser and Acquisition Sub aided and abetted these alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint purports to seek unspecified damages and/or
to enjoin the transactions or rescind the transactions if the transactions are consummated. The plaintiff also seeks attorneys’ and other fees and costs, in addition to seeking other relief. The Company believes that the plaintiff’s
allegations are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously. On June 12, 2015, this suit was amended to include allegations that the public disclosures made by the Company in connection with the transactions are materially
misleading. On June 24, 2015, the plaintiff filed preliminary motions, including motions for expedited discovery.

preclusive deal protection devices, involved conflicts of interests and further alleges that the public disclosures made by the Company in connection with such transactions were materially misleading. The suit also claims that Purchaser and

Additional Information. |

2. |
Item 8 (“Additional Information”) of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following as the final subsection under Item 8: |
“Extension of the Offer
On July 6, 2015, Purchaser announced an extension of the expiration of the Offer until 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on
July 28, 2015, unless further extended. The Offer, which was previously scheduled to expire at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on July 7, 2015, was extended to allow additional time for the U.S. Department of State Directorate of
Defense Trade Controls in accordance with International Traffic in Arms Regulations and for CFIUS (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) to review the Offer. These regulatory reviews are applicable to the transactions because Purchaser is not a U.S.
company. The extension will also allow additional time to obtain applicable approvals and clearances under the competition laws of Russia. All approvals and clearances are expected to be received in the ordinary course. However, if all approvals and
clearances are not received by July 28, 2015, the expiration of the Offer may be extended. The Board unanimously recommends that the holders of Shares accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer.
Computershare Trust Company, N.A., in its capacity as depositary for the Offer, has advised Purchaser and the Company that as of 5:00 pm,
New York City time, on July 2, 2015, approximately 11,869,693 Shares have been tendered into and not properly withdrawn from the Offer.”
