Annual fees are as follows:
Ad (1) Base remuneration
Ad (1) Base remuneration
Ad (3) Total remuneration
No other remuneration has been granted or allocated by subsidiaries or other companies
whose financials are consolidated by the Company to members of the Supervisory Board.
Under the remuneration policy for the Supervisory Board, the remuneration of
Supervisory Board members is composed of a fixed cash remuneration and an equity-
based reward. The equity-based reward is not subject to performance criteria and was
awarded in the form of restricted stock units that are converted into X5 global
depositary receipts (X5 GDRs) upon vesting. When the trading of X5 GDRs at the
London Stock Exchange was suspended in March, the Nomination and Remuneration
Committee initiated a restructuring of the Supervisory Board's equity-based
remuneration into a phantom stock plan comparable in terms and size of awards, based
on the GDR trading value on the Moscow Exchange. The necessary adjustment to the
remuneration policy for the Supervisory Board was submitted to, and approved by, the
Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders in November.
All other awards to Supervisory Board members were forfeited in accordance with the rules
of the Restricted Stock Unit Plan.
Under the new Phantom Stock Unit Plan, each remunerated Supervisory Board member is
entitled to an annual equity award in the form of phantom stock units (PSUs), for an award
value equal to his/her annual cash allowance.
Supervisory Board members Peter Demchenkov, Olga Vysotskaya, Fedor Ovchinnikov,
Dmitry Alekseev, and Vassilis Stavrou were each awarded a number of PSUs, calculated by
dividing 100% of their fixed cash remuneration in 2022 by the volume-weighted average
closing market price of one GDR over the thirty immediate calendar days preceding 19 May
2022, i.e. RUB 1,055.66. The PSUs awarded under tranche 1 will vest on 19 May 2025. Upon
vesting, the eligible Supervisory Board members are entitled to a cash pay-out based on the
market value of the awarded PSUs on the vesting date. The number of PSUs awarded and
outstanding to the members of the Supervisory Board is shown below.

For Peter Demchenkov, Chair of the Supervisory Board, the 2022 Extraordinary General
Meeting approved a transition scheme for restricted stock units awarded in 2019, 2020
and 2021; i.e. vesting of his 2019 RSU awards based on the X5 GDR value at the Moscow
Exchange on 22 September 2022.
At the same meeting, the accelerated vesting and cash settlement of restricted stock
units (RSUs) awarded in 2019, 2020 and 2021 to Stephan DuCharme, who stepped down
from the Supervisory Board on 1 March 2022, and Nadia Shouraboura, whose term in
office came to an end at the 2022 Annual General Meeting, was approved. The proposed
cash settlement was based on the X5 GDR value on the Moscow Exchange on
22 September 2022, the date the Supervisory Board resolved to terminate the restricted
stock plan.

1 MOEX value on vesting date in EUR is calculated as average GDR price
on the MOEX on 22 September (RUB 1,268.00) divided by respective
EUR exchange rate on 22 September, as set by the Central Bank of
Russia (RUB 60.211 per EUR 1).
2 The vesting of the 2020 (9,800 RSUs) and 2021 (13,448 RSUs) RSU
awards will remain in line with the vesting schedule under the restricted
stock plan, with the option to settle RSUs in cash upon vesting in 2023
and 2024, respectively, based on the X5 GDR value at the Moscow
Exchange or another exchange where X5 GDRs are primarily traded
at the time of vesting.
