This press release is an advertisement and not a prospectus and investors should not subscribe for any shares or other securities referred to in this press release except on the basis of information in the Offer Document and the Prospectus published by the Company.This press release does not constitute or form part of any offer or invitation to sell or issue, or any solicitation of any offer to purchase or subscribe for, any shares or other securities of EVRAZ plc or Evraz Group S.A., nor shall any part of it nor the fact of its distribution form part of or be relied on in connection with any contract or investment decision relating thereto, nor does it constitute a recommendation regarding the securities of EVRAZ plc or Evraz Group S.A.

The information contained herein does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the securities referred to herein in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration, exemption from registration or qualification under the securities laws of any jurisdiction. The securities referred to herein may not be offered, or sold in the United States absent registration under the US Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") or another exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

These materials and information contained herein are not a public offer or advertisement of securities in Russia, and are not an offer, or an invitation to make offers, to purchase, sell, exchange or transfer any shares whether in the form of shares or global depositary receipts ("GDRs") in Russia. This information is not intended to be and must not be publicly distributed in the Russian Federation and is not intended to and must not be sent to persons who are not qualified investors under Russian law. No shares or GDRs have been or will be registered in Russia or are intended for placement or public circulation in Russia.

These materials and information contained herein do not constitute an offer of securities and nothing herein shall be read or construed as constituting investment advice or recommendations.

The Offer is being made in reliance on, and in compliance with, Rule 14d-1(c) under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Offer is being made for securities of a non-US company. The Offer is subject to disclosure requirements of the United Kingdom and these are different from those of the United States. Financial statements, if any, included in the documents relating to the Offer have been prepared in accordance with International Foreign Reporting Standards that may not be comparable to the financial statements of United States companies. The payment and settlement procedures with respect to the Offer will comply with the relevant United Kingdom rules, which differ from United States payment and settlement procedures. In accordance with normal United Kingdom market practice, EVRAZ plc or any person acting on their behalf may from time to time make certain market or private purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, directly or indirectly, existing securities other than pursuant to the Offer. Any information about such purchases will be publicly announced as required by law or regulation in the United Kingdom and United States.

EVRAZ plc is organised under the laws of England and Wales and Evraz Group S.A. is organised under the laws of Luxembourg. Some or all of the officers and directors of EVRAZ plc and Evraz Group S.A., respectively, are residents of countries other than the United States. In addition, most of the assets of EVRAZ plc and Evraz Group S.A. are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for US shareholders to enforce their rights and any claim they may have arising under the US federal securities laws, since EVRAZ plc is located in a foreign country, and some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of foreign countries. US shareholders may not be able to sue a foreign company or its officers or directors in a foreign court for violations of the US securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a foreign company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgement.

You should be aware that EVRAZ plc may purchase securities otherwise than under the Offer, such as in the open market or privately negotiated purchases.
