On May 18, 2009, OJSC Rostelecom (the “Company”) filed three “Reports on Material Information” (the “Material Info Reports”) with the Russian Federal Financial Markets Service (“FFMS”) as required by the Russian Federation’s securities legislation. These reports provide information on civil lawsuits filed by Loral against GlobalTel, by Loral against Rostelecom and by Rostelecom against GlobalTel.

 

The requirements for the contents of the Material Info Report and criteria for the information to be disclosed in the Material Info Report are set by the laws and regulations of the Russian Federation and, in particular, the requirements of the FFMS. Such requirements and criteria for the information disclosure may, therefore, materially differ from the reporting and disclosure requirements under the U.S. securities laws to which the Company is subject, including the reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to the Annual Report on Form 20-F.

 

Terms used in the Material Info Report have the meaning given to them by the laws and regulations of the Russian Federation, which meaning may be different from the meaning given to the same terms by the U.S. securities laws and reporting and disclosure requirements including the reporting and disclosure requirements, applicable to the Annual Report on Form 20-F.

 

For any questions concerning the Material Info Report, contact Pavel A. Nezhutin, Corporate Secretary, by phone at +7 499 973 9940, by facsimile at +7 499 973 1055 or by e-mail at pnezhutin@rt.ru.

 

The copies of the Material Info Reports are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1., 99.2. and 99.3.
