The meeting’s agenda included the following key items:

Distribution of the Company’s profit or loss for the 2014 financial year. A decision was taken concerning recommendations to the AGM on distribution of net profit. The Board recommended the AGM neither to announce nor to pay dividends for the 2014 financial year. This solution is in line with the Company’s dividend policy whereby dividends are paid on the basis of consolidated net profit under IFRS.

The revised versions of these documents comply with amendments in Russian Federation legislation as well as the implementation of the Action plan (the Road Map) previously approved by the Board to introduce all key regulations of Russia’s Corporate Management Code in Aeroflot practices. The majority of changes are technical. Among other issues the new legislation stipulates that the legal form of the company be changed from an open joint stock company to a public joint stock company.

JSC Aeroflot’s participation in the Aviation Mobility and Aviation Technologies Technological Platform Association. The decision was made to include this issue as an agenda item for the AGM as well as recommend that Aeroflot joins this Association.

- the initiation of projects in line with the Company’s core activities;

- attracting financing for the Company and the industry as a whole in order to address key challenges;
