Dividend Taxation

Russian residents, both individuals and organisations, are subject to a 9% tax rate, while non-residents are subject to a 15% tax rate. PhosAgro also takes into account any double tax treaties and, where appropriate, makes tax payments in accordance with the provisions of the relevant treaty.
Any existing or potential PhosAgro shareholders and holders of the Company’s GDRs are advised to consult their tax advisors for tax implications, including any tax exemptions, with regards to dividend payments.
