and can control the appointment of the majority of directors and the removal of all of the elected directors.
The
10b5-1
Purchase Instruction set out in the Original Schedule 13D was terminated and no purchases thereunder were made.
No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of any Common Shares, ADSs or GDSs, although consistent with its
investment purpose, each Reporting Person at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Common Shares, ADSs, or GDSs or dispose of any or all of its Common Shares, ADSs or GDSs, as applicable, depending upon prevailing market, economic
and other conditions, other investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons, tax considerations and/or other investment considerations.
As the chairman of the board of directors and controlling shareholder of the Issuer, at any given time, Mr. Zyuzin may be involved in
discussions, plans or proposals which relate to or, if effected, may result in any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.

disclosed in this Schedule 13D are calculated based on an aggregate total of 416,270,745 Common Shares, including Common Shares underlying ADSs and GDSs, issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2017.
As of today, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 45.17% of the Common Shares.

Mr. Zyuzin is the record owner of 89,672,943 Common Shares, which represents 26.47% of the
Common Shares, Calridge is the record owner of 20,553,508 Common Shares, which represents 4.93% of the Common Shares and MetHol is the record owner of 77,826,997 Common Shares, which represents 18.70% of the Common Shares..
Mr. Zyuzin owns all of the outstanding equity interests in Calridge, and, in such capacity, beneficially owns all Common Shares owned by
Calridge.
Mrs. Zyuzina, who is Mr. Zyuzins wife, owns 34% of the outstanding equity interests in MetHol and may therefore
be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the Common Shares held of record by MetHol.
Consequently, the Reporting Persons may be deemed
to be a group within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Act and Rule
13d-5(b)(1)
promulgated thereunder with respect to their holdings of Common Shares.
In October 2017, Calridge transferred to Veriotex Holdings Limited Shares and GDSs representing Shares amounting to a total of 20,533,509
Shares in consideration for the cancellation of loans . A further 20,533,508 Shares were transferred to Bonoro Limited in consideration for cash. Following these transfers, Calridge holds 20,533,508 Shares.
