Nebius Group Announces Planned Resumption of Trading on Nasdaq
and Provides Investor Update
Amsterdam,
October 17, 2024 — Nebius Group N.V. (“Nebius Group” or the “Company”; NASDAQ: NBIS; the
“Company”) today announces that it has been informed by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that trading in
the Company’s Class A ordinary shares is scheduled to resume on Monday October 21, 2024.
On Friday October 18,
2024, the Company will make available a detailed investor presentation, together with an investor webcast, providing further information
on its businesses. The presentation and webcast will be available on the Company’s website (https://group.nebius.com/investor-hub)
and the presentation will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company also intends to announce its financial results
for the third quarter of 2024 on Thursday, October 31, 2024, and will host a live webcast on that date.
Arkady Volozh, founder and CEO of Nebius
Group, said:
“We are pleased to have our shares
trading again on Nasdaq, which opens a new chapter for our Company, as a publicly traded pure play in the fast-growing AI infrastructure
space.
“Our ambition is to build one of the
world’s largest specialist AI infrastructure businesses. This requires access to technological expertise, graphics processing units
(“GPUs”) and capital. These are exactly what we have.
“With a strong cash position of approximately
$2 billion, we are already investing in building out our network of GPU clusters and gaining significant traction among AI innovators
and businesses of all sizes in Europe, the US and elsewhere. We have announced our plans to substantially increase our data center capacity,
expect to finish this calendar year with more than 20,000 GPUs in place and have launched our AI cloud platform, which we have built
from scratch. We had annualized run-rate revenue of $120 million as of September 30, 2024, and expect to be on track for $170 million
to $190 million in annualized run-rate revenue by year end 2024.”
“The road to today was not an easy
one,” commented John Boynton, Chairman of the Board, “but I could not be more excited about the road we have chosen. The
opportunity ahead of us is immense. We have the right technology and team for this moment. And we have the ambition to build something
even bigger than what we built before.”
As previously announced, the Company has
appointed Goldman Sachs as exclusive financial advisor to review certain strategic options that would enable the Company to accelerate
its planned investments in its core AI infrastructure business. This process is ongoing, and the Company will provide updates to the
market in due course.
Background to Nasdaq Trading
Trading in the Company’s Class A
ordinary shares was suspended on February 28, 2022, following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Following the successful
divestment of our Russian assets, which completed the separation from all ties with Russia, Nasdaq has determined that trading in our
shares will resume. The Company’s shares previously traded under the name Yandex N.V. and ticker symbol “YNDX”. The
Company changed its name to Nebius Group N.V. and its ticker symbol to “NBIS” in August 2024.
Third-Party Tender Offers
We are aware that third parties may have
launched tender offers for a minority of the Company’s Class A shares. The Company is not involved in, and has not authorized,
such offers. We are not able to comment or provide any advice to shareholders in respect of any third-party offer and recommend that
shareholders take their own independent legal and investment advice.
Investor Presentation and Webcast Information
The investor presentation and webcast will
be available on Friday October 18, 2024, at:
