Non-IFRS Financial
Measures

We present adjusted net revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net profit, each of which are non-IFRS financial measures. You
should not consider these non-IFRS financial measures as substitutes for or superior to revenue, in the case of adjusted net revenue, or net profit, in the case of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net profit, each prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Furthermore, because these non-IFRS financial measures are not determined in accordance with IFRS, they are susceptible to varying calculations and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies. We encourage
investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Adjusted net revenue

Adjusted net revenue is calculated by subtracting cost of revenue from revenue and adding back compensation to employees and related taxes.
Adjusted net revenue is a key measure used by management to observe our operational profitability since it reflects our portion of the revenue net of fees that we pass through, primarily to our agents. In addition, under IFRS, most types of fees are
presented on a gross basis whereas certain types of fees are presented on a net basis. Therefore, in order to analyze our two sources of payment processing fees on a comparative basis, management reviews adjusted net revenue in addition to gross
revenue. We add back compensation to employees and related taxes because, although they are an essential part of our distribution network, these expenses are not directly linked to payment volume. Nevertheless, compensation to employees and related
taxes represents an important portion of our operating costs and affects liquidity and financial performance.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net profit before income tax expense, interest expense, interest income and depreciation and amortization, as
further adjusted for loss from discontinued operations, share of loss of associates, impairment of investment in associates, foreign exchange gain and loss, other expenses, other income, loss/(gain) on disposal of subsidiaries, corporate costs
allocated to discontinued operations, gain on bargain purchase, income from depositary, offering expenses, share-based payment expenses and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets acquired in the business combinations. We present adjusted
EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures
(affecting interest expenses, net), changes in foreign exchange rates that impact financial asset and liabilities denominated in currencies other than our functional currency (affecting foreign exchange loss/gain, net), tax positions (such as the
impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates), the age and book depreciation of fixed assets (affecting relative depreciation expense), non-cash charges (affecting share-based payments expenses), and certain one-time income
expenses (affecting other income, offering expenses, gain on bargain purchase, gain (loss) on disposal of subsidiaries and income from depository). Adjusted EBITDA also excludes other expenses, share in losses of associates and impairment of
investment in associates because we believe it is helpful to view the performance of our business excluding the impact of entities that we do not control, and because our share of the net income (loss) of the associate and other expenses includes
items that have other been excluded from adjusted EBITDA (such as finance expenses, net, tax on income and depreciation and amortization). In addition, adjusted EBITDA excludes the non-cash impact of loss from discontinued operations and corporate
costs allocated to discontinued operations because we do not believe these items reflect the underlying performance of our business. Because adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of operating performance on a more consistent basis, we
also use adjusted EBITDA in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors.

Some limitations of adjusted EBITDA are:



| |  |  | adjusted EBITDA does not include offering expenses;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adjusted EBITDA does not include other income, other expense and foreign exchange gains and losses;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization and although these are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adjusted EBITDA does not include gains and losses from discontinued operations; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adjusted EBITDA does not include share-based payments.

Adjusted net profit

Adjusted net profit
is defined as net profit excluding loss from discontinued operations (net of tax), corporate costs allocated to discontinued operations, amortization of fair value adjustments, gain on bargain purchase, gains (loss) on disposals of subsidiaries,
share-based payment expenses, offering expenses, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets acquired in the business combinations, income from depositary, foreign exchange gain on June 2014 offering proceeds and the effects of taxation on those
excluded items. Adjusted net profit is a key measure used by management to observe the operational profitability of the company. We believe adjusted net profit is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it is widely
used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to measure a companys operating performance without the effect of non-recurring items or items that are not core to our operations. For example, loss from discontinued
operations, corporate costs allocated to discontinued operations, gain on bargain purchase, gains on disposals, the effects of deferred taxation on excluded items and offering expenses do not represent the core operations of the business, and
amortization of fair value adjustments and share-based payments expenses do not have a substantial cash effect. Nevertheless, such gains and losses can affect our financial performance.

In conducting our business, we face many risks that may interfere with
our business objectives. Some of these risks relate to our operational processes, while others relate to our business environment. It is important to understand the nature of these risks. If any of the following risks actually occurs, it may
materially harm our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry

The payment services industry is highly competitive, and we have a number of competitors that are larger and have greater financial and other resources.

The payment services industry is highly competitive, and our continued growth depends on our ability to compete effectively. In
the countries in which we operate, we face competition from a variety of financial and non-financial business groups. These competitors include retail banks, non-traditional payment service providers (such as retailers and mobile network operators,
or MNOs), traditional kiosk and terminal operators and electronic payment system operators, as well as other companies which provide various forms of payment services, including electronic payment and payment processing services. Competitors in our
industry seek to differentiate themselves by features and functionalities such as speed, convenience, network size, accessibility, hours of operation, reliability and price. A significant number of our competitors have greater financial,
technological and marketing resources than we have, operate robust networks and are highly regarded by consumers.

In Russia, we face
significant competition from major retail banks for our services. Our primary competitors include Sberbank, Russias largest retail bank that is majority-owned by the Russian state, and Alfa-Bank, one of the leading privately owned Russian
retail banks, both of which have electronic banking systems and large retail networks. Some retail banks are currently developing their own networks of kiosks and terminals and various electronic payment products. Sberbank, for example, has stated
that its strategic goals include the promotion of alternative banking channels, such as kiosks, internet banking and mobile banking, and actively develops its online payment services capabilities, including through Yandex.Money, a major electronic
payment system operator in Russia. Sberbank has access to significant financial resources and an extensive nationwide network of branches that can serve as a platform for the expansion of its kiosk business. Sberbank is the largest processor of
utility bill payments, which constitute a very significant portion of overall consumer spending in our industry. These factors may give Sberbank a substantial competitive advantage over us if it pursues its strategy of establishing a broad kiosk
network, internet banking and mobile banking businesses.

Our competitors also include the Russian Federal State Unitary Enterprise Postal
Service, or Russian Post, which offers certain payment services. Russian Posts geographical penetration is more dispersed than our physical distribution network (i.e. our kiosks and terminals). For instance, in December 2015, it was reported
that the Russian Post acquired a bank to boost its services offering. As a state-sponsored institution, we believe that it is able to provide payment services at significantly lower prices than we are able to match profitably. If any of our
competitors with a broad network of branches, including Sberbank, Alfa-Bank or Russian Post, were to establish or actively pursue a kiosk and terminal business, we would lose many of our consumers and our margins could be harmed. The geographical
footprint of some of our competitors could also be leveraged by them to gain or increase a market share in the money transfers business. We also face competition from non-traditional payment service providers that have substantial financial
resources, such as major telecommunication and small electronics retailers, including Euroset and Svyaznoy, online retailers such as Alibaba, as well as MNOs, in particular the Russian Big Three MNOs, MegaFon, VimpelCom and MTS. We also
compete against some directly comparable businesses, such as traditional kiosk and terminal operators, including Cyberplat, Compay and Elecsnet, and electronic payment system operators (primarily Yandex.Money and WebMoney). New competitors may
penetrate the Russian electronic payment market as well, including established international players such as MoneyGram, Google, Samsung (which acquired an electronic payments company LoopPay in February 2015) or Apple (which introduced its own
payments service Apple Pay in September 2014). In 2013, PayPal obtained a Non-Banking Credit Institution license from the CBR in order to conduct business in Russia, which enabled its customers to effect transactions in Russian rubles. In November
2013, Russias premier online bank Tinkoff Credit Systems announced the launch of its own electronic wallet system, called Tinkoff Mobile Wallet. In November 2014, the state-owned telecommunications company Rostelekom announced its plans to
create its own payment system. Additionally, some of our competitors are currently our major merchants (the Big Three MNOs) or our large agents (for example, Svyaznoy). If we are unable to compete successfully for consumers, agents and merchants,
our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our continued growth depends on our ability to maintain or increase our average net revenue yield.

One of the key measures we use to assess our financial performance is our average net revenue yield, which we calculate by
dividing adjusted net revenue by the total payment volume of the transactions we process. Our average net revenue yield may be affected by a number of factors, including increased competition, pressure from merchants and/or agents, and acquisitions.
We have experienced declines in our average net revenue yield for certain merchant categories in the past, in particular for our Telecom merchants where the merchant fees were sharply reduced by the Big Three MNOs, who have been seeking to reduce
costs, and may continue to do so in the future. In addition, in 2015, our average net revenue yield declined following the acquisition of the Contact money transfer system (Contact) and the Rapida payment processing system
(Rapida) businesses, both of which had been operating with a significantly lower average net revenue yield than QIWI (excluding Contact and Rapida) during 2015. In order to maintain our competitiveness, we must continue to ensure that
our payment processing system provides a more convenient and attractive option for both merchants and customers than alternative systems that may not require payment of a processing fee. Retail banks and various payment service providers are
constantly developing low to zero-commission payment channels for their consumers. To attract consumers, we also offer certain services on a commission-free basis, such as peer-to-peer transfers within Visa Qiwi Wallet and certain payments in
e-commerce. Despite our efforts, consumers may still choose to use other payment systems, even if those systems do not offer the convenience that we do, because they charge lower fees. In addition, because agents are able to switch between different
payment processing systems, we may face additional pressure to reduce the fees we charge due to increased competition from other payment service providers.

As a result, if average net revenue yields continue to decline, we must offset the financial impact of such decline by increasing our payment
volume or through the development and enhancement of value added services. We cannot assure you that we will be able to increase our payment volumes or that any value added services we introduce will be profitable. If we are unable to offset the
decline in our average net revenue yield resulting from this and other factors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

In addition, the Contact and Rapida businesses have historically operated with a significantly lower average net revenue yield than us. As a
part of our strategy, we are seeking to increase the average net revenue yields of the Contact and Rapida businesses, for instance, through the renegotiation of legacy merchant contracts. If we are not able to increase the average net revenue yield
of Contact and Rapida, our future growth may be materially and adversely affected.

We are subject to the economic risk and business cycles of our
merchants and agents and the overall level of consumer spending.

The payment services industry depends heavily on the overall
level of consumer spending. We are exposed to general economic conditions that affect consumer confidence, consumer spending, consumer discretionary income or changes in consumer purchasing habits. Economic factors such as employment levels,
business conditions, energy and fuel costs, interest rates, inflation rate and the strength of the ruble against foreign currencies (in particular the U.S. dollar) could reduce consumer spending or change consumer purchasing habits. A reduction in
the amount of consumer spending could result in a decrease in our revenue and profits. If our merchants make fewer sales of their products and services using our services or consumers spend less money per transaction, we will have fewer transactions
to process at lower amounts, resulting in lower revenue. A further weakening in the economy could have a negative impact on our merchants, as well as consumers who purchase products and services using our payment processing systems, which could, in
turn, negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations, particularly if the recessionary environment disproportionately affects some of the market segments that represent a larger portion of our payment processing
volume. In addition, these factors could force some of our merchants and/or agents to liquidate their operations or go bankrupt, or could cause our agents to reduce the number of their locations or hours of operation, resulting in reduced
transaction volumes. We also have a certain amount of fixed costs, including salaries and rent, which could limit our ability to adjust costs and respond quickly to changes affecting the economy and our business.

Russias economy has been facing significant challenges for the past few years due to the combined effect of the ongoing crisis in
Eastern Ukraine and Syria, the economic and financial sanctions imposed in connection with it on certain Russian companies and individuals, as well as against entire sectors of Russian economy, by the U.S., EU, Canada and other countries, a steep
decline in oil prices, a record weakening of the Russian ruble against the U.S. dollar, a lack of access to financing for Russian issuers, capital flight and a general climate of political and economic uncertainty. See  Economic
instability in Russia could have an adverse effect on our business and  The situation in Ukraine and the U.S., EU and other sanctions that have been imposed could adversely impact our operations and financial condition. The
Russian economy contracted in 2015 and is expected to continue to contract in 2016. At the same time, the populations purchasing power is decreasing due to the weakening of the ruble, basic necessities such as food products and utilities are
becoming more expensive, and consumer confidence is declining, according to the Russian Consumer Confidence Overall Index reported by Rosstat. According to Rosstat, inflation was 11.4% in 2014 and 12.9% in 2015, while real average wages have been
declining (with Rosstats preliminary data for 2015 indicating that the populations real disposable income contracted by 4% in 2015 as compared to 2014). Against this backdrop, household consumption decreased by 10.1% in 2015, according
to the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration. A prolonged economic slowdown in Russia could have a significant negative effect on consumer spending in Russia and, accordingly, on our business. As a result of the
challenging operating environment in Russia, we have experienced slower payment volume growth in certain of our payment categories and payment volume decline in certain others, in particular in Financial Services, which has been impacted by several
factors including low consumer loan approval rates and lack of refinancing options available to consumers, the revocation of licenses of several large banks and a decrease in real disposable income. The current financial crisis in Russia is still
ongoing. Our loan repayment and money remittance volumes, and to a lesser degree our e-commerce payments volumes, have been particularly affected, due to a shrinking banking sector, increasing unemployment and cautious consumer spending. Moreover,
loan repayment volumes and our corresponding revenue from financial services

have also been affected by the restrictively high key rate of the CBR as well as increasing bad debt provisions of Russian banks, which together have resulted in lack of access for consumers to
refinancing of existing loans and banks cautious reluctance to grow their loan portfolios. As a result of the continued deteriorating macroeconomic environment in Russia, we revised our earnings guidance for 2015. Further adverse changes in
economic conditions in Russia could adversely impact our future revenues and profits and cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We do not control the rates of the fees levied by our agents on consumers.

Our agents pay us an agreed fee using a portion of the fees levied by them on consumers. The fee paid to us by the agent is based on a
percentage of the value of each transaction that we process. However, in certain cases the amount of fees levied by an agent on a consumer for each particular transaction is determined by such agent at its own discretion. We do not cap the amount of
such fees or otherwise control it. We believe that the fees set by our agents are market-driven, and that our interests and our agents interests are aligned with a view to maintaining fees at a level that would simultaneously result in our
agents profitability and customer satisfaction. However, we can provide no assurance that our agents will not raise fees to a level that will adversely affect the popularity of our products among consumers. At the same time, if we are forced
to cap customer fees to protect the strength of our brand or otherwise, we may lose a significant number of agents, which would reduce the penetration of our physical distribution network. In limited instances, we have introduced such caps at the
request of our merchants. No assurance can be made that this trend will not increase. Material increases in customer fees by our agents or the imposition of caps on the rates of such fees by us could have an adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

Our independent public registered accounting firm identified a material weakness in our internal control over
financial reporting during our 2011 audit, and we can provide no assurance that additional material weaknesses will not be identified in the future.

Our internal controls relating to preparation of our financial statements have not kept pace with the changes in and increasing scope and
volume of our business. Our financial reporting function and system of internal controls is less developed in certain respects than those of payment service providers that operate in more developed markets and may not provide our management with as
much or as accurate or timely information. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, has defined a material weakness as a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote
likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with their audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, our independent
registered public accounting firm identified a material weakness in our internal controls with respect to our financial statement closing process. As a result of efforts we undertook, we remediated the related material weakness as of
December 31, 2012. However, we can give no assurance that additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting will not be identified in the future. Our failure to implement and maintain effective internal control
over financial reporting could result in errors in our financial statements that could lead to a restatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported
financial information, which may result in a decline in the market price of our ADSs.

If consumer confidence in our business deteriorates, our
business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our business is built on consumers
confidence in our brands, as well as our ability to provide fast, reliable payment services, including electronic payment and payment processing services. As a consumer business, the strength of our brand and reputation are of paramount importance
to us. A number of factors could adversely affect consumer confidence in our brand, many of which are beyond our control, and could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. These factors include:



| |  |  | illegal or improper use of our systems and compliance related concerns;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | regulatory action or investigations against us;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any significant interruption to our systems and operations; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any breach of our security system or any compromises of consumer data.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, we are
largely dependent on our agents and franchisees to which we license our products to maintain the reputation of our brand. Despite the measures that we put in place to ensure their compliance with our performance standards, our lack of control over
their operations may result in the low quality of service of a particular agent or franchisee being attributed to our brand, negatively affecting our overall reputation. Furthermore, negative publicity surrounding any assertion that our agents
and/or merchants are implicated in fraudulent transactions, irrespective of the accuracy of such publicity or its connection with our current operations or business, could harm our reputation.

Any event that hurts our brand and reputation among consumers as a reliable payment services provider could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A decline in the use of cash as a means of payment or a decline in the use of kiosks and terminals may
result in a reduced demand for our services.

Substantially all of our business is in emerging markets, including Russia and
Kazakhstan, where a substantial part of the population relies on cash payments, rather than credit and debit card payments or electronic banking. We believe that consumers making cash payments are more likely to use our kiosks and terminals as well
as Visa Qiwi Wallet, which is most commonly reloaded via kiosks and terminals, than using alternative payment methods. As a result, we believe that our profitability depends on the use of cash as a means of payment and the reach of our kiosks and
terminals network. There can be no assurance that over time, the prevalence of cash payments will not decline as a greater percentage of the population in emerging markets adopts credit and debit card payments and electronic banking and as our
kiosks and terminals network decreases. The shift from cash payments to credit and debit card payments and electronic banking could reduce our market share and payment volumes and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

Other factors could also contribute to a decline in the use of kiosks and terminals, including
regulatory changes, increases in consumer fees imposed by the agents (see We do not control the rates of the fees levied by our agents on consumers), and development of alternative payment channels. According to data by
Json & Partners Consulting, the number of and the use of kiosks was lower in 2015 than in prior years.

In mid-2015, the
CBR enhanced its scrutiny over the compliance by the agents with legislation that requires them to remit their proceeds to special accounts, which has had a negative impact on the size of our kiosk network. Through reducing the size of our network,
this adversely affects the availability and convenience of our services to consumers, including the convenience of use of Visa Qiwi Wallet, for which historically our kiosks and terminals have been the most popular reload channel. These developments
could have the effect of making the use of our kiosks and terminals more expensive for the consumers, as our agents may seek to offset costs associated with the increased compliance burden by increasing consumer fees. Additionally, this could
increase the cost to us of consumers reloading their Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts, since historically our own kiosks and terminals have been the most popular reload channel (see The cost to us of consumers reloading their Visa Qiwi Wallet
accounts may increase). All of these factors could undermine the appeal of our services for the consumers. Moreover, failure to comply with such enhanced control measures could result in the CBR imposing fines or restrictions on our activities
(see Qiwi Bank, Rapida LTD and other Russian banks and credit organizations operate in a highly regulated environment, and increased regulator scrutiny could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations). All of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may
not be able to expand into new geographical markets, or develop our existing international operations successfully, which could limit our ability to grow and increase our profitability.

Our long-term strategy includes entering into new geographical markets and developing our existing operations outside of Russia. Our expansion
into new geographical markets and further development of our international operations depend on our ability to apply our existing technology or to develop new applications to meet the particular needs of each local market or country. We may not have
adequate financial, technological or personnel and management resources to develop effective and secure services or distribution channels that will satisfy the demands of these markets. We may not be able to establish partnerships with merchants or
to attract agents to invest in new geographical markets to strengthen our international operations. If we fail to enter new markets or countries and to further develop our international operations, we may not be able to continue to grow our revenues
and earnings. Furthermore, we may expand into new geographical markets in which we may not have any previous operating experience. We operate in an industry that is often subject to significant regulation, and our lack of familiarity with the
regulatory landscape in new markets may result in our running into unanticipated problems or delays in obtaining the requisite regulatory approvals and licenses. We may not be able to successfully expand in such markets due to our lack of
experience. Moreover, we may not be able to execute our strategy in our existing international operations successfully, which may result in additional losses or limit our growth prospects. In addition, expanding internationally subjects us to a
number of risks, including:



| |  |  | greater difficulty in managing foreign operations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expenses associated with localizing our products, including offering consumers the ability to transact in major currencies;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | higher labor costs and problems integrating employees that we hire in different countries into our existing corporate culture;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | laws and business practices that favor local competitors;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | multiple and changing laws, tax regimes and government regulations;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | foreign currency restrictions and exchange rate fluctuations;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in a specific countrys or regions political or economic conditions; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | differing intellectual property laws.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------

In addition, our global operations expose us to
numerous and sometimes conflicting legal and regulatory requirements, and violations or unfavorable interpretation by authorities of these regulations could harm our business. In particular, we are exposed to the risk of being deemed to have
permanent establishment in a specific country and transfer pricing risks which could result in additional tax liability.

If we are not
able to manage these and multiple other risks associated with global operations successfully, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

We are subject to extensive government regulation.

Our business is impacted by laws and regulations that affect our industry, the number of which has increased significantly in recent years. We
are subject to a variety of regulations aimed at preventing money laundering and financing criminal activity and terrorism, financial services regulations, payment services regulations, consumer protection laws, currency control regulations,
advertising laws and privacy and data protection laws and therefore experience periodic investigations by various regulatory authorities in connection with the same, which may sometimes result in monetary or other sanctions being imposed on us.
Further, these laws and regulations vary significantly from country to country. Many of these laws and regulations are constantly evolving, and are often unclear and inconsistent with other applicable laws and regulations, including across various
jurisdictions, making compliance challenging and increasing our related operating costs and legal risks. In particular, there has been increased public attention and heightened legislation and regulations regarding money laundering and terrorist
financing. We sometimes have to make significant judgment calls in applying anti-money laundering legislation and risk being found in non-compliance with it, particularly in relation to its mandatory client identification requirements, if, for
example, we process payments made by our consumers from their Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts for amounts in excess of the thresholds imposed by anti-money laundering legislation without the required client identification. Although we use all methods
available for client identification and are in compliance with market practice (see Know-your-client requirements established by Russian anti-money laundering legislation may adversely impact our transaction volumes) the Russian
regulators may view us as being non-compliant and impose fines and other sanctions on us.

If local authorities in Russia, Kazakhstan or
other countries choose to enforce specific interpretations of the applicable legislation that differ from ours, we may be found to be in violation and subject to penalties or other liabilities. This could also limit our ability in processing some of
the payments we currently process going forward and may increase our cost of doing business.

In the end of 2014, we became subject to
financial monitoring legislation in Kazakhstan, imposing certain client identification requirements on us. In connection with such legislation, we had to restructure our operations in Kazakhstan to make our Kazakh subsidiary, instead of a Russian
one, the operator of our payment system in the country which we completed in September 2015. As the anti-money laundering legislation in Kazakhstan is relatively nascent and undeveloped, we face various difficulties while applying it. Currently we
and other participants of electronic money market in Kazakhstan cooperate with the local authorities in order to clarify the existing legislative gaps to ensure proper functioning of anti-money laundering procedures in Kazakhstan. However, if we are
not able to do so or if we are not able to comply with the new legislation for any other reason, we could become subject to regulatory action in Kazakhstan and could face fines or significant restrictions on our business operations in the country.
In addition, there is a draft law under consideration of the Kazakh legislature that seeks to introduce a more comprehensive regulatory regime for the payments market in general. This draft law, if adopted in its current form, would confer certain
additional compliance, reporting and other obligations and liabilities upon certain of our subsidiaries. We are currently continuing to assess the potential impact of this new legislation on our business. Since such legislation is nascent and little
tested in practice, we may become subject to fines and other penalties if the measures we undertake in response are viewed as insufficient by the relevant regulators.

In some jurisdictions where we operate, there is currently little or virtually no legislation addressing electronic payments, and no assurance
can be made that if such legislation is adopted it will be beneficial to our business. For instance, if a statutory cap is imposed on the fees that can be charged to the consumers using our kiosks and terminals, it could significantly reduce our
margins. From time to time, proposals are submitted to the Russian State Duma to cap the amount of such fees.

Furthermore, there can also
be no assurance that the mandatory client identification requirements under the anti-money laundering legislation will not change further in a manner adverse to our business, for example, through making the identification process more burdensome or
through lowering the thresholds for transactions which non-identified customers or customers that only underwent the simplified identification process can perform (see Regulation), which could result in lower payment volumes for us.

Currently all transactions with the use of cards issued under international brands, such as Visa and MasterCard, are processed through the
facilities of the Russian national payment card system rather than the international payment systems own facilities. While not directly applicable to us, these developments have complicated the operations of international payment systems in
Russia, and could potentially have broader detrimental consequences for the Russian financial system, which are difficult to evaluate at this stage. While both Visa and MasterCard are continuing to operate in Russia within the framework of the new
legislation, there can be no assurance how situation will further develop. If Visa ceases to operate in Russia, we may be unable to issue Visa-branded prepaid cards or continue to operate under the Visa Qiwi Wallet brand, and thereby
lose the possible benefits of association with the Visa brand. This could lower consumer confidence with our products and could reduce the number of transactions made though Visa Qiwi Wallet, which could have a material adverse effect on our Visa
Qiwi Wallet business and our business as a whole. It could also render us unable to realize our international expansion plans associated with our partnership with Visa. Additionally, these developments have caused international payment systems to
start increasing their fees for Russian banks to protect their margins.

Changes in our industry are rapid, and new products that we
develop may become subject to government regulation undoing the benefits we expect to derive from such products. Recently we started developing a new cryptocurrency bitruble on the basis of the blockchain technology used for bitcoins. We
have been working with Russian regulators to ensure that we will be able to launch this product in full compliance with Russian law. However, given that prohibition of bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies in Russia is being actively called for by a
number of government officials, no assurance can be given that such launch will eventually take place, or that this product would not become prohibited after the launch, in which case we would have to cease its operations. This would result in a
loss of our investment in this project and potentially damage our reputation as a result of being involved with a product that became illegal.

Generally, Russian lawmakers and enforcement agencies have recently demonstrated increased
scrutiny in matters relating to cyberspace and e-payments, as borne out in the enhanced enforcement activities in the kiosk market, the de-anonymization of e-payments and various other initiatives aimed at increasing state control over online
activities.

In addition, there is significant uncertainty regarding future legislation on taxation of electronic payments in most of the
countries in which we operate, including in respect of the place of taxation. Subsequent legislation and regulation and interpretations thereof, litigation, court rulings, or other events could expose us to increased costs, liability and
reputational damage that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to
complete or integrate successfully any potential future acquisitions, partnerships or joint ventures.

From time to time, we have
evaluated and expect to continue to evaluate possible acquisition transactions, partnerships or joint ventures on an on-going basis, some of which may be material. At any time, including currently, we may be engaged in discussions or negotiations or
diligence evaluations with respect to possible acquisitions, partnerships or joint ventures or may have entered into non-binding documents in relation to such transactions. As part of our strategy, we intend to continue our disciplined approach to
identifying, executing and integrating strategic acquisitions.

Potential future acquisitions, partnerships and joint ventures may pose
significant risks to our existing operations if they cannot be successfully integrated. These projects would place additional demands on our managerial, operational, financial and other resources, create operational complexity requiring additional
personnel and other resources and require enhanced control procedures. In addition, we may not be able to successfully finance or integrate any businesses, services or technologies that we acquire or with which we form a partnership or joint
venture. Furthermore, the integration of any acquisition may divert managements time and resources from our core business and disrupt our operations. Moreover, even if we were successful in integrating newly acquired assets, expected synergies
or cost savings may not materialize, resulting in lower than expected benefits to us from such transactions. We may spend time and money on projects that do not increase our revenue. Additionally, when making acquisitions it may not be possible for
us to conduct a detailed investigation of the nature of the assets being acquired due to, for instance, time constraints in making the decision and other factors. We may become responsible for additional liabilities or obligations not foreseen at
the time of an acquisition. In addition, in connection with any acquisitions, we must comply with various antitrust requirements. It is possible that perceived or actual violations of these requirements could give rise to regulatory enforcement
action or result in us not receiving all necessary approvals in order to complete a desired acquisition. To the extent we pay the purchase price of any acquisition in cash, it would reduce our cash reserves, and to the extent the purchase price is
paid with our stock, it could be dilutive to our stockholders. To the extent we pay the purchase price with proceeds from the incurrence of debt, it would increase our level of indebtedness and could negatively affect our liquidity and restrict our
operations. Our competitors may be willing or able to pay more than us for acquisitions, which may cause us to lose certain acquisitions that we would otherwise desire to complete. All of the above risks could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

We have grown rapidly in recent years and need to implement enhanced
compliance processes, procedures and controls with respect to the rules and regulations that apply to our business.

Our business
has grown and developed rapidly in recent years and we are continuing to realign our compliance function with the size of our business. In light of the fact that we are a highly regulated business that processes large volumes of payments, we need to
implement enhanced processes, procedures and controls in order to provide reasonable assurance that we are operating in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. In particular, the Russian anti-money laundering laws to which we are subject
contain numerous requirements with respect to identification of clients, and documentation and reporting of transactions subject to mandatory control and other suspicious transactions to the relevant authorities. Following our acquisition of Rapida
LTD, we have had to devote further resources to enhance the compliance function within Rapida LTD, which, at the time of our acquisition, was deficient in several areas.

Under guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission, companies are allowed to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of
internal control over financial reporting during the first year of an acquisition. Therefore, management excluded CIHRUS LLC (CIHRUS) and its subsidiaries from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2015, because it was acquired in June 2015 and we will not be required to assess the internal controls over financial reporting of CIHRUS and its subsidiaries, including Rapida LTD until the filing of our Annual Report on Form 20-F
in 2017. We are in the process of integrating our internal control over financial reporting with CIHRUSs controls and procedures. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so effectively in the one-year post-acquisition
exemption period or at all.

Among others, we are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, which prohibits U.S.
companies and their intermediaries from bribing foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business or otherwise obtaining favorable treatment, and other laws concerning our international operations. Similar legislation in other
jurisdictions contains similar prohibitions, although varying in both scope and jurisdiction. We have implemented policies and procedures and internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that we, our employees, distributors and other
intermediaries comply with the anti-corruption laws to which we are subject. However, there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any policies, procedures and internal controls, including the possibility of human error and the
circumvention or overriding of the policies, procedures and internal controls. There can be no assurance that such policies or procedures or internal controls will work effectively at all times or protect us against liability under these or other
laws for actions taken by our employees, distributors and other intermediaries with respect to our business or any businesses that we may acquire.

Our success requires significant public confidence in our ability to handle large and growing
payment volumes and amounts of consumer funds, as well as comply with applicable regulatory requirements. Any failure to manage consumer funds or to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in the imposition of fines, harm our
reputation and significantly diminish use of our products. In addition, if we are not in compliance with anti-corruption laws and other laws governing the conduct of business with government entities and/or officials (including local laws), we may
be subject to criminal and civil penalties and other remedial measures, which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

If we cannot keep pace with rapid developments and change in our industry and provide new services to our clients, the use of our services could
decline, reducing our revenues.

The payment services industry in which we operate is characterized by rapid technological change,
new product and service introductions, evolving industry standards, changing customer needs and the entrance of more established market players seeking to expand into these businesses. In order to remain competitive, we continually seek to expand
the services we offer and to develop new projects. These projects carry risks, such as delays in delivery, performance problems and lack of customer acceptance. In our industry, these risks are acute. Any delay in the delivery of new services or the
failure to differentiate our services or to accurately predict and address market demand could render our services less desirable, or even obsolete, to consumers. In addition, if alternative payment mechanisms become widely available, substituting
our current products and services, and we do not develop and offer similar alternative payment mechanisms successfully and on a timely basis, our business and prospects could be adversely affected. Furthermore, we may be unable to recover the costs
we have incurred in developing new services. Our development efforts could result in increased costs and we could also experience a loss in business that could reduce our earnings or could cause a loss of revenue if promised new services are not
timely delivered to our clients, are not able to compete effectively with our competitors or do not perform as anticipated. In order to remain competitive in an innovative industry such as ours, we have to make investments in start-up
companies or undertake large research and development initiatives. If our investments in start-up companies or research and development initiatives do not yield the expected results, we may lose money, time and effort invested. If we are unable to
develop, adapt to or access technological changes or evolving industry standards on a timely and cost effective basis, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our success depends to a large degree on our ability to successfully address the rapidly evolving market for transactions on mobile devices.

Mobile devices are increasingly used for E-commerce transactions. A significant and growing portion of our customers access our
platform through mobile devices. We may lose customers if we are not able to continue to meet our customers mobile and multi-screen experience expectations. The variety of technical and other configurations across different mobile devices and
platforms increases the challenges associated with this environment. In addition, a number of other companies with significant resources and a number of innovative startups have introduced products and services focusing on mobile markets. Our
ability to successfully address the challenges posed by the rapidly evolving market for mobile transactions is crucial to our continued success, and any failure to continuously increase the volume of mobile transactions effected through our platform
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our systems and our third party
providers systems may fail due to factors beyond our control, which could interrupt our service, cause us to lose business and increase our costs.

We depend on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of numerous systems, including our computer systems, software and telecommunications
networks, as well as the data centers that we lease from third parties. Our systems and operations, or those of our third party providers, could be exposed to damage or interruption from, among other things, fire, flood, natural disaster, power
loss, telecommunications failure, vendor failure, unauthorized entry, improper operation and computer viruses. In addition, because both of our data centers used for processing payments are located in the city of Moscow, a catastrophic event
affecting the city of Moscow may result in the loss of both data centers. Substantial property and equipment loss, and disruption in operations as well as any defects in our systems or those of third parties or other difficulties could expose us to
liability and materially adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any outage or disruptive efforts could adversely impact our reputation, brand and future prospects.

Unauthorized disclosure of data, whether through cybersecurity breaches, computer viruses or otherwise, could expose us to direct loss, liability,
protracted and costly litigation and damage our reputation.

We store and/or transmit sensitive data, such as credit or debit card
numbers, mobile phone numbers and other identification data, and we have ultimate liability to our consumers for our failure to protect this data. We have experienced breaches of our security by hackers in the past, and breaches could occur in the
future. In such circumstances, our encryption of data and other protective measures have not prevented unauthorized access and may not be sufficient to prevent future unauthorized access. For example, in January 2014 we discovered unauthorized
activity in 687 of our accounts which were inappropriately credited, and the improperly credited funds were subsequently withdrawn. Although we do not believe that any confidential customer account data was compromised as a result of the activity,
we incurred a loss of RUB 88 million. Rapida LTD also experienced several security breaches prior to our acquisition of the company. Any future breach of our system, including through employee fraud, may subject us to material losses or liability,
including fines and claims for unauthorized purchases with misappropriated credit or debit card information, identity theft, impersonation or other similar fraud claims. A misuse of such data or a cybersecurity breach could harm our reputation and
deter clients from using electronic payments as well as kiosks and terminals generally and our services specifically, increase our operating expenses in order to correct the breaches or failures, expose us to uninsured liability, increase our risk
of regulatory scrutiny, subject us to lawsuits, result in the imposition of material penalties and fines by state authorities and otherwise materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to comply with the applicable requirements of our agreements with Visa Inc., Visa could seek to
fine us, suspend us or terminate our registrations.

Under our agreements with Visa, we are required to comply with both the terms
of those agreements and the terms of Visa Core Rules and Visa Product and Service Rules. If we do not comply with the terms of the agreements or the rules, Visa could seek to fine us, suspend us or terminate the registrations that allow us to
process transactions on its network. In addition, under our agreements with Visa, Visa is entitled to terminate the agreements in case of a material breach by us or if it determines the agreements are contrary to its interests. If we are in breach
of the agreements or Visa otherwise terminates its agreements with us, we may be unable to issue Visa-branded prepaid cards or continue to operate under the Visa Qiwi Wallet brand, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business. The termination of our registration, or any changes in the payment network rules that would impair our registration, could prevent us from issuing Visa-branded prepaid cards or operating under the Visa Qiwi Wallet brand,
thereby reducing the number of transactions made through Visa Qiwi Wallet. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, as well as on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The cost to us of consumers reloading their Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts may increase.

We make available to our consumers a large variety of methods to reload the Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts, including, among others, mobile phone
balances, bank cards, kiosks and terminals and ATMs. The top up methods have different cost implications for us. For example, on payments made through the kiosks and terminals owned by our agents, we historically paid lower fees for reloading the
Visa Qiwi Wallet than on payments made from bank cards as well as certain other channels. We currently do not attempt to direct consumer preferences towards particular reload methods. If their preferences are for other reload methods that come at a
higher cost to us, our margins could be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Qiwi Bank, Rapida LTD and other Russian banks and credit organizations operate in a highly regulated environment and increased regulator scrutiny could
have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In September 2010, we acquired Qiwi Bank
from certain of our shareholders. Qiwi Bank provides issuing, acquiring and deposit settlement functions within our group.

In June 2015
we acquired Rapida LTD from Otkritie Investment Cyprus Limited, or Otkritie. Rapida LTD is a non-banking credit organization and operates payment processing and money transfer settlements within the group.

All banks and non-banking credit organizations operating in Russia are subject to extensive regulation and supervision. Requirements imposed
by regulators, including capital adequacy, liquidity reserves, prudential ratios, loss provisions and other regulatory requirements are designed to ensure the integrity of the financial markets and to protect consumers and other third parties with
whom a bank deals. These regulations may limit our activities, and may increase our costs of doing business, or require us to seek additional capital in order to comply with applicable capital adequacy or liquidity requirements. Existing laws and
regulations could be amended, the manner in which laws and regulations are enforced or interpreted could change and new laws or regulations could be adopted.

In July 2013, the CBR completed an inspection of Qiwi Bank and discovered a number of deficiencies in its compliance with certain banking
regulations in relation to, among other things, the mechanics of its settlements with JSC QIWI as a payment agent, reporting requirements, credit risk assessment, prudential ratio calculation and reserve requirements and governance. The CBR also
noted that Qiwi Banks internal controls did not reflect the nature and scope of the banks activities. We have rectified these deficiencies but had to pay a fine of RUB 150,000.

In September 2014, the CBR discovered a number of violations of the Russian National Payment System Law at Qiwi Bank, including, among other
things, violations of some of the CBR reporting obligations and failure to comply with statutory thresholds for electronic money transfers. The CBR has issued an order to Qiwi Bank to rectify discovered violations, and Qiwi Bank has undertaken
measures to do so and implement the CBRs recommendations, including adoption of an internal action plan, which contains the step-by-step measures to ensure no such violations will occur in the future. As of the date of this annual report, we
have rectified these violations.

In April 2015 we have received order from the CBR prescribing QIWI Bank to comply with applicable
electronic payments thresholds requirements in connection with electronic money transfers and the topping up of electronic accounts. We requested certain clarifications from the CBR, for which we are awaiting a reply.

In May 2015 the CBR finished a scheduled inspection of Rapida LTD, as a result of which various legal breaches were uncovered and the CBR
imposed a range of restrictions on the operations of Rapida LTD for the period ending December 4, 2015. After the acquisition, we began implementing compliance and internal control procedures in Rapida LTD aimed to rectify the detected
violations and to prevent them in future. There can be no assurance that such measures will be successful. In September 2015 Rapida LTD was ordered by the CBR to reclassify claims towards one of its debtors into a lower quality category and to
create reserves to cover its exposure towards such debtor, which Rapida LTD has fully complied with. Later the CBR revealed legal violations by the Rapida LTD resulting from a technical glitch of its IT system. Further to the examination of these
incidents, the CBR imposed on Rapida LTD a fine in the amount of RUB 90 000, which has been paid. In December 2015 the CBR issued two further orders to Rapida LTD in connection with a number of violation, including breaches



16

##### Table of Contents

of the enhanced controls that the CBR has implemented to ensure compliance by the agents with legislation that requires them to remit their proceeds to special accounts (see We are
subject to extensive government regulation) and imposed a range of restrictions on the operations of Rapida LTD the compliance with which is at times problematic since it requires full compliance by Rapida LTD agents with the enhanced measures
adopted by the CBR, which is beyond control of Rapida LTD.

There can be no assurance that similar inspections in the future or increased
scrutiny by the CBR will not result in discovery of more significant violations of various banking regulations, or what sanctions the CBR would choose to employ against us if this were to happen. Any breach of applicable regulations could expose us
to potential liability, including in extreme instances the revocation of our banking license. Revocation of any of our banking licenses would significantly hinder our ability to process payments, and would result in a decrease of our profitability,
damage our reputation and could cause other regulators to increase their scrutiny of our activities. Furthermore, under our arrangements with Visa, Qiwi Bank represents, among other things, that it is in good standing and has been granted all
necessary authorizations from applicable governmental and regulatory authorities to operate a Visa card program. If any of Qiwi Banks licenses are revoked or it loses its authorization to operate a Visa card program, QIWI Bank will not be able
to sustain the same level of operation under Visa card program. As a result of such breach Visa could terminate its agreements with us. For these reasons, any breach of laws and regulations by Qiwi Bank or the revocation of its banking licenses
would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In recent years, the CBR has
considerably increased the intensity of its supervision and regulation of the Russian banking sector. Historically, the revocation of banking licenses by the CBR has been a relatively rare event mostly occurring to local banks with little assets and
little or no significance for the banking sector as a whole. Starting October 2013, however, the CBR has launched a campaign aimed at cleansing the Russian banking industry, revoking the licenses from an unusually high number of banks (including
significant banks such as Master-Bank, Investbank, ProBusinessBank, Svyaznoy Bank, Vneshprombank and others) on allegations of money laundering, financial statements manipulation and other illegal activities, as well as inability of certain banks to
discharge their financial obligations. These measures resulted in turmoil in the banking industry, instigated bank runs on a number of Russian credit institutions, and severely undermined the trust that the Russian population had with private banks.
In addition to putting increasing regulatory pressure on Qiwi Bank and Rapida LTD, this change in policy by the CBR has also impacted, and we expect may continue to impact, our business in a number of other ways, including reduced spending by the
banks on advertising and a decrease in consumer lending, resulting in less loan repayments through our network and therefore reduced fees. As a result of a general decrease in banking activity, among other factors, Russia may continue to experience
less robust consumer spending, which could also result in the reduction of our payment processing fees. In addition, these factors could further tighten liquidity on the Russian market and add pressure onto the ruble. All of these factors could
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Customer complaints or negative publicity about our
customer service could affect attractiveness of our services adversely and, as a result, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Customer complaints or negative publicity about our customer service could diminish consumer confidence in, and the attractiveness of, our
services. Breaches of our consumers privacy and our security systems could have the same effect. We sometimes take measures to combat risks of fraud and breaches of privacy and security, such as freezing consumer funds, which could damage
relations with our consumers. These measures heighten the need for prompt and attentive customer service to resolve irregularities and disputes. In addition we have previously received negative media coverage regarding customer disputes. Effective
customer service requires significant personnel expense, and this expense, if not managed properly, could impact our profitability significantly. Any inability by us to manage or train our customer service representatives properly could compromise
our ability to handle customer complaints effectively. If we do not handle customer complaints effectively, our reputation may suffer and we may lose our customers confidence, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

Our agreements with our agents and our merchants do not include exclusivity clauses and may be
terminated unilaterally at any time or at short notice.

We normally do not include exclusivity clauses in our agreements with
agents or merchants. Accordingly, our merchants and agents do not have any restrictions on dealings with other providers and can switch from our payment processing system to another without significant investment. Additionally, due to mandatory
provisions of Russian civil law, our agreements with agents may be unilaterally terminated by the agents at any time, and our agreements with merchants may be unilaterally terminated by the merchants upon one months prior notice. The
termination of our contracts with existing agents or merchants or a significant decline in the amount of business we do with them as a result of our contracts not having exclusivity clauses could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

Our payment system has been and may continue to be used for fraudulent, illegal or improper
purposes, which could expose us to additional liability and harm our business.

Despite measures we have taken and continue to
take, our payment system has been and may continue to be used for fraudulent, illegal or improper purposes. These include use of our payment services in connection with fraudulent sales of goods or services, illicit sales of prescription medications
or controlled substances, software and other intellectual property piracy, money laundering, bank fraud, terrorist financing, trafficking, and prohibited sales of restricted products.

Criminals are using increasingly sophisticated methods to engage in illegal activities. It is
possible that fraudulent, illegal or improper use of our payment system could increase in the future. Our risk management policies and procedures may not be fully effective to identify, monitor and manage these risks. We are not able to monitor in
each case the sources for our counterparties funds or the ways in which they use them. Increases in chargebacks or other liability could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. An increase
in fraudulent transactions or publicity regarding chargeback disputes could harm our reputation and reduce consumer confidence in the use of our kiosks and terminals and virtual wallets. In addition, changes in law have increased the penalties for
intermediaries providing payment services for certain illegal activities and additional payments-related proposals are under active consideration by government authorities. Moreover, the perceived risk of the use of e-payments to finance fraudulent,
illegal or improper activities is causing the regulators to impose restrictions on the payment systems operations that negatively affect regular compliant transactions as well.

Any resulting claims could damage our reputation and any resulting liabilities (including the revocation of applicable banking licenses or
significant fines), the loss of transaction volume or increased costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is exposed to counterparty and credit risks.

We seek to sell services on a prepayment basis or to ensure that our counterparties have low credit risk profiles, such as large merchants and
agents. Nevertheless, we are exposed to the risk of non-payment or other default under our contracts with our agents and merchants. If we provide trade credit or loans to an agent and we are unable to collect loans or proceeds paid to the agent by
its consumers due to the agents insolvency, fraud or otherwise, we must nonetheless complete the payment to the merchant on behalf of the consumer. As a result, our losses would not be limited to a loss of revenue in the form of fees due to us
from the agent, but could amount to the entire amount of consumer payments accepted by such agent for a certain period of time.

We also
have significant receivables due from some of our merchants and agents, and may not recover these receivables in the event of such merchants bankruptcy or otherwise. As of December 31, 2015, we had credit exposure to our agents of RUB
1,704 million and to our merchants of RUB2,894 million. Our receivables from merchants are generally unsecured and non-interest bearing, our receivables and loans from agents are generally interest-bearing and unsecured. Although we monitor the
creditworthiness of our counterparties on an ongoing basis, there can be no assurance that the models and approaches we use to assess and monitor their creditworthiness will be sufficiently predictive, and we may be unable to detect and take steps
to timely mitigate an increased credit risk. If we experience material defaults by our agents and/or merchants, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

We are subject to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

We are exposed to currency risks. Our financial statements are expressed in Russian rubles, while our revenues and expenses outside Russia are
in local currencies and some of our assets and liabilities are in foreign currencies (predominantly cash from offering proceeds denominated in U.S. dollars). Accordingly, our results of operations and assets and liabilities are exposed to
fluctuations in exchange rates between the ruble and such other currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates also affect the carrying value of assets on our consolidated statement of financial position, which, depending on the statement of
financial position classification of the relevant asset, can result in losses on our consolidated statement of financial position. In addition, because our earnings are primarily denominated in Russian rubles whereas our ADSs are quoted in U.S.
dollar, currency exchange rate fluctuations between the Russian ruble and the U.S. dollar significantly affect the price of our ADSs.

Over the past ten years, the Russian ruble has fluctuated dramatically against the U.S. dollar and the euro. Due to the economic
sanctions imposed on certain Russian companies and individuals by the US, EU, Canada and other countries, as well as the volatility in oil prices, high inflation and a sharp capital outflow from Russia, the Russian ruble has significantly
depreciated against the U.S. dollar and euro since the beginning of 2014. According to the CBR, from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015 and from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2014, the ruble has depreciated by 30%
and 72% against the U.S. dollar, respectively, and by 17% and 52% against the euro, respectively. Further fluctuations of the ruble could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and the price
of our ADSs.

Regulatory authorities in Russia and Kazakhstan could determine that we hold a dominant position in our markets, and could impose
limitations on our operational flexibility which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Russian anti-monopoly authorities impose various requirements on companies that occupy a dominant position in their markets. One of the
important questions is to identify and define the relevant market, in which the entity in question operates. There are numerous aspects to be taken into account, including interchangeability or substitutability of the products and/or services for
the consumer, their pricing and intended use. Different approaches may be applied in this respect by anti-monopoly authorities and the participants of the market. Thus, the state authorities may conclude that we hold a dominant position in one or
more of the markets in which we operate. If they were to do so, this could result in limitations on our future acquisitions and a requirement that we pre-clear with the authorities any changes to our standard agreements with merchants and agents, as
well as any specially negotiated agreements with business partners. In addition, if we were to decline to conclude a contract with a third party this could, in certain circumstances, be regarded as abuse of a dominant market position. Any abuse of a
dominant market position could lead to administrative penalties and the imposition of a fine of up to 15% of our annual revenue for the previous year. In addition, in April 2012 the Competition Protection Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan, or the
Competition Protection Agency, included our subsidiary in Kazakhstan in the state register of market participants with dominant or monopoly

position in Kazakhstan. Entities included in this register are prohibited from performing actions that may have a detrimental effect on competition, restrict access to the market or infringe the
rights of consumers, including predatory or discriminatory pricing, unjustified resale restrictions, imposing unreasonable terms, or refusing to supply or halting supplies for unjustified reasons. Status as a dominant market participant also puts an
entity under much more stringent scrutiny from the Competition Protection Agency, therefore increasing the probability of being investigated and penalized if a violation occurs. As a result, the Competition Protection Agency may impose restrictions
on our operations, or take other measures that may be inconsistent with our strategy. The maximum liability to which we can be exposed is a penalty equal to 10% of the revenue earned as a result of market abuse, plus confiscation of the full amount
of such revenue. The maximum liability is determined in reference to not more than one year of such revenues. In November 2012, our subsidiary in Kazakhstan became subject to an investigation conducted by the Competition Protection Agency concerning
alleged abuse of its dominant position in Kazakhstans electronic payments market. No fine has been levied as a result of the investigation, but the Competition Protection Agency ordered us to rectify certain violations of the anti-trust
legislation. We have complied with the orders and have taken actions to remedy these violations. However, we expect similar investigations by the Competition Protection Agency to recur in the future, and we cannot reliably estimate the amounts of
claims that can be brought against us in connection with these investigations. In March and May 2014, our subsidiary in Kazakhstan received various requests from anti-trust authorities for information related to its business in connection with the
analysis of the Kazakhstan market of payments through kiosks, which we complied with. There were no further anti-trust investigations or developments in 2015, however, as of the date of this annual report, it remains unclear what, if any, actions,
the Kazakh authorities may take in connection with this. These limitations may reduce our operational and commercial flexibility and responsiveness, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to successfully protect our intellectual property and may be subject to infringement claims.

We rely on a combination of contractual rights, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws to establish and protect our proprietary technology.
We also maintain patents for certain of our technologies. We customarily require our employees and independent contractors to execute confidentiality agreements or otherwise to agree to keep our proprietary information confidential when their
relationship with us begins. Typically, our employment contracts also include clauses requiring our employees to assign to us all of the inventions and intellectual property rights they develop in the course of their employment and to agree not to
disclose our confidential information. Nevertheless, others, including our competitors, may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our services or design around our intellectual property. Further, contractual arrangements may not
prevent unauthorized disclosure of our confidential information or ensure an adequate remedy in the event of any unauthorized disclosure of our confidential information. Because of the limited protection and enforcement of intellectual property
rights in certain jurisdictions in which we operate, such as Russia and Kazakhstan, as well as in certain jurisdictions in which we have started expanding our operations, such as Moldova, Romania and Belarus, our intellectual property rights may not
be as protected as they may be in more developed markets such as the United States. We may have to litigate to enforce or determine the scope or enforceability of our intellectual property rights (including trade secrets and know-how), which could
be expensive, could cause a diversion of resources and may not prove successful. The loss of intellectual property protection could harm our business and ability to compete and could result in costly redesign efforts, discontinuance of certain
service offerings or other competitive harm. Additionally, we do not hold any patents for our business model or our business processes, in part because our ability to obtain them in Russia is subject to legislative constraints, and we do not
currently intend to obtain any such patents in Russia or elsewhere.

We may also be subject to costly litigation in the event our services
or technology are claimed to infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate a third partys intellectual property or proprietary rights. Such claims could include patent infringement, copyright infringement, trademark infringement, trade secret
misappropriation or breach of licenses. In addition, while we seek to obtain copyright registration certificates for the critical software we develop, our rights to software obtained as works for hire might be potentially challenged by the employees
and former employees or developers of such software. We may not be able to successfully defend against such claims, which may result in a limitation on our ability to use the intellectual property subject to these claims and also might require us to
redesign affected services, enter into costly settlement or license agreements, pay costly damage awards, or face a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from marketing or selling certain of our services. In such circumstances, if we
cannot or do not license the infringed technology on reasonable terms or substitute similar technology from another source, our revenue and earnings could be adversely impacted. Additionally, in recent years, non-practicing entities have been
acquiring patents, making claims of patent infringement and attempting to extract settlements from companies in our industry. Even if we believe that such claims are without merit and successfully defend these claims, defending against such claims
is time consuming and expensive and could result in the diversion of the time and attention of our management and employees.

We may use open source
software in a manner that could be harmful to our business.

We use open source software in connection with our technology and
services. The original developers of the open source code provide no warranties on such code. Moreover, some open source software licenses require users who distribute open source software as part of their software to publicly disclose all or part
of the source code to such software and/or make available any derivative works of the open source code on unfavorable terms or at no cost. The use of such open source code may ultimately require us to replace certain code used in our products, pay a
royalty to use some open source code or discontinue certain products. Any of the above requirements could be harmful to our business, financial condition and operations.

We do not have and may be unable to obtain sufficient insurance to protect ourselves from business risks.

The insurance industry in Russia is not yet fully developed, and many forms of insurance protection common in more developed
countries are not yet fully available or are not available on comparable or commercially acceptable terms. Accordingly, while we hold certain mandatory types of insurance policies in Russia, we do not currently maintain insurance coverage for
business interruption, property damage or loss of key management personnel as we have been unable to obtain these on commercially acceptable terms. We do not hold insurance policies to cover for any losses resulting from counterparty and credit
risks or fraudulent transactions. We also do not generally maintain separate funds or otherwise set aside reserves for most types of business-related risks. Accordingly, our lack of insurance coverage or reserves with respect to business-related
risks may expose us to substantial losses, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In
a dynamic industry like ours, the ability to attract, recruit, retain and develop qualified personnel is critical to our success and growth.

Our business functions at the intersection of rapidly changing technological, social, economic and regulatory developments that require a wide
ranging set of expertise and intellectual capital. In order for us to compete and grow successfully, we must attract, recruit, retain and develop the necessary personnel who can provide the needed expertise across the entire spectrum of our
intellectual capital needs. This is particularly true with respect to qualified and experienced software engineers and IT staff, who are highly sought after and are not in sufficient supply in Russia and in most other markets in which we operate.
The market for such personnel is highly competitive, and we may not succeed in recruiting additional personnel or may fail to replace effectively current personnel who depart with qualified or effective successors. It may also be difficult for us to
obtain necessary qualified personnel with local experience to support our international growth, which may jeopardize our ongoing and planned expansion into new geographies. Our efforts to retain and develop personnel may result in significant
additional expenses, which could adversely affect our profitability. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future. Failure to retain or attract key personnel could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to Corporate Governance Matters and Organizational Structure

The substantial share ownership position of our chief executive officer Sergey Solonin may limit your ability to influence corporate matters.

Our chief executive officer Sergey Solonin, through Saldivar Investments Limited, beneficially owns 19.7 % of our class A
shares, representing approximately 59.4 % of the voting power of our issued share capital. As a result of this concentration of share ownership, Mr. Solonin has sole discretion over any matters submitted to our shareholders for approval
that require a simple majority vote and has significant voting power on all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval that require a qualified majority vote, including the power to veto them. Our articles of association require the approval
of no less than 75% of present and voting shareholders for matters such as amendments to the constitutional documents of our company, dissolution or liquidation of our company, reducing the share capital, buying back shares and approving the total
number of shares and classes of shares to be reserved for issuance under any employee stock option plan or any other equity-based incentive compensation program of our group. Matters requiring a simple majority shareholder vote include, among other
matters, increasing our authorized capital, removing a director, final dividend declaration, approving the annual audited accounts and appointing auditors.

This concentration of ownership could delay, deter or prevent a change of control or other business combination that might otherwise give you
the opportunity to realize a premium over then-prevailing market price of our shares. The interests of Mr. Solonin may not always coincide with the interests of our other shareholders. This concentration of ownership may also adversely affect
the price of our ADSs.

Our ADS holders have limited rights in relation to the appointment of our directors, including our independent directors.

Other than in certain limited cases provided for in our articles of association, our directors are elected by shareholder weighted
voting, sometimes referred to as cumulative voting, under which each shareholder has the right to cast as many votes as the voting rights attached to its shares multiplied by a number equal to the number of board seats to be filled by shareholders.
As a result, our class A shareholders will have the ability to appoint, through the weighted voting set forth in our articles of association, at least a majority of the board of directors for the foreseeable future. The interests of our directors
may therefore not be aligned with or be in the best interests of the holders of our ADSs.

The rights of our shareholders are governed by Cyprus law
and our articles of association, and differ in some important respects from the typical rights of shareholders under U.S. state laws.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our articles of association and by the laws governing companies incorporated in Cyprus. The rights of our
shareholders and the responsibilities of members of our board of directors under Cyprus law and our articles of association are different than under the laws of some U.S. state laws. For example, by law existing holders of shares in a Cypriot public
company are entitled to pre-emptive rights on the issue of new shares in that company (provided such shares are paid in cash and the pre-emption rights have not been disapplied). In addition, our articles of association include other provisions,
which differ from provisions typically included in the governing documents of most companies organized in the U.S.:



| |  |  | our board of directors can only take certain actions by means of a supermajority vote of 75% of its members, including approving our annual budget and business plan, disposing of our interest in a subsidiary if such
disposal results in a change of control over such subsidiary, issuing shares for consideration other than cash and other actions;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our shareholders are able to convene an extraordinary general meeting; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | if our board of directors exercises its right to appoint a director to fill a vacancy on the board created during the term of a directors appointment, shareholders holding 10.01% of the voting rights of the
company may terminate the appointment of all of the directors and initiate reelection of the entire board of directors.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a result of the differences described above, our shareholders may have rights different to
those generally available to shareholders of companies organized under U.S. state laws and our board of directors may find it more difficult to approve certain actions.

Acquisitions of Russian entities are subject to pre-closing approval by multiple government authorities which exercise significant discretion as to
whether a consent should be granted or not, and are regulated by a significant body of law which is often ambiguous and open to varying interpretations.

Due to our ownership of Qiwi Bank, any transactions resulting in the acquisition of more than 50% of our voting power or the right to otherwise
direct our business activities would become subject to preliminary approval by the CBR. In addition, any acquisition of more than 50% of our voting power may also be subject to a preliminary approval by the Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service, or
the FAS. Furthermore, Qiwi Bank and Rapida LTD hold encryption licenses which are necessary to conduct their operations, and by virtue of this may be deemed to be strategic enterprises for the purposes of the Federal Law of the Russian
Federation No. 57-FZ On the Procedure for Foreign Investments in Enterprises which are Strategically Important for the State Defense and National Security, dated April 29, 2008, as amended. In this case, any acquisition of
control over our company would require an approval of a specialized government commission, which is a relatively lengthy process that typically takes between three and six months in practice. See RegulationRegulation of Strategic
Investments. These regulatory approval requirements may have the effect of making a takeover of our company more difficult or less attractive, and may prevent or delay a change of control, which could have a negative impact on the liquidity
of, and investor interest in, our ADSs.

Additionally, under Russian law, the depositary may be treated as the owner of the class B shares
underlying the ADSs, and therefore, could be deemed a beneficial shareholder of Qiwi Bank and Rapida LTD. This is different from the way other jurisdictions treat ADSs. As a result, the depositary may be subject to the approval requirements of the
CBR, the FAS and the government commission described above in the event an amount of our shares representing over 50% of our voting power is deposited in the ADS program. Accordingly, our ADS program may be subject to an effective limit of 50% of
our voting power, unless the depositary obtains FAS, CBR and potentially additional government commission approvals to increase its ownership in excess of 50% of our voting power. This could limit our ability to raise capital in the future and the
ability of our existing shareholders to sell their ADSs in the public markets, which in turn may impact the liquidity of share capital.

The quota
imposed on foreign ownership of Russian banks may make a takeover of our company by a foreign purchaser impossible.

Under current
Russian law, the Russian government is entitled, upon consultation with the CBR, to propose legislation imposing a quota on foreign ownership in the Russian banking industry, covering both Russian branches of international banks and foreign
participation in the charter capital of Russian banks, such as Qiwi Bank. In December 2015, a 50% quota on foreign ownership was introduced, subject to certain exemptions. If such quota is exceeded, a takeover of our company by a foreign purchaser
may become impossible, which could limit, prevent or delay a change of control of our company and in turn could negatively impact the liquidity of our ADSs.

As a foreign private issuer whose ADSs are listed on Nasdaq, we have elected to follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of
certain Nasdaq requirements.

As a foreign private issuer whose ADSs are listed on Nasdaq, we are permitted in certain cases to,
and do, follow Cyprus corporate governance practices instead of the corresponding requirements of Nasdaq. A foreign private issuer that elects to follow a home country practice instead of Nasdaq requirements must submit to Nasdaq in advance a
written statement from an independent counsel in such issuers home country certifying that the issuers practices are not prohibited by the home countrys laws. In addition, a foreign private issuer must disclose in its annual
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission any significant requirement that it does not follow and describe the home country practice followed instead of any such requirement. We follow Cyprus corporate governance practices with
regard to the composition of our board of directors which, unlike the applicable Nasdaq rule for U.S. corporations, do not require that a majority of our directors be independent. As a result, although currently five out of nine directors on our
board are independent, we cannot assure you that our board of directors will always have a majority of independent directors in the future. We also do not have a compensation committee or a nominating committee comprised entirely of independent
directors, and our independent directors do not meet in regular executive sessions. In addition, our board of directors has not made any determination whether it will comply with certain Nasdaq rules concerning shareholder approval prior to our
taking certain company actions, including the issuance of 20% or more of our then-outstanding share capital or voting power in connection with an acquisition, and our board of directors, in such circumstances, may instead determine to follow Cypriot
law. Accordingly, our shareholders may not be afforded the same protection as provided under Nasdaq corporate governance rules.

Our ADS holders may
not have the same voting rights as the holders of our class A shares and class B shares and may not receive voting materials in time to be able to exercise their right to vote. Our ADS holders right to receive certain distributions may be
limited in certain respects by the deposit agreement.

Except as set forth in the deposit agreement, holders of our ADSs are not
able to exercise voting rights attaching to the class B shares represented by our ADSs on an individual basis. Holders of our ADSs have to appoint the depositary or its nominee as their representative to exercise the voting rights attaching to the
class B shares represented by the ADSs. Upon receipt of voting instructions from an ADS holder, the depositary will vote the underlying class B shares in accordance with these instructions. Pursuant to our articles of association,

##### Table of Contents

we may convene an annual shareholders meeting or a shareholders meeting called for approval of matters requiring a 75% shareholder vote upon at least 45 days notice and upon at
least 30 days notice for all other shareholders meetings. If we give timely notice to the depositary under the terms of the deposit agreement, the depositary will notify you of the upcoming vote and arrange to deliver our voting
materials to you. We cannot assure our ADS holders that they will receive the voting materials in time to instruct the depositary to vote the class B shares underlying their ADSs, and it is possible that our ADS holders, or persons who hold their
ADSs through brokers, dealers or other third parties, will not have the opportunity to exercise a right to vote. In addition, the depositary and its agents are not responsible for failing to carry out voting instructions or for the manner of
carrying out voting instructions. This means that our ADS holders may not be able to exercise their right to vote and there may be nothing such holders can do if the class B shares underlying your ADSs are not voted as requested. In addition,
although our ADS holders may directly exercise their right to vote by withdrawing the class B shares underlying their ADSs, they may not receive sufficient advance notice of an upcoming shareholders meeting to withdraw the class B shares
underlying their ADSs to allow them to vote with respect to any specific matter. Furthermore, under the deposit agreement, the depositary has the right to restrict distributions to holders of the ADSs in the event that it is unlawful or impractical
to make such distributions. We have no obligation to take any action to permit distributions to holders of our ADSs. As a result, holders of ADSs may not receive distributions made by us.

Risks Relating to the Russian Federation and Other Markets in Which We Operate

Emerging markets, such as Russia and Kazakhstan, are subject to greater risks than more developed markets, including significant legal, economic and
political risks.

Investors in emerging markets, such as Russia and Kazakhstan, should be aware that these markets are subject to
greater risk than more developed markets, including in some cases significant legal, economic and political risks. Investors should also note that emerging economies are subject to rapid change and that the information set out herein may become
outdated relatively quickly. Accordingly, investors should exercise particular care in evaluating the risks involved and must decide for themselves whether, in light of those risks, their investment is appropriate. Generally, investment in emerging
markets is only suitable for sophisticated investors who fully appreciate the significance of the risks involved, and investors are urged to consult with their own legal and financial advisors before making an investment in our ADSs.

The situation in Ukraine and the U.S., EU and other sanctions that have been imposed could adversely impact our operations and financial condition.

The Ukraine crisis, which started in late 2013 and remains unresolved, has brought Russian relations with the West to a post-Cold
War low point. Western countries protested when Crimea (which had been part of Ukraine since 1954) entered into the Russian Federation in March 2014 and have complained that Russia is fomenting civil insurrection in east Ukraine.

In response to the Ukraine crisis, the European Union and the United States (as well as other countries such as Norway, Canada and Australia)
have passed a variety of economic sanctions against Russia. One form these sanctions have taken is to identify certain persons as designated nationals with the basic practical consequences that U.S. persons cannot do business with them
while EU persons cannot provide funds or other economic resources to them, their assets in the EU and United States are subject to seizure and in the case of individuals they can be subject to travel bans. A number of Russian government officials,
businessmen, banks and companies have been so designated. Another form these sanctions have taken, with greater consequence for the Russian economy, is sectoral sanctions with the basic consequence that several of Russias leading
banks  including Gazprombank, Vnesheconombank, Bank of Moscow, Russian Agricultural Bank, VTB Bank, and Sberbank  cannot access Western capital (as EU and U.S. persons are prohibited from extending them debt financing in excess of 30
days or dealing in their new equity issuances and providing related services); similar sectoral sanctions have been applied against several prominent Russian oil and gas and defense companies. Other Western sanctions have been imposed in respect of,
among other things, Russian military defense entities, dual use technologies, sophisticated off-shore oil drilling technologies and doing business in Crimea. While the current sanctions do not target us or the payments industry more generally, these
sanctions have had and may continue to have the effect of damaging the Russian economy by, among other things, accelerating capital flight from Russia, weakening of the Russian ruble, exacerbating the negative investor sentiment towards Russia and
making it harder for Russian companies to access international financial markets for debt and equity financing. In addition, a number of Western businesses have curtailed or suspended activities in Russia or dealings with Russian counterparts for
reputational reasons even though currently neither such activities nor dealings with their relevant Russian counterparts were proscribed by the sanctions. An expansion of the existing or introduction of new sanctions, including those mentioned
above, or sanctions specifically targeting us or our management or shareholders, or our sector generally, could result in our international customers, suppliers, shareholders and other business partners revising their relationship with us for
compliance, political, reputational or other reasons, which could affect our business.

As a countermeasure to the Western sanctions,
Russia imposed its own sanctions on the import of certain foodstuffs from the EU, the United States and other countries. Although these sanctions do not currently directly affect our business, additional sanctions or other countermeasures imposed by
Russia against the U.S. or the E.U. may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects or the price of our ADSs.

In addition, following the accession of Crimea to Russia, which is seen by the EU as illegal annexation of Crimea, we started operating in
that region with a limited number of kiosks. On December 19, 2014, U.S. President Obama signed a new executive order imposing comprehensive sanctions on the Crimea region. Almost all transactions involving a U.S. person or that are subject
to U.S. jurisdiction and that directly or indirectly involve an individual or entity in Crimea are prohibited, with the exception of certain transactions involving certain agricultural commodities, medicine and medical devices. The executive
order also permits the designation of persons that operate in Crimea,



22



---

##### Table of Contents

leaders of entities operating in Crimea, entities that are owned or controlled by a person that is designated by OFAC, or persons that provide material assistance or financial, material, or
technological support to a person that is designated by OFAC. The EU has similarly introduced a broad set of sanctions through the Council Regulation (EU) 692/2014 as amended by Regulation (EU) 1351/2014, including: an investment ban prohibiting to
acquire new or extend any existing participation or ownership of real estate located in Crimea or Sevastopol, acquire new or extend any existing participation or ownership or control of an entity in Crimea or Sevastopol, provide financing to an
entity in Crimea or Sevastopol, create any joint venture in Crimea or Sevastopol or with an entity in Crimea or Sevastopol or provide investment services directly related to the above activities; an embargo on certain listed goods and technology
that are suited for the key sectors of transport, telecommunications, energy and mining; and an import ban on goods originating from Crimea and Sevastopol and on financial assistance as well as insurance and reinsurance related to such import.

To date, we do not believe that any of the current sanctions as in force limit our ability to operate in Crimea. Nevertheless, any new or
expanded sanctions that may be imposed on Russian businesses operating in Crimea by the U.S., EU, or other countries may materially adversely affect us and any future plans we may have to expand in that region.

In the ordinary course of our business, we may accept payments from consumers to or otherwise indirectly interact with certain entities that
are the targets of U.S. sanctions. We operate primarily within the Russian financial system and, accordingly, many of our customers have accounts at banks in Russia. A number of Russian banks, including Bank Rossiya, SMP Bank, Investcapitalbank
and Sobinbank have been designated by OFAC and are subject to U.S. economic sanctions. In addition, Tempbank was designated due to its dealings with the Syrian government. U.S. sanctions may be extended to any person that U.S. authorities
determine has materially assisted, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of, any sanctioned individuals or entities. For example, we may be associated with U.S.-designated banks due to
us accepting payments for them from consumers in the ordinary course of our business, even though we may not have any direct contract relationships with them. There can be no assurance that the U.S. Government would not view such activities as
meeting the criteria for U.S. economic sanctions.

In addition, because of the nature of our business, we do not generally identify our
customers where there is no express requirement to do so under Russian anti-money laundering legislation. Therefore, we are not always able to screen them against the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List published by OFAC and
other sanctions lists.

While we believe that our indirect interaction with Russian banks and potential interaction with designated
individuals that may be subject to U.S. or EU economic and financial sanctions does not contravene any law, our business and reputation could be adversely affected if the U.S. government were to designate us as a blocked party and extend such
sanctions to us. The executive orders authorizing the U.S. sanctions provide that persons may be designated if, inter alia, they materially assist, or provide financial, material, or technological support for goods or services to or in support of,
blocked or designated parties. EU financial sanctions prohibit the direct and indirect making available of funds or economic resources to or for the benefit of sanctioned parties. Investors may also be adversely affected if we are so designated,
resulting in their investment in our securities being prohibited or restricted. Furthermore, under those circumstances, some U.S. or EU investors may decide for legal or reputational reasons to divest their holdings in us or not to purchase our
securities in the first place. We are aware of initiatives by U.S. governmental entities and U.S. institutional investors, such as pension funds, to adopt or consider adopting laws, regulations, or policies prohibiting transactions with or
investment in, or requiring divestment from, entities doing business with certain countries. There can be no assurance that the foregoing will not occur or that such occurrence will not have a material adverse effect on our share price. Even if we
are not subjected to U.S. or other economic sanctions, our participation in the Russian financial system and indirect interaction with sanctioned banks and potential interaction with designated individuals may adversely impact our reputation among
investors. There is also a risk that other entities with which we engage in business, or individuals or entities associated with them, are, or at any time in the future may become, subject to sanctions.

The crisis in Ukraine is ongoing and could escalate. Were full-fledged hostilities to break out between Ukraine and Russia, they would likely
cause significant economic disruption and calls from the Western countries for a comprehensive sanction regime that would seek to further isolate Russia from the world economy. Even the current level of ongoing civil insurrection in eastern Ukraine,
if no resolution is forthcoming, may well lead to further strengthening and broadening of Ukraine-related sanctions. For example, there have been proposals to cut off Russia from the international SWIFT payment system, which would disrupt ordinary
financial services in Russia and any cross-border trade. The potential repercussions surrounding the situation in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine are unknown and no assurance can be given regarding the future of relations between Russia and other
countries. Overall, the situation in Ukraine and Crimea remains uncertain and we cannot predict how the Ukrainian crisis will unfold or the impact it will have on our business or results of operations. Any or all of the above factors could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Russian military support for the Syrian
government could also contribute to a further deterioration in relations with Western governments, and result in the imposition of sanctions, which could materially adversely affect the value of investments in Russia, including our ADSs, as well as
our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Another recent point of tension between Russia and U.S.
and E.U. governments has been the Russian role in the Syrian crisis and its steadfast support for the government of Syria headed by President Bashar al-Assad. In September 2015, direct Russian military support for the Syrian government
increased, with Russian military jets carrying out bombing missions on various anti-government rebel forces. According to press reports, Russian planes have carried out such missions not only against Islamic State rebel forces (which are also
under attack by U.S.-led forces) but also against the rebel forces generally supported by Western countries. Western governments have generally called for the



23

##### Table of Contents

immediate departure of President Assad, a position that Russia rejects. Concern has been expressed that these uncoordinated military missions of Russia, the United States and other forces in
Syria could lead to confrontation. Russian military spokesmen have also recently stated that Russian volunteers might become involved in combat on the ground in Syria, further escalating the role of Russia in the conflict and heightening
tensions. U.S. and EU officials have stated that they do not view increased Russian military support of the Syrian government as helpful in resolving the ongoing Syrian civil conflict.

The U.S., the E.U. and a number of other states have imposed economic sanctions against various Syrian government officials and other Syrian
nationals in light of the current civil conflict in Syria. A greater Russian role in the Syrian conflict might lead to further sanctions against Russia, including economic sanctions, and may be an additional factor in an overall deterioration
in relations between Russia and the West. Accordingly, the Syrian crisis, for which no resolution appears imminent, and Russias apparent expanding role in supporting the Syrian government, could lead to international sanctions or other
countermeasures by Western countries again Russia, and ultimately have a material adverse effect on Qiwis business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Know-your-client requirements established by Russian anti-money laundering legislation may adversely impact our transaction volumes.

Our business is currently subject to know-your-client requirements established by Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 115-FZ
On Combating the Legalization (Laundering) of Criminally Obtained Income and Funding of Terrorism, dated August 7, 2001, as amended, or the Anti-Money Laundering Law. Based on the Anti-Money Laundering Law we distinguish three types
of consumers based on their level of identification, being anonymous, identified through a simplified procedure and fully identified. The consumers who have not undergone any identification procedure are qualified as anonymous and are not allowed to
contemplate transactions in excess of RUB15,000 as well as hold an electronic money account balance in excess of RUB15,000. The consumers who have undergone simplified identification procedure with the payment services provider are entitled to
perform electronic money transactions in excess of RUB15,000 provided that at any point of time the account balance of electronic money does not exceed RUB60,000 and the total amount of transactions does not exceed RUB200,000 per month. Fully
identified consumers are entitled to perform same type of electronic transfers as consumers identified through a simplified procedure but with increased threshold of the electronic money account balance of RUB600,000 and no limitations for the total
transaction amount per month. The key difference between the simplified and the full identification procedures is that the simplified identification can be performed remotely. The remote identification requires the verification of certain data
provided by consumers against public databases. Albeit a government order No.630 dated 8 July 2014 was enacted providing that public databases shall be set up by specific government authorities and access to them shall be granted to the third
parties authorized to carry out identification of consumers, such databases are not yet up and running at scale and, to our knowledge, there is no work in progress on setting up such databases. Thus, current situation could cause us to be in
violation of the identification requirements. In case we are enforced not to use the simplified identification procedure until the databases are fully running, it could negatively affect the number of our consumers and, consequently, our volumes and
revenues.

Political and governmental instability could adversely affect the value of investments in Russia.

Political conditions in the Russian Federation were highly volatile in the 1990s, as evidenced by the frequent conflicts amongst executive,
legislative and judicial authorities, which negatively impacted the business and investment climate in the Russian Federation. Over the past two decades the course of political and other reforms has in some respects been uneven and the composition
of the Russian Government has at times been unstable. The Russian political system continues to be vulnerable to popular dissatisfaction, including dissatisfaction with the results of the privatizations of the 1990s, as well as to demands for
autonomy from certain religious, ethnic and regional groups.

Over the last 15 years, the Russian political system and the relationship
between the President, the Russian Government and the Russian Parliament were generally stable. There have been, however, public protests in Moscow and other urban areas following elections for the State Duma in December 2011 alleging that the
elections were subject to substantial electoral fraud. The Prime Minister at that time, Mr. Vladimir Putin has rejected calls by opposition leaders that the elections for the State Duma be annulled and re-run, but has instituted limited
political reforms. Similar protests took place following the presidential elections in March 2012 which resulted in re-election of Mr. Vladimir Putin.

Future changes in the Russian Government, the State Duma or the presidency, major policy shifts or eventual lack of consensus between the
president, the Russian Government, Russias parliament and powerful economic groups could lead to political instability. Additionally, the potential for political instability resulting from the worsening of the economic situation in Russia and
deteriorating standards of living should not be underestimated. Any such instability could negatively affect the economic and political environment in Russia, particularly in the short term. Shifts in governmental policy and regulation in the
Russian Federation are less predictable than in many Western democracies and could disrupt or reverse political, economic and regulatory reforms. Any significant change in the Russian Governments program of reform in Russia could lead to the
deterioration of Russias investment climate that might limit our ability to obtain financing in the international capital markets or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The implementation of government policies in Russia targeted at specific individuals or companies could
harm our business as well as investments in Russia more generally.

The use of governmental power against particular companies or
persons, for example, through the tax, environmental or prosecutorial authorities, could adversely affect the Russian economic climate and, if directed against us, our senior management or our major shareholders, could materially adversely affect
our business, financial condition and results of operations. Russian authorities have recently challenged some Russian companies and prosecuted their executive officers and shareholders on the grounds of tax evasion and related charges. In some
cases, the results of such prosecutions and challenges have been significant claims against companies for unpaid taxes and the imposition of prison sentences on individuals. There has been speculation that in certain cases these challenges and
prosecutions were intended to punish, and deter, opposition to the government or the pursuit of disfavored political or economic agendas. There has also been speculation that certain environmental challenges brought recently by Russian authorities
in the oil and gas as well as mining sectors have been targeted at specific Russian businesses under non-Russian control, with a view to bringing them under state control. More generally, some observers have noted that takeovers in recent years of
major private sector companies in the oil and gas, metals and manufacturing sectors by state-controlled companies following tax, environmental and other challenges may reflect a shift in official policy in favor of state control at the expense of
individual or private ownership, at least where large and important enterprises are concerned.

Political and other conflicts create an uncertain
operating environment that hinders our long-term planning ability and could adversely affect the value of our investments in Russia.

Russia is a federation of 85 sub-federal political units, consisting of republics, territories, regions, cities of federal importance and
autonomous regions and districts. The delineation of authority and jurisdiction among the members of the federation and the federal government is, in many instances, unclear and remains contested. Lack of consensus between the federal government and
local or regional authorities often results in the enactment of conflicting legislation at various levels and may lead to further political instability. In particular, in the past, conflicting laws have been enacted in the areas of privatization,
securities, corporate legislation, regulation of land use and licensing. Some of these laws and governmental and administrative decisions implementing them, as well as certain transactions consummated pursuant to them, have in the past been
challenged in the courts in Russia and such challenges may occur in the future.

Ethnic, religious, historical and other divisions have on
occasion given rise to tensions and, in certain cases, military conflict and terrorist attacks in certain regions of Russia. For example, a military conflict in August 2008 between Russia and Georgia involving South Ossetia and Abkhazia, as well as
the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, resulted in significant overall price declines in the Russian stock exchanges and capital outflow from Russia. Such tensions, military conflict or terrorist activities could have significant political
consequences, including the imposition of a state of emergency in some or all of Russia or heightened security measures, which could cause disruption to domestic commerce and exports from Russia, disrupt normal economic activity in Russia and
materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Deterioration of Russias relations with other
countries could negatively affect the Russian economy and those of the nearby regions.

Over the past several years, Russia has
been involved in conflicts, both economic and military, involving other members of the CIS. On several occasions, this has resulted in the deterioration of Russias relations with other members of the international community, including the
United States and various countries in Europe. Many of these jurisdictions are home to financial institutions and corporations that are significant investors in Russia and whose investment strategies and decisions may be affected by such conflicts
and by worsening relations between Russia and its immediate neighbors.

For example, relations between Ukraine and Russia, as well as
Georgia and Russia, have recently been strained over a variety of issues. On March 21, 2014, President Putin signed legislation to recognize Crimeas accession to, and status as part of, Russia. Since then, there has been continuing
tensions between Russia and Ukraine, which were aggravated by the military conflict in Eastern Ukraine. The events in Ukraine and Crimea have prompted condemnation by members of the international community and have been strongly opposed by the EU
and the United States, with a resulting material negative impact on the relationships between the EU, the United States and Russia. See  The situation in Ukraine and the U.S., EU and other sanctions that have been imposed could adversely
impact our operations and financial condition. The emergence of new or escalated tensions between Russia and other CIS countries or other countries could negatively affect the Russian economy. This, in turn, may result in a general lack of
confidence among international investors in the regions economic and political stability and in Russian investments generally. Such lack of confidence may result in reduced liquidity, trading volatility and significant declines in the price of
listed securities of companies with significant operations in Russia, including our ADSs, and in our inability to raise debt or equity capital in the international capital markets, which may affect our ability to achieve the level of growth to which
we aspire.

Crime and corruption could create a difficult business climate in Russia.

The political and economic changes in Russia since the early 1990s have led, amongst other things, to reduced policing of society and increased
lawlessness. In September 2006, the Deputy Chairman of the CBR was assassinated in what was allegedly a contract killing tied to his enforcement actions against corrupt Russian banking organizations. Organized crime, particularly property crimes in
large metropolitan centers, has reportedly increased significantly since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. In addition, the Russian and international media have reported high levels of corruption in Russia. Press reports have also described
instances in which government officials have engaged in selective investigations and prosecutions to further the interest of the government and individual officials or business groups. Although we adhere to a business ethics policy and internal
compliance procedures to counteract the effects of crime and corruption, instances of illegal activities, demands of corrupt officials, allegations that we or our management have been involved in corruption or illegal activities or biased articles
and negative publicity could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Russian economy has fallen into recession in 2015, is suffering from renewed ruble depreciation,
inflation and capital flight, and depends highly on the global pricing of crude oil, which has fallen significantly.

Russian real
GDP growth (period-on-period) slowed to 0.6% in 2014 and contracted by 3.7% in 2015, putting Russia in recession. 2015 was the worst year for the Russian economy since 2009, when Russian GDP fell 7.8%, according to Rosstat. Given the importance of
the energy sector to the Russian economy, a principal reason for this downturn has been the decline of global oil prices. The price of the global benchmark Brent crude has fallen from U.S.$55/bbl on December 31, 2014 to U.S. $37.28/bbl on
December 31, 2015, and is widely predicted not to significantly recover for some time to come. The international sanctions arising from the Ukraine crisis have also undercut confidence in the Russian economy and added to the cost of capital.
The lack of confidence in the Russian economy led to a run on the ruble in late 2014 and further weakening in 2015: the average ruble/U.S. dollar exchange rate was RUB36.18/$1 for the third quarter of 2014, RUB46.96/$1 for the fourth quarter of
2014, RUB62.16/$1 for the first quarter of 2015, RUB52.63/$1 for the second quarter of 2015, RUB62.85/$1 for the third quarter of 2015 and RUB65.86/$1 for the fourth quarter of 2015, according to the CBR. This has been accompanied by rising
inflation and a declining trend in real average wages. According to Rosstat, inflation was 11.4% in 2014 and 12.9% in 2015, while real average wages have been declining (with Rosstats preliminary data for 2015 indicating that the
populations real disposable income contracted by 4% in 2015 as compared to 2014). Against this backdrop, household consumption decreased by 10.1% in 2015, according to the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public
Administration. Another indicator of lack of confidence in the Russian economy is capital flight, which was U.S.$56.9 billion in 2015, U.S.$153.0 billion in 2014 and U.S.$63.0 billion in 2013. There are concerns that the Russian government may seek
to increase the tax burden of Russian companies or become stricter in its enforcement of existing tax legislation in the light of the shrinking state income due to decline in oil prices. The weakening of the Russian economy and the deterioration of
Government finances (which rely significantly on taxes on oil revenues) has also led to international rating agencies to lower the Russian Federation credit ratings. Credit ratings for a number of Russian companies and banks have been lowered in the
past months, another factor contributing to an increased cost of capital in the Russian economy.

The ongoing deterioration of the Russian
economy could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Economic instability in
Russia could have an adverse effect on our business.

The Russian economy has been adversely affected by the recent global
financial and economic crisis. A continuation of the economic crisis could have a negative effect on the scale and profitability of our business. Any of the following risks, which the Russian economy has experienced at various points in the past,
may have or have already had a significant adverse effect on the economic climate in Russia and may burden or have already burdened our operations:



| |  |  | significant declines in gross domestic product, or GDP;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | high levels of inflation;

| |  |  | prevalent practice of tax evasion; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | growth of the black-market economy.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------

In the past few years, the Russian economy has been
characterized by significant volatility in the debt and equity markets (which experienced significant declines in the second half of 2008), causing market regulators to temporarily suspend trading multiple times on the principal Russian securities
exchanges, MICEX and the Russian Trading System (which subsequently merged in 2011, creating the Moscow Exchange). The Russian economy has also been characterized by significant reductions in foreign investment and sharp decreases in GDP.

As Russia produces and exports large quantities of crude oil, natural gas, petroleum products and
other commodities, the Russian economy is particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in oil and gas prices as well as other commodities prices, which historically have been subject to significant volatility over time, as illustrated by the recent
decline in crude oil prices. Russian banks, and the Russian economy generally, were adversely affected by the global financial crisis. The Russian economy has fallen into a recession in 2015. There can be no assurance that any measures adopted by
the Russian government to mitigate the effect of any financial and economic crisis will result in a sustainable recovery of the Russian economy. Current macroeconomic challenges, low or negative economic growth in the United States, China, Japan
and/or Europe and market volatility may provoke or prolong any economic crisis.

As an emerging economy, Russia remains particularly
vulnerable to further external shocks. Events occurring in one geographic or financial market sometimes result in an entire region or class of investments being disfavored by international investors - so-called contagion effects. Russia
has been adversely affected by contagion effects in the past, and it is possible that it will be similarly affected in the future by negative economic or financial developments in other countries. Economic volatility, or a future economic crisis,
may undermine the confidence of investors in the Russian markets and the ability of Russian businesses to raise capital in international markets, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the Russian economy and the Groups results
of operations, financial condition and prospects. In addition, any further declines in oil and gas prices or other commodities pricing could disrupt the Russian economy and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects.

The banking system in Russia remains underdeveloped.

The banking and other financial systems in Russia are not well-developed or regulated, and Russian legislation relating to banks and bank
accounts is subject to varying interpretation and inconsistent application. The 1998 financial crisis resulted in the bankruptcy and liquidation of many Russian banks and almost entirely eliminated the developing market for commercial bank loans at
that time. From April to July 2004, the Russian banking sector experienced further serious turmoil. As a result of various market rumors and certain regulatory and liquidity problems, several privately owned Russian banks experienced liquidity
problems and were unable to attract funds on the inter-bank market or from their client base. Simultaneously, they faced large withdrawals of deposits by both retail and corporate customers. Several of these privately owned Russian banks collapsed
or ceased or severely limited their operations. Russian banks owned or controlled by the government and foreign owned banks generally were not adversely affected by the turmoil.

There are currently a limited number of creditworthy Russian banks (most of which are headquartered in Moscow). Although the CBR has the
mandate and authority to suspend banking licenses of insolvent banks, many insolvent banks still operate. Many Russian banks also do not meet international banking standards, and the transparency of the Russian banking sector in some respects still
lags behind internationally accepted norms. Banking supervision is also often inadequate, as a result of which many banks do not follow existing CBR regulations with respect to lending criteria, credit quality, loan loss reserves, diversification of
exposure or other requirements. The imposition of more stringent regulations or interpretations could lead to weakened capital adequacy and the insolvency of some banks. Prior to the onset of the 2008 global economic crisis, there had been a rapid
increase in lending by Russian banks, which many believe had been accompanied by a deterioration in the credit quality of the loan portfolio of those banks. In addition, a robust domestic corporate debt market was leading Russian banks to hold
increasingly large amounts of Russian corporate ruble bonds in their portfolios, which further deteriorated the risk profile of the assets of Russian banks. The global financial crisis of 2007-2008 has led to the collapse or bailout of some Russian
banks and to significant liquidity constraints for others. Profitability levels of most Russian banks have been adversely affected. Indeed, the global crisis has prompted the government to inject substantial funds into the banking system amid
reports of difficulties among Russian banks and other financial institutions.

In recent years, the CBR has considerably increased the
intensity of its supervision and regulation of the Russian banking sector. Historically, the revocation of banking licenses by the CBR has been a relatively rare event mostly occurring to local banks with little assets and little or no significance
for the banking sector as a whole. Starting October 2013, however, the CBR has launched a campaign aimed at cleansing the Russian banking industry, revoking the licenses from an unusually high number of banks (including significant banks such as
Master-Bank, Investbank, ProBusinessBank, Svyaznoy Bank, Vneshprombank and others) on allegations of money laundering, financial statements manipulation and other illegal activities, as well as inability of certain banks to discharge their financial
obligations, which resulted in turmoil in the industry, instigated bank runs on a number of Russian credit institutions, and severely undermined the trust that the Russian population had with private banks. It could be expected that the difficulties
currently faced by the Russian economy could result in further collapses of Russian banks, particularly those heavily exposed to the retail lending sector, as non-performing consumer loans have increased significantly and demand has shrunk due to
more cautious consumer spending. According to the CBR, the level of past-due debt in the Russian banking sector has increased from 3.5% as of January 1, 2014 to 5.2% as of August 1, 2015. The CBRs December 2014 RUB 127 billion
bail-out of Trust Bank, Russias 22nd largest bank by assets, may be symptomatic of weaknesses in the Russian banking sector. With few exceptions (notably the state-owned banks), the Russian banking system suffers from weak depositor
confidence, high concentration of exposure to certain borrowers and their affiliates, poor credit quality of borrowers and related party transactions. Current economic circumstances in Russia are putting stress on the Russian banking system.
Combined with heightened interest rates  with the key interest rate of the CBR currently at 11% per annum (and rising as high as 17% over the course of 2014-2015)  these circumstances decrease the affordability of consumer credit,
putting further pressure on overall consumer purchasing power.

Our business is significantly affected by development in the Russian
banking sector. First, we periodically hold funds in a number of Russian banks and rely on guarantees given by those banks to enhance our liquidity. Increased uncertainty in the Russian banking sector exposes us to additional counterparty risk and
affects our liquidity. In addition, a significant portion of our revenue is derived from consumer payments in the banking industry in our Financial Services market vertical. As a result, the bankruptcy or insolvency of one or more of these



27

##### Table of Contents

banks could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The continuation or worsening of the banking crisis could decrease our transaction volumes, while the
bankruptcy or insolvency of any of the banks which hold our funds could prevent us from accessing our funds for several days. All of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Social instability could lead to labor and social unrest, increased support for renewed centralized authority, nationalism or violence.

Failures to adequately address social problems have led in the past, and could lead in the future, to labor and social unrest.
Labor and social unrest could have political, social and economic consequences, such as increased support for a renewal of centralized authority; increased nationalism, with support for re-nationalization of property, or expropriation of or
restrictions on foreign involvement in the economy of Russia; and increased violence. Any of these could have an adverse effect on confidence in Russias social environment and the value of investments in Russia, could restrict our operations
and lead to a loss of revenue, and could otherwise have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Russia has experienced high levels of inflation in the past.

As a substantial portion of our expenses (including operating costs and capital expenditures) are denominated in rubles, the relative movement
of inflation and exchange rates significantly affects our results of operations. The effects of inflation could cause some of our costs to rise. Russia has experienced high levels of inflation since the early 1990s. For example, inflation increased
dramatically after the 1998 financial crisis, reaching a rate of 84.4% in that year. According to Rosstat, inflation in the Russian Federation was 6.5% in 2013, 11.4% in 2014 and 12.9% in 2015. Higher levels of inflation are expected in the future
as Russian economy enters a difficult period. Certain of our costs, such as salaries and rent, are affected by inflation in Russia. To the extent the inflation causes these costs to increase, such inflation may materially adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

The immaturity of legal systems, processes and practices in the Russian Federation may
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks associated with the legal systems of the
Russian Federation include, to varying degrees, inconsistencies between and among laws, presidential decrees, edicts and governmental and ministerial orders and resolutions; conflicting local, regional, and federal rules and regulations; the lack of
judicial or administrative guidance regarding the interpretation of the applicable rules; the untested nature of the independence of the judiciary and its immunity from political, social and commercial influences; the relative inexperience of
jurists, judges and courts in interpreting recently enacted legislation and complex commercial arrangements; a high degree of unchecked discretion on the part of governmental authorities; alleged corruption within the judiciary and governmental
authorities; substantial gaps in the regulatory structure due to delays in or absence of implementing regulations; bankruptcy procedures that are not well-developed and are subject to abuse; and a lack of binding judicial precedent. All of these
weaknesses affect our ability to protect and enforce our legal rights, including rights under contracts, and to defend against claims by others. In addition, the recent merger of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation, which used to
oversee business disputes, into the Supreme Court, which used to only handle criminal cases and civil lawsuits, is viewed by some as having further aggravated these issues.

The Russian judicial system is not immune from economic and political influences. The Russian court system is understaffed and underfunded,
and the quality of justice, duration of legal proceedings, and performance of courts and enforcement of judgments remain problematic. Under Russian legislation, judicial precedents generally have no binding effect on subsequent decisions and are not
recognized as a source of law. However, in practice, courts usually consider judicial precedents in their decisions. Enforcement of court judgments can in practice be very difficult and time-consuming in Russia. Additionally, court claims are
sometimes used in furtherance of political and commercial aims. All of these factors can make judicial decisions in Russia difficult to predict and make effective redress problematic in certain instances.

The relatively recent enactment of many laws, the lack of consensus about the scope, content and pace of political and economic reform and the
rapid evolution of legal systems in ways that may not always coincide with market developments have resulted in legal ambiguities, inconsistencies and anomalies and, in certain cases, the enactment of laws without a clear constitutional or
legislative basis. Legal and bureaucratic obstacles and corruption exist to varying degrees in each of the regions in which we operate, and these factors are likely to hinder our further development. These characteristics give rise to investment
risks that do not exist in countries with more developed legal systems. The developing nature of the legal systems in Russia could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Unlawful, selective or arbitrary government action may have an adverse effect on our business.

Governmental authorities have a high degree of discretion in Russia and at times appear to act selectively or arbitrarily, without hearing or
prior notice, and in a manner that is contrary to law or influenced by political or commercial considerations. Moreover, the Russian Government also has the power in certain circumstances, by regulation or government act, to interfere with the
performance of, nullify or terminate contracts. Unlawful, selective or arbitrary governmental actions have reportedly included denial or withdrawal of licenses, sudden and unexpected tax audits, criminal prosecutions and civil actions. Federal and
local government entities also appear to have used common defects in matters surrounding share issuances and registration as pretexts for court claims and other demands to invalidate the issuances or registrations or to void transactions, seemingly
for political purposes. Moreover, selective, public criticism by Russian Government officials of



28



---

##### Table of Contents

Russian companies has in the past caused the price of publicly traded securities in such Russian companies to sharply decline, and there is no assurance that any such public criticism by Russian
Government officials in the future will not have the same negative affect. Standard & Poors has expressed concerns that Russian companies and their investors can be subjected to government pressure through selective
implementation of regulations and legislation that is either politically motivated or triggered by competing business groups. In this environment, our competitors could receive preferential treatment from the government, potentially giving
them a competitive advantage. Unlawful, selective or arbitrary governmental action, if directed at our operations in Russia, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Russian companies can be forced into liquidation on the basis of formal non-compliance with certain requirements of Russian law.

Certain provisions of Russian law may allow a court to order the liquidation of a Russian legal entity on the basis of its formal
non-compliance with certain requirements during formation, reorganization or during its operation. There have been cases in the past in which formal deficiencies in the establishment process of a Russian legal entity or non-compliance with
provisions of Russian law have been used by Russian courts as a basis for the liquidation of a legal entity. Weaknesses in the Russian legal system create an uncertain legal environment, which makes the decisions of a Russian court or a governmental
authority difficult, if not impossible, to predict. If any of our operating subsidiaries incorporated in Russia were subject to involuntary liquidation, such liquidation could lead to significant negative consequences for our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

For example, under Russian corporate law, negative net assets calculated on the basis of the Russian
accounting standards as of the end of the year following the second or any subsequent year of a companys existence can serve as a basis for creditors to accelerate their claims and to demand payment of damages, as well as for a court to order
the liquidation of the company upon a claim by governmental authorities. Many Russian companies have negative net assets due to very low historical value of property, plant and equipment reflected on their Russian accounting standards balance
sheets. However, their solvency (defined as their ability to pay debts as they come due) is not otherwise adversely affected by such negative net assets. There are cases when courts have ordered mandatory liquidation of a company based on its
negative net assets, though such company had continued to fulfill its obligations and had net assets in excess of the required minimum at the time of liquidation.

Shareholder liability under Russian corporate law could cause us to become liable for the obligations of our subsidiaries.

Russian law generally provides that shareholders in a Russian joint-stock company or participants in a limited liability company are not liable
for that companys obligations and risk only the loss of their investment. This may not be the case, however, when one company (the effective parent) is capable of making decisions for another (the effective subsidiary).
Under certain circumstances, the effective parent bears joint and several responsibility for transactions concluded by the effective subsidiary in carrying out such decisions.

In addition, under Russian law, an effective parent is secondarily liable for an effective subsidiarys debts if an effective subsidiary
becomes insolvent or bankrupt as a result of the action of an effective parent. In these instances, the other shareholders of the effective subsidiary may claim compensation for the effective subsidiarys losses from the effective parent that
causes the effective subsidiary to take action or fail to take action knowing that such action or failure to take action would result in losses. We could be found to be the effective parent of our subsidiaries, in which case we would become liable
for their debts, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our operations in
Kazakhstan have become significant, and many of the risks we face in Kazakhstan are similar to those we face in Russia.

In
addition to Russia, our operations in Kazakhstan have become significant. In many respects, the risks we face in operating business in Kazakhstan are similar to those in Russia as set out above in Risks Relating to the Russian Federation
and Other Markets in Which We Operate. As is typical of an emerging market, Kazakhstan does not possess a well-developed business, legal and regulatory infrastructure and has been subject to substantial political, economic and social change.
Our business in Kazakhstan is subject to Kazakhstan specific laws and regulations relating to areas of tax, anti-corruption, and foreign exchange controls. Such laws are often rapidly changing and are unpredictable. In addition, we are exposed to
foreign currency fluctuations, between the Russian ruble and the Kazakh tenge, which could affect our financial position and our profitability. Our failure to manage the risks associated with doing business in Kazakhstan could have a material
adverse effect upon our results of operations.

Risks Relating to Taxation

Weaknesses and changes in the Russian tax system could materially and adversely affect our business and the value of investments in Russia.

We are subject to a broad range of taxes and other compulsory
payments imposed at federal, regional and local levels, including, but not limited to, profits tax, VAT, corporate property tax and social contributions. Tax laws, such as the Russian Tax Code, have been in force for a short period relative to tax
laws in more developed market economies, and the implementation of these tax laws is often unclear or inconsistent. Historically, the system of tax collection has been relatively ineffective, resulting in continual changes to the interpretation of
existing laws. Although the quality of Russian tax legislation has generally improved with the introduction of the first and second parts of the Russian Tax Code, the possibility exists that Russia may impose arbitrary or onerous taxes and penalties
in the future, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. A large number of changes have been made to various chapters of the Russian Tax Code since their introduction. Since Russian federal, regional
and local tax laws and regulations are subject to changes and some of the



29



---

##### Table of Contents

sections of the Russian Tax Code relating to the aforementioned taxes are comparatively new, interpretation of these regulations is often unclear or non-existent. Also, different interpretations
of tax regulations exist both among and within government bodies at the federal, regional and local levels, which creates uncertainties and inconsistent enforcement. The current practice is that private clarifications to specific taxpayers
queries with respect to particular situations issued by the Russian Ministry of Finance are not binding on the Russian tax authorities and there can be no assurance that the Russian tax authorities will not take positions contrary to those set out
in such clarifications. During the past several years the Russian tax authorities have shown a tendency to take more assertive positions in their interpretation of the tax legislation, which has led to an increased number of material tax assessments
issued by them as a result of tax audits. In practice, the Russian tax authorities generally interpret the tax laws in ways that do not favor taxpayers, who often have to resort to court proceedings against the Russian tax authorities to defend
their position. In some instances Russian tax authorities have applied new interpretations of tax laws retroactively. There is no established precedent or consistent court practice in respect of these issues. Furthermore, in the absence of binding
precedent, court rulings on tax or other related matters by different courts relating to the same or similar circumstances may also be inconsistent or contradictory. Taxpayers often have to resort to court proceedings to defend their position
against the tax authorities.

The Russian tax authorities are increasingly taking a substance over form approach. While
certain reductions in the rates, such as for profits tax, have been effected, it is expected that Russian tax legislation will become more sophisticated. The possibility exists that the Government may introduce additional revenue-raising measures.
Although it is unclear how such measures would operate, the introduction of any such measures may affect the Groups overall tax efficiency and may result in significant additional taxes becoming payable. There can be no assurance that the
Russian Tax Code will not be changed in the future in a manner adverse to the stability and predictability of the tax system. These factors, together with the potential for state budget deficits, raise the risk of the imposition of additional taxes
on us. The introduction of new taxes or amendments to current taxation rules may have a substantial impact on the overall amount of our tax liabilities. There is no assurance that we would not be required to make substantially larger tax payments in
the future, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business may be deemed to receive
unjustified tax benefits.

In its decision No 138-0 dated July 25, 2001, the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation,
or the Constitutional Court, introduced the concept of a taxpayer acting in a bad faith without clearly stipulating the criteria for it. Similarly, this concept is not defined in Russian tax law. Nonetheless, this concept has been used
by the tax authorities to deny, for instance, the taxpayers right to rely on the provisions of the tax law. The tax authorities and courts often exercise significant discretion in interpreting this concept in a manner that is unfavorable to
taxpayers. On October 12, 2006, the Plenum of the Higher Arbitrazh Court of the Russian Federation, or the Higher Arbitrazh Court, issued Ruling No. 53, formulating the concept of an unjustified tax benefit which is defined in
the ruling mainly by reference to specific examples of such tax benefits (e.g., tax benefits obtained as a result of a transaction that has no reasonable business purpose) which may lead to disallowance of their application. There is growing
practice of the interpretation of this concept by the tax authorities or the courts and it is apparent that the tax authorities actively seek to apply this concept when challenging tax positions taken by taxpayers. Although the intention of Ruling
No. 53 was to combat the abuse of tax law, based on cases brought to courts to date relating to Ruling No. 53, the tax authorities have started applying the unjustified tax benefit concept in a broader sense than may have been
intended by the Higher Arbitrazh Court. In particular, we are aware of cases when this concept has been applied by the tax authorities in order to disallow benefits granted by double tax treaties. To date, in the majority of cases where this concept
has been applied, the courts have ruled in favor of taxpayers, but it is not possible to determine whether the courts will follow these precedents in the future.

In May 2015, a draft legislation introducing the concept of unjustified tax benefit into the Russian Tax Code passed the first
reading in the State Duma of the Russian Federation. Subject to certain exceptions, the proposed legislation would prohibit taxpayers from deducting expenses for profits tax purposes and corresponding input VAT in cases where a business transaction
was primarily aimed at tax avoidance, the primary documents were signed by unauthorized or unspecified persons, or the seller did not actually sell goods (work, services) or transfer any property rights. Although at the moment it is not clear how
the final legislation will be worded it is anticipated that the introduction of these changes would allow the Russian tax authorities to have more arguments in disputes with taxpayers related to unjustified tax benefits. Currently the draft law is
still pending amendments to be made by the State Duma of the Russian Federation. It is unclear if and when the concept of unjustified tax benefit is to be introduced into the Russian tax legislation.

In addition to the usual tax burden imposed on Russian taxpayers, these conditions complicate tax planning and related business decisions.
This uncertainty could possibly expose our group to significant fines and penalties and to enforcement measures, despite our best efforts at compliance, and could result in a greater than expected tax burden.

Our Russian subsidiaries are subject to tax audits by Russian tax authorities which may result in additional tax liabilities.

Tax returns together with related documentation are subject to
review and investigation by a number of authorities, which are enabled by Russian law to impose substantial fines and interest charges. Generally, taxpayers are subject to tax audits for a period of three calendar years immediately preceding the
year in which the decision to conduct the audit is taken. Nevertheless in some cases the fact that a tax period has been reviewed by the tax authorities does not prevent further review of that tax period, or any tax return applicable to that tax
period. In addition, on July 14, 2005, the Constitutional Court issued a decision that allows the statute of limitations for tax penalties to be extended beyond the three-year term set forth in the Tax Code if a court determines that a taxpayer
has obstructed or hindered a field tax audit. Moreover, amendments introduced to the first part of the Russian Tax Code which came into effect on January 1, 2007 provide for the extension of the three year statute of limitations for tax
liabilities if the actions of the taxpayer create insurmountable obstacles for the tax audit. Because none of the relevant terms is defined in Russian law, the tax authorities may have broad discretion to argue that a taxpayer has
obstructed or hindered or created insurmountable obstacles in respect of an audit, effectively linking any difficulty experienced in the

course of their tax audit with obstruction by the taxpayer and use that as a basis to seek tax adjustments and penalties beyond the three-year term. Therefore, the statute of limitations is not
entirely effective. Tax audits may result in additional costs to our group if the relevant tax authorities conclude that our Russian entities did not satisfy their tax obligations in any given year. Such audits may also impose additional burdens on
our group by diverting the attention of management resources. The outcome of these audits could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Russian transfer pricing legislation may require pricing adjustments and impose additional tax liabilities with respect to all controlled transactions.

Russian transfer pricing legislation became effective in the Russian Federation on January 1, 1999. This legislation allowed
the tax authorities to make transfer-pricing adjustments and impose additional tax liabilities in respect of certain types of transactions (controlled transactions). Special transfer pricing provisions were established for operations
with securities and derivatives. However, Russian transfer pricing rules were vaguely drafted, generally leaving wide scope for interpretation by Russian tax authorities and courts. There was little guidance (although some court decisions are
available) as to how these rules should be applied. Following the adoption of Federal Law No. 227-FZ On amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation in connection with the improvement of pricing principles dated
July 18, 2011, the new transfer pricing rules became effective from January 1, 2012. Compared to the previous Russian transfer pricing rules, the new rules are more technically elaborate and, to a certain extent, better aligned with the
international transfer pricing principles developed by the OECD. The list of the controlled transactions under the new transfer pricing legislation includes transactions with related parties and certain types of cross border
transactions. The amendments have toughened considerably the previous transfer pricing rules, by, among other things, effectively shifting the burden of proving market prices from the tax authorities to the taxpayer and obliging the taxpayer to keep
specific documentation. The new rules also permit taxpayers to enter into advance pricing agreements with the tax authorities; however, it is unclear how such agreements will operate in practice. Special transfer pricing rules continue to apply to
transactions with securities and derivatives. It is currently difficult to evaluate what effect these new provisions may have on us.

Currently the tax authorities perform tax audits of some Russian taxpayers with major focus on compliance with new transfer pricing
legislation. It is therefore possible that the Group entities may become subject to transfer pricing tax audits by tax authorities in the near future. Due to the uncertainty and lack of established practice of application of the new Russian transfer
pricing legislation the Russian tax authorities may challenge the level of prices applied by the Group under the controlled transactions (including certain intercompany transactions) and accrue additional tax liabilities. If additional
taxes are assessed with respect to these matters, they may be material.

ADS holders outside of Russia may be subject to Russian tax for income
earned upon a sale, exchange or disposal of our ADSs.

In the event that the proceeds from a sale, exchange or disposal of ADSs are
deemed to be received from a source within Russia, a non-resident holder that is an individual may be subject to Russian tax in respect of such proceeds at a rate of 30% of the gain (such gain being computed as the sales price less any available
documented cost deduction, including the acquisition price of the ADSs and other documented expenses, such as depositary expenses and brokers fees), subject to any available double tax treaty relief, provided that the necessary requirements to
qualify for the treaty relief and the appropriate administrative requirements under the Russian tax legislation have been met. For example, holders of ADSs that are eligible for the benefits of the United States-Russia double tax treaty should
generally not be subject to tax in Russia on any gain arising from the disposal of ADSs, provided that the gain is not attributable to a permanent establishment or a fixed base that is or was located in Russia and/or provided that less than 50% of
our fixed assets consist of immovable property situated in Russia (as defined in the treaty). Because the determination of whether 50% or more of our fixed assets consist of immovable property situated in Russia is inherently factual and is made on
an on-going basis, and because the relevant Russian legislation and regulations are not entirely clear, there can be no assurance that immovable property situated in Russia does not currently, or will not, constitute 50% or more of our assets. If
50% or more of our assets were to consist of immovable property situated in Russia, the benefits of the United States-Russia double tax treaty may not be available to an ADS holder.

Changes in the double tax treaty between Russia and Cyprus may significantly increase our tax burden.

A company that is tax resident in Cyprus is subject to Cypriot taxation and qualifies for benefits available under the Cypriot tax treaty
network, including the Russia-Cyprus double tax treaty. We can provide no assurance that the double tax treaty will not be renegotiated or revoked. Adverse changes in, or the cancellation of, the Russia-Cyprus double tax treaty may significantly
increase our tax burden and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be deemed to be a tax resident
outside of Cyprus.

According to the provisions of
the Cyprus Income Tax Law, a company is considered to be a resident of Cyprus for tax purposes if its management and control are exercised in Cyprus. The concept of management and control is not defined in the Cypriot tax legislation.
However, the Cyprus Tax Authorities have published documents which indicate the minimum requirements that need to be satisfied for a company to be considered a tax resident of Cyprus (among others the place of incorporation of the company and its
tax residency only in Cyprus, the place where the companys executive bodies operate). If we are deemed not to be a tax resident in Cyprus (See Item 10.E TaxationMaterial Cypriot Tax ConsiderationsTax residency), we may
not be subject to the Cypriot tax regime other than in respect of Cyprus sourced income and we may be subject to the tax regime of the country in which we are deemed to be a tax resident.

##### Table of Contents

Further, we would not be eligible for benefits under the tax treaties entered into between Cyprus
and other countries. If applicable Russian law is amended so that a company that is a tax resident in Cyprus can also be considered a tax resident of Russia, the tax treaty in force between Cyprus and Russia provides that such a company shall be
deemed to be a tax resident of the state in which the place of effective management of the company is situated. A protocol to this treaty was signed in October 2010 and ratified by Cyprus in September 2011 and the Russian Duma in February 2012. This
protocol provides that the process of determining the effective management in this case will be achieved through the two states endeavoring to determine the place of effective management by mutual agreement having regard to all relevant factors.
Where the majority of our board of directors comprises tax residents or citizens of Russia, this may pose a risk that we, even if we are managed and controlled in Cyprus and therefore a tax resident in Cyprus, may be deemed to have a permanent
establishment in Russia or elsewhere. Such a permanent establishment could be subject to taxation of the jurisdiction of the permanent establishment on the profits allocable to the permanent establishment. If we are tax resident in a jurisdiction
outside of Cyprus or are deemed to have a permanent establishment in Russia or elsewhere, our tax burden may increase significantly, which, in turn, may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to defense tax in Cyprus.

Cypriot companies must pay a Special Contribution for the Defense Fund of the Republic of Cyprus, or the defense tax, at a rate of 17% on
deemed dividend distributions to the extent that their ultimate beneficial owners are Cypriot tax residents. A Cypriot company that does not distribute at least 70% of its after tax profits within two years from the end of the year in which the
profits arose, is deemed to have distributed this amount as a dividend two years after that year end. The amount of this deemed dividend distribution, subject to the defense tax, is reduced by any actual dividend paid out of the profits of the
relevant year at any time up to the date of the deemed distribution and the resulting balance of profits will be subject to the defense tax to the extent of the appropriation of shares held in the company at that time by Cyprus tax residents. The
profits to be taken into account in determining the deemed dividend do not include fair value adjustments to any movable or immovable property.

The defense tax payable as a result of a deemed dividend distribution is paid in the first instance by the company which may recover such
payment from its Cypriot shareholders by deducting the amount from an actual dividend paid to such shareholders from the relevant profits. To the extent that we are unable to recover this amount due to a change in shareholders or no actual dividend
is ever paid out of the relevant profits, we will suffer the cost of this defense tax. Imposition of this tax could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition if we are unable to recover the tax from
shareholders as described above.

In September 2011, the Commissioner of the Inland Revenue Department of Cyprus issued Circular 2011/10,
which exempted from the defense tax any profits of a company that is tax resident in Cyprus imputed indirectly to shareholders that are themselves tax resident in Cyprus to the extent that these profits are indirectly apportioned to shareholders who
are ultimately not Cyprus tax residents.

Depending upon the value and the nature of our assets and the amount and nature of our income over time,
we could be classified as a passive foreign investment company or PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

We will be classified
as a PFIC in any taxable year if either: (a) 50% or more of the fair market value of our gross assets (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) for the taxable year produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income,
or (b) 75% or more of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income. As a publicly traded foreign corporation we intend for this purpose to treat the aggregate fair market value of our gross assets as being equal to the aggregate
value of our outstanding stock (market capitalization) plus the total amount of our liabilities and to treat the excess of the fair market value of our assets over their book value as a nonpassive asset to the extent attributable to our
nonpassive income. Because we currently hold, and expect to continue to hold, a substantial amount of cash and cash equivalents and other passive assets used in our business, and because the value of our gross assets is likely to be determined in
large part by reference to our market capitalization securities, we would likely become a PFIC for a given taxable year if the market price of our ADSs were to decrease significantly. The application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in
several respects, and we must make a separate determination after the close of each taxable year as to whether we were a PFIC for such year. If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. investor held our ADSs, the U.S. investor might be
subject to increased U.S. federal income tax liability and to additional reporting obligations. We do not intend to provide the information necessary for the U.S. investor to make a qualified electing fund election with respect to our ADSs. See
Taxation  United States Federal Income Tax Considerations  Passive Foreign Investment Companies.

Adverse financial measures
may be adopted in Cyprus in connection with its bailout.

In June 2012, the government of Cyprus applied for financial
assistance from the European Central Bank, the EU and the IMF, together referred to as the Troika. On April 12, 2013, the government of Cyprus and the Troika reached an agreement regarding the provision of a EUR 10 billion loan and related
finance package to Cyprus, such loan and finance package being conditioned on Cyprus implementing a comprehensive economic adjustment program, or the Cyprus Economic Adjustment Program. The Cyprus Economic Adjustment Program included a scheme for
the reorganization of the Cypriot banking system whereby Bank of Cyprus plc, or BoC, Cyprus largest bank and Cyprus Popular Bank Public Co Ltd, or Cyprus Popular Bank, Cyprus second largest bank were placed in resolution
pursuant to applicable legislation, referred to herein as the Resolution Process. As a result of the Resolution Process, Cyprus Popular Bank was absorbed by BoC and deposit holders with credit balances in excess of EUR 100,000 (referred to
herein as the Uninsured Deposits) held with Cyprus Popular Bank and BoC suffered significant losses. On July 30, 2013, the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Cyprus announced that the BoC has been fully recapitalized by the overall
conversion of 47.5% of Uninsured Deposits with the BoC into shares in BoC, thus bringing an end to the BoCs Resolution Process. In March 2016 the Cyprus government successfully completed the implementation of the Cyprus Economic
Adjustment Program which allowed Cyprus to exit the p.The measures implemented to date have not had, and are not expected to have, a material impact on holding companies, such as us, that do not have significant deposits in Cyprus banks or
operations in Cyprus. However, further disruptions to the Cyprus banking system are possible and we cannot be certain that such disruptions will not adversely affect our financial condition or our shareholders who are not residents of Cyprus.

Our companies established outside of Russia may be exposed to taxation in Russia.

Due to our international structure, we are subject to permanent establishment and transfer pricing risks in various jurisdictions in which we
operate. We manage the related risks by looking at management functions and risks in various countries and level of profits allocated to each subsidiary. If additional taxes are assessed with respect to these matters, they may be material.

The Russian Tax Code contains the concept of a permanent establishment in Russia as means for taxing foreign legal entities, which carry on
regular entrepreneurial activities in Russia beyond preparatory and auxiliary activities. The Russian double tax treaties with other countries also contain a similar concept. If a foreign company is treated as having a permanent establishment in
Russia, it would be subject to Russian taxation in a manner broadly similar to the taxation of a Russian legal entity, but only to the extent of the amount of the foreign companys income that is attributable to the permanent establishment in
Russia. However, the practical application of the concept of a permanent establishment under Russian domestic law is not well developed and so foreign companies having even limited operations in Russia, which would not normally satisfy the
conditions for creating a permanent establishment under international norms, may be at risk of being treated as having a permanent establishment in Russia and hence being exposed to Russian taxation. Furthermore, the Russian Tax Code contains
attribution rules, which are not sufficiently developed and there is a risk that the tax authorities might seek to assess Russian tax on the global income of a foreign company. Having a permanent establishment in Russia may also lead to other
adverse tax implications, including challenging a reduced withholding tax rate on dividends under an applicable double tax treaty, potential effect on VAT and property tax obligations. There is also a risk that penalties could be imposed by the tax
authorities for failure to register a permanent establishment with the Russian tax authorities. Recent events in Russia suggest that the tax authorities may more actively be seeking to investigate and assert whether foreign entities of our group,
operate through a permanent establishment in Russia. Any such taxes or penalties could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A number of amendments had been made to the Russian tax legislation introducing, amongst others, the concepts of controlled foreign companies,
corporate tax residency and beneficial ownership (Federal Law No. 376-FZ was signed by the Russian President on November 24, 2014 with its provisions applicable starting from January 1, 2015). Due to the lack of court and
administrative practice, no assurance can be currently given as to how these amendments will be applied in practice and their exact nature, their potential interpretation by the tax authorities and the possible impact on us. We cannot rule out the
possibility that, as a result of the introduction of changes to Russian tax legislation, certain of our companies established outside Russia might be deemed to be Russian tax residents, subject to all applicable Russian taxes. For more details see
risks described in Russian anti-offshore measures may have adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may encounter difficulties in obtaining lower rates of Russian withholding income tax envisaged
by the Russia-Cyprus double tax treaty for dividends distributed from Russia.

For more details on transfer pricing risk see risks
described in Russian transfer pricing legislation may require pricing adjustments and impose additional tax liabilities with respect to all controlled transactions.

We may encounter difficulties in obtaining lower rates of Russian withholding income tax envisaged by the Russia-Cyprus double tax treaty for dividends
distributed from Russia.

Dividends paid by a Russian legal entity to a foreign legal entity are generally subject to Russian
withholding income tax at a rate of 15%, although this tax rate may be reduced under an applicable double tax treaty. We intend to rely on the Russia-Cyprus double tax treaty. The tax treaty allows reduction of withholding income tax on dividends
paid by a Russian company to a Cypriot company to 10% provided that the following conditions are met: (i) the Cypriot company is a tax resident of Cyprus within the meaning of the tax treaty; (ii) the Cypriot company is the beneficial
owner of the dividends; (iii) the dividends are not attributable to a permanent establishment of the Cypriot company in Russia; and (iv) the treaty clearance procedures are duly performed. This rate may be further reduced to 5% if the
direct investment of the Cypriot company in a Russian subsidiary paying the dividends is at least 100,000. Although we will seek to claim treaty protection, there is a risk that the applicability of the reduced rate of 5% or 10% may be
challenged by Russian tax authorities. As a result, there can be no assurance that we would be able to avail ourselves of the reduced withholding income tax rate in practice. Specifically, our Cypriot holding company may incur a 15% withholding
income tax at source on dividend payments from Russian subsidiaries if the treaty clearance procedures are not duly performed at the date when the dividend payment is made. In this case we may seek to claim as a refund the difference between the 15%
tax withheld and the reduced rate of 10% or 5% as appropriate. However, there can be no assurance that such taxes would be refunded in practice.

Although we intend to rely on an applicable double tax treaty between Russia and the country where the relevant non-Russian subsidiary is
resident, no assurance can be given that the reduced withholding tax rate would apply. A number of amendments had been made to the Russian tax legislation introducing, amongst others, the concept of beneficial ownership. Under this concept, double
tax treaty benefits are only available to the recipient of income from Russian sources, if such recipient is the beneficial owner of the relevant income. Foreign entities that do not qualify as beneficial owners may not claim double tax treaty
relief even if they are residents in a double tax treaty country. For these purposes, the beneficial owner is defined as a person holding directly, through its direct and/or indirect participation in other organizations or otherwise, the right to
own, use or dispose of income, or the person on whose behalf another person is authorized to use and/or dispose of such income. In order to determine whether a foreign entity is a beneficial owner of income, it is necessary to take into account the
functions performed by such foreign entity, as well as the risks borne by it. Entities are not recognized as beneficial owners of income if they have limited authorities to use or dispose income received from Russian sources, perform agency or other
similar functions in favor of third parties, not taking any risks, or transfer such income (either partially or in full) to third parties that are not eligible to double tax treaty benefits.

##### Table of Contents

Introduction of the concept of beneficial ownership may result in the inability of the foreign
companies within our group to claim benefits under a double taxation treaty through structures which historically have benefited from double taxation treaty protection in Russia. This may be the case if the recipient of the income is not recognized
as its beneficial owner, look-through approach cannot be applied or is challenged by the tax authorities. The imposition of additional tax liabilities as a result of the application of this rule to transactions carried out by us may have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For more details see risks described in Russian anti-offshore measures may have adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

Russian anti-offshore measures may have adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations

The Russian Federation, like a number of other countries in the world, is actively involved in discussion of measures against tax
evasion through the use of low tax jurisdictions as well as aggressive tax planning structures. Initiatives such as the incorporation into Russian law of the concept of beneficial corporate ownership, tax residency of legal entities, the CFC Rules,
conclusion of multilateral agreements for the exchange of information between the tax authorities of different countries have already been raised by the Government in the Main Directions of Russian Tax Policy for 2013 and the planned period of
2014-2015 and were found in the latest draft of the Main Directions of Russian Tax Policy for 2015 and the planned period of 2016-2017. The Russian Presidents address to the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation on December 12, 2013
focused extensively on the proposed anti-offshore measures in the Russian economy.

As a response to this address, the Federal Law
No. 376-FZ was signed by the Russian President on November 24, 2014 with its provisions applicable starting from January 1, 2015. This law introduced the following concepts into Russian tax legislation:



| | (i) | the concept of controlled foreign companies (the CFC Rules). Under the Russian CFC Rules, in certain circumstances, undistributed profits of foreign companies and non-corporate structures (e.g.,
trusts, funds or partnerships) domiciled in foreign jurisdictions, which are ultimately owned and/ or controlled by Russian tax residents (legal entities and individuals) will be subject to taxation in Russia. The Russian CFC Rules are being further
developed. In particular, in June 2015, the President of the Russian Federation signed a federal law introducing technical amendments to the Russian CFC Rules, and another draft legislation with respect to the CFC Rules was published and passed the
first reading in the State Duma of the Russian Federation in December 2015. In the meantime, certain provisions of the Russian CFC Rules are still ambiguous and may be subject to arbitrary interpretation by the Russian tax authorities;

| | (ii) | the concept of corporate tax residency. Under this concept, a foreign legal entity may be recognized as a Russian tax resident if such entity is in fact managed from Russia. When an entity is recognized as
Russian tax resident it is obligated to register with the Russian tax authorities, calculate and pay Russian tax on its worldwide income and comply with other tax-related rules established for Russian entities. The new rules set principal and
secondary criteria for determining the place of management (among other things, the place where the companys executive body operates). However, there is some uncertainty as to how these criteria will be applied by the Russian tax authorities
in practice;
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | the concept of beneficial ownership. Under the Federal Law, a beneficial owner is defined as a person holding directly, through its direct and/or indirect participation in other organizations or otherwise,
the right to own, use or dispose of income, or the person on whose behalf another person is authorized to use and/or dispose of such income. When determining the beneficial owner, the functions of a foreign person that is claiming the application of
reduced tax rates under an applicable double tax treaty and the risks that such person takes should be analyzed. In accordance with the Federal Law, the benefits of a double tax treaty will not apply if a foreign person claiming such benefits has
limited powers to dispose of the relevant income, fulfills intermediary functions without performing any other duties or taking any risks and paying such income (partially or in full) directly or indirectly to another person who would not be
entitled to the same benefits should it received the income in question directly from Russia. The Federal Law gives the right to the tax agent (i.e., the payer of income) to require, in addition to a certificate of tax residency, a confirmation from
the recipient of the income that it is the beneficial owner of the income, however, at the moment it is still not clear in what form such confirmation should be obtained.
| | ----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is currently unclear how the Russian tax authorities will interpret and apply the new tax provisions and what will be the possible impact
on us. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that we might be subject to additional tax liabilities because of these changes being introduced and applied to transactions carried out by us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

On November 4, 2014 the Russian President also signed Federal Law No. 325-FZ
ratifying the multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters developed by the Council of Europe and the OECD, which the Russian Federation signed in 2011. Ratification of this Convention will enable the Russian Federation
to receive tax information from all participating countries which include, among others, a number of offshore jurisdictions. The provisions of the Convention came into force for Russia starting from July 1, 2015.

No assurance can currently be given as to the potential interpretation of the abovementioned changes into Russian tax legislation by the
Russian tax authorities and the possible impact on us and our subsidiaries. These developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to our ADSs

The class B shares underlying the ADSs are not listed and may be illiquid.

The class B shares underlying the ADSs are neither listed nor traded on any stock exchange, and we do not intend to apply for the listing or
admission to trading of the class B shares on any stock exchange. As a result, a withdrawal of class B shares by a holder of ADSs, whether by election or due to certain other events will result in that holder obtaining securities that are
significantly less liquid than the ADSs and the price of those class B shares may be discounted as a result of such withdrawal.

Our ADSs trade on
more than one market and this may result in increased volatility and price variations between such markets.

Our ADSs trade on both
Nasdaq and MOEX. Trading in our ADSs on these markets occurs in different currencies (U.S. dollars on Nasdaq and Russian rubles on MOEX) and at different times (due to different time zones, trading days and public holidays in the United States and
Russia). The trading prices of our ADSs on these two markets may differ due to these and other factors. The liquidity of trading in our ADSs on MOEX is limited. This may impair your ability to sell your ADSs on MOEX at the time you wish to sell them
or at a price that you consider reasonable. In addition, trading of a small number of ADSs on that market could adversely impact the price of our ADSs significantly and could, in turn, impact the price in the United States. ADSs are completely
fungible between both markets. Any decrease in the trading price of our ADSs on one of these markets could cause a decrease in the trading price of our ADSs on the other market. Additionally, as there is no direct trading or settlement between the
two stock markets, the time required to move the ADSs from one market to another may vary and there is no certainty of when ADSs that are moved will be available for trading or settlement.

Future sales of ADSs or ordinary shares by significant shareholders could cause the price of our ADSs to decline.

If any of our significant shareholders sell, or indicate an intent to sell, substantial amounts of our ADSs or ordinary shares, including both
class A shares and class B shares, in the market, the trading price of our ADSs could decline significantly. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of these ADSs or ordinary shares or the availability of these ADSs or
ordinary shares for sale will have on the market price of our ADSs. As of the date of this annual report, we have outstanding 60,420,306 ordinary shares, including those represented by ADSs. Of these, 44,886,005 ordinary shares are immediately
freely tradable, without restriction, in the public market.

In addition, we have granted registration rights to Saldivar Investments
Limited, Sergey A. Solonin, Andrey N. Romanenko, Igor N. Mikhaylov, E1 Limited and Mitsui & Co., Ltd., who collectively own 100% of our class A shares and approximately 77.6% of the voting power of our issued share capital as of the date of
this annual report. To the extent these shares are sold into the market, the market price of our ADSs could decline. We cannot predict what effect, if any, market sales of securities held by our significant shareholders or any other shareholder or
the availability of these securities for future sale will have on the market price of the ADSs.

Investors in our ADSs may have limited recourse
against us, our directors and executive officers because we conduct our operations outside the United States and most of our current directors and executive officers reside outside the United States.

Our presence outside the United States may limit investors legal recourse against us. We are incorporated under the laws of the Republic
of Cyprus. Almost all of our current directors and senior officers reside outside the United States, principally in the Russian Federation. Substantially all of our assets and the assets of our current directors and executive officers are located
outside the United States, principally in the Russian Federation. As a result, investors may not be able to effect service of process within the United States upon our company or its directors and executive officers or to enforce U.S. court
judgments obtained against our company or its directors and executive officers in Russia, Cyprus or other jurisdictions outside the United States, including actions under the civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws. In addition, it may be
difficult for investors to enforce, in original actions brought in courts in jurisdictions outside the United States, liabilities predicated upon US securities laws. There is no treaty between the United States and the Russian Federation providing
for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign court judgments in civil and commercial matters. These limitations may deprive investors of effective legal recourse for claims related to their investment in our ADSs.

Our ADS holders may not be able to exercise their pre-emptive rights in relation to future issuances of class B shares.

In order to raise funding in the future, we may issue
additional class B shares, including in the form of ADSs. Generally, existing holders of shares in Cypriot public companies are entitled by law to pre-emptive rights on the issue of new shares in that company (provided that such shares are paid in
cash and the pre-emption rights have not been disapplied). Our ADS holders may not be able to exercise pre-emptive rights for class B shares represented by ADSs unless applicable securities law requirements are adhered to or an exemption from such
requirements is available. In the United States, we may be required to file a registration statement under the Securities Act to implement pre-emptive rights. We can give no assurance that an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act would be available to enable U.S. holders of ADSs to exercise such pre-emptive rights and, if such exemption is available, we may not take the steps necessary to enable U.S. holders of ADSs to rely on it. Accordingly, our ADS holders
may not be able to exercise their pre-emptive rights on future issuances of shares, and, as a result, their percentage ownership interest in us would be reduced. In April 2013, our shareholders authorized the disapplication of pre-emptive rights for
a period of five years from May 8, 2013, the date of the closing of our initial public offering, in connection with the issue of up to an additional 52,000,000 class B shares, including in the form of ADSs. Any issuances of class B shares
for cash exceeding this amount during this five-year period would require disapplication of pre-emptive rights by the class B shareholders at such time. However, a Cyprus court or regulatory authority could determine that such waiver should not
apply to an issuance of class B shares even if it is within such amount. If for any reason the disapplication of these rights proves to be ineffective or class B shareholders do not approve any further disapplication of pre-emptive rights that
may be required, our ADS holders ability to participate in future issuances of class B shares, including in the form of ADSs, may be limited. Furthermore, rights offerings are difficult to implement effectively under the current U.S.
securities laws and our ability to raise capital in the future may be compromised if we need to do so via a rights offering in the United States.

ADS holders have no legal interest in the underlying class B shares.

ADS holders acquire the beneficial, and not the legal, interest in the underlying class B shares, which the depositary holds on trust for them,
under the terms of the deposit agreement. The intended effect of the trust is to ring-fence the class B shares in the hands of the depositary by conferring a property interest on ADS holders as beneficiaries. The interest of the ADS holders as
beneficiaries in trust assets, which are the class B shares, is indirect, in the sense that in the normal course they do not have any direct recourse to the class B shares nor do they have any direct right of action against us.

ADS holders may be subject to limitations on transfer of their ADSs.

ADSs are transferable on the books of the depositary. However, the depositary may close its transfer books at any time or from time to time
when it deems expedient in connection with the performance of its duties. In addition, the depositary may refuse to deliver, transfer or register transfers of ADSs generally when our books or the books of the depositary are closed, or at any time if
we or the depositary deems it advisable to do so because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body, or under any provision of the deposit agreement, or for any other reason in accordance with the terms of the deposit
agreement.

|A. | History and Development of the Company
|-- | --------------------------------------

We were incorporated in Cyprus under the name of
OE Investments Limited on February 26, 2007 as a new holding company for JSC QIWI (previously known as OSMP CJSC and QIWI CJSC), which was incorporated in Russia in January in 2004. In 2007, we acquired, among other entities, CJSC E-port and
LLC Qiwi Wallet; which were reorganized into JSC QIWI. In April 2008, we launched the Qiwi brand, which gradually became the marketing name for our businesses. We changed our name to Qiwi Limited on September 13, 2010, and subsequently to Qiwi
plc upon converting to a public limited company on February 25, 2013.

Our principal executive office is located at Kennedy 12,
Kennedy Business Centre, 2nd floor, P.C. 1087, Nicosia, Cyprus. Our telephone number at this address is: 22-653390. Our registered office is the same.

Our primary subsidiaries are QIWI Bank (JSC), or Qiwi Bank, JSC QIWI, QIWI Payments Services Provider Limited and Rapida LTD. We acquired Qiwi
Bank in September 2010 from a group of our shareholders, and JSC QIWI was incorporated in Russia in January 2004. QIWI Payments Services Provider Limited was incorporated in the United Arab Emirates in February 2011. In June 2015, we acquired the
Rapida payment processing system and the Contact money transfer system by acquiring all of the outstanding interests in CIHRUS LLC from Otkritie Investment Cyprus Limited (Otkritie) in exchange for 5,593,041 newly issued class B shares,
which represented 9.27% of our outstanding share capital following the acquisition.

For a description of our principal capital
expenditures and divestitures for the three years ended December 31, 2015 and for those currently in progress, see Item 5 Operating and Financial Review and Prospects. For a description of the rules and regulations under which
we are governed, see Item 5 Regulation.



|B. | Business Overview
|-- | -----------------

We are a leading provider of next generation payment services in
Russia and the CIS. We have an integrated proprietary network that enables payment services across physical, online and mobile channels. We have deployed over 16.1 million virtual wallets, over 172,000 kiosks and terminals, and enabled
merchants to accept over RUB 70 billion cash and electronic payments monthly from over 67 million consumers using our network at least once a month (aggregating consumers across Qiwi, Contact and Rapida networks, without elimination of
potential duplication). Our consumers can use cash, stored value and other electronic payment methods to order and pay for goods and services across physical or virtual environments interchangeably. We believe the complementary combination of our
physical and virtual payment services provides differentiated convenience to our consumers and creates a strong network effect that drives payment volume across our business. With the recent acquisition of Contact and Rapida, we broadened the scope
of services primarily in the money remittance and further increased our distribution network. We believe that our leading market position, proprietary network and complementary services provide us with competitive advantages that have enabled us to
generate strong growth and profitability.

We operate in and target markets and consumer segments that are largely cash-based or that lack
convenient alternatives for consumers to pay for goods and services in physical, online and mobile environments. We help consumers and merchants connect more efficiently in these markets by providing an integrated network of physical and virtual
wallets and payment channels that enable consumers to deposit cash, convert it into a digital form and transfer the funds to a virtual wallet, a variety of Visa-branded prepaid cards or pay for any merchant in our network quickly and securely 
for example, to pay bills, add minutes to their mobile phones, purchase transportation and tickets, shop online or at a retail store, buy digital services or send money to a friend or relative. Moreover, following our acquisition of Contact, our
consumers can now make money transfers both within Russia and abroad using our extensive network of partners, which include banks branches, retail stores and certain other points of service.

Our platform provides simple and intuitive user interfaces, convenient access and best-in-class services combined with the reputation and
trust associated with the Qiwi group brands. The payments processed on our network are typically very small with a limit of RUB 15,000 per transaction and, since they are primarily funded with cash, consumers do not have to undergo a lengthy
registration process to execute certain types of transactions. Alternatively, consumers can create an online account, or virtual wallet, with Qiwi where they can store money, deposited from cash or funded from a variety of other sources, such as
mobile phone balances, bank accounts, credit card or money transfers, that can be used to make payments and purchases at any time. Our services also allow merchants in Russia and other markets, including leading MNOs, online retailers, financial
institutions and utilities, to accept payments via our network, enabling them to attract more consumers, generate more sales and get paid faster and more easily.

We have deployed our network of kiosks and terminals using a proprietary agent model. Under this model, our
kiosks are assembled by third party manufacturers using our proprietary specifications and are then purchased by over 6,500 agents who are responsible for placing, operating and servicing the kiosks in high-traffic and convenient retail locations.
In addition, an agent-owned point of sale terminal, computer, laptop or mobile phone can serve as a Qiwi terminal once our proprietary software is installed on it, which allows the agent to process consumer payments to merchants through our system.
In Russia and Kazakhstan, the Qiwi brand is well-known and our kiosks and terminals provide unique physical access to an alternative payment method for the population there. They can be found next to convenience stores, in train stations, post
offices, retail stores or airport terminals in all of the major urban centers, as well as many small and rural towns that lack large bank branches and other financial infrastructure. In addition, we distribute our payment services through our
virtual Visa Qiwi Wallet product, which enables consumers to access and make payments through their computers or mobile devices.

We run our network and process our transactions using a proprietary, advanced technology platform
that leverages the latest virtualization, analytics and security technologies to create a fast, highly reliable, secure and redundant system. We believe that the breadth and reach of our network, along with the proprietary nature of our technology
platform, differentiates us from our competitors and allows us to effectively manage and update our services and realize significant operating leverage with growth in volumes.

Our Payment Network

Consumers access our
payment network through two primary channels: physical distribution represented by our kiosks and terminals, and virtual distribution represented by our online product that we operate under the Visa Qiwi Wallet (in Russia), Qiwi Wallet (in
Kazakhstan) and Qiwi Wallet Europa (in Latvia) brands. These two channels are highly synergetic, creating a self-reinforcing network that we believe has been key for the continuing success of our business.

In 2013, 2014 and 2015, we had processed RUB 561 billion, RUB 645 billion and RUB 873 billion in payments, respectively.

Physical distribution

Overview

Our physical distribution comprises approximately of 115,000 kiosks and 57,000 terminals (including various interfaces at physical points of
service) that are assembled and sold by third party manufacturers. These kiosks and terminals run our proprietary software, which provides the user customized interfaces that display our broad range of payment services and provides the connectivity
to our processing platform. These capabilities help connect consumers and merchants and enable them to conduct commercial transactions, such as bill payments and purchases, at thousands of convenient locations, without the need to interact directly.

In 2013, 2014 and 2015 we had approximately 127,000, 142,000 and 115,000 kiosks and 42,000, 38,000 and 57,000 terminals in our
network as of year-end, respectively.

With the addition of Contact and Rapida, we provide consumers with approximately 25,000 additional
physical points of service which are located in retail stores and bank branches across Russia and the CIS.

Our Kiosks and Terminals

A kiosk is a stand-alone computer terminal with a touch screen and specialized hardware and software, which enables consumers to make cash
payments to merchants. Each kiosk is connected to our network using a dedicated SIM card and is equipped with a cash acceptor, a printing device and a transaction recording device. Our kiosks are assembled by third party manufacturers using our
proprietary specifications. Kiosks are relatively easy and inexpensive to install and operate and are equipped with specialized software that monitors the condition of the kiosk and its components, including the amount of cash stored, and the
sufficiency of expendable materials such as thermal paper. A kiosk is also relatively simple to assemble, and we generally have not encountered any significant issues in relation to underproduction or shortage of kiosks. There are 20 base models of
kiosk available in the Russian market.

In addition to kiosks, our network includes approximately 57,000 terminals at various retail
locations, including a number of major Russian retail chains such as Svyaznoy and Euroset. We provide these businesses with access to our network through our proprietary software and process the payments made by their customers.

Our kiosks and terminals are typically owned by our agents, except in limited circumstances when we enter new markets where we may own a
number of kiosks or terminals. We believe this ownership structure has allowed us to build a large network in a relatively short period of time. The agents purchase, install, operate and service the kiosks and terminals themselves; we provide them
with our platform and technical solutions, help them comply with reporting requirements and provide them with various forms of support and incentives. In 2014, we signed rental agreements with large retail networks including Magnit, X5 Retail Group,
Dixy and Monetka to further sublease those locations to our agents. We believe it is important to provide our agents with comprehensive support in order to ensure quality of service and unique competitive environment.

How Our Kiosks and Terminals Work

To make a payment through a kiosk, a consumer selects the hyperlink icon of a particular merchant on the kiosk
screen and enters the data necessary for the merchant to identify the consumer. For instance, this may be the consumers mobile phone number or details on the consumers utility bill. The consumer inserts money into a cash acceptor, which
automatically recognizes the value of the banknotes. Once the necessary amount of money has been inserted, the consumer presses a button to confirm that he or she wishes to complete the transaction, and the software installed on the kiosk sends an
instruction to our processing system to transmit a corresponding amount to the merchant and to withdraw it from the agents account. The kiosk then prints a receipt confirming that payment has been made. The interface of a kiosk is highly
intuitive to facilitate a convenient user experience with the entire transaction process normally taking no more than a few minutes. A transaction is mostly automated and usually performed in three or four easy steps, so that the user is only
required to input a minimum of information. When making a payment through a terminal, a consumer gives the same information (merchant name, amount of transaction and account identifying data) to a cashier at a cash desk, who processes it on a
computer or a mobile phone using specialized software.

Our Agents

Our agent base includes more than 6,500 agents who own kiosks and terminals and are responsible for placing, operating and servicing them in
high-traffic, convenient retail locations. Most of our agents are small to mid-sized businesses, which we believe provides them with insight into local market dynamics. For many of our agents, the business of kiosk and terminal ownership is a
full-time occupation, while some view it as an ancillary service that increases consumer traffic in their outlets or provides additional convenience to consumers. We do not consider ourselves to be materially dependent on any of our agents.

Our contracts with the agents are usually for an indefinite term and may be unilaterally terminated by the agent. Our agent contracts do not
have exclusivity clauses. Our agents determine the consumer fee for a number of services, mainly for Telecom merchants, while we control and set, if applicable, consumer commissions for services of other merchants. Moreover, we are in a position to
cap these fees depending on our marketing actions or merchants request. When the fee payable by the consumers is absent or capped, we normally award the agents with an increased portion of merchant fees.

Our International Kiosks and Terminals

Almost our entire physical distribution network is currently located in Russia and Kazakhstan. We also have a limited number of kiosks in
Moldova, Romania and Belarus.

Virtual Distribution

Overview

We have a virtual distribution
channel that we operate under Visa Qiwi Wallet, Qiwi Wallet and Qiwi Wallet Europe brands. Visa Qiwi Wallet is an online and mobile payment processing and money transfer system that we offer in Russia that allows accountholders to pay for the
products and services of merchants, and to perform peer-to-peer money transfers using a virtual wallet, which effectively replaces a physical wallet in an online and mobile environment. A virtual wallet enables its holder to make online purchases
through a convenient, secure and intuitive online or mobile interface with multiple payment methods. Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts can be linked to virtual or physical Visa prepaid cards that can be used to make purchases at any merchants that accept
Visa worldwide. We believe Visa Qiwi Wallet is one of the leading virtual wallet providers in Russia.

Prior to November 2012, Visa
Qiwi Wallet was branded as Qiwi Wallet. Qiwi Wallet became a co-branded product pursuant to our Framework Agreement with Visa entered into on November 19, 2012. We operate Qiwi Wallet as a separate brand in certain jurisdictions outside of
Russia.

In 2013, 2014 and 2015, we had 15.4 million, 17.2 million and 16.1 million active virtual wallets registered with
our system as of year-end, respectively.

Our Virtual Wallet

With Visa Qiwi Wallet, consumers can create an online account, referred to as a virtual wallet, in which they can store money, deposited from
cash or funded from a variety of other sources such as mobile phone balances, bank accounts, credit or debit cards, or money transfers, that can be used to make payments, purchases and peer-to-peer transfers. To register a virtual wallet, a consumer
only needs to have a mobile phone number to which the account is linked.

The account loading process is simple and intuitive regardless of the interface
that the consumer uses to access Visa Qiwi Wallet, whether it is our own website, the screen of a kiosk, the virtual banking service of the consumers bank or a mobile app. Normally, a consumer just needs to enter the unique identification
number of his or her virtual wallet and indicate the amount and source of money he or she wishes to load to the account. Likewise, while the process of making a payment through Visa Qiwi Wallet may vary slightly depending on the interface, it is
always intuitive.

We believe that a key part of our service offering is consumer convenience and ease of use. Visa Qiwi Wallet is
available through a variety of interfaces, including mobile apps, its own website, touch-screens of our kiosks, merchant websites, social network applications, and SMS/USSD (whereby a payment is made by sending an SMS message to a specified phone
number). An increasing percentage of consumers are accessing Visa Qiwi Wallet directly through mobile apps and our own website rather than through our kiosks (which was historically the most popular Qiwi Wallet interface). Nevertheless, accessing
Visa Qiwi Wallet through our kiosks remains the primary means by which consumers load and reload their accounts, which we believe highlights the synergies between our physical and virtual distribution networks and will continue to support the
sustainability of our business.

We offer downloadable Visa Qiwi Wallet applications for the most popular mobile and digital platforms and
devices, including Apple iPhone and iPad, Android and Microsoft Windows Phone. We also support major mobile operating systems: iOS, Android and Windows phone. We believe that these efforts are a vital part of our overall marketing strategy and serve
to increase our consumer base.

##### Table of Contents

In February and May 2015, we announced our strategic partnerships with MegaFon and Beeline
respectively by launching a co-branded products based on Visa QIWI Wallet technology. As a result of these partnerships, operators subscribers now have an opportunity to make payments for merchants supported by the Visa QIWI Wallet using their
mobile phone balance as the source of funds. We view this as an important achievement in terms of deepening our relationship with Mobile operators and offering our users new valuable features. Currently this solution is unique in the Russian market.
These agreement is not exclusive which allows us to execute similar contracts with other MNOs.

How Our Virtual Wallet Works

Payments made through Visa Qiwi Wallet can be categorized into push payments and pull payments. A push payment is a payment initiated by the
consumer from a Visa Qiwi Wallet interface. After entering Visa Qiwi Wallet through one of its secure interfaces, a consumer is required to select the name of the merchant from a drop-down list or using a search function and to type in the payment
amount. Consumers are not subject to a fee when making most payments through Visa Qiwi Wallet. Additionally, consumers are able to link their bank cards to their Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts to make online payments without divulging their bank card
details on merchant websites, decreasing the perceived risk of fraud associated with online payments. A pull payment is a payment initiated by the consumer from a merchant interface, typically a merchant website through which the consumer makes a
purchase. During the check-out process at a merchant website, the consumer chooses Visa Qiwi Wallet as a payment method and is re-directed to a Visa Qiwi Wallet web page. Next, if the consumer is already registered with Visa Qiwi Wallet, he or she
is prompted to enter his or her mobile phone number to which his or her Visa Qiwi Wallet account is linked and his or her Visa Qiwi Wallet password. If the consumer is not yet registered with Visa Qiwi Wallet, our system automatically generates a
virtual wallet for him or her once the mobile phone number is entered. A registered Visa Qiwi Wallet user is then required to select a source of funds to be used, including the prepaid balance of the Visa Qiwi Wallet account, a bank card previously
linked to the Visa Qiwi Wallet account, or his or her mobile phone account. The consumer may also select a deferred payment option, whereby our system generates an electronic invoice from the merchant to the consumer which is stored in the
consumers virtual wallet and can be paid at a later stage. After a payment option is chosen, the consumer is required to confirm the transaction, following which funds are withdrawn from the source the consumer is using and transmitted to the
merchant. The only option available to consumers who did not have a Visa Qiwi Wallet account previously is the deferred payment option. Once the consumer loads his or her newly registered virtual wallet or links a bank card to it, the invoice can be
confirmed and paid, after which the transaction is completed.

Our Reload Channels

Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts can be reloaded through virtually any payment method available on the market, including making cash deposit at any of
our kiosks or terminals, bank cards and accounts, online banking and retail. Visa Qiwi Wallet benefits in particular from access to our own network of kiosks and terminals, which is the largest cash reload network in Russia. We believe that by
offering the convenience of reloading at our kiosks and terminals, we increase the likelihood of consumers using Visa Qiwi Wallet as well as the other services that we offer.

Qiwi branded kiosks and terminals are the primary means by which consumers reload their Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts. Over the last three years
the percentage of reloads made through bank cards, mobile phone balances and directly from bank accounts was less than 15% of total reloads. However, in the recent quarters we have seen an increase in the share of this reload channels as the result
of the decline in the number of our and third party kiosks on the market (see Item 3.D Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Our Business and IndustryA decline in the use of cash as a means of payment or a decline in the use of kiosks
and terminals may result in a reduced demand for our services). Consumers also use third-party networks for cash reloads. With our recently announced co-branded wallet products with MegaFon and Beeline we have provided our consumers with
another convenient and free-of-charge top up channel which we expect to become more popular among our users.

Our International Virtual Wallets

As of December 31, 2015, the vast majority of active Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts were based in Russia. We expect the international
expansion of Visa Qiwi Wallet to be focused on markets with high volumes of money transfers to and from Russia and a low penetration of banking services. These are primarily the CIS and Eastern European countries with which Russia historically has
strong economic and social relations. For example, in 2015 we have launched a pilot project in Latvia under the brand Qiwi Wallet Europe. We believe that our services could also be in demand with e-commerce businesses, which seek to increase their
customer base in Russia.

Qiwi Bank and Rapida LTD

In September 2010, we acquired Qiwi Bank (which is licensed as a bank in the Russian Federation) to serve as a
platform for our Visa Qiwi Wallet business. When a consumer deposits cash on his or her Visa Qiwi Wallet account, Qiwi Bank issues a virtual prepaid card to a consumer. Qiwi Bank also issues plastic cards to Visa Qiwi Wallet customers. Funds
received by Qiwi Bank resulting from customers loading and reloading their Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts are held on Qiwi Banks account. Qiwi Bank does not pay interest on Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts. Qiwi Bank also maintains a small number of
accounts for our employees, officers and directors, agents and certain related parties. See also Regulation for a brief description of the regulatory regime applicable to Qiwi Bank.

In June 2015, we acquired Rapida LTD which is a licensed non-banking credit organization in the Russian Federation. Rapida LTD operates
payment processing and money transfer settlements within the group. See also Regulation for a brief description of the regulatory regime applicable to Rapida LTD.

Qiwi Prepaid Cards

At the end of 2009, we launched a prepaid card program in partnership with Visa Inc. Qiwi Visa prepaid cardholders enjoy all the benefits of a
Visa card without having to open a bank account or credit line, eliminating the perceived risk in the markets we serve of fraud associated with traditional credit and debit cards. Our Visa prepaid cards can be purchased through a Visa Qiwi Wallet or
a Qiwi kiosk and currently consist of the following card products:



| |  |  | Qiwi Visa Virtual Card  are virtual cards that are delivered to a consumers mobile phone by SMS within seconds of purchase and can be used to make purchases online from any merchant that accepts
Visa-branded cards. Qiwi Visa Virtual cards have a prepaid balance and are valid for three months.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Qiwi Visa Card  are virtual cards that are delivered to a consumers mobile phone by SMS within seconds of purchase and can be used to make purchases online from any merchant that accepts Visa-branded
cards. Qiwi Visa Cards are linked to the balance of a consumers Visa Qiwi Wallet and are valid for 24 months. Although it is envisaged that all new Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts will be linked to Visa prepaid virtual cards by default, Qiwi Visa
Card continues as a standalone product as well.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Qiwi Visa Plastic Cards  are plastic cards that are delivered to a consumer via mail or courier services after purchase and can be used to make purchases online or in a physical retail environment through a
POS terminal from any merchant that accepts Visa branded cards. Qiwi Visa Plastic Cards can also be used to withdraw cash from a participating ATM, are linked to the balance of a consumers Visa Qiwi Wallet and are valid for 24 months.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Qiwi Visa co-branded cards are issued by Qiwi Bank pursuant to an agreement with Visa International Service Association.
Under the agreement, Qiwi Bank is authorized to issue Visa-branded prepaid cards within Russia, and to offer and perform Visa Direct transactions in and between Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Tajikistan and other CIS countries,
using Visas electronic payments processing network to deliver transferred funds.

In 2015 we have also launched a Visa payWave
contactless payment capabilities in Visa Qiwi Wallet based on host card emulation technology. This feature available for users of Android smartphones (4.4 or higher) broadens the scope of use of the wallet and allows customers to do a contactless
payment in any equipped offline location with the balance of his or her Visa Qiwi Wallet without issuing a plastic card.

Value Added Services

Our network of merchants and consumers and flexible technology platform enable us to introduce innovative, value added, high-margin products
and services that can generate more revenue per consumer. In November 2006, we started using the interfaces of our kiosks as an advertising medium, leveraging the strength of our network and the data that we receive from our consumers. We advertise
mostly in the form of pop-up ad banners in the kiosk interface that allow a consumer to enter a microsite with a detailed product description. Each kiosk has 12 advertising spaces on its screen. Additionally, at the end of a transaction where a
payment is made to an MNO we may send an SMS message to the consumer to confirm the specific transaction. This SMS message may also contain an advertisement of a product or service, provided the consumer has not opted out from receiving such
advertisements. We also allow advertisers to create a branded page in a subsection of the kiosk menu.

As a result of the general economic
downturn in Russia, which has adversely affected the advertising market, advertising revenue has become a smaller portion of overall revenue of our Group. We do not believe that advertising revenue will be significant to our Group in the near term,
and we are seeking to develop new value-added instruments and products to offer our customers.

Merchants

As of December 31, 2015, we had approximately 16,000 merchants active on a monthly basis in our system. Our merchants are vendors,
including mobile network operators, utilities, banks and online retailers. Consumers can access our larger merchants through hyperlink icons placed directly on kiosk screens. Other merchants can be easily accessed through Visa Qiwi Wallet and, since
any of our kiosks can be used as an interface to register a Visa Qiwi Wallet account or to access an existing one, the merchant offering is effectively the same for both kiosks and Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts. In addition, Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts
can be linked to virtual or physical Visa prepaid cards that can be used to make purchases at any merchant that accept Visa worldwide. We regularly add new merchants to our already extensive merchant list with the aim of creating a one-stop
shopping experience for our consumers.

Our merchants fall into five broad payment categories: E-commerce, Money Remittance,
Financial Services, Telecom and Other, according to the nature of the products and services they provide to the consumers. The following table shows the payment volume, payment adjusted net revenue and the payment average net revenue yield for each
of these payment categories.

E-commerce. E-commerce is one of our major merchant categories and mostly comprises of merchants that
sell their products and services online, including large international e-commerce merchants such as AliExpress, JD.com and eBay, local e-commerce merchants, social networks such as Vkontakte and Odnoklassniki, online game developers such as
Wargaming and Mail.ru and sport betting. We also accept payments on behalf of software producers, coupon websites, and numerous other merchants. Our kiosk and terminal network provides these businesses with an attractive offline interface to their
online services, while our Visa Qiwi Wallet provide their customers with a convenient, fast and secure payment option to make online purchases and top up their personal accounts.

Financial Services. Financial Services includes primarily banks, micro finance organizations and insurance companies. As of
December 31, 2015, we accepted payments on behalf of over 250 banks, including most major Russian retail banks such as Sberbank, VTB 24, Alfa-Bank, Tinkoff Credit Systems, Russian Standard Bank, Home Credit Bank, Promsvyazbank, Raiffeisen Bank
and others. Based on information available from public sources, we believe our kiosk and terminal network is larger than the ATM network of any major bank, and, as a result, we are able to provide banks with the ability to reach a larger market
through our network by enabling their customers to make deposits, replenish their cards and repay loans.

Money Remittance. Our
Money Remittance category includes major Russian and international money transfer merchants such as Western Union, Unistream, Post of Russia and Anelik. In June 2015, we acquired the Contact money transfer system, one of the largest operators on the
Russian money transfer market. This transaction allowed us to grow our market share by leveraging the ecosystem that we have built to date and offering our clients new, convenient services. From August 2010, we offer our consumers Visa Direct and
MasterCard Money Send services, which allow a Visa Qiwi Wallet accountholder to reload the account of a Visa or MasterCard bank card with a few clicks on our website, a mobile app, or a kiosk touch-screen, and with the only information required
being the number of the recipient card. Since 2015, we started offering our users similar services for China Union Pay bank cards.

Telecom. Telecom merchants include various telecommunication service providers, such as MNOs, internet services providers, pay
television channels and public utilities. MNOs, in particular the three largest operators in Russia, have historically represented the largest portion of our merchant base and are expected to continue to do so in terms of volumes for the foreseeable
future. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, the Big Three MNOs accounted for 32%, 26% and 19% of our payment volume, respectively. However, their share in our transaction volume has been falling over the last three years due
to the expansion of our merchant base and the increased use of our payment systems by the consumers for purposes other than mobile phone account reloading.

Other. Our Other category includes all other merchants to which we offer our payment processing services. These includes a broad range
of merchants in utilities and other government payments as well as charity organizations.

While we already have considerable penetration
with recurring payments merchants (such as MNOs and internet services providers), financial services providers and e-commerce businesses, there are numerous markets in which we see significant opportunity to add merchants. For example, we view
payments for fee-based services for federal, state and municipal authorities as a good point of market entry for new users as these authorities increasingly automate payments. We have already entered into direct agreements with the Federal Tax
Service, the State Traffic Safety Authority, the Independent Security Services Bureau of the Interior Ministrys Moscow Department, the Federal Bailiff Service and the Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography.

Our Technology Platform

Our services are based on our advanced, proprietary high-performing technology platform. All of our key technology has been developed in-house.
Our platform utilizes innovative Java and Scala -based architecture, which enables us to have scalable, clustered, fault tolerant processing system and various consumer, merchant and agent interfaces. In addition, the interfaces are connected to the
processing system through a secure protocol.

Hardware supporting our platform is hosted in two leased data centers (build in an
active-active mode and linked in a private data cloud, each capable of handling twice the usual traffic), located in a geographically distributed parts of Moscow. The data centers have been Payment Card Industry Digital Security Standard (PCI DSS)
certified, and one of them is ISO 27001 security standard compliant as well. We are able to switch our processing core between the data centers within three minutes. Furthermore, in order to support uninterruptible connectivity, we linked our
headquarters and both data centers via fiber optics with at least doubled lines between any two locations.

The principal software under
which the kiosks operate is our proprietary application called Maratl, which enables payment acceptance, proper billing and processing connectivity. Maratl is a cutting edge software that employs, among others, such technological features as
code-obfuscation and strong 3-layer proprietary cryptographic network protocols. Such security features enable kiosks and terminals to connect with any open communication network as the data flow is strongly protected. Our kiosks are not connected
to each other, thus reducing any network risks. Kiosk infrastructure including hardware, software and the network as a whole are certified with Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA DSS).

Visa Qiwi Wallet is the application that enables customers to pay online easily and quickly to thousands of merchants and services, using
either mobile or web interface. Our customers are also able to utilize card technologies using Qiwi Visa Plastic or Qiwi Visa Card - physical or virtual cards issued and linked to Visa Qiwi Wallet account balance or pure virtual cards with a stored
balance - Qiwi Visa Virtual.

We have a robust transaction intelligence system designed to trace and prevent suspicious transactions
inside our payment network. In the vast majority of cases, fraud through Visa Qiwi Wallet is attributable to scams rather than to a security system failure. We also employ a certified 3-D secure system similar to those adopted by other major payment
networks and banks. We have established a sophisticated system of security monitoring utilizing the Security Information and Event Management system (SIEM) and Security Operations Center (SOC), each of which are operating and supported continuously.
Our critical internal resources are protected with an advanced intrusion prevention system (IPS); all applications are protected with a web application firewall (WAF) set up in a blocking mode ensuring all unauthorized or ambiguous activities are
prohibited. Moreover, we have in-house forensic lab that assesses any potentially harmful events.

Our Framework Agreement with Visa dated
November 19, 2012 imposes stringent security requirements on us to protect the data of our consumers. Under the terms of this agreement, we are under an obligation to be compliant with Visa-approved security standards and to undergo periodic
assessments to certify such compliance. In particular, we have annual PCI DSS compliance audits fulfilled by qualified security assessors.

In July 2014, as a part of our strategic relationship with Visa we received VisaNet Processor status, which effectively allows us to process
Visa transactions on behalf of other Visa member banks.

Sales and Marketing

We have a dedicated team of sales and marketing personnel who seek to expand our network of agents and merchants, attract and maintain
consumers and promote our products. Our marketing program includes advertising campaigns as well as other promotional activities, such as joint loyalty programs with our merchants.

Brand Awareness

We believe our
brand is a household name in Russia. According to Synovate Comcom, Qiwi is the most recognized Russian brand among kiosk operators with prompted brand awareness of 92%, as well as in electronic payment services with a prompted brand
awareness of 93%.

In addition, we believe that in our sector maintaining a social media presence is important to sustaining brand
awareness. As a result, we have a dedicated team of people who regularly update our Facebook, Twitter, Vkontakte and LiveJournal accounts. We also use social networks to seek feedback from our consumers to improve our business.

As part of maintaining our brand image, we have employees available to respond to agent and merchant concerns and to handle consumer issues.

Advertising and Promotional Activities

Because we maintain a kiosk network as widespread and visible as ours, third-party advertising is not as important to maintain brand awareness.
We maintain a relatively low advertising profile, mostly employing Internet advertising to promote Visa Qiwi Wallet.

In addition, we engage in promotional campaigns together with our merchants, in which merchants
offer discounts to their customers who make payments through our network.

Competition

The most significant competitive factors in our business are speed, convenience, network size, accessibility, hours of operation, loyalty
programs, reliability and price. Our competitors include retail banks, non-traditional payment services providers (such as retailers and MNOs), traditional kiosk and terminal operators and electronic payment system operators as well as other
companies which provide various forms of payment services, including electronic payment and payment processing services.

We face
significant competition from major retail banks. Our competitors include, among others, Sberbank, Russias largest retail bank that is majority-owned by the Russian state, and Alfa-Bank, one of the leading privately owned Russian retail banks,
both of which have robust electronic payment products and large retail networks. Some retail banks are currently developing their own kiosk networks and are active in the area of electronic payment products.

We also face competition from major telecommunication and media devices retailers, including Euroset and Svyaznoy, which offer some financial
and payment services of third-party providers, such as instant money transfers, loan repayments, utilities payment and other services, and sell third-party insurance and consumer banking products, building on the strength of their retail networks.
We compete to an extent with the MNOs, which allow their subscribers to make instant payments using their mobile phone balances.

We also
potentially face competition from the Russian Post, due to its vast network of offices throughout Russia which accept payments for certain third-party services, including utilities and banking services, and their plans to build a bank on the
existing infrastructure.

Finally, we also compete against some directly comparable businesses, such as traditional kiosk and terminal
operators (primarily CyberPlat, Comepay and Elecsnet) and electronic payment system operators (primarily Yandex.Money (a majority stake of which is owned by Sberbank), WebMoney and, to a lesser extent, PayPal and AliPay).

Intellectual Property

Our intellectual
property rights are important to our business. We rely primarily on a combination of contract provisions, copyrights, trademarks, patents and trade secrets to protect our proprietary technology and other intellectual property.

Our in-house know-how is an important element of our intellectual property. Almost all of our key software has been developed in-house by our
employees. Accordingly, we seek to enter into confidentiality and copyright assignment agreements with our employees and consultants and confidentiality agreements with other third parties, and we rigorously control access to our proprietary
technology.

QIWI and QIWI-KIVI are registered trademarks in Russia and several countries around the world, including CIS
countries. A number of other applications for registration of our brand are still pending. We also hold copyrights for software applications, such as Maratl, Observer, Universal Payment Gateway Server, and
Universal Processing System. We have obtained copyright registrations for some of our key software in Russia, Brazil and in the United States.

the average number of employees for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 by function.

In 2014 we conducted an internal reorganization to change our organizational structure from a business unit
organizational structure where Qiwi Distribution and Visa Qiwi Wallet were largely managed as separate entities to a functional management structure where management is focused on centralized core operational tasks such as sales, marketing, IT,
legal, HR and finance. The reorganization was intended to better reflect the manner in which our business is managed.

In 2015, the main
driver underlying headcount growth was the acquisition of the Contact and Rapida businesses. Additionally, we have done a partial restructuring of several functions within our group which lead to changes in the functional responsibilities of certain
employees and their transfer from the Front Office to the Back Office and IT Personnel.

We place a high value on technological innovation and compete aggressively for talent. We strive
to hire the best software engineers, as well as talented sales, marketing and financial and administrative staff. We seek to create a dynamic, fulfilling work environment, encouraging participation, creativity, the exchange of ideas and teamwork. We
believe that our relations with our employees are good.

Regulation

We are subject to a number of laws and regulations in Russia and other jurisdictions that regulate payment services, anti-money laundering,
data protection and information security and advertising services. Qiwi Bank and Rapida LTD are also subject to numerous laws and regulations governing banking activities in Russia.

Regulation of Payment Services

The regulation of the payment services industry in Russia is relatively nascent. Laws and regulations specifically governing the industry have
recently been enacted but remain virtually untested. A legislative framework is not yet fully developed, and, moreover, is not universal, and various business models that payment services providers such as ourselves pursue are regulated differently.

Virtual wallet operations are legally considered cashless transfers with the use of bank cards. For regulatory purposes, when a Visa Qiwi
Wallet account is reloaded, the accountholder is issued one or several virtual prepaid cards, depending on the amount of the reload. While the accountholder agrees to the issuance of the cards through accepting a public offer, he or she is not
explicitly provided with details of each card. From a consumers perspective, the amount of the reload is simply transferred to an account of a digital wallet, whereas legally it becomes stored value of a virtual prepaid card.

A prepaid card is an electronic means of payment allowing its holder to carry out transfers of electronic money within the limits of the funds
previously deposited with the issuing credit institution. Amendments to the CBR Regulation No. 266-P On the Issuance of Bank Cards and Payment Cards Operations conferring the status of electronic means of payment on prepaid
cards were approved by the CBR Directive No. 2862-U, dated August 10, 2012, and came into effect on July 1, 2013. From that date, the legal regime of the prepaid cards is that established for electronic money by the Federal Law of the
Russian Federation No. 161-FZ On the National Payment System, dated June 27, 2011, as amended, or the Payment System Law.

Electronic money is defined under the Payment System Law as prepaid monetary value contributed by the provider to the
obligor of which a record is kept by the obligor without the opening of a bank account, which can be used for the settlement of the providers monetary obligations towards third parties, and in respect of which the provider may only
issue instructions via electronic means of payment. Electronic money is also treated as a liability of the obligor towards the provider. Electronic means of payment are defined as any methods and instruments which allow drawing up, certifying and
transmitting instructions for electronic money transfers and which employ information and telecommunication technologies, electronic data carriers and other technical devices. The Payment System Law classifies electronic means of payment into
personalized and non-personalized, depending on whether they allow for identification of the payer for the purposes of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 115-FZ On Combating the Legalization (Laundering) of Criminally Obtained
Income and Funding of Terrorism, dated August 7, 2001, as amended, or the Anti-Money Laundering Law. Any electronic money transfers are subject to thresholds on remaining electronic money balances, which amount to RUB 600,000 for
personalized means of payment and RUB 15,000 for non-personalized means of payment (or RUB 60,000 if the holder underwent a simplified identification procedure  see - The Anti-Money Laundering Law ). The total monthly turnover for
each non-personalized means of payment cannot exceed RUB 40,000 (or RUB 200,000 if the holder underwent a simplified identification procedure  see - The Anti-Money Laundering Law).

Under the Payment System Law, any electronic payments may only be made through so-called electronic money operators, which shall
necessarily be credit institutions. Qiwi Bank is an electronic money operator for payments made through Visa Qiwi Wallet. All electronic money operators are required to adopt their own regulations on electronic money transfers and report to the CBR
once they commence electronic money transfer operations.

The Payment System Law also establishes a legal framework for mobile payments,
which allow reloading the payers electronic money balance out of funds deposited as an advance payment with a mobile operator.

The
CBR is the agency commissioned with supervision of compliance with the provisions of the Payment System Law. As such, it is entitled to suspend the activities of market participants regulated by the Payment System Law in case of violations and
impose administrative liability on the offenders.

In May-October 2014, certain changes were introduced to the Payment System Law that
mandated the creation of a Russian national payment cards system (NSPK) and required that starting March 31, 2015, all transactions with the use of cards issued under international brands, such as Visa and MasterCard, be processed through the
facilities of the national payment card system rather than the international payment systems own facilities. There are different types of memberships in MasterCard and Visa payment systems. Each type of membership has a certain range of powers
and responsibilities. As a principal member of Visa, Qiwi Bank has to set up connectivity to NSPK systems and all outgoing and incoming transactions of Qiwi Bank on cards operated by international payment systems are currently processed through
NSPK. Rapida LTD is an affiliate member of MasterCard and therefore all its outgoing and incoming transactions on cards operated by international payment systems are processed through sponsor-bank that has joined NSPK. Thus, Rapida LTD is not
required to set up direct connectivity to NSPK systems. JSC QIWI, as operator of our kiosk network, is deemed to be a payment agent in accordance with the Federal

Law of the Russian Federation No. 103-FZ On Collection of Payments from Individuals by the Payment Agents, dated June 3, 2009, as amended, or the Payment Agents Law. The
Payment Agents Law is inapplicable to electronic payments and thus does not regulate our Visa Qiwi Wallet business. The Payment Agents Law defines payment agents as intermediaries that collect payments due from individuals to merchants.

The Payment Agents Law only applies to services providers such as JSC QIWI that process cash payments without having the status of a credit
institution (under Russian law, credit institutions include banks and non-banking credit institutions which are entitled to carry out a limited number of banking operations) and thus are not regulated by banking legislation. Merchants on whose
behalf payment agents may accept payments include legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, as well as state and municipal authorities and budget-funded entities that provide fee-based services in furtherance of their functions.

The Payment Agents Law requires payment agents to comply with the Anti-Money Laundering Law. A payment agent may only act as such once it
registers with the government authority responsible for compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering Law (currently, the Federal Service for Financial Monitoring, or Rosfinmonitoring).

A payment agent acts on the basis of an agency agreement with the merchant. Such agency agreements are governed by the Russian Civil Code,
certain provisions of which are described in more detail below. A payment agent may also engage sub-agents (referred to as payment sub-agents under the Payment Agents Law) if the agency agreement so provides. Our agents act as payment
sub-agents for the purposes of the Payment Agents Law. Payment sub-agents may not accept payments that require identification of the customer pursuant to the Anti-Money Laundering Law. Under the Anti-Money Laundering Law, such customer
identification is required for all money transfers exceeding RUB 15,000, while at least a simplified identification process is required for any peer-to-peer money transfers and transfers to foreign merchants.

The payment agents obligation to transmit the funds to the merchant is required to be either insured or secured by means of a pledge,
guarantee, or otherwise. The amount of such insurance or security is not statutorily fixed, and there are no other guidelines regarding this requirement.

Acceptance of payments on behalf of certain types of merchants, including foreign entities, is carved out from the scope of the Payment Agents
Law. This does not imply that a company which has the status of a payment agent is prohibited from accepting payments on behalf of such merchants. However, activities in this regard are not regulated by the Payment Agents Law, but rather by the
universally applicable provisions of the Russian Civil Code pertaining to agency agreements. In particular, the Civil Code contains certain basic requirements for agency agreements, including their conditions and their termination and sets out rules
pertaining to certain rights of the agent and the principal and allocation of various responsibilities between them. Agency services may not be provided free of charge. The Civil Code permits agency agreements to include exclusivity clauses. Agency
agreements may be entered into for fixed or indefinite periods of time. However, if an agency agreement is entered into for an indefinite period of time, it may be terminated unilaterally at the discretion of either counterparty.

The Payment Agents Law provides that payment agents are entitled to levy fees from the merchants customers for each transaction
processed by them. These fees are not statutorily capped, although proposals to cap them are from time to time considered by the Russian legislature.

Payment agents are required to use cash registering facilities with a built-in fiscal memory and a reference tape (an electronic device which
allows long-term storage of records of transactions performed through a kiosk), in order to monitor payments received. They are also required to issue receipts for each transaction.

The Payment Agents Law requires both the payment agent and the merchant serviced by it to maintain segregated bank accounts for the purpose of
depositing funds received from the customers and from the payment agent, respectively. All funds received by a payment agent need to be deposited into such specialized accounts.

Although the CBR authority in respect of monitoring the activities of the payment agents is limited to collection, systematization and
analysis of industry data, the CBR activities may have indirect impact on payment agents. For instance, in April 2015 the CBR issued recommendations to credit institutions to enhance their scrutiny over the compliance by the payment agents with
legislation that requires them to remit their proceeds to special accounts, which resulted in a decline in the number of our active kiosks.

Banking
Regulation

Our Qiwi Bank and Rapida LTD are credit institutions and are accordingly subject to the following financial
services-related laws and regulations:

The Banking Law

Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 395-1 On Banks and Banking Activity, dated December 2, 1990, as amended,
or the Banking Law, is the main law regulating the Russian banking sector. Among other things, it defines credit institutions, sets forth the list of banking operations and other transactions that credit institutions may engage in, and establishes
the framework for the registration and licensing of credit institutions and the regulation of banking activity by the CBR.

##### Table of Contents

The Banking Law provides for a list of the so-called banking operations that cannot
be conducted without an appropriate license from the CBR, including, among others, accepting deposits, opening and maintaining bank accounts, performing money transfers from and to bank accounts of the clients, and performing money (including
electronic money) transfers without opening a bank account (other than postal transfers), etc. The latter type of banking operations is the only one that Qiwi Bank and Rapida LTD pursue as a main line of business, although Qiwi Bank is also entitled
to accept deposits from individuals and legal entities, invest the funds received in the form of deposits, maintain accounts for individuals and legal entities and perform settlements through their bank accounts, perform teller and cash collection
services, sell and purchase currency and issue bank guarantees, while Rapida LTD is also entitled to maintain accounts for legal entities and perform settlements through their bank accounts, perform teller and cash collection services, sell and
purchase currency in a non-cash form.

Role of the CBR

The CBR operates under the Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 86-FZ On the Central Bank of the Russian Federation,
dated July 10, 2002, as amended, or the CBR Law. The CBR is a legal entity and is operationally independent from the Russian government. The CBR has a head office in Moscow and regional branches in the constituent entities of the Russian
Federation, as well as local branches.

Pursuant to the CBR Law, the Banking Law and the Federal Law of the Russian Federation
No. 173-FZ On Currency and Currency Regulation, dated December 10, 2003, as amended, or the Currency Law, the CBR has the authority to issue and implement binding regulations governing banking and currency operations. The
CBRs main functions include determination and implementation of the monetary policy of the Russian Federation in cooperation with the Russian government, regulation and oversight of the banking sector in a quasi-state agency capacity, certain
limited banking operations and transactions, issuance of currency and regulation of its circulation, regulation of foreign currency operations in the Russian Federation and foreign currency operations conducted by Russian residents abroad, and
domestic government debt service and federal budget administration. The CBR also carries out supervision and monitoring of the national payment system. On September 1, 2013, the CBR was designated as the regulator for the financial and
securities markets in Russia.

Capital Requirements

The key measure underlying Russian capital requirements is the amount of the capital base (own funds) of a credit institution, which is defined
as the sum of the main capital and additional capital of the credit institution minus certain obligations as determined by the CBR. According to the CBR Regulation No. 395-P, dated December 28, 2012, as
amended, the main capital and the additional capital of a credit institution is defined by way of an exhaustive list of different types of debt and equity that qualify for treatment as main and additional capital, as applicable.

The Banking Law establishes minimum charter capital and capital base for banks. Under the Banking Law, the minimum charter capital for
newly-established banks is equivalent to RUB 300 million. The capital base of a credit institution must not be less than RUB 300 million, subject to certain exemptions. If a banks capital base becomes less than its charter
capital, it must increase its capital base (or, if impossible, reduce its charter capital) accordingly. The CBR Directive No. 1260-U, dated March 24, 2003, as amended, establishes the procedures for such adjustment.

As of December 31, 2015, Qiwi Bank and Rapida LTD had a charter capital of RUB 295 million and RUB 2.9 million correspondingly
and a capital base of approximately RUB 1,384 million and RUB 599 million correspondingly. Qiwi Bank and Rapida LTD are in compliance with applicable banking legislation.

Reserve Requirements

Under the CBR Law,
the CBRs board of directors may establish reserve requirements for credit institutions. Reserve requirements must not exceed 20% of the banks liabilities and may vary for different types of banks. Banks are currently required to post
mandatory reserves with the CBR to be held in non-interest bearing accounts. Starting from March 1, 2013, such reserves constitute 4.25% for all types of liabilities.

Russian credit institutions are required to calculate the exact amount of their mandatory reserves in accordance with CBR Regulation No.342-P
dated August 7, 2009, as amended, for the year of 2015 and CBR Regulation No. 507-P dated December 1, 2015 for the year of 2016, or the Reserves Regulation. The Reserves Regulation also requires banks to report the calculation of
reserves to the CBR and its regional branches promptly after the end of each calendar month, as well as to post additional reserves if necessary.

The Reserves Regulations allow the CBR to fine a bank that fails to comply with reserve requirements and debit the insufficient reserve from
its correspondent account with the CBR. The amount of the fine is calculated on the basis of the actual shortage of the reserves. The CBR and its regional branches may also conduct audits to assess a banks compliance with the reserve
requirements.

As of December 31, 2015, Qiwi Banks and Rapidas LTD reserves amounted to 4.25% of their liabilities owed
to legal entities that are non-residents and 4.25% of liabilities towards individuals and other liabilities and they were in compliance with applicable legislation.

Qiwi Bank and Rapida LTD are, and have been for the financial periods covered in this annual
report, in material compliance with applicable reserve requirements. The reserve requirements of the CBR negatively impact Qiwi Banks and Rapida LTDs ability to distribute their profit to their shareholders in the form of dividends.

Qiwi Bank and Rapida LTD are in compliance with applicable reserves requirements.

Loss Provisions

The CBR regulates the
creation of provisions for bank loan and other losses. CBR Regulation No. 254-P On the Procedure for Making Provisions for Possible Losses on Loans and Similar Indebtedness by Credit Institutions, dated March 26, 2004, as
amended, requires credit institutions to adopt procedures for calculating and posting provisions for loan losses and for possible losses other than loan losses, which may include losses from investments in securities, funds held in correspondent
accounts of other banks, contingent liabilities and other transactions. CBR Instruction No. 283-P, dated March 20, 2006, as amended, requires credit institutions to classify such activities into five risk categories and to make provisions
in the corresponding amount at their discretion. Credit institutions must report to the CBR the amount of new non-loan provisions within seven days after the end of each reporting month. The CBR and its regional branches monitor credit
institutions compliance with these rules.

Although Qiwi Bank and Rapida LTD do not engage in retail or corporate lending as a line
of business, they have a limited amount of loans and maintain provisions for certain other possible losses, including losses from default by counterparties, impairment of assets and liability increases, and is in compliance with applicable
legislation.

Prudential Ratios

CBR
Instruction No. 139-I On Banks Mandatory Prudential Ratios, dated December 3, 2012, as amended, establishes mandatory prudential ratios for banks. Key mandatory economic ratios that banks must observe on a daily basis and
periodically report to the CBR include capital adequacy ratio, instant liquidity ratio, current liquidity ratio, long-term liquidity ratio, maximum exposure to a single borrower or a group of affiliated borrowers, maximum exposure to major credit
risks, maximum amount of loans, bank guarantees and sureties extended by the bank to its participants (shareholders), aggregate amount of exposure to the banks insiders, ratio for the use of the banks capital base to acquire shares
(participation interests) in other legal entities. Failure to comply with the prudential ratios may lead to negative consequences for the bank, including revocation of the banking license.

CBR Instruction No. 129-I On Banking Operations and Other Transactions by Non-Banking Credit Institutions, Mandatory Prudential
Ratios for Non-Banking Credit Institutions and the Specifics of Bank of Russia Supervision of their Compliance dated April 26, 2006, as amended, establishes mandatory prudential ratios for non-banking credit institutions. Key mandatory
economic ratios that non-banking credit institutions must observe on a daily basis and periodically report to the CBR include capital adequacy ratio, current liquidity ratio, maximum exposure to a single borrower or a group of affiliated borrowers.
Failure to comply with the prudential ratios may lead to negative consequences for the non-banking credit institution, including revocation of the banking license.

As of December 31, 2015, prudential ratios of Qiwi Bank and Rapida LTD were well in excess of the minimum thresholds imposed by the CBR.
Qiwi Bank and Rapida LTD are in compliance with applicable legislation.

Reporting Requirements

Under the Banking Law and the CBR Regulation No. 2332-U, dated November 12, 2009, as amended, a substantial amount of routine
reporting is performed by credit institutions on a regular and non-regular basis, including disclosure of financial statements, various operational indicators, affiliates and persons who exercise (directly or indirectly) influence over the decisions
taken by the management bodies of the credit institution. According to the CBR Law, the CBR may at any time conduct full or selective audits of any credit institutions filings and may inspect all of its books and records.

Under the Banking Law and the CBR Regulation No. 3876-U, dated December 03, 2015, as amended, banking holdings such as ourselves
(i.e., groups of legal entities in which a legal entity that is not a credit institution, directly or indirectly, controls decisions of the management bodies of a credit institution within such groups, such as Qiwi Bank and Rapida LTD) must
regularly disclose their consolidated financial statements and provide to CBR certain additional information regarding the business operations and financial condition of the group in order for the CBR to assess their risks.

Regulation of Mergers and Acquisitions of Credit Institutions in Russia

In addition to the general merger control requirements, acquisitions of shares or participation interests in
credit institutions are also subject to certain industry-specific regulations. Under the Banking Law and the CBR Law, the purchase or receipt on trust of over 1% of the shares or participation interests in a credit institution by a person (or its
group) must be reported to the CBR post-closing, while a pre-closing approval of the CBR is required whenever a person (or group) acquires, directly or indirectly, more than 10%, 25%, 50% or 75% of the voting shares in a credit institution
incorporated as a joint stock company (or more than 1/10, 1/3, 1/2 or 2/3 of participation interests in a limited liability company). The requirements for obtaining pre-closing approvals of the CBR are set out in detail in the CBR Instruction
On the Procedure for Obtaining the CBRs Approval for the Purchase of the Shares (Participation Interests) in a Credit Institution No. 146-I, dated October 25, 2013, or the 146-I Instruction.



48



---

##### Table of Contents

This requirement is also applicable to acquisitions of control over intermediary holding
companies with ownership interests in credit institutions. Accordingly, any acquisition of control over our company would need to be pre-approved by the CBR due to our ownership of Qiwi Bank.

The review period is 30 days from the date of the application. The CBR may refuse to grant its consent if the applicant has an unsatisfactory
business reputation, is in unsatisfactory financial condition, or has failed to obtain approval of the Federal Antimonopoly Service, or the FAS, or of the governmental commission if required by the Federal Law of the Russian Federation
No. 57-FZ On the Procedure for Foreign Investments in Enterprises which are Strategically Important for the State Defense and National Security, dated April 29, 2008, as amended, or the Strategic Enterprise Law, before filing
with the CBR.

Additionally, subject to certain exemptions, a 50% quota on foreign ownership in the total share capital of the aggregate
number of Russian credit institutions was introduced in December 2015. If such quota is exceeded, a takeover of our company by a foreign purchaser may become impossible, which could limit, prevent or delay a change of control of our company and in
turn could negatively impact the liquidity of our ADSs.

The Anti-Money Laundering Law

The Anti-Money Laundering Law was adopted to comply with the requirements of the Financial Action Task Force, or the FATF, an
inter-governmental body developing and promoting policies to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. It covers a broad scope of companies which can be designated as financial services providers, including credit institutions and payment
agents. The Anti-Money Laundering Law contains a number of requirements that these companies have to comply with, including, among other things, the development of appropriate internal standards and procedures, client identification, control over
client operations and reporting of suspicious activities.

Under the Anti-Money Laundering Law, one of the main obligations of a financial
services provider is the control function, which involves identification of the clients, gathering information on client operations and reporting of certain operations to Rosfinmonitoring. The Anti-Money Laundering Law requires the
performance of verification procedures in the event of any operations in the amount of RUB 600,000 or more (or its equivalent in foreign currencies) where such operations involve:



| |  |  | cash transactions;
| | - |  | ------------------



| |  |  | certain transactions where one of the counterparties is resident in a country that does not participate in international efforts to combat money-laundering, or employs a bank account maintained in such country;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | certain operations in relation to bank accounts or deposits where the beneficiary is not identified;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | deposits to or debiting the money from the account of legal entities, where such legal entity has been in existence for less than three months or where no operations have been performed with such bank account from the
date of its opening; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | certain other transactions with moveable property involving, among other things, money transfers by companies which are not credit institutions.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, financial services providers must carry out these procedures in the event of any operation involving an individual or
organization that is known to participate in extremist or terrorist activities. If the officers of a financial services provider suspect that an operation is conducted in order to legalize any funds received from illegal activities or to finance
terrorist activities, such operations must be reported to Rosfinmonitoring whether or not they qualify as controlled operations. Financial services providers must not inform their clients that transactions are being reported to Rosfinmonitoring.

Financial services providers are generally required to identify their clients. However, certain transactions are exempt from the
identification requirements under the Anti-Money Laundering Law, unless officers of a financial service provider suspect that such operation is carried out to legalize funds received from illegal activities or to finance terrorism. Money transfers
by individuals not exceeding RUB 15,000 are generally exempt from the identification requirement, but since May 5, 2014, peer-to-peer transfer and transfers to foreign entities and certain kinds of non-profits require at least a simplified
identification of the customer regardless of the amount. The key difference between the simplified procedure and the procedure that must be followed in all other circumstances is that simplified identification can be performed remotely. However, the
simplified identification process is still not well defined and the public databases that such remote identification is supposed to be based on are still not entirely operational, which could cause us to be in violation of the identification
requirements. The identification requirements of the Anti-Money Laundering Law only pertain to individual transactions and not series of transactions.

Intellectual Property Regulation

The Civil Code of Russia (Part IV) is the basic law in Russia that governs intellectual property rights, including their protection and
enforcement. According to it, the software and technologies that we develop internally generally do not require registration and enjoy legal protection simply by virtue of being created and either publicly disclosed or existent in a certain material
form. In addition, we obtain



49

##### Table of Contents

proprietary rights to materials that are subject to copyright protection and that are created for us on the basis of agreements with the authors of such materials. Also, subject to compliance
with the requirements of the Civil Code, we are deemed to have acquired any copyrights created by our employees during the course of their employment with us and within the scope of their job functions, and have the exclusive rights to their further
use and disposal.

Under Russian law, the registration of copyrighted materials is not required. Software may be registered by a copyright
holder, at its discretion, with the Russian Federal Service for Intellectual Property, Patents and Trademarks, or Rospatent, but such registration is not customary. We normally register software that we develop with Rospatent. We also hold copyright
registrations for some of our software in the United States.

Only trademarks and patents for inventions, utility models and industrial
designs require mandatory registration with the Rospatent. Trademarks registered abroad under the Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Trademarks, dated April 14, 1891 and/or the Protocol to the Agreement, dated
June 27, 1989, have equal legal protection in Russia as locally registered trademarks. Our main brands are registered as trademarks in Russia, the CIS and several other countries where we operate.

Advertising Regulation

The
principal Russian law governing advertising, including advertising on the kiosks and terminals, is the Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 38-FZ On Advertising,, dated March 13, 2006, as amended, or the Advertising
Law. The Advertising Law provides for a wide array of restrictions, prohibitions and limitations pertaining to contents and methods of advertising.

Set forth below is a non-exhaustive list of types and methods of advertising that are prohibited regardless of the advertised product and the
advertising medium:



| |  |  | advertising that may induce criminal, violent or cruel behavior;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | advertising that judges or otherwise humiliates those who do not use the advertised product;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | use of pornographic or indecent materials in advertising;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | use of foreign words that may lead to the advertising being misleading;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | statements that the advertised product has been approved by state and municipal authorities or officials;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | depiction of smoking and alcohol consumption;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | advertising of healing properties of a product that is not a registered medicine or medical service; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | omission of material facts that leads to advertising being misleading.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

The law also prohibits
advertisements for certain regulated products and services without appropriate certification, licensing or approval. Advertisements for products such as alcohol, tobacco, pharmaceuticals, baby food, financial instruments or securities and financial
services, as well as incentive sweepstakes and advertisements aimed at minors, must comply with specific rules and must in certain cases contain specified disclosure.

Russian advertising laws define and prohibit, among other things, unfair, untrue and hidden advertising
(i.e. advertising that influences consumers without their knowledge). Advertising based on improper comparisons of the advertised products with products sold by other sellers is deemed unfair. It is also prohibited to advertise goods, which may not
be produced and distributed under Russian law.

In addition, the distribution of advertisements using telecommunications devices, such as
advertisements over short messaging, requires the consent of the recipient of the ad, which we receive through having the customer agree to a public offer before making a transaction through one of our kiosks. The Advertising Law does not
specifically regulate advertising through kiosks.

In some cases, violation of the Advertising Law can lead to civil actions or
administrative penalties.

Privacy and Personal Data Protection Regulation

We are subject to laws and regulations regarding privacy and protection of the user data, including the Federal Law of the Russian Federation
No. 152-FZ On Personal Data, dated July 27, 2006, as amended, or the Personal Data Law. The Personal Data Law, among other things, requires that an individual must consent to the processing (i.e. any action or
combination of actions performed on personal data, including the collection, recording, systematization, accumulation, storage, use, transfer (distributing, providing or authorizing access to), blocking, deleting and destroying) of his/her personal
data and must provide this consent before such data is processed. Generally, the Personal Data Law does not require the consent to be in writing but requires it to be in any form that, from an evidential perspective, sufficiently attests to the fact
that it has been obtained.



50



---

##### Table of Contents

However, the consent must be in writing in certain cases, including: (i) where the
processing relates to special categories of personal data (regarding the subjects race, nationality, political views, religion, philosophical beliefs, health conditions or intimate information); (ii) where the processing of personal data
relates to any physiological and biological characteristics of the subject which can help to establish the identity of the subject (such as, for example, biometric personal data); (iii) cross-border transfers to a state that does not provide
adequate protection of rights of subjects; and (iv) the reporting or transferring of an employees personal data to a third party, etc. The written consent of subjects must meet a number of formal requirements and must be signed by
holographic or electronic signature. In other cases, the consent may be in any form that, from an evidential perspective, attests to the fact that it has been obtained.

We obtain consents from our users by asking them to click an icon indicating their consent to us processing their personal data.

On September 1, 2015, amendments to Personal Data Law became effective that require any personal data of Russian citizens to be stored
within the territory of the Russian Federation. Since all our data centers used to store such personal data are located in the Russian Federation, we are not impacted by this requirement.

Failure to comply with legislation on personal data may lead to civil, criminal, disciplinary and administrative liability, and an obligation
to terminate or procure the termination of any wrongful processing of personal data.

Antimonopoly Regulation

Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 135-FZ On Protection of Competition dated July 26, 2006, as amended, or the
Competition Law, grants to the FAS as the antimonopoly regulator wide powers and authorities to ensure competition in the market, including approval or monitoring of mergers and acquisitions, establishment of rules of conduct for market players that
occupy dominant positions, prosecution any wrongful abuse of a dominant position, and the prevention of cartels and other anti-competitive agreements or practices. The regulator may impose significant administrative fines on market players that
abuse their dominant position or otherwise restrict competition, and is entitled to challenge contracts, agreements or transactions that are performed in violation of the antimonopoly regulation. We have a substantial market share in the kiosks and
terminals and electronic payments markets, but are not recognized by the regulator as occupying a dominant position since these markets are relatively new. However, we understand that the regulator could in the future focus on the markets that we
are active in, and could identify dominant players and impose conduct limitations and other requirements on them.

The Competition Law
expressly provides for its extraterritorial application to transactions which are made outside of Russia but lead, or may lead, to the restriction of competition in Russia and which relate to assets located on the territory of Russia, to the shares
(or participation interests) in Russian companies or rights in relation to such companies, shares in or rights in relation to foreign target companies which had sales to Russia of at least RUB 1 billion for the year preceding the year in
which the transaction is consummated.

The Competition Law provides for mandatory pre-approval by the FAS of mergers, acquisitions,
company formations and certain other transactions involving companies which meet certain financial thresholds. Certain specific rules and thresholds are provided by the Competition Law in relation to pre-approval by the FAS of acquisitions of
financial services providers, which, under the Competition Law, include credit institutions, but do not include payment agents. Different thresholds apply to transactions with other financial entities as targets.

The Competition Law stipulates certain carve-outs from this rule providing for post-transactional notification to the FAS instead of FAS
pre-approval. Additionally, it imposes financial thresholds for transactions that, while not subject to a pre-approval, are subject to mandatory post-transactional notification. Intra-group transfers are generally notifiable; however, there are
certain exceptions to the Competition Law in this respect.

Under the Competition Law, if an acquirer has acted in violation of the merger
control rules and, for example, acquired shares without obtaining the prior approval of the FAS, the transaction may be invalidated by a court order initiated by the FAS, provided that such transaction has led or may lead to the restriction of
competition, for example, by means of strengthening of a dominant position in the relevant market.

More generally, Russian legislation
provides for civil, administrative and criminal liability for the violation of antimonopoly legislation.

Regulation of Strategic Investments

The Strategic Enterprise Law provides that an acquisition by a foreign investor (or a group of persons including a foreign
investor) of direct or indirect control over a company holding encryption license requires prior approval of a specialized governmental commission. The approval process usually takes between three and six months. Qiwi Bank and Rapida LTD hold
encryption licenses, which are necessary to conduct their operations, and by virtue of this may be deemed to be a strategic enterprise.

Under the Strategic Enterprise Law, a person is deemed to have control over a strategic enterprise if, among other things, such person
controls, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the total number of votes attributable to the voting shares comprising the share capital of such strategic enterprise. Where the purchaser is a foreign state, foreign governmental organization,
international organization or entity controlled by a foreign government, or international organization, the threshold for obtaining a preliminary approval is more than 25% of the voting power. In addition, investors that are controlled by a foreign
state or a foreign government or international organization are prohibited from owning more than 50% of the voting power of a strategic enterprise. Failure to obtain the required governmental approval prior to an acquisition would render the
acquisition null and void.



51



---

##### Table of Contents

The Strategic Enterprise Law is not clear on how to interpret indirect control over a
strategic enterprise and in what circumstances an acquisition of shares in the holding company of a strategic enterprise would represent an indirect acquisition of shares in the latter and, consequently, require approval of the
specialized governmental commission. Although a view can be taken that an indirect acquisition takes place if a foreign investor acquires over 50% of the shares in the holding company of a strategic enterprise or otherwise obtains
control over the holding company, there is no assurance that Russian state authorities would not interpret it differently and apply a lower threshold to the acquisition of such holding company.

|A. | Operating Results
|-- | -----------------

Overview

We are a leading provider of next generation payment services in Russia and the CIS. We have an integrated proprietary network that enables
payment services across physical, online and mobile channels. We operate in target markets and customer segments that are largely cash-based and lack convenient alternatives for consumers to pay for goods and services in physical, online and mobile
environments.

We have built a physical network of over 172,000 kiosks and terminals using a proprietary agent model. Under this model,
our kiosks and terminals are built with our proprietary specifications and technology by third party manufacturers and then purchased and managed by approximately 6,500 agents responsible for placing, operating and servicing the kiosks in
high-traffic, convenient retail locations. We also distribute our payment services online through our virtual Visa Qiwi Wallet product, which enables consumers to access and make payments through their computers or mobile devices. The payments
processed through our network are typically very small with a limit of RUB 15,000 per transaction, and since they are primarily funded with cash, consumers do not have to go through a lengthy registration process to execute most transactions.

Our primary source of revenue is fees we receive for processing payments made by consumers to merchants, which we refer to as payment
processing fees, typically based on a percentage of the size of the transactions that we process, which we refer to as payment volume. We refer to payment processing fees that are paid to us by merchants for collecting payments on their behalf as
merchant fees and to payment processing fees that are paid by our consumers directly to us or transmitted to us by our agents as consumer fees. We typically pass on a portion of the merchant fees to our agents.

In September 2010, we acquired Qiwi Bank, which provides the issuing, acquiring and deposit settlement functions of our group. In addition, in
2015 we acquired Rapida LTD, which operates payment processing and money transfer settlements within our group.

|(1) | We measure the numbers of our kiosks and terminals on a daily basis, with only those kiosks and terminals being taken into calculation through which at least one payment has been processed during the day, which we refer
to as active kiosks and terminals. The period end numbers of our kiosks and terminals are calculated as an average of the amount of active kiosks and terminals for the last 30 days of the respective reporting period.

|(2) | Number of active Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts is defined as the number of wallets through which at least one payment has been made or that have been loaded or reloaded in the 12 months preceding the end of the relevant
reporting period.

Number of active kiosks and terminals. We measure the numbers of our kiosks and terminals on a daily basis, with only those kiosks and
terminals being taken into calculation through which at least one payment has been processed during the day, which we refer to as active kiosks and terminals. The period end numbers of our kiosks and terminals are calculated as an average of the
amount of active kiosks and terminals for the last 30 days of the respective reporting period. From December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015, we have decreased our number of kiosks from 142,000 to 115,000 and increased the number of
terminals from 38,000 to 57,000. Our kiosks and terminals can be found next to convenience stores, in train stations, post offices, retail stores and airport terminals in all major urban cities as well as many small and rural towns that lack large
bank branches and other financial infrastructure. While the number of our kiosks was significantly affected by the recent regulation developments (see Item 3.D Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our Business and Industry A decline in the
use of cash as a means of payment or a decline in the use of kiosks and terminals may result in a reduced demand for our services) we maintain the breadth of our network and aim to further increase our share of the market.

Number of active Visa Qiwi Wallet accounts. Number of active wallets represents the number of wallets through which at least one
payment has been made or which has been loaded in the 12 months preceding the end of the relevant reporting period. Number of active wallets is a measure of our success in penetrating the market and expanding our virtual distribution channels. Our
strategy is primarily focused on the volume per Visa Qiwi Wallet growth, and we believe we are able to leverage our large, active base of over 67 million consumers who use our kiosks and terminals at least once a month and our brand recognition
and presence on social media platforms to drive the adoption and usage of the Visa Qiwi Wallet.

Payment volume. Total volume
provides a measure of the overall size and growth of our business, and increasing our payment volumes is essential to growing our profitability. Payment volumes have consistently increased for the periods under review in this annual report. Payment
volumes have grown at a CAGR of 25% from 2013 through 2015; with payment volumes of RUB 873 billion for the year ended 2015. The following factors may have a significant impact on the growth of payment volume:

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | Russian economy. We carry out our operations primarily in Russia. Macroeconomic conditions in Russia significantly impact the volume of payments made by our consumers. During periods of economic growth, overall
consumer spending tends to increase along with rises in wealth, and during economic downturns, consumer spending tends to correspondingly decline. In 2015 we have experienced negative pressure on our payment volumes in particular in financial
services following the depreciation of the ruble and the general economic downturn, which affected overall consumer lending market, and to a lesser extent in money remittance which is affected by shifting migration trends.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Use of cash as a means of payment. Changes in the aggregate use of cash as a means of payment is an important variable affecting our revenues. Cash payments are the principal form of payment in Russia, and, as a
result, a majority of our payment volumes are cash-based. We expect cash payments to continue to be the principal means of payment in Russia and to sustain demand for use of our kiosks and terminals in the near future. As cash payments in Russia
grow in absolute terms, we expect our payment volumes to correspondingly increase. If the use of cash as a mean of payment declines in Russia, it would negatively impact our financial results.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Increase in the volume of online transactions and the use of alternative payment methods. The volume of online transactions has grown considerably in the recent years and continues to grow. Similarly, we expect
the use of both banking cards and alternative payment methods in Russia, such as smartphones to grow considerably. We believe that growth in online transactions and alternative payment methods will be an important driver in increasing the number of
potential merchants for which we can offer payment services and in increasing the potential number our users. However, the rapid development of banking card transactions in online could hinder the growth in alternative payment methods.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Consumer adoption. We have actively sought new merchants to offer consumers more payment choices when using our products. We believe that growth of merchant network will lead to more consumers using our payment
systems more frequently. In addition, we actively encourage consumers to use multiple distribution channels, in particular, for users of our kiosks and terminals network to create a Visa Qiwi Wallet account. We believe that the synergies offered
between our physical and virtual distribution networks will help enhance consumer adoption of our services in the future.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Average net revenue yield. We calculate total average net revenue yield by dividing adjusted net revenue by payment volume. Average net
revenue yield provides a measure of our ability to generate net revenue per unit of volume we process. Average net revenue yield was 1.10%, 1.37% and 1.17% in 2013, 2014, and 2015, respectively. In 2015, average net revenue yield declined by
20 bps in comparison to 2014 primarily as a result of consolidation of Contact and Rapida businesses partly offset by increase in payment volumes associated with higher revenue generating transactions such as e-commerce. The following factors
have influenced average net revenue yield:



| |  |  | Between 2013 and 2015, we have experienced a decline in merchant fees from our larger retail merchants, in particular the Big Three MNOs.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We have experienced a changing business mix towards higher yielding transactions which are primarily e-commerce and various types of financial transactions, whereas lower yielding transaction, such as telecoms, have
declined as a percentage of total payment volume.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A significant proportion of the merchants that we serve (particularly e-commerce) are typically retailers, with limited bargaining power from which we may be able to charge higher payment processing fees. We expect
that, as our merchant base continues to grow and diversify, these merchants will have a larger effect on payment volume and, consequently, on average net revenue yield.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In 2015 our net revenue yield was diluted by the acquisition of Contact and Rapida businesses that historically operated with significantly lower net revenue yields than Qiwi.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sources of Revenue

Our primary source of
revenue is payment processing fees. In addition, we derive revenue from interest revenue, gain from currency swaps, cash and settlement services, rent of space for and sale of kiosks, advertising, interest revenue from agents overdrafts, and
other revenue.

Payment processing fees. Payment processing fees constitute the substantial majority of our revenue and comprise
fees charged for processing payments typically based on a percentage of the total volume of each payment. A majority of our payment processing fees are paid to us by merchants for collecting payments on their behalf, which we refer to as merchant
fees, and the fees paid by consumers, which we refer to as consumer fees. We typically pass on a portion of the merchants fees to our agents. In certain situations, we may not receive any merchant fees, for example, when a merchant is a government
body. We generally recognize merchant fees gross at the point when merchants accept payments from the consumer. Consumer fees fall into two categories  those collected by us directly and those collected by our agents. We recognize revenue from
consumer fees charged through Visa Qiwi Wallet as well as most revenue from consumer fees charged through our kiosks and terminals gross at the point when the consumer makes a payment.

Other sources of revenue. In addition to payment processing fees, we generate revenue from
various other sources including cash and settlement services (representing revenue from different types of support and services that we provide to our agents), advertising revenue (representing revenue from displaying advertising on our kiosks,
through short message service and various messengers), interest revenue on agents overdrafts (representing revenue from interest earned on amounts of credit that we provide to our agents for them to be able to operate within our network),
interest revenue and gain from currency swaps (representing revenue from interest earned on cash deposits with financial institutions, and short- and long-term investments performed as a part of our treasury operations), revenue from sale of kiosks
to our agents, revenue from rent of space for kiosks (representing revenue from rent obtained for subleasing retail space for kiosks to our agents) and other revenue (representing revenue primarily generated from such operations as promotional
campaign fees generated from software licensing for our processing system in countries where we operate through our franchisees).

Operating Expenses

Costs of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)

Transaction costs. When payments are made through our network, we incur transaction costs to our agents, which represent the amount of
fees we pass through to agents for use of their kiosks and terminals. Additionally, we incur transaction costs when Visa Qiwi Wallet consumers reload their wallets.

Compensation to employees and related taxes. Payroll and related taxes represents salaries and benefits paid to employees, primarily IT
and operating services employees, and related taxes, where such payroll and related taxes are associated with payment processing and other revenue-generating activities.

Ancillary expenses. We incur other expenses in addition to transaction costs and payroll and related taxes, including advertising
commission (primarily representing commission we pay to SMS operators and our agents for displaying the advertising), cost of rent of space for kiosks (representing the rental payments we make to retail shop owners to allow agents to install kiosks
on their premises under lease arrangements), cost of terminals sold (the cost the Company incurs selling terminals) and other expenses (including call center expenses (payment to call center provider for the number of the calls serviced).

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consists primarily of payroll and related taxes for our senior management, finance, legal and
other administrative staff, advertising and related expenses, rent of premises and related utility expenses, office maintenance expenses, telecommunication and internet expenses, bad debt expense, traveling and representation expenses, taxes other
than income taxes and professional fees.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation is calculated on property and equipment on a straight-line basis from the time the assets are available for use, over their
estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful economic lives, unless the useful life is indefinite. We do not amortize intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, but we test these assets for
impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level.

Other Income and Expense Items

Loss from disposal of subsidiaries

In 2015, loss from disposal of subsidiaries includes the disposal of CMT Engineering LLC on December 29, 2015 in the amount of RUB
71 million that was partially offset by a gain from disposal of IT Billion LLC and QIWI USA LLC on May 1, 2015 in the amount of RUB 33 million. No similar expenses were incurred in 2013 or 2014.

Other income

Other income in 2013
and 2014 primarily included income from depositary. Other income in 2015 primarily included gain from sale of investments and income from penalties charged to agents for violation of our payment system terms and conditions.

Other expenses

In 2013, other
expenses primarily consisted of tax penalties. In 2014, other expenses primarily included charitable donations. In 2015, other expenses primarily represented discounts recognized on guarantees provided.

##### Table of Contents

Foreign exchange gain and loss

Foreign exchange gain and loss arise as a result of re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the
functional currency rate of exchange at the reporting date. The amount of foreign exchange gain and loss for the reporting period is directly related to the currency rates fluctuations.

Interest income

Interest income
represents primarily interest on non-banking loans issued.

Interest expense

Interest expense primarily represents interest expense accrued on bank guarantees issued to selected merchants.

Income tax expense

Income tax
expense represents current and deferred income taxes with respect to our earning in countries in which we operate. Deferred tax also includes taxes on earnings of our foreign subsidiaries that have not been remitted to us to the extent applicable
and will be taxed in Cyprus once remitted.

Critical accounting policies and significant estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant judgments,
estimates and assumptions relate to the recognition of revenue, functional currency, determination of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, deferred tax
assets, impairment of loans and receivables, and share based payments. We have based our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are
highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the consolidated
financial statements. We believe that the following critical accounting policies are the most sensitive and require more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. You should read the
following descriptions of critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and other disclosures included in this annual report.

Revenue recognition

We exercise
significant judgment in reaching a conclusion about our accounting policy for gross versus net reporting of payment processing fees and related transaction costs.

In particular, there are two major sources of payment processing fee revenues:



| |  |  | Payment processing fees charged to consumers on payments collected through agents, mobile operators and other payment methods; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Payment processing fees charged to merchants.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------

In either one or both of the two types of
payment processing fees above, or in some cases, payment processing fees apply to a single consumer payment. Transaction costs relate to acquisition of payments by agents, mobile operators, international payment systems and some other parties, and
the applicable fees, generally determined as a percentage of consumer payment, for each specific payment channel are on terms similar to those available to other market participants.

A merchant fee, when it is charged, is recorded gross of related costs, because (i) we are the primary obligor as we undertake to transfer the
customer payment to the merchant using our payment processing system; (ii) we negotiate and ultimately set the commission rate receivable from a merchant; and (iii) we bear credit risk in most of the cases, unless the payment is made from
a deposit made with our group.

A consumer fee, when it is charged on payments made by consumers through kiosks and terminals, is reported
net of any fees payable to or retained by agents. This is because, although we are the primary obligor, we do not have any discretion over the ultimate commission set by the agent as a kiosk or terminal owner to the customer, we do not have readily
available information about the gross commission, and we are only exposed to the net amount of commission payable to us by the agent.

A
consumer fee collected through mobile operators and other payment methods is reported gross of related transaction costs. Such payments are made by consumers through our website or an application using a unique user login and password, and are
called electronic payments. In contrast with the consumer fee collected through kiosks and terminals, we, being a primary obligor in electronic payment transactions, also set the consumer fee, although credit risk for these transactions is limited.
Thus, we have concluded that our ability to control the consumer fee for electronic payments is a key differentiator from the customer fees on payments collected through our kiosks and terminals.

##### Table of Contents

The total amounts of transaction costs reported gross for the years ended December 31, 2013,
2014 and 2015, are RUB 5,065 million, RUB 5,079 million and RUB 6,300 million respectively, including the transaction costs for e-payments of RUB 1,237 million, RUB 1,506 million and RUB 2,241 million respectively.

SMS advertising revenues are recorded gross of related SMS expenses because (i) we act a principal in the transaction, because we are
ultimately responsible for the delivery of service, (ii) we have discretion over a choice of SMS delivery channel, and (iii) we determine the price and bear credit risk.

We also charge a fee for managing special guarantee deposit accounts made by agents to cover consumer payments they accept. Related revenues
in the amounts of RUB 462 million, RUB 757 million, and RUB 548 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014, and 2015 are reported gross of transaction costs paid to the same agents for collection of consumer payments,
because these revenues relate to a separate service having distinct value to agents and provided at their discretion.

Functional currency

Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency, depending on the economic environment it operates in, and items
included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

Fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in
business combinations

We recognize separately, at the acquisition date, the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent
liabilities acquired or assumed in the business combination at their fair values, which involves estimates. Such estimates are based on valuation techniques, which require considerable judgment in forecasting future cash flows and developing other
assumptions. In some cases, when the amounts of fair values are significant, we hire third party appraisers to assist us in determining the related fair values.

Impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets

We determine the following CGUs: JSC QIWI, Visa QIWI Wallet, Rapida LTD and considers goodwill relates to the group of three CGUs. For the
purpose of goodwill impairment test, we estimate the recoverable amounts of group of three CGUs as fair value less costs of disposal on the basis of quoted prices of Companys ordinary shares. For the purpose of intangible assets with
indefinite useful life impairment test, we estimate the recoverable amounts of each asset as fair value less costs of disposal on the basis of comparative method and cost approach. For the purpose of other intangible assets impairment, when
indicators of impairment are noted, we estimate the recoverable amounts as higher of value in use or fair value less costs to sell off an individual asset or the CGU to which this asset relates.

Deferred tax assets

The
utilization of deferred tax assets will depend on whether it is possible to generate sufficient taxable income against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Various factors are used to assess the probability of the future
utilization of deferred tax assets, including past operating results, operational plans, expiration of tax losses carried forward, and tax planning strategies.

The allowance relates to deferred tax assets, which were not recorded because we do not expect to realize certain of our tax loss carry
forwards in the foreseeable future due to the history of losses.

Impairment of loans and receivables

Our management assesses an impairment of loans and receivables to account for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to
make required payments. When evaluating the adequacy of an impairment of loans and receivables, our management bases its estimates on the aging of accounts receivable balances and loans and historical write-off experience, customer credit worthiness
and changes in customer payment terms. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, actual write-offs might be higher than expected.

Share-based payments

For the
purposes of determining our share-based compensation expense, we estimated the fair value of share options that are expected to vest using the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) option pricing model and recognize the share-based payment expense ratably over
the requisite service period applicable to each option vesting tranche. We used the following assumptions in our option-pricing model when valuing share-based awards:

The expected life of the option represents the period during which our option awards are expected to be
outstanding. The expected life of each option tranche was based on the simplified method outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Compensation, because, prior to our initial public offering, we were a privately held company
and our share-based compensation plan is relatively new. Accordingly, we do not have sufficient experience or history to be able to determine the expected life over which our option awards will be held before exercise. This method is also in line
with the requirements of IFRS 2 Share-Based Payment.

With respect to price volatility, because, prior to our initial public offering, we
operated as a private company with no active market for our shares or option awards, and currently we still do not have sufficient history of our share price performance, it is not possible to use actual price volatility data. Therefore, we
estimated the volatility of our shares based on the historical volatility of peer group companies over a period which approximates our expected life of option awards. Using an expected volatility based on the average historical volatility of other
entities may result in variability when compared to actual historical volatility once we have sufficient historical data about the market price for our shares.

We based the risk-free interest rate that we use in our option-pricing model on the implied yield currently available on the US treasury
bonds, adjusted for a country risk premium, with a remaining term approximating the expected life of the option award being valued.

At
the time of the grant date of the options on December 21, 2012, we expected that we would not pay cash dividends after the closing of the initial public offering. In light of that expectation, we used an expected dividend yield of zero in our
option pricing model for option awards granted in the year ended December 31, 2012. In April 2013, our board of directors subsequently reconsidered this determination, and we currently expect that we will pay dividends from time to time in the
future. Any determination regarding the amount of future dividends will depend on a range of factors, including the availability of distributable profits, our liquidity and financial position, our strategic plans and growth initiatives, restrictions
imposed by our financing arrangements, tax considerations, planned acquisitions, and other relevant factors.

We determined the amount of
share-based compensation expense based on awards that we ultimately expect to vest, taking into account estimated forfeitures. IFRS requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual
forfeitures differ from those estimates. To properly attribute compensation expense, we are required to estimate pre-vesting forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those
estimates. We have no past history of forfeitures, but the retention rate amongst our key employees and management was historically high. Therefore, our forfeiture rate is expected to be insignificant. As a result, we have applied an estimated
forfeiture rate of zero in 2013 and actual year-to-date rate of forfeitures in 2014 and 2015.

Because, prior to our initial public
offering, there had been no public market for our shares, with the assistance of an independent valuation firm, we determined the fair value of our shares on the basis of valuations of our company arrived at by employing the income
approach and the market approach valuation methodologies described further below. Since May 2013, QIWI plc is a public company and the fair value of its shares is defined by reference to closing market price of its traded shares.

Under the income approach, we relied on the discounted cash flows (DCF) method. The DCF method involves applying appropriate discount
rates to estimated cash flows that are based on forecasts of revenue and costs. Key assumptions associated with the income approach include projected revenue, profit and cash flows which reflect managements best estimates of our future
operations at the time; a terminal value, which attributes value to cash flows for the years beyond the projection period; and a discount rate, which reflects then expected market rates of interest rates and risks associated with the business.

Under the market approach, we relied on the guideline publicly traded company method as well as the prior transaction method, if such
transactions were available. The guideline publicly traded company method provides an indication of our value by comparing the enterprise value to earnings and revenue multiples of similar publicly traded companies in our industry. In applying the
prior transaction method, we would consider the most recent transaction in our companys shares.

To estimate the fair value of our
shares for the December 2012 grants, the income approach, using the DCF method, and the market approach were employed. In the DCF method, a post-tax discount rate of 12.5% was used. A discount for lack of marketability of 8.21% was also applied. DCF
was used as the primary method and the guideline publicly traded company approach was used to determine if the DCF valuation was in the range of reasonable values for December 2012 option awards.

The prior transaction method was not used for the December 2012 valuation study because it was
determined that duration of time and respective changes in market conditions since the most recent arms length transaction with our shares that closed in December 2010 rendered this transaction a less reliable indicator of the value of our
company. However, the prior transaction method provided an indirect evidence of the fair value of our shares. In particular, the publicly disclosed value of the transaction between our shareholders in December 2010 was U.S.$24.1 million for
3.74% of our shares, representing approximately U.S.$12.40 per share. The growth of the estimated share price from U.S.$12.40 per share in December 2010 to U.S.$15.84 on December 2012, as implied by the DCF method and market approach, or
27%, was linked to a number of factors, including improving performance in 2011 and 2012 and improved liquidity prospects due to the planned initial public offering.

The DCF method used to estimate the fair value of our shares is highly sensitive to growth rates, with the principal drivers being the level
of internet traffic, our market share, and the size of the online advertising market generally. Additionally, the guideline public company method is highly sensitive to the choice of guideline companies and changes in market multiples of those
guideline companies, as well as our companys relative performance in comparison with the selected peers.

On December 21, 2012,
our board of directors approved the grant of option awards to purchase up to 2,216,778 shares at an exercise price presented in a table above. The amount of expense arising from equity-settled share-based payment transactions for the year ended
December 31, 2015 was RUB 87 million (December 31, 2014: RUB 422 million, December 31, 2013: RUB 231 million).

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 was RUB 17,717 million, an increase of 20%, or RUB
2,998 million, compared to the same period in 2014. This increase was primarily due to an increase in payment processing fees. Payment processing fees for the year ended December 31, 2015 were RUB 14,935 million, an increase of 22%,
or RUB 2,685 million, compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in payment processing fees resulted primarily from an increase in payment volumes by 35%, or RUB 228 billion, from RUB 645 billion in 2014 to RUB 873 billion in 2015,
primarily resulting from the acquisition of Contact and Rapida, the growth in payment volumes in higher yielding payment categories, such as E-commerce and Money Remittance offset by a decrease of average net revenue yield following the acquisition
and consolidation of the Contact and Rapida businesses, which historically were lower yielding, and an increase in inactivity fees by 70%, or RUB 457 million, from RUB 656 million in 2014 to RUB 1,113 million in 2015 as a result of
changes to the write-off policy as well as consolidation of Contact and Rapida.

The number of active Visa Qiwi Wallet consumers decreased
to 16.1 million as of December 31, 2015 from 17.2 million as of December 31, 2014. The decrease was driven mainly by the lower marketing expenditures in 2015 as compared to 2014, as well as the decrease in the kiosk network in
Russia that started in the second half of 2015 and the overall economic downturn in Russia affecting consumer activity. The number of our kiosks and terminals decreased, with 172,269 active kiosks and terminals as of December 31, 2015 compared
to 181,148 as of December 31, 2014 primarily as a result of regulatory changes further described in Item 3.D. Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our Business and IndustryA decline in the use of cash as a means of payment or a
decline in the use of kiosks and terminals may result in a reduced demand for our services.

Interest revenue that consists
primarily of interest revenue on deposits and gain on currency swaps for the year ended December 31, 2015 was RUB 860 million, an increase of 45%, or RUB 266 million, compared to the same period in 2014. This increase was primarily
driven by growth of deposits partly as a result of acquisition of Rapida LTD.

Revenue from cash and settlement services for the year
ended December 31, 2015 was RUB 557 million, a decrease of 27%, or RUB 211 million, compared to the same period in 2014. This decrease was primarily driven by the decline in our kiosk network.

Advertising revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 was RUB 324 million, an increase of 12%, or RUB 35 million, compared
to the same period of 2014. This growth primarily resulted from an increase of advertising on agents kiosks following entry into new advertising agreements.

Ancillary revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 was RUB 1,041 million, an increase of 27%, or RUB 223 million, compared
to the same period in 2014, primarily due to an increase in interest revenue on agents overdrafts resulting from higher market rates and an increase in revenue from sale of kiosks slightly offset by a decrease in revenue from rent of space for
kiosks as a result of more favorable terms we offered to our agents.

Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)

Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for the year ended December 31, 2015 was RUB 8,695 million, an increase
of 20%, or RUB 1,422 million, compared to the same period in 2014. Transaction costs increased by 24%, or RUB 1,221 million, in the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014, from RUB 5,079 million to RUB
6,300 million. Transaction costs increased in 2015 as compared to 2014 primarily due to increase in transaction volumes.

Compensation to
employees and related taxes for the year ended December 31, 2015 was RUB 1,206 million, an decrease of 13%, or RUB 185 million, compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to a decrease in share-based payment expenses and bonus
payments as well as the restructuring of employees from front office to back office and IT resulting in the wages of certain employees not being accounted for as cost of revenue.

Ancillary expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 were RUB 1,189 million, an increase of 48%, or RUB 386 million,
compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in ancillary expenses was mainly due to an increase in cost of kiosks sold from RUB 216 million in 2014 to RUB 332 million in 2015, growth of the cost of rent of space for kiosks from RUB
159 million in 2014 to RUB 213 million in 2015, resulting mainly from new projects with large retail networks that started in the end of 2014; an increase in call center expenses from RUB 189 million in 2014 to RUB 232 million in
2015 and SMS and voice messages expenses from RUB 97 million in 2014 to RUB 241 million in 2015 resulting from a significant growth of tariffs.

Adjusted net revenue

Adjusted net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 was RUB 10,228 million, an increase of 16%, or RUB 1,392 million,
compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in adjusted net revenue was primarily due to an increase in payment volume as well as inactivity fees offset by the decline of net revenue yield. Average net revenue yield decreased by 20 bps, from
1.37% for the year ended December 31, 2014 to 1.17% for the year ended December 31, 2015. Excluding inactivity fees, average net revenue yield decreased by 22 bps, from 1.27% for the year ended December 31, 2014 to 1.04% for the year
ended December 31, 2015. The decrease in average net revenue yield is primarily due to consolidation of the historically lower yielding Contact and Rapida businesses partly offset by an increase (as a percentage of payment volume) of higher
yielding transactions such as E-commerce and a decrease in transactions with lower yields, such as Telecoms.

Selling, general and
administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 were RUB
3,469 million, an increase of 13%, or RUB 387 million, from 2014. This increase resulted primarily from growth of payroll, related taxes and other expenses by 12%, or RUB 162 million, from RUB 1,349 million in 2014 to RUB
1,511 million in 2015 due to: (i) the aforementioned restructuring which resulted in transfer of salary expenses of certain employees from the cost of revenue to selling, general and administrative expenses; (ii) an increase in
payroll expenses of newly acquired subsidiaries, including CIHRUS LLC; (iii) increase of ruble salaries of foreign subsidiaries (denominated in foreign currencies), partially offset by the decrease in share-based payment expenses. Further
selling, general and administrative expenses were affected by an increase in bad debt expenses from RUB 151 million in 2014 to RUB 362 million in 2015, resulting mainly from an increase in reserves for receivables from several of
QIWIs agents who have shown signs of financial instability; an increase of rent of premises expenses from RUB 242 million in 2014 to RUB 338 million in 2015 primarily due to higher USD rate; an increase in office maintenance expenses
from RUB 237 million in 2014 to RUB 310 million in 2015 due to increased automation expenses; and the increase in other tax expenses. These effects were partially offset by a decrease in advertising and related expenses by 53%, or RUB
271 million, from RUB 513 million in 2014 to RUB 242 million in 2015 as there were no significant marketing activities in 2015 as compared to 2014.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2015 was RUB 689 million, an increase of 95%, or RUB 336 million,
compared to the same period in 2014. This increase resulted primarily from the depreciation and amortization charge associated with acquisition of CIHRUS LLC and its subsidiaries as well as acquisition of computer software and hardware used in core
operating activities.

Other non-operating gains and losses

Impairment of investment in associates

Impairment of investment in associates for the year ended December 31, 2015 was not recognized compared to RUB 25 million in the year
ended December 31, 2014, resulting from impairment of all our holdings in QIWI BRASIL TECNOLOGIA DE CAPTURA E PROCESSAMENTO DE TRANSAXES LTDA, whose operating performance significantly deteriorated in 2014.

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 was RUB 14,719 million, an increase of 26%, or RUB
3,053 million, compared to the same period in 2013. This increase was primarily due to an increase in payment processing fees. Payment processing fees for the year ended December 31, 2014 were RUB 12,250 million, an increase of 23%,
or RUB 2,316 million, compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in payment processing fees resulted primarily from an increase in payment volumes by 15%, or RUB 84 billion, from RUB 561 billion in 2013 to RUB 645 billion in 2014, and a
shift in business mix towards higher yielding payment categories such as E-commerce.

Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)

Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for the year ended December 31, 2014 was RUB 7,273 million, an increase
of 14%, or RUB 877 million, compared to the same period in 2013. Transaction costs increased by 0.3%, or RUB 14 million, in the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, from RUB 5,065 million to RUB
5,079 million. Transaction costs remained relatively constant in 2013 and 2014 primarily due to decrease in agent top-up costs starting first half 2014.

Compensation to employees and related taxes for the year ended December 31, 2014 was RUB 1,391 million, an increase of 55%, or RUB
493 million, compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to an increase in salaries and share-based payment expenses, and to a lesser extent, due to bonus payments.

Ancillary expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 were RUB 803 million, an increase of 85%, or RUB 370 million, compared
to the same period in 2013. The increase in ancillary expenses was mainly due to an increase of cost of kiosks sold from RUB 17 million in 2013 to RUB 216 million in 2014, resulting primarily from the establishment of CMT Engineering whose
main activity is the sale of kiosks and terminals and an increase cost of rent of space of kiosks from RUB 85 million in 2013 to RUB 159 million in 2014, resulting mainly from acquisition of K5 Retail (further renamed to QIWI Retail) and
increase of call center expenses from RUB 92 million in 2013 to RUB 189 million in 2014, as a result of increase in number of calls received, change to provider with better quality of service and increase in tariffs.

Adjusted net revenue

Adjusted net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 was RUB 8,836 million, an increase of 43%, or RUB 2,669 million,
compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in adjusted net revenue was primarily due to an increase in payment volume and growth of net revenue yield. Average net revenue yield increased by 27 bps, from 1.10% for the year ended
December 31, 2013 to 1.37% for the year ended December 31, 2014. Excluding inactivity fees, average net revenue yield increased by 27 bps, from 1.00% for the year ended December 31, 2013 to 1.27% for the year ended December 31,
2014. The increase in average net revenue yield is primarily due to an increase in transactions as a percentage of payment volume in payment categories with higher yields such as E-commerce and a decrease in transactions as a percentage of payment
volume in payment categories with lower yields, such as Telecoms.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 were RUB 3,082 million, an increase of 15%, or RUB

marketing activities undertaken in 2014; an increase in professional fees from RUB 44 million in 2013 to RUB 174 million in 2014, resulting from an increase of professional services primarily related to payment systems implementation,

|B. | Liquidity and capital resources
|-- | -------------------------------

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand,
deposits received from agents and consumers, and revenues generated from our operations.

Our principal needs for liquidity have been, and
will likely continue to be, deposits with merchants and other working capital items, capital expenditures and acquisitions. We believe that our working capital is sufficient to meet our current obligations.

Our balance of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2015 was RUB 19,363 million compared to RUB 17,080 million as of
December 31, 2014 and RUB 11,637 million as of December 31, 2013. Cash and cash equivalents comprise predominantly cash at banks and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

An important part of our credit risk management and payment settlement strategy relies on deposits we receive from agents in advance for
payments made through the kiosks. When a payment is made through a kiosk, we offset these deposits against the payments we make to the merchant. For certain agents with whom we have long and reliable relationships, we provide limited credit support
in the form of overdrafts and loans for processing payments.

Similarly, certain of our merchants (primarily the Big Three MNOs and Visa)
request that we make deposits with them in relation to payments processed through our system. Whenever a customer makes a payment to a merchant with whom we have made a deposit, that payment gets offset against the deposit held with the respective
merchant.

As of December 31, 2015, deposits received from agents and individual customers were RUB 9,193 million, compared to
RUB 15,231 million as of December 31, 2014 and RUB 12,352 million as of December 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily driven by lower deposits received from agents as a result of the decline in the number of kiosks and shrinking
banking sector resulting into fewer working capital financing options available for our agents. As of December 31, 2015, deposits issued to our merchants were RUB 2,723 million, compared to RUB 4,331 million as of December 31,
2014 and RUB 1,939 million as of December 31, 2013. The decline predominantly resulted from partial substitution of deposits with bank guarantees.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital
expenditures primarily relate to the acquisition of IT equipment for our processing system as well as the acquisition of the software that we use in operations. Capital expenditures were RUB 314 million for the year ended December 31,
2015, that include: (i) RUB 226 million related to the acquisition of computer software (ii) RUB 44 million related to the acquisition of the processing servers and engineering equipment, and (iii) RUB 44 million
related to the acquisition of computer, office, construction in progress and other equipment. As of December 31, 2015, we had no material capital expenditure commitments.

our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015:

Cash flows from operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 was RUB 1,007 million, compared to net cash generated in
operating activities of RUB 4,755 million for the same period in 2014. The decrease in net cash flow from operating activities is a result of changes in working capital, primarily a decrease in accounts payable and accruals partially offset by
decrease in trade and other receivables. The sharp decrease in accounts payables and accruals is primarily due to the decrease in deposits received from agents as of December 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014. Deposits received from
agents significantly declined in 2015 compared to 2014 due to the decrease of our agent network and the financial instability of some of our agents, as a result of more stringent regulation by the CBR and the overall deterioration of the Russian
economy in 2015. However, the Group has no long term debt obligations and has sufficient cash in order to meet its current liabilities.

Net cash inflow generated from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2014 was RUB 4,755 million, compared to RUB
4,725 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in net cash flow from operating activities is a result of an increase in profit before tax, the cash effect of which was partially offset by an increase in foreign exchange gains, net, and
changes in working capital, primarily an increase in accounts payable and accruals partially offset by an increase in trade and other receivables.

Cash flows from investing activities

Net
cash inflow generated from investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 was RUB 3,556 million, compared to net cash outflow in investing activities RUB 1,602 million for the same period in 2014. The increase in net cash
flow was primarily due to: (i) a significant amount of net cash acquired upon business combination of RUB 3,181 million in 2015 compared to nil in 2014; and (ii) higher net cash inflow from the redemption of debt instruments and
less purchases of the new debt instruments in 2015 as compared with 2014, resulting from our declining use of these instruments as collateral with large merchants.

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2014 was RUB 1,602 million, compared to RUB 1,200 million
for the same period in 2013. The increase in net cash flow used in investing activities was primarily due to: (i) net cash outflow for purchase of debt instruments of RUB 211 million in 2014 compared to 2013 due to less settlement of debt
instruments in 2014; and (ii) change in cash used for capital expenditures by RUB 138 million due to significant purchases of property and equipment in 2014.

Cash flows used in financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 was RUB 1,893 million, compared to net cash generated from
financing activities in the amount of RUB 179 million for the same period of 2014. The decrease in net cash from financing activities was primarily due to: (i) no cash inflow from the issue of share capital in 2015 compared to 2014 when it
amounted to RUB 3,044 million; (ii) we paid RUB 2,242 million less dividends to our shareholders in 2015 compared to 2014; and (iii) cash outflow due to the repayment of borrowings acquired upon business combinations in the amount of
RUB 1,252 million in 2015 compared to RUB 1 million in 2014.

Net cash generated from financing activities for the year ended
December 31, 2014 was RUB 179 million, compared to net cash used in financing activities of RUB 1,846 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in net cash generated from financing activities was primarily due to cash inflow
due to issue of share capital in the amount of RUB 3,044 million; which was offset by the payment of a higher amount of dividends to our shareholders by RUB 1,060 million.

Borrowings

There were no long-term
borrowing as of December 31, 2015, as during the year ended December 31, 2015, the full amount of borrowings was settled as a part of the transactions in connection with the disposal of QIWI USA.

During the year ended December 31, 2015 we used overdraft credit facilities with an aggregate credit limit of RUB 2 billion with the
maturities from May 2017 to January 2018, and interest rate of up to 30% per annum. Amounts payable under these credit lines as at December 31, 2015 was zero. Some of these agreements stipulated the right of a lender to increase the
interest rate in case covenants are violated. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Group did not materially breach any covenants. Some overdraft credit facility agreements were guaranteed by the Groups CEO.

|B. | Compensation.
|-- | -------------

Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers

Under our articles of association, our shareholders determine the compensation of our directors from time to time at a general meeting of our
shareholders, our board of directors determines the compensation of our chief executive officer (which power has been delegated to the compensation committee). The compensation of our other executive officers is determined by our chief executive
officer while our board of directors approves corporate key performance indicators (cKPI) and total bonus pool for those executive officers. In case of underperformance of KPIs a right to make a final decision on bonus pool distribution
is left with the Board.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the aggregate remuneration paid (comprising salary, discretionary
bonuses and other short-term benefits) to our directors and executive officers was RUB 125 million. No amounts in respect of pensions, retirement or similar benefits have been accrued in any of the periods presented in this annual report. Our
Russian subsidiaries are required by law to make contributions equal to fixed percentages of each employees salary for his or her pension insurance, medical insurance and other statutory benefits. None of our non-executive directors and
independent director appointees has a service contract with us that provides for benefits upon termination of office.

Our key management
and some other senior managers fall under the bonus program of the Company subject to performance cKPI approved by the Board of Directors consisting of net revenue (weight  40%), Adjusted Net Profit (weight  40%) and Number of active
QIWI Wallet users (weight  20%) of the Company. Bonus shall be allocated fractionally on a quarterly basis subject to performance of the cKPI according to the formula approved by the Board of Directors. Bonus allocation shall take place upon
approval of the quarterly / annual consolidated financial statements of the Company by the Board of Directors.

Employee Stock Option Plan

General. In October 2012, our board of directors adopted and our shareholders approved an Employee Stock Option Plan, or the 2012 Plan, an
equity-based incentive compensation plan intended to help align the interests of our management and others with those of our shareholders. Certain amendments were introduced to the 2012 Plan in 2013 and 2015. Under the 2012 Plan, we may grant
options to purchase our class B shares to employees and service providers in connection with their provision of services to us or our subsidiaries. A maximum of 3,640,000 of our class B shares, or 7% of our entire issued and outstanding share
capital as of the date immediately preceding our initial public offering, are reserved for issuance under the 2012 Plan, subject to equitable adjustment in the event of certain corporate transactions, such as a stock split or recapitalization. The
2012 Plan is scheduled to expire on the tenth anniversary of its adoption, although previously granted awards will remain outstanding after such date in accordance with their terms.

Administration. Our chief executive officer and our deputy chief executive officer administer the 2012 Plan, including determining the vesting
schedule, exercise price, term of the award, transfer restrictions applicable to shares acquired pursuant to an option exercise and other terms and conditions of option awards under the 2012 Plan. Our board of directors has the authority to make all
necessary or appropriate interpretations of 2012 Plan terms. The participants of the 2012 Plan are also selected by our chief executive officer.

Option Terms Generally. Options granted under the 2012 Plan permit the holder of the option to purchase our class B shares once such options
are vested and exercisable, at a purchase price per share determined by our board of directors and specified in the option grant. Grants of options under the 2012 Plan following the initial public offering have a purchase price per share not less
than the average closing price of our class B shares on the principal exchange on which such shares are then traded for the ten business days immediately preceding the date of grant. Options granted under the 2012 Plan cannot be sold, pledged or
disposed of in any manner without our prior written consent.

Net Income Transfer Restriction. All options granted under the 2012 Plan are
subject to an additional transfer restriction applicable to shares acquired by exercising the option. This transfer restriction prohibits the individual from transferring these shares unless we have achieved RUB 5,359,284,000 in net income (measured
in accordance with the management reporting practices) during the previous 12 month period. We determine at the end of each fiscal quarter whether such net income test has been met and, to the extent that it has not been met, individuals holding
shares acquired through the exercise of these options are not permitted to transfer the shares while they remain employed by us or one of our subsidiaries. This transfer restriction will cease to apply in the event that the option holders
employment or service with us or our subsidiaries terminates. In May 2015 our board of directors eliminated the net income target restriction for half of the vested option shares of each participant of the 2012 Plan and replaced the initial U.S.$170
million net income target by the RUB 5,359,284,000 net income target (the amount is the equivalent of U.S.$170 million converted into Russian ruble at the foreign exchange rate as of October 31, 2012, which was the date of approval of the 2012
Plan) for the remaining half of the vested option shares of each participant of the 2012 Plan.

Other Information. Shares subject to
options which are cancelled or forfeited without being exercised will be returned to the 2012 Plan and will be available for subsequent option grants under the 2012 Plan. Any material amendment to the 2012 Plan (such as the addition of more class B
shares to the pool of shares available under the 2012 Plan) or the adoption of a new equity compensation plan is subject to approval by our shareholders to the extent required under Cypriot law.

Employee Restricted Stock Units Plan

General. In July 2015, our board of directors adopted and our shareholders approved an Employee Restricted Stock Units Plan, or the 2015 Plan,
an equity-based incentive compensation plan intended to help align the interests of our management and others with those of our shareholders. Under the 2015 Plan, we may grant the restricted stock units (RSUs) to employees, officers and
contractors with their provision of services to us or our subsidiaries. A maximum of shares equal to 7 percent of the aggregate number of class A and class B shares issued and outstanding from time to time are reserved for issuance under the 2015
Plan, subject to equitable adjustment in the event of certain corporate transactions, such as a stock split or recapitalization. The 2015 Plan is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2022.

Administration. Our board of directors administers the 2015 Plan, including determining the vesting schedule, term of the award and making all
necessary or appropriate interpretations of the terms of the 2015 Plan. The participants of the 2015 Plan are selected by our chief executive officer and the list of top-30 participants of each grant shall be approved by our board. Our chief
executive officer and members of the board are eligible to receive the RSUs subject to the approval by the relevant corporate body of the Company.

Terms and Conditions Generally. The recipients of the RSUs have no dividend, voting, or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company. Upon
vesting of the RSUs, the Participants will receive class B shares free of all restrictions. RSUs that have not become vested as of the date of termination of the participants employment or service shall be forfeited upon such termination.
Except for transfers resulting from the laws of descent and distribution, no RSUs granted under the 2015 Plan can be sold, pledged or disposed of in any manner without our prior written consent.

Other Information. The number of shares underlying expired, terminated or cancelled RSUs, shall continue to be available for the purpose of
further awards under the 2015 Plan. Any material amendment to the 2015 Plan (such as the addition of more class B shares to the pool of shares available under the 2015 Plan) or the adoption of a new equity compensation plan is subject to approval by
our shareholders to the extent required under Cypriot law.

|C. | Board Practices.
|-- | ----------------

Board of Directors

Our company has a single-tier board structure, with a board of directors comprised of up to nine directors nominated and elected by the
shareholders (subject to certain exemptions), including not less than three directors who shall be independent directors (see also Description of Share CapitalBoard of Directors). The primary responsibility of our board of
directors is to oversee the operations of our company, and to supervise the policies of senior management and the affairs of our company. The term for the directors serving on our board of directors at the time of the annual report will expire at
the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2016. Our directors shall be elected at each subsequent annual general meeting of shareholders. Our articles of association provide that we may have up to nine directors, including not less
than three independent directors. Non-independent directors shall not be more than six.

Under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, a director
employed by us or that has, or had, certain relationships with us during the three years prior to this annual report, cannot be deemed to be an independent director, and each other director will qualify as independent, only if our board of directors
affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with us, either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us. Ownership of a significant amount of our shares, by itself,
does not constitute a material relationship. Our articles of association provide that any elected director may be qualified as an independent director if such director meets certain criteria under the NASDAQ Listing Rules. Accordingly, our board of
directors has affirmatively determined that Mr. Dmitry Pleskonos, Mr. Marcus Rhodes, Mr. Ron Kalifa, Mr. Osama Bedier and Mr. Andrey Shemetov are each an independent director in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

Committees of our Board of Directors

We
have established two committees under the board of directors: the audit committee and the compensation committee. We have adopted a charter for each of these committees. Each committees members and functions are as follows.

Audit committee. Our audit committee consists of Messrs. Kalifa, Rhodes and Shemetov. Mr. Rhodes is the chairman of the audit committee
and our board of directors has determined that Mr. Rhodes qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined under Nasdaq Listing Rules and the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act. Messrs. Kalifa, Rhodes and Shemetov
are each an independent director in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

##### Table of Contents

The purpose of the audit committee is to assist our board of directors with its oversight
responsibilities regarding: (a) the integrity of our financial statements, (b) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (c) the independent auditors qualifications, independence and performance and (d) the
performance of our internal audit function and independent auditor.

Our audit committees duties include, but are not limited to:



| |  |  | selecting the independent registered public accounting firm and pre-approving all auditing and non-auditing services permitted to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reviewing with the independent registered public accounting firm any audit problems or difficulties and managements response;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reviewing all proposed related party transactions, as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | discussing the annual audited financial statements with management and the independent registered public accounting firm;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reviewing major issues as to the adequacy of our internal control and any special audit steps adopted in light of material control deficiencies; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | meeting separately and periodically with management and the independent registered public accounting firm.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Compensation committee. Our compensation committee consists of Messrs. Bedier, Pleskonos and Romanenko. Mr. Pleskonos is the chairman of
the compensation committee. Messrs. Bedier and Pleskonos are independent directors in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. We follow Cyprus law which does not require companies to have a compensation committee made up entirely of
independent directors. Given Mr. Romanenkos long history and commitment to the Company, we believe he is well positioned to advise on matters of compensation. None of the members of our compensation committee is an officer or employee of
our company.

Our compensation committees duties include, but are not limited to:



| |  |  | approving the compensation package of the chief executive officer;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | administering our equity incentive plan;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | overseeing, and advising the board of directors on, overall compensation plans and benefit programs; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

We
have adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is intended to promote honest and ethical conduct, full and accurate reporting, and compliance
with laws as well as other matters. A copy of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is available on our website: http://investor.qiwi.com/documents.cfm

Directors Duties

Under Cyprus law,
our directors owe fiduciary duties at both common law and under statute, including a statutory duty and common law duty to act honestly, in good faith and in what the director believes are the best interests of our company. When exercising powers or
performing duties as a director, the director is required to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a responsible director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account, without limitation, the nature of the company, the nature
of the decision and the position of the director and the nature of the responsibilities undertaken by him. The directors are required to exercise their powers for a proper purpose and must not act or agree to the company acting in a manner that
contravenes our articles of association or Cyprus law.

Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with each of our executive officers. Each of these contains standard terms and conditions in
compliance with Russian labor law. The terms of these employment agreements include, among other things, duration, remuneration, the treatment of confidential information, social insurance and employment benefits.

We may terminate the employment agreements with our executive officers in accordance with the general provisions envisaged by Russian labor
law if, among other things, one of our executive officers commits serious breach of duties, is guilty of any gross misconduct in connection with the handling of money or valuables, or takes an erroneous decision that leads to improper use of, or
causes damage to, our property. In addition, Russian labor law and employment agreements of certain of our executive officers contain certain additional provisions whereby we may terminate their employment agreements if such officers are dismissed
from office in accordance with Russian bankruptcy legislation.

Each executive officer has agreed to hold in strict confidence any
confidential information or trade secrets of our company. Each executive officer also agrees to comply with all material applicable laws and regulations related to his or her responsibilities at our company as well as all material corporate and
business policies and procedures of our company.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our memorandum and articles of association provide that, subject to certain limitations, we will indemnify our directors and officers against
any losses or liabilities which they may sustain or incur in or about the execution of their duties including liability incurred in defending any proceedings whether civil or criminal in which judgment is given in their favor or in which they are
acquitted.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and may therefore be unenforceable.

Interests of our Directors and our Employees

Certain of our directors and our executive officers have beneficial ownership interests in our shares or hold options to purchase shares. The
economic interests through these holdings may give rise to a conflict of interest between their duties owed to us and their private interests. For example, it could cause them to pursue short-term gains in respect of those private interests instead
of acting in our best interest. Other than the potential conflicts of interest described in the footnotes to the table in Principal and Selling Shareholders, we are not aware of any other potential conflicts of interest between any
duties owed by members of our board of directors or our executive officers to us and their private interests and/or other duties.

Under
our articles of association and Cyprus Law, a director who is in any way interested in a contract or proposed contract with us must declare the nature of his or her interest at a meeting of our board of directors. In addition, a director has no
right to vote in respect of any contract or arrangement in which he or she is interested, and if the director does vote, his or her vote will not be counted and he or she will not be counted for purposes of determining whether quorum at the meeting
has been established.

Our directors are generally not prohibited from owning or acquiring interests in companies that could compete with
us in the future for investments or business, and each of them has a range of business relationships outside the context of their relationship with us that could influence their decisions in the future.

|A. | Major Shareholders.
|-- | -------------------

The following table sets forth information with respect to the
beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares, as of March 11, 2016, by:



| |  |  | each of our directors and executive officers; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | each person known to us to own beneficially more than 5% of our ordinary shares.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beneficial
ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we have included shares that the person has the right to
acquire within 60 days, including through the exercise of any option, warrant or other right or the conversion of any other security. These shares, however, are not included in the computation of the percentage ownership of any other person.

The calculations in the table below are based on 15,516,573 class A shares and 44,903,733 class B shares outstanding as of
March 11, 2016, which comprise our entire issued and outstanding share capital as of that date. Class A ordinary shares have ten votes per share, and Class B shares have one vote per share.

Agreements with VTB

During the year ended December 31, 2015 the Group used overdraft credit facilities with an overall credit limit of RUB 2 billion with
maturities from May 2017 to January 2018, and interest rate of up to 30% per annum. Balance payable under these credit lines as at December 31, 2015 was equal to zero. Some of these agreements stipulated the right of a lender to increase
the interest rate in case covenants are violated. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Group did not materially breach any covenants. Some overdraft credit facility agreements were guaranteed by the Groups CEO.

Borrowings from ITBILLION LIMITED LTD. and New Media Stars LLC

The balances of loans owed by the group companies to ITBILLION LIMITED LTD. and New Media Stars LLC as of December 31, 2014 are RUB
42 million and RUB 216 million, respectively (2013  RUB 24 million and RUB 76 million). Interest expenses related to this borrowings for the year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to RUB 2 million and RUB
11 million, respectively (2013  RUB 2 million and RUB 5 million). These companies are not related parties for the Group since May 1, 2015.

Payment Processing Services Agreements

We enter into payment processing services, advertising, IT services and agency agreements with various affiliates of our directors, executive
officers and shareholders in the ordinary course of our business. We believe that all of these agreements are entered into on arms length terms, are not material and do not deviate in any material aspect from the terms that we would use in
similar contracts with non-related parties.

Bank Accounts and Deposits

Qiwi Bank maintains accounts and deposits of various affiliates of our directors, executive officers and shareholders in the ordinary course of
its business amounting to RUB 183 million. Some of these affiliates are not considered related parties under IFRS and therefore are not included under balances and transactions with related parties in our consolidated financial statements. We
believe that all of the agreements pertaining to such accounts and deposits are entered into on arms length terms and do not deviate in any material aspect from the terms that we would use in similar contracts with non-related parties.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently, and have
not been in the recent past, subject to any legal, arbitration or government proceedings (including proceedings pending or threatened) that we believe will have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Dividend Policy

We intend to distribute
all excess cash to our shareholders in the form of an annual dividend. Excess cash is defined as adjusted net profit for a year less an amount management deems necessary for near term corporate action or other business needs including but not
limited to merger and acquisition activities and capital expenditures. The board of directors reserves the right to distribute the dividend on a quarterly basis as it deems necessary. This statement is a general declaration of intention and the
actual declaration of dividends will require corporate action at the relevant time on which a decision will be taken by the board of directors or the general meeting of its shareholders, as the case may be, depending on the precise circumstances
that prevail at the time, and shareholders or potential investors should not treat this statement as an obligation or similar undertaking by us that dividends will be declared as set out herein. Under Cyprus law, we are not allowed to make
distributions if the distribution would reduce our shareholders equity below the sum of the issued share capital, including any share premium, and the reserves which we must maintain under Cyprus law and our articles of association.

As a holding company, the level of our income and our ability to pay dividends depend primarily upon the receipt of dividends and other
distributions from our subsidiaries. The payment of dividends by our subsidiaries is contingent upon the sufficiency of their earnings, cash flows, regulatory capital requirements, and distributable profits.

Our memorandum and articles of association
contain, among others, the following provisions:

Objects

Our objects are set forth in full in Regulation 3 of our memorandum of association.

Shareholders General Meetings

Share Capital

Our share capital is divided into two classes of shares: class A shares, each of which carries ten votes at shareholders general
meetings, and class B shares, each of which carries one vote at shareholders general meetings.

Convening Shareholders Meetings

The shareholders general meeting is our supreme governing body. An annual general meeting must be held not more than 15 months after the
prior annual general meeting, with at least one annual general meeting held in each calendar year.

Our board of directors, at its
discretion, may convene an extraordinary general meeting. Extraordinary general meetings must also be convened by the board of directors at the request of shareholders holding in aggregate at the date of the deposit of the requisition either
(a) not less than 10% of our outstanding share capital or (b) not less than 10% of the voting rights attached to our issued shares, or, in case the board of directors fails to do so within 21 days from the date of the deposit of the
requisition notice, by such requisitioning shareholders, or any of them representing more than one half of the total voting rights of all of them, but any meeting so convened by the shareholders themselves may not be held after the expiration of 3
months from the date that is 21 days from the date of the deposit of the requisition notice.

The annual general meeting and a
shareholders general meeting called for the election of directors or for a matter for which Cypriot law requires a special resolution, which means a resolution passed by a majority of not less than 75% of the voting rights attached to our
issued shares present and voting at a duly convened and quorate general meeting, must be called with no less than 45 days written notice or such longer notice as is required by the Companies Law (not counting the day in which it was dispatched
and the date in which it was received).



77



---

##### Table of Contents

Other shareholders general meetings must be called by no less than 30 days written notice. A notice convening a shareholders general meeting shall be served within 5 days after
the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive notice of and attend and vote at such General Meeting that is fixed by the Board and is not more than 60 days and not less than 45 days prior to an Annual General Meeting and a
General Meeting called for the passing of a Special Resolution or for the election of Directors and not more than 45 days and not less than 30 days prior to any other General Meeting. A notice convening a shareholders general meeting must be
sent to each of the shareholders, provided that the accidental failure to give notice of a meeting to, or the non-receipt of notice of a meeting by, any person entitled to receive notice will invalidate the proceedings at that meeting to which such
notice refers in the event that a shareholder holding not less than 5% of our outstanding share capital is not in attendance at that general meeting as a result of the accidental failure to give notice or non-receipt thereof. All shareholders are
entitled to attend the shareholders general meeting or be represented by a proxy authorized in writing.

The agenda of the
shareholders general meeting is determined by our board of directors or by whoever else is calling the meeting. The quorum for a shareholders general meeting will consist of shareholders representing 50.01% of the voting rights attached
to our issued shares present in person or by proxy.

Voting

Matters determined at shareholders general meetings require an ordinary resolution, which requires a simple majority of the votes cast at
any particular general meeting duly convened and quorate, unless our articles of association and the Companies Law specify differently. It is within the powers of the shareholders to have a resolution executed in writing by all shareholders and in
such event no meeting needs to take place or notice to be given.

Reserved Matters

Our articles of association provide for special majorities for resolutions concerning, among other things, the following matters (for so long
as class A shares are in issue and outstanding): (i) any variance to the rights attached to any class of shares requires approval of the holders of 75% of the shares of the affected class, passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the
shares of the relevant class, as well as a special resolution of the general meeting; and (ii) approval of the total number of shares and classes of shares to be reserved for issuance under any of our or our subsidiaries employee stock
option plan or any other equity-based incentive compensation program requires approval of a majority of not less than 75% of the voting rights attached to all issued shares present and voting at a duly convened and quorate general meeting.

Board of Directors

Appointment of Directors

Our articles of association provide that we shall have up to nine directors, including not less than three independent directors. As a foreign
private issuer, we have elected to follow Cyprus corporate governance practices, which, unlike the applicable Nasdaq requirements for domestic issuers, do not require the majority of directors to be independent.

It is understood that, if at a proposed general meeting there shall be elections of both non-independent directors and independent directors,
(i) there shall be two separate set of voting procedures, one with respect to the non-independent directors and one with respect to the independent directors; (ii) at each such procedure the shareholders shall have the number of votes
provided by the articles of association for the election of non-independent directors and independent directors respectively and (iii) voting procedure in respect of the minimum number of independent directors, being three directors, shall
take place first.

Any shareholder or group of shareholders is entitled to nominate one or more individuals for election (or re-election)
to our board of directors not less than 30 days prior to any general meeting at which all the non-independent directors are scheduled to be appointed. The board shall screen all submitted nominations for compliance with the provisions of our
articles of association following which it shall compile and circulate a final slate of nominees to be voted on at the general meeting to all the shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the relevant general meeting at least 15 days prior to
the scheduled date thereof.

Except as set out below, the non-independent directors are appointed by shareholder weighted voting, under
which each shareholder has the right to cast among one or more nominees as many votes as the voting rights attached to its shares multiplied by a number equal to the number of non-independent directors to be appointed. Non-independent directors are
appointed as follows: (1) the term of office of the non-independent directors shall be for a period from the date of the annual general meeting at which they were elected until the following annual general meeting; (2) all the
non-independent directors shall retire from office at each annual general meeting; (3) all retiring non-independent directors shall be eligible for re-election; and (4) the vacated position may be filled at the meeting at which the
non-independent directors retire by electing another individual nominated to the office of non-independent director by any shareholder or group of shareholders by serving a notice at least 30 days prior to such general meeting, and in default the
retiring non-independent director shall, if offering himself for re-election, be deemed to have been re-elected, unless at such meeting it is expressly resolved not to fill such vacated position or unless a resolution for the re-election of such
non-independent director shall have been put to the meeting and not adopted.

The independent directors are nominated by the board, a
shareholder or group of shareholders. All independent directors are appointed by shareholder weighted voting in the same manner as voting for non-independent directors. The independent directors will be appointed as follows: (1) the term of
office of each independent director shall be for a period from the date of the annual meeting at which such independent

##### Table of Contents

director has been duly elected and qualified until the following annual general meeting; (2) all the independent directors shall retire from office at each annual general meeting;
(3) all retiring independent directors shall be eligible for re-election; and (4) the vacated position may be filled at the meeting at which the independent directors retire by electing another individual nominated by any of the board, a
shareholder or a group of shareholders, and in default the retiring independent director shall, if offering himself for re-election and if he has been so nominated by the board, be deemed to have been re-elected, unless at such meeting it is
expressly resolved not to fill such vacated position or unless a resolution for the re-election of such independent director shall have been put to the meeting and not adopted.

At any moment of time after the appointment of the non-independent directors any director may request the board to screen the non-independent
directors for compliance with independence criteria within the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. In case the board determines that any elected director meets the criteria such non-independent director shall be re-classified as the independent
director.

In the event that the entire board of directors is terminated by a shareholder or a group of shareholders representing at least
10.01% of the voting rights attached to our issued shares, Board will remain in office only to summon a general meeting for purposes of (1) terminating the entire board pursuant to a request of the requesting members and (2) appointing new
non-independent directors, and new independent directors. If, for any reason, the number of directors falls below the number fixed by the articles of association as the necessary quorum for board meetings and the vacant positions are not filled as
per the above procedure within 21 days, the remaining directors may remain in office only to convene a general meeting, at which all directors must retire and new directors will be appointed as provided above.

Our board of directors can elect a chairman by an absolute majority of votes of all the directors provided that an affirmative vote of at
least one independent director is received (for so long as class A shares are in issue and are outstanding).

Removal of Directors

Under Cyprus law, notwithstanding any provision in our articles of association, a director may be removed by an ordinary resolution of the
general shareholders meeting, which must be convened with at least 28 days notice (under our articles of association at least thirty days notice is required). A director may be removed from office automatically if, among other
things, the director (a) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his or her creditors generally; or (b) becomes permanently incapable of performing his or her duties due to mental or physical illness or due to his or
her death. If our board of directors exercises its right to appoint a director to fill in a vacancy on the board created during the term of a directors appointment as provided in our articles of association, shareholders holding 10.01% of the
voting rights attached to our issued shares may terminate the appointment of the entire board of directors. See also Appointment of Directors.

Powers of the Board of Directors

Our
board of directors has been granted authority to manage our business affairs and has the authority to decide, among other things, on the following:



| | (a) | approval of strategy and annual budget and for the group;
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | approval of certain transactions, including material transactions (as defined in our articles of association), borrowings as well as transactions involving sale or disposition of any interest in any group company (other
than QIWI plc) or all or substantially all of the assets of any group company;
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | any group companys exit from or closing of a business or business segment, or a down-sizing, reduction in force or streamlining of any operation over certain thresholds as set out in our articles of association;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | any merger, consolidation, amalgamation, conversion, reorganization, scheme of arrangement, dissolution or liquidation involving any group company (other than ourselves);
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (e) | entry into any agreement or transaction with a related party except for: (1) transactions in the ordinary course of business (as defined in our articles of association) on an arms length basis,
(2) intra-group transactions, (3) transactions at a price less than U.S.$50,000 (if the price can be determined at the time the transaction is entered into);
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (f) | issuance and allotment of shares by us for consideration other than cash; and
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (g) | adoption of any employee stock option plan or any other equity-based incentive compensation program for our group (subject to a general meeting approving the total number of shares and classes of shares to be reserved
for issuance under any such program).
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our board of directors may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow or raise
money.

Proceedings of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors meets at such times and in such manner as the directors determine to be necessary or desirable. For as long as any class
A shares are issued and outstanding, the quorum necessary for a meeting of our board of directors to be validly convened is a simple majority of the total number of the non-independent directors and the then existing independent directors.

A resolution at a duly constituted meeting of our board of directors is approved by an absolute majority of votes of all the directors unless
a higher majority and/or affirmative vote of any independent directors is required on a particular matter. The chairman does not have a second or casting vote in case of a tie. A resolution consented to in writing, signed or approved by all
directors will be as valid as if it had been passed at a meeting of our board of directors when signed by all the directors.

##### Table of Contents

Where a director has, directly or indirectly, an interest in a contract or proposed contract,
that director must disclose the nature of his or her interest at the meeting of the board of directors and may not vote on such contract or arrangement.

Chief Executive Officer

Our board of
directors may by an absolute majority of votes of all the directors appoint a director to be our chief executive officer to be in charge and responsible for all day-to-day affairs of our group. Our chief executive officer is to be appointed for such
period and on such terms as our board of directors thinks fit, and, subject to the terms of any agreement entered into in any particular case, his appointment may be terminated by our board of directors at any time as provided in our articles of
association. The term of appointment for our chief executive officer shall be for a period from the date of his appointment until the first meeting of the board on the second year after the date of his appointment.

Rights Attaching to Shares

Voting
rights. For so long as class A shares are in issue and are outstanding, each class A share has the right to ten votes at a meeting of our shareholders; and each class B share has the right to one vote at a meeting of our shareholders.

Issue of shares and pre-emptive rights. Subject to the Cypriot law and our articles of association, already authorized but not yet issued
shares are at the disposal of our board of directors, which may allot or otherwise dispose of any unissued shares as it may decide. All new shares and/or other securities giving right to the purchase of our shares or which are convertible into our
shares must be offered before their issue to our shareholders on a pro-rata basis. If the new securities are of the same class as existing shares, the offer must first be made on a pro rata basis to the shareholders of the relevant class and, if any
such new securities are not taken up by those shareholders, an offer to purchase the excess will be made to all other shareholders on a pro rata basis (provided that such pre-emption rights have not been disapplied). Our shareholders have authorized
the disapplication of the right of pre-emption set out above for a period of five years from the date of the completion of our initial public offering in connection with the issue of up to an additional 52,000,000 class B shares, including in the
form of ADSs.

Conversion. At the irrevocable request of any class A shareholder, all or part of the class A shares held by such
shareholder will convert into class B shares, on the basis that each class A share shall convert into one class B share, and the class B shares resulting from such conversion shall rank pari passu in all respects with the existing class B shares in
issue.

In addition, class A shares will be automatically converted into class B shares, on a one-to-one basis, in the following
circumstances: (1) all class A shares which are transferred by the holder, except in circumstances permitted under our articles of association, shall, immediately upon such transfer, be automatically converted into class B shares; (2) all
class A shares held by a shareholder will be automatically converted into class B shares on the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in our articles of association) of the class A shareholder; and (3) all class A shares will be
automatically converted into class B shares in the event that the aggregate number of class A shares constitute less than 10% of the aggregate number of class A and class B shares outstanding.

For so long as class A shares are in issue and are outstanding , class A shares will not convert into class B shares where: (1) the
transfer is to one or more of the transferors directly or indirectly controlled affiliates; (2) 10% or more of the total number of class A shares in issue are transferred; (3) the transfer is to one or more of the existing class A
shareholders; and (4) the transfer is to the person(s) that was (were) the ultimate beneficial owner of class A shareholder at the time of Listing. In the case of (2) above the transfer of A shares is permitted if: (a) it is approved
in writing by the shareholders holding in aggregate at least 75% of the total number of class A shares in issue; or (b) the shareholder (or a group of shareholders) transferring class A shares has (or have) offered such shares to the other then
existing shareholders holding class A shares in accordance with the procedure set out in the articles of association.

Dividend. For so
long as class A shares are in issue and are outstanding, our board may declare dividend, including final dividend, but no dividend will be paid except out of our profits. Our board of directors may set aside out of our profits such sums as it thinks
proper as a reserve. The board of directors may also, without establishing a reserve, carry forward to the next year any profits it may think prudent not to distribute as a dividend. The class A shares and the class B shares have the right to an
equal share in any dividend or other distribution we pay. Please see Dividend Policy for more details.

Winding Up. If our
company is wound up, the liquidator may, upon a special resolution and any other procedure prescribed by the Cypriot law, (i) divide all or part of our assets among the shareholders; and (ii) vest the whole or any part of such assets in
trustees for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator shall think fit, but so that no shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities with any attached liability.

Form and transfer of shares. The instrument of transfer of any share must be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and the transferee,
and the transferor will be deemed to be the holder of the share until the name of the transferee is entered into the register of shareholders. Except as set out above and in our articles of association, shareholders are entitled to transfer all or
any of their shares by instrument of transfer in any usual or common form or in any other form, including electronic form, which the directors may approve.

##### Table of Contents

There is no limitation under Cypriot law or our articles of association on the right of
non-Cypriot residents or nationals to own or vote our shares.

Relevant Provisions of Cypriot law

The liability of our shareholders is limited. Under the Cypriot law, a shareholder of a company is not personally liable for the acts of the
company, except that a shareholder may become personally liable by reason of his or her own acts.

As of the date of this annual report,
Cypriot law does not contain any requirement for a mandatory offer to be made by a person acquiring shares or depositary receipts of a Cypriot company even if such an acquisition confers on such person control over us if neither the shares nor
depositary receipts are listed on a regulated market in the European Economic Area (EEA). Neither our shares nor depositary receipts are listed on a regulated market in the EEA.

Cypriot companies law contains provisions in respect of squeeze-out rights. The effect of these provisions is that, where a company makes a
takeover bid for all the shares or for the whole of any class of shares of another company, and the offer is accepted by the holders of 90% in value of the shares concerned, the offeror can upon the same terms acquire the shares of shareholders who
have not accepted the offer, unless such persons can persuade the Cypriot courts not to permit the acquisition. If the offeror company already holds more than 10%, in value of the shares concerned, additional requirements need to be met before the
minority can be squeezed out. If the company making the takeover bid acquires sufficient shares to aggregate, together with those which it already holds, more than 90%, then, within one month of the date the the bidder holds more than 90%, it must
give notice of the fact to the remaining shareholders and such shareholders may, within three months of receiving such notice, demand that the bidder acquire their shares upon the same terms as in the takeover offer or as may be agreed between them
or upon such terms as the court may order.

The following summary of the Cypriot tax, Russian tax and United States
federal income tax consequences of ownership of the ADSs is based upon laws, regulations, decrees, rulings, income tax conventions (treaties), administrative practice and judicial decisions in effect at the date of this annual report. Legislative,
judicial or administrative changes or interpretations may, however, be forthcoming that could alter or modify the statements and conclusions set forth herein. Any such changes or interpretations may be retroactive and could affect the tax
consequences to holders of the ADSs. This summary does not purport to be a legal opinion or to address all tax aspects that may be relevant to a holder of the ADSs. Each prospective holder is urged to consult its own tax adviser as to the particular
tax consequences to such holder of the ownership and disposition of the ADSs, including the applicability and effect of any other tax laws or tax treaties, of pending or proposed changes in applicable tax laws as of the date of this annual report,
and of any actual changes in applicable tax laws after such date.



Material
Cypriot Tax Considerations

Tax residency

As a rule, a company is considered to be a resident of Cyprus for tax purposes if its management and control are exercised in Cyprus. The
Cyprus Tax Authorities have published documents which indicate, for their purposes, the minimum requirements that need to be satisfied for a company to be considered a tax resident of Cyprus are the following: (i) whether the company is
incorporated in Cyprus and is a tax resident only in Cyprus; (ii) whether the companys Board of Directors has a decision making power that is exercised in Cyprus in respect of key management and commercial decisions necessary for the
companys operations and general policies and, specifically, whether the majority of the Board of Directors meetings take place in Cyprus and the Board of Directors Minutes are prepared and kept in Cyprus, and, also, whether the majority
of the Board of Directors are tax residents of Cyprus; (iii) whether the shareholders meetings take place in Cyprus; (iv) whether the terms and conditions of the issued by the company general powers of attorney do not prevent the
company and its Board of Directors to exercise control and make decisions; (v) whether the corporate seal and all statutory books and records are maintained in Cyprus ; (vi) whether



81



---

##### Table of Contents

the corporate filings and reporting functions are performed by representatives located in Cyprus; (vii) whether the agreements relating to the companys business or assets are executed
or signed in Cyprus. We consider the company to be a resident of Cyprus for tax purposes. However, taking into consideration that the majority of the board of directors is comprised of tax residents of Russia, the shareholders meetings took
place in Russia and a number of other factors which may be treated as not fully in line with the abovementioned requirements, our tax residency in Cyprus may be challenged by the relevant tax authorities.

Moreover, we may be deemed not to be a tax resident in Cyprus due to the implication of the Russian laws, for further details see risk factor
Item 3.D Risk Factors  Risks Related to Taxation  We may be deemed to be a tax resident outside of Cyprus.

With respect to the holders of our ADSs, such holder may be considered to be a resident of Cyprus for tax purposes in a tax year (which is the
calendar year) if such holder is physically present in Cyprus for a period or periods exceeding in aggregate more than 183 days in that calendar year.

The holding and disposal of the ADSs by a non-tax resident will not create any tax liability in Cyprus. Non-tax residents are not liable for
any tax on the disposal of shares or other securities of a Cyprus company unless the Cyprus company is the owner of immovable property situated in Cyprus.

Taxation of Cyprus Resident Company

A
company which is considered a resident of Cyprus for tax purposes is subject to corporate income tax in Cyprus, on its worldwide income, taking into account certain exemptions. The rate of Corporate Income Tax in Cyprus is 12.5% as of January 1
2013. By law 187(I)2015 the Income Tax Law No.118 (I) of 2002 was amended introducing a concept of notional interest deduction (the NID) on equity capital. According to the amended Income Tax Law, with effect from 1st January 2015, (i) companies resident in Cyprus and (ii) companies not resident in Cyprus but which maintain a permanent establishment in Cyprus are entitled to a deduction of notional
interest of up to 80% of their taxable income on new equity capital introduced after that date, which is effectively a tax allowable deduction against the taxable profits of the company.

Special defense contribution, or Cypriot Defense Tax, is levied on certain types of income of tax residents of Cyprus.

Taxation of Dividends and Distributions

Under Cyprus legislation there is no withholding tax on dividends paid to non-residents of Cyprus. The dividend will be paid free of any tax to
the shareholder who will be taxed according to the laws of his country of residence or domicile. Holders of ADSs must consult their own tax advisors on the consequences of their residence or domicile in relation to the taxes applied to the payment
of dividends.

Individual tax residents of Cyprus are unconditionally exempt from Income tax on dividend income, but are subject to
Special Contribution to the Defense Fund on dividends at the rate of 17.0%. The tax is withheld by the company prior to payment by the company to the shareholder.

Taxation of Capital Gains

Cyprus Capital
Gains Tax is imposed (when the disposal is not subject to income tax) at the rate of 20.0% on gains from the disposal of immovable property situated in Cyprus including gains from the disposal of shares in companies which own immovable property in
Cyprus, and such shares are not listed in any recognized stock market. It is unclear whether this exception also applies to disposal of the ADSs.

Inheritance Tax

There is no Cyprus
inheritance tax.

Deemed Distributions

A Cypriot company which does not distribute at least 70% of its after tax profits within two years of the end of the year in which the profits
arose would be deemed to have distributed this amount as a dividend two years after that year end. The Cypriot Defense Tax, at a rate of 17% would be payable by the company on deemed dividends to the extent that its shareholders (both individuals
and companies) are Cyprus tax residents. Deemed distribution does not apply in respect of profits that are directly or indirectly attributable to shareholders that are non-resident in Cyprus. The Cypriot Defense Tax may also be payable on deemed
dividends in case of liquidation or capital reduction of the company. The company will debit such Cypriot Defense Tax paid against the profits attributable to such shareholders. The amount of deemed dividend distribution (subject to the Cypriot
Defense Tax) is reduced by any actual dividend paid out of the profits of the relevant year at any time up to the date of the deemed distribution. The profits to be taken into account in determining the deemed dividend do not include fair value
adjustments to movable or immovable property (if any). For the purpose of arriving at the profit subject to deemed distribution, any capital expenditure incurred for the acquisition of plant and machinery (excluding private saloon cars), and
buildings during the years 2012 to 2014 is deducted from the after tax profits.

Imposition of such a tax could have a material adverse
effect on our groups business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects and the trading price of the ADRs.

##### Table of Contents

Tax Position of Holders of ADSs with Respect to Distributions

There is no express provision in the Special Defense Contribution law on the treatment of holders of ADSs with respect to Cypriot Defense Tax
on dividends nor is there any specific guidance issued by the Cypriot tax authorities on the point. We are of the view that holders of ADSs will be subject to the same treatment as holders of shares with respect to the liability of Cypriot Defense
Tax on dividends and, therefore, the provision of sections  Taxation of Dividends and Distributions and  Deemed Distributions above would apply equally to the holders of ADSs.

Taxation of income and gains

Gains from the disposal
of securities

Any gain from disposal by the company of securities (the definition of securities includes shares and bonds of companies
and options thereon) shall be exempt from Corporate Income Tax irrespective of the trading nature of the gain, the number of shares held or the holding period and shall not be subject to the Cypriot Defense Tax. Such gains are also outside of the
scope of capital gains tax provided that the company whose shares are disposed of does not own any immovable property situated in Cyprus or such shares are listed in any recognized stock exchange.

Gains from Intellectual Property

Under
Cyprus IP box regime an 80% deduction is allowed from the net profit received from the use or disposal of IP rights. If a loss is resulting from the said activities, in this case only 20% of the resulting loss can be offset against income from other
sources or carried forward to be offset against income of subsequent tax years. That provision has a retroactive effect starting from the year 2012. The latest amendments to tax legislation provide that the NID and other deemed deductions can be
included in the calculation of the taxable profit/loss.

Tax treatment of the Foreign exchange differences

As of January 1, 2015 the Cyprus tax laws provide for all foreign exchange differences to be tax neutral from a Cyprus income tax
perspective (i.e. gains are not taxable/losses are not tax deductible) with the exception of forex gains/losses arising from trading in forex which remain taxable/ deductable. Regarding trading in forex, which remains subject to tax, the tax payers
have an option to make an irrevocable election whether to be taxed only upon realisation of forex rather than on an accruals/accounting basis.

Dividends to be received by the company

Dividend income (whether received from Cyprus resident or non-resident companies) is exempt from Corporate Income Tax in Cyprus. Dividend
income from Cyprus resident companies is exempt from the Cypriot Defense Tax whereas dividend income received from non-Cypriot resident companies is exempt from the Cypriot Defense Tax provided that either (i) not more than 50.0% of the paying
companys activities result, directly or indirectly, in investment income, or (ii) the foreign tax suffered is not significantly lower than the tax rate payable in Cyprus (currently interpreted to mean an effective tax burden of at least
6.25%). If the exemption for the Cypriot Defense Tax does not apply, dividends receivable from non-Cypriot resident companies are taxed at a rate of 17.0%. Foreign tax paid or withheld on dividend income received by the resident company can be
credited against Cypriot tax payable on the same income provided proof of payment can be furnished.

Interest income

The tax treatment of interest income of any company which is a tax resident of Cyprus will depend on whether such interest income is treated as
active or passive. Interest income which consists of interest which has been derived by a company which is a tax resident of Cyprus in the ordinary course of its business, including interest which is closely connected with
the ordinary course of its business will be subject to Corporate Income Tax at the rate of 12.5%, after the deduction of any allowable business expenses. Any other interest income will be subject to the Cypriot Defense Tax at the rate of 30.0% on
the gross amount of interest.

Specifically, interest income arising in connection with the provision of loans to related or associated
parties should be generally considered as income arising from activities closely connected with the ordinary carrying on of a business and should, as such, be exempt from Cypriot Defense Tax and only be subject to Corporate Income Tax.

Tax deductibility of expenses, including interest expense

The general principle of the Cyprus income tax law is that for an expense to be allowed as a deduction it must have been incurred wholly and
exclusively for the production of taxable income.

The Tax Circular 2008/14 issued by the Cypriot tax authorities provides guidance as to
the tax deductibility of expenses incurred in relation to the production of income which is exempt from Corporate Income Tax such as dividend income and profits/ gains on sale of securities. According to that tax circular:

(a) Any expenditure that can be directly or indirectly attributed to income that is exempt from tax is not deductible for Corporate Income Tax
purposes and cannot be set-off against other (taxable) sources of income.



83



---

##### Table of Contents

(b) Any expenditure that is attributable to both taxable and exempt income (i.e. general
overheads) should be apportioned based on a gross revenue ratio or based on an asset ratio. The taxpayer should select the method which is more appropriate and should use this method on a consistent basis.

Interest incurred in connection with acquisition (directly or indirectly) of shares in a 100% owned subsidiary company as of 1 January
2012 (irrespective of the tax residency status of the subsidiary) shall be deductible for Cypriot tax purposes. This would apply provided that the assets of the subsidiary do not include assets not used in the business. However, in case the
subsidiary possesses such assets, the deductibility of interest at the level of the holding company is limited only to the amount relevant to assets, used in the business.

The latest amendments to tax legislation introduce notional interest deduction under which the Cyprus companies that have issued additional
share capital starting from January 01, 2015 and afterwards will have the benefit of a notional interest that will be deducted from their taxable income for each tax year.

Arms length principle

There are no
specific transfer pricing rules or any transfer pricing documentation requirements in the Cyprus tax laws.

However, the arms length
principle in the Cyprus income tax law requires that all transactions between related parties should be carried out on the at an arms length basis, being at fair values and on normal commercial terms.

More specifically, under the arms length principle, where conditions are made or imposed upon the commercial or financial relations of
two businesses which differ from those which would have been made between independent parties, any profits which would have accrued to one of the party had the two businesses been independent, but have not so accrued, may be included in the profits
of that business and taxed accordingly. The amendment to the income tax law, effective as of January 01, 2015, extends the arms length principle by introducing the possibility of, in cases where two related Cyprus tax residents transact
and the Cyprus tax authorities make an upward arms length adjustment to one of them, effecting a corresponding downwards adjustment to the other one.

We cannot exclude that the respective tax authorities may challenge the arms length principle applied to transactions with our related
parties and therefore an additional tax liabilities may accrue. If additional taxes are assessed with this respect, they may be material.

Stamp duty

Cyprus levies stamp duty on an instrument if:



| |  |  | it relates to any property situated in Cyprus; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | it relates to any matter or thing which is performed or done in Cyprus.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------

There are documents
which are subject to stamp duty in Cyprus at a fixed fee (ranging from 0.05 to 35) and documents which are subject to stamp duty based on the value of the document. The above obligation arises irrespective of whether the instrument is
executed in Cyprus or abroad.

A liability to stamp duty may arise on acquisition of shares and such stamp duty would be payable where the
shares acquisition documents are executed in Cyprus or later brought into Cyprus as the companys shares that underlie the shares may be considered to be Cypriot property.

The stamp duty rates are as follows:



| |  |  | for contracts with a value of 1 to 5,000, there is no stamp duty payable;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the stamp duty is 1.50 per thousand for contracts with a value from 5,001 to 170,000; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the stamp duty is 2 per thousand for contracts with a value exceeding 170,000, with a cap of 20,000.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any documents that do not specify values incur a stamp duty of 35. In cases where the stamp duty Commissioner can estimate the value of
a document, he or she has the authority to impose stamp duty as per the above rates.

Withholding taxes on interest

No withholding taxes shall apply in Cyprus with respect to payments of interest by the company to non-Cyprus tax resident lenders (both
corporations and individuals).

There should be no withholding tax in Cyprus on interest paid by the company to Cyprus tax resident
lenders when the interest is considered as interest accruing from their ordinary course of business or interest closely connected with the ordinary course of their business.

Any payment of interest which is not considered as interest accruing from the ordinary course of business or interest income closely connected
with the ordinary course of business by the company to Cypriot tax resident (both corporations and individuals) lenders shall be subject to Cypriot Defense Tax at the rate of 30.0%, whereby the company is required to withhold such tax from the
interest.

##### Table of Contents

Capital duty

Capital duty is payable to the Registrar of Companies in respect of the registered authorized share capital of a Cypriot company upon its
incorporation and upon its subsequent increases thereon.

The capital duty rates are as follows:



| |  |  | 0.6% on the nominal value of the authorized share capital; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 20 flat duty on every issue, whether the shares are issued at their (par) nominal value or at a (share) premium.

With the reference to the above section Material Cypriot Tax Considerations we cannot exclude that we might be subject to additional tax
liabilities in case the respective authorities apply different rulings to the transactions carried out by us or in our respect, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion sets forth the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the ownership and
disposition of our ADSs or ordinary shares. The discussion is not a complete analysis or listing of all of the possible tax consequences and does not address all tax considerations that may be relevant to investors in light of their particular
circumstances. Special rules that are not discussed in the general descriptions below may also apply. In particular, the description of U.S. federal income tax consequences deals only with U.S. Holders that own our ADSs or ordinary shares as capital
assets. In addition, the description of U.S. federal income tax consequences does not address the tax treatment of special classes of U.S. Holders, such as banks and other financial institutions, insurance companies, persons holding our ADSs or
shares as part of a straddle, hedge, appreciated financial position, conversion transaction or other risk reduction strategy, U.S. expatriates, persons liable for alternative minimum tax, Medicare tax,
brokers or dealers in securities or currencies, holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, partnerships (or any entity treated as a partnership for U.S.
federal income tax purposes) and other pass-through entities, traders in securities who have elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, individual retirement accounts or other tax-deferred accounts, holders who acquired
shares pursuant to the exercise of an employee stock option or right or otherwise as compensation, tax-exempt entities, and investors who own directly, indirectly through certain non-U.S. entities, or constructively 10% or more of the voting power
or value of our aggregate shares outstanding. The following discussion does not address any tax consequences arising under the laws of any U.S. state or local or foreign jurisdiction, or under any U.S. federal laws other than those pertaining to
income tax.

The discussion is based on the laws of the United States, including the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the
Code, its legislative history, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, all as in effect at the date of this annual
report, and any of which may change, possibly with retroactive effect. Further, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not disagree with or will not challenge any of the conclusions reached and described herein. The discussion is also based, in
part, on representations by the depositary and assumes that each obligation under the depositary agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms.

In General

For purposes
of this discussion, a U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of our ADSs or ordinary shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax:



| |  |  | a citizen or individual resident of the United States;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation that is created in or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a trust if either (1) a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the
trust or (2) the trust has a valid election in effect to be treated as a U.S. person under applicable Treasury regulations.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our ADSs or ordinary shares, the U.S. federal income tax
treatment of such partnership and each partner will generally depend on the status and the activities of the partnership and the partner. Partnerships that hold our ADSs or ordinary shares, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their tax
advisers regarding the U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences applicable to them of the ownership and disposition of our ADSs or ordinary shares.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders of ADSs generally will be treated as the owners of the ordinary shares represented by the
ADSs. Accordingly, except as otherwise noted, the U.S. federal income tax consequences discussed below apply equally to U.S. Holders of ADSs or the underlying ordinary shares.

Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the particular tax consequences to them of the ownership and disposition of our ADSs or
ordinary shares under the laws of the United States (federal, state and local) or any other relevant taxation jurisdiction.

Taxation of Distributions

Subject to the discussion under  Passive Foreign Investment Companies below, the gross amount of a distribution made by
us with respect to the ordinary shares underlying our ADSs, including the full amount of any Cypriot withholding tax thereon, will be a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes includible in the gross income of a U.S. Holder to the extent paid
out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations. Because we do not intend to maintain
calculations of our earnings and profits on the basis of U.S. federal income tax principles, U.S. Holders should expect that any distribution paid will generally be reported to them as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Dividends received by individuals and other non-corporate U.S. Holders of our ADSs that are traded on Nasdaq will be eligible for beneficial rates of taxation provided we are not a PFIC during the year in which the dividend is paid or the prior
taxable year and certain other requirements, including stock holding period requirements, are satisfied by the recipient. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the relevant rules to their particular
circumstances.

Dividends will be included in a U.S. Holders income on the date of the U.S. Holders (or in the case of ADSs,
the Depositorys) receipt of the dividend. The amount of any dividend income paid in a foreign currency will be the U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date of receipt, regardless of whether the
payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. If the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, U.S. holders should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of dividend income. A U.S. Holder may
have foreign currency gain or loss if the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars after the date of receipt.

Sale or Other Disposition
of ADSs or Ordinary Shares

Subject to the discussion under  Passive Foreign Investment Companies below, a U.S.
Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon a sale or other disposition of its ADSs in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized from such sale or disposition and the U.S.
Holders adjusted tax basis in such ADSs, in each case, as determined in U.S. dollars. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain (taxable at a reduced rate for non-corporate U.S. Holders, such as individuals) or loss if, on the
date of sale or disposition, such ADSs were held by such U.S. Holder for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.

If a Russian tax is imposed on the sale or other disposition of our ADSs or ordinary shares, a U.S. Holders amount realized will include
the gross amount of the proceeds before deduction of the Russian tax. See Russian Tax Considerations Relevant to the Purchase, Ownership and Disposition of the ADSs for a description of when a disposition may be subject to taxation
by Russia. Because a U.S. Holders gain from the sale or other disposition of ADSs or ordinary shares will generally be U.S. source gain, a U.S. Holder may be unable to claim a credit against its U.S. federal tax liability for any Russian tax
on gains. In lieu of claiming a foreign tax credit, a U.S. Holder may elect to deduct foreign taxes, including the Russian tax, in computing taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. law. U.S. Holders should consult
their tax advisers as to whether any Russian tax on gains may be creditable against U.S. federal income tax on foreign source income from other sources.

The surrender of ADSs in exchange for ordinary shares (or vice versa) will not result in the realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and U.S. Holders will not recognize any gain or loss upon such a surrender. A U.S. Holders tax basis in withdrawn shares will be the same as such holders tax basis in the ADSs surrendered, and the holding period of
the shares will include the holders holding period for the ADSs.

Passive Foreign Investment Companies

In general, a non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
if either (i) 75% or more of its gross income consists of certain types of passive income or (ii) 50% or more of the fair market value of its assets (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) produce or are held for the
production of passive income. For this purpose, cash is categorized as a passive asset and our unbooked intangibles will be taken into account and generally treated as non-passive assets. We will be treated as owning our proportionate share of the
assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, 25% or more (by value) of the shares.

We do not believe that we were a PFIC for the taxable year ended December 31, 2015. We do not anticipate being a PFIC for our current
taxable year or in the foreseeable future, although we can make no assurances in this regard. Our status as a PFIC in any year depends on our assets and activities in that year. We have no reason to believe that our assets or activities will change
in a manner that would cause us to be classified as a PFIC for the current taxable year or for any future year. Because, however, PFIC status is factual in nature, may depend in part on fluctuations in the market price of our ADSs, is determined
annually, and generally cannot be determined until the close of the taxable year, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year. We could be a PFIC, for example, if our business and assets evolve in ways that
are different from what we currently anticipate. Furthermore, it is possible that the IRS may challenge our valuation of our goodwill and other unbooked intangibles, which may result in our company being classified as a PFIC.

If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ADSs, the U.S. Holder will generally be subject to an
increased amount of taxes and an interest charge, characterization of any gain from the sale or exchange of our ADSs as ordinary income, and other disadvantageous tax treatment with respect to our ADSs unless the U.S. Holder may make a
mark-to-market election (as described below). Further, if we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ADSs and any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries is also a PFIC, such U.S. Holder would be treated as
owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of each such non-U.S. subsidiary classified as a PFIC (each such subsidiary, a lower tier PFIC) for purposes of the application of these rules. U.S. Holders should consult their tax
advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.

##### Table of Contents

As an alternative to the foregoing rules, a U.S. holder of marketable stock in a PFIC
may make a mark-to-market election. A mark-to-market election may be made with respect to our ADSs, provided they are actively traded, defined for this purpose as being traded on a qualified exchange, other than in de minimis quantities,
on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter, but may not be made with respect to our ordinary shares as they are not marketable stock. We anticipate that our ADSs should qualify as being actively traded, but no assurances may be given in this
regard. If a U.S. Holder of our ADSs makes this election, the U.S. Holder will generally (i) include as income for each taxable year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of our ADSs held at the end of the taxable year over the adjusted
tax basis of such ADSs and (ii) deduct as a loss the excess, if any, of the adjusted tax basis of our ADSs over the fair market value of such ADSs held at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included
in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in our ADSs would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss resulting from the mark-to-market election. In addition, any gain such U.S. Holder recognizes
upon the sale or other disposition of our ADSs will be treated as ordinary income and any loss will be treated as ordinary loss, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark to market election. If a
U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election in respect of a corporation classified as a PFIC and such corporation ceases to be classified as a PFIC, the U.S. Holder will not be required to take into account the gain or loss described above during
any period that such corporation is not classified as a PFIC. In the case of a U.S. Holder who has held our ADSs during any taxable year in respect of which we were classified as a PFIC and continues to hold such ADSs (or any portion thereof) and
has not previously made a mark-to-market election, and who is considering making a mark-to-market election, special tax rules may apply relating to purging the PFIC taint of such ADSs. Because a mark-to-market election cannot be made for any lower
tier PFICs that we may own, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to such U.S. Holders indirect interest in any investments held by us that are treated as an equity interest in a PFIC for U.S. federal income
tax purposes.

We do not intend to provide the information necessary for U.S. Holders of our ADSs to make qualified electing fund
elections, which, if available, would result in tax treatment different from the general tax treatment for PFICs described above.

If a
U.S. Holder owns our ADSs during any taxable year that we are a PFIC, such U.S. Holder may be subject to certain reporting obligations with respect to our ADSs, including reporting on IRS Form 8621.

Each U.S. Holder should consult its tax adviser concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of purchasing, holding, and disposing of
our ADSs or ordinary shares if we are or become classified as a PFIC, including the possibility of making a mark-to-market.

An individual
U.S. Holder and certain entities may be required to submit to the IRS certain information with respect to his or her beneficial ownership of the ADSs, if such ADSs are not held on his or her behalf by a financial institution. This law also
imposes penalties if an individual U.S. Holder is required to submit such information to the IRS and fails to do so. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding application of the information reporting rules.

Russian Tax Considerations Relevant to the Purchase, Ownership and Disposal of the ADSs

The following is a summary of material Russian tax consequences relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposal of the ADSs. The summary is
based on the laws of the Russian Federation in effect on the date of this annual report. All of the foregoing is subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis, after the date of the annual report. The discussion with respect to Russian
legislation is based on our understanding of current Russian law and Russian tax rules, which are subject to frequent change and varying interpretations.

The summary does not seek to address the applicability of, and procedures in relation to, taxes levied by the regions and municipalities of
the Russian Federation. Nor does the summary seek to address the availability of double tax treaty relief, and it should be noted that there may be practical difficulties involved in claiming relief under an applicable double tax treaty. Prospective
holders should consult their own advisors regarding the tax consequences of investing in the ADSs and no representations with respect to the Russian tax consequences of investing, owning or disposal of the ADSs to any particular holder is made
hereby.

General

Many aspects of
Russian tax law, including Russian tax rules applicable to ADSs, are subject to significant uncertainty and lack interpretive guidance. Further, the substantive provisions of Russian tax law applicable to financial instruments may be subject to more
rapid and unpredictable change (including with a retroactive effect) and inconsistency than in jurisdictions with more developed capital markets or more developed taxation systems. In particular, the interpretation and application of such provisions
will, in practice, rest substantially with local tax inspectorates. In practice, the interpretation of tax law by different tax inspectorates may be inconsistent or contradictory and may result in the imposition of conditions, requirements or
restrictions not provided for by the existing legislation. Similarly, in the absence of binding precedents, court rulings on tax or related matters by different Russian courts relating to the same or similar circumstances may be inconsistent or
contradictory.

For the purposes of this summary, a resident holder means a holder of ADSs who is:



| |  |  | An ADSs holder which is a legal entity or an organization and is:
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



87

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | a Russian legal entity;
| | - |  | -----------------------



| |  |  | a foreign legal entity or organization recognized as a Russian tax resident based on the provisions of an applicable double tax treaty (for the purposes of application of such double tax treaty);
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a foreign legal entity or organization recognized as a Russian tax resident based on Russian domestic law (in case the Russian Federation is recognized as the place of effective management of such legal entity or
organization as determined in the Russian Tax Code unless otherwise envisaged by an applicable double tax treaty);
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a foreign legal entity or organization which holds and/ or disposes of the ADSs through its permanent establishment in the Russian Federation,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an ADSs holder who is an individual and is actually present in Russia for an aggregate period of 183 calendar days or more in any period comprised of 12 consecutive months (the resident holder 
individual). Presence in the Russian Federation is not considered interrupted if an individual departs for short periods (less than six months) from Russia for medical treatment or education purposes as well as for the employment or other
duties related to the performance of works (services) on offshore hydrocarbons fields. The interpretation of this definition by the Russian Ministry of Finance states that, for tax withholding purposes, an individuals tax residence status
should be determined on the date of the income payment (based on the number of days in Russia in the 12-month period preceding the date of the payment). An individuals final tax liability in the Russian Federation for any reporting calendar
year should be determined based on the number of days spent in Russia in such calendar year.

For the purposes of this
summary, a non-resident holder is a holder of ADSs who does not fall under the definition of a resident holder above (including any legal entity or organization or individual).

Russian tax residency rules may be affected by an applicable double tax treaty. ADSs holders should seek professional advice on their tax
status in Russia.

Non-resident holders

Generally, a non-resident holder of ADSs should not be subject to any Russian taxes in respect of distributions made by us with respect to
class B shares underlying the ADSs.

Legal entities or organizations

A non-resident holder that is a legal entity or organization generally should not be subject to any Russian taxes in respect of the purchase of
the ADSs, any gain or other income realized on the sale, exchange or other disposal of the ADSs unless more than 50% of our fixed assets consist of immovable property situated in Russia. In this latest case, any proceeds from sale, exchange or other
disposal of ADSs would be regarded as Russian source income received by non-resident holders that are legal entities or organizations, subject to Russian income tax. Because the determination of whether 50% or more of our fixed assets consist of
immovable property situated in Russia is inherently factual and is made on an on-going basis, there can be no assurance that immovable property situated in Russia does not currently, or will not, constitute 50% or more of our fixed assets. The above
tax may be reduced or eliminated under an applicable double tax treaty, provided that the recipient of the income is its beneficial owner and the necessary requirements to qualify for the treaty relief and the appropriate administrative requirements
under the Russian tax legislation have been met.

Non-resident holders that are legal entities or organizations should consult their own
tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the sale, exchange or other disposal of the ADSs.

Individuals

A non-resident holder who is an individual should not generally be subject to Russian taxes in respect of any gains realized on the sale,
exchange or other disposal of ADSs, provided that the proceeds of such sale, exchange or disposal are not received from a source within Russia.

In the event that the proceeds from a sale, exchange or other disposal of ADSs are deemed to be received from a source within Russia, a
non-resident holder that is an individual may be subject to Russian tax in respect of such proceeds at a rate of 30% of the gain (such gain being computed as the sales price less any available documented cost deduction, including the acquisition
price of the ADSs and other documented expenses, such as depositary expenses and brokers fees), subject to any available double tax treaty relief, provided that the necessary requirements to qualify for the treaty relief and the appropriate
administrative requirements under the Russian tax legislation have been met. For example, holders of ADSs that are eligible for the benefits of the United States-Russia double tax treaty should generally not be subject to tax in Russia on any gain
arising from the disposal of ADSs, provided that the gain is not attributable to a permanent establishment or to disposal of shares in a Russian immovable property company (company with more than 50% of its fixed assets consisting of
immovable property situated in Russia (as defined in the treaty)). Because the determination of whether 50% or more of our fixed assets consist of immovable property situated in Russia is inherently factual and is made on an on-going basis, and
because the relevant Russian legislation and regulations are not entirely clear, there can be no assurance that immovable property situated in Russia does not currently, or will not, constitute 50% or more of our fixed assets. If 50% or more of our
fixed assets were to consist of immovable property situated in Russia, the benefits of the United States-Russia double tax treaty may not be available to an ADS holder.

According to Russian tax legislation, income received from a sale, exchange or other disposal of the ADSs should be treated as having been
received from a Russian source if such sale, exchange or other disposal occurs in Russia. Russian tax law gives no clear indication as to how to identify the source of income received from a sale, exchange or other disposal of securities except that
income received from the sale of



88



---

##### Table of Contents

securities in Russia will be treated as having been received from a Russian source. In absence of any guidance as to what should be considered as a sale, exchange or other disposal of
securities in Russia, the Russian tax authorities may apply various criteria in order to determine the source of the sale or other disposal, including looking at the place of conclusion of the transaction, the location of the issuer or
other similar criteria. There is no assurance, therefore, that proceeds received by non-resident holders  individuals from a sale, exchange, redemption or other disposal of the ADSs will not become subject to tax in Russia.

The tax may be withheld at source from payment only if the individual acts via a professional intermediary that is registered for the tax
purposes in Russia (such as trustee, dealer, broker or other intermediary acting to the benefit of the individual holder), otherwise the non-resident holder  individual shall be liable to file a tax return and pay the tax due.

Additionally, acquisition of the ADSs by a non-resident holder who is an individual may constitute a taxable event pursuant to provisions of
the Russian Tax Code relating to the material benefit (deemed income) received by individuals as a result of acquisition of securities. If the acquisition price of the ADSs is below the lower margin of fair market value calculated under a specific
procedure for the determination of market prices of securities for tax purposes, the difference may be subject to the Russian personal income tax at a rate of 30% (arguably, this would be subject to reduction or elimination under the applicable
double tax treaty).

As noted above with respect to the disposal of the ADSs, under Russian tax legislation, taxation of the income of
non-resident holders who are individuals will depend on whether this income would be assessed as received from Russian or non-Russian sources. Although Russian tax legislation does not contain any provisions on how the related material benefit
should be sourced, the tax authorities may infer that such income should be considered as Russian source income if the ADSs are purchased in Russia. In the absence of any additional guidance as to what should be considered as a purchase
of securities in Russia, the Russian tax authorities may apply various criteria in order to determine the source of the related material benefit, including looking at the place of conclusion of the acquisition transaction or other
similar criteria.

Non-resident holders who are individuals should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences
arising as a result of acquisition or disposal of the ADSs and the receipt of proceeds from source within the Russian Federation in their respect.

Double
Tax Treaty Procedures

Where a non-resident holder of ADSs receives income from a Russian source, the Russian tax (if applicable under
Russian domestic tax law) may be reduced or eliminated in accordance with the provisions of a double tax treaty. Advance treaty relief should be available for those eligible, subject to the requirements of the laws of Russia. In order for a
non-resident holder to benefit from the applicable double tax treaty, documentary evidence is required to confirm the applicability of the double tax treaty for which benefits are claimed. Currently, a non-resident holder is required to provide a
tax residence confirmation issued by the competent tax authority of the relevant treaty country (duly apostilled or legalized, translated into Russian and notarized). The tax residency confirmation needs to be renewed on an annual basis, and
provided before the first payment of income in each calendar year. In addition, a non-resident who is an individual must provide appropriate documentary proof of tax payments outside of Russia on income with respect to which treaty benefits are
claimed. Because of the uncertainties regarding the form and procedures for providing such documentary proof, individuals, in practice, may not be able to obtain advance treaty benefits on receipt of proceeds from a source within Russia, and it can
be extremely difficult to obtain a refund.

Starting from January 01, 2016, in order to obtain the double tax treaty relief at
source, a non-resident holderindividual should confirm to a tax agent that he or she is tax resident in a relevant foreign jurisdiction having a double tax treaty with Russia by providing the tax agent with (i) a passport of a foreign
resident, or (ii) another document envisaged by an applicable federal law or recognized as a personal identity document of a foreign resident in accordance with the double tax treaty, and (iii) upon request of the tax agent, a tax
residency certificate issued by the competent authorities of his or her country of residence for tax purposes. A notarized Russian translation of the certificate is required. The above provisions are intended to provide a tax agent with the
opportunity of applying reduced (or zero) withholding tax rates under an applicable double tax treaty at source. However, there is some uncertainty as to how these provisions will be applied by the Russian tax authorities in practice.

In addition, in order to benefit from the applicable double tax treaty, the person claiming such benefits must be the beneficial owner of the
relevant income. Starting from January 01, 2015, in addition to a certificate of tax residency, the Russian Tax Code allows the tax agent to require a confirmation from the non-resident holder  legal entity that it is the beneficial owner
of the relevant income. As of the date of this annual report there has been no guidance on the form of such confirmation and it is at the moment unclear how these measures will be applied in practice. Due to introduction of these changes, there can
be no assurance that treaty relief at source will be available in practice.

Non-resident holders should consult their own tax advisors
regarding possible tax treaty relief and procedures for obtaining such relief with respect to any Russian taxes imposed on proceeds received from a disposal of the ADSs.

Refund of Tax Withheld

If double tax treaty
relief is available but Russian tax has nevertheless been withheld at the source of payment, an application for the refund of the tax withheld may be made within three years from the end of the tax period in which the tax was withheld for
non-resident holders.

In order to obtain a refund, the non-resident holder is required to file with the Russian tax authorities, among
other documents, a duly apostilled or legalized, translated into Russian and notarized certificate of tax residence issued by the competent tax authority of the relevant treaty country at the time the income was paid, as well as documents confirming
receipt of such income and the withholding of Russian tax. In addition, a non-resident holder who is an individual is required to provide appropriate documentary proof of tax payments made outside of Russia with respect to which such tax refund is
claimed. The supporting documents shall be provided within one year after the year to which the treaty benefits relate to the non-resident holders who are individuals.

##### Table of Contents

The Russian tax authorities may, in practice, require a wide variety of documentation confirming
the right to benefits under a double tax treaty. Such documentation, in practice, may not be explicitly required by the Russian Tax Code. Obtaining a refund of Russian tax withheld may be a time consuming process and can involve considerable
practicable difficulties, depending to a large extent on the position of the local tax inspectorates.

Starting from January 01,
2016, if a non-resident holder  individual wishes to obtain a refund, he or she should provide a claim for a refund of the tax withheld and documents confirming the right for a refund under the Russian Tax Code to the tax agent. Since then a
claim for a refund and documents confirming the right for a refund under the Russian Tax Code can be filed within three years following the tax period in which the tax was withheld. In case there is no tax agent on the date of receipt by the
individual of confirmation of its tax residence status in a relevant foreign jurisdiction having an applicable double tax treaty with Russia, the individual can file a claim for a refund and documents confirming the right for a refund directly with
the Russian tax authorities.

Non-resident holders should consult their own tax advisors should they need to obtain a refund of Russian
taxes withheld on any payments received with respect to the ADSs.

Resident holders

A resident holder will generally be subject to all applicable Russian taxes in respect of the purchase of the ADSs and income received on the
ADSs, including any distributions on ADS, gains from their sale, exchange or other disposal.

Resident holders should consult their own
tax advisors with respect to their tax position regarding the ADSs.

The main risks that could
adversely affect our financial assets, liabilities or future cash flows are foreign exchange risk, liquidity and credit risk. Our management reviews and approves policies for managing each of the risks which are summarized below.

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange
risk is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates will adversely affect items in our statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position and/or cash flows. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities give rise to foreign
exchange exposure.

During the June 2014 secondary public offering, the Company increased its issued share capital by 2,292,330 class B
shares and received U.S. $ 88,942,404. These proceeds less certain amounts spent for ongoing business activities are accounted as deposits in other currency in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. Due to appreciation of
the U.S. dollar rate against ruble for the year 2015 by 30% and from the date of June 2014 secondary public offering to December 31, 2014 by approximately 64% , we received foreign exchange gain in the amount of RUB 1,476 million for the
year ended December 31, 2015 and RUB 1,947 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. We intend to use these assets for general corporate purposes including potential acquisitions.

Foreign currency sensitivity

The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in U.S. dollar and euro exchange rates, with all other
variables held constant. The impact on profit before tax is due to changes in the carrying amount of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in U.S. dollar and euro when these currencies are not the functional currencies of the respective Group
subsidiary. The Groups exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material.

Liquidity risk and capital management

We use cash from shareholders contributions, have sufficient cash and do not have any significant outstanding debt other than interbank
debt with short maturities (classified as due to banks). Deposits received from agents are also due on demand, but are usually offset against future payments processed through agents. We expect that agents deposits will continue to be offset
against future payments and not be called by the agents. Amounts due to customers and amounts due to banks and trade and other payables are due on demand.

The macroeconomic slowdown in Russia, caused among other things by falling oil prices and economic sanctions, which effectively limited access
to liquidity of key Russian banks led to liquidity shortage in the markets in which we operate. As a consequence, banks and entities in Russia substantially decreased credit limits in their everyday operations. Management noted that our merchants
and partners started, since the end of 2014, requesting from us larger collaterals to hedge their risks. We were able to manage these new requirements to date, though the liquidity shortage in the market may further exacerbate and consequently it
may have further negative effects on our operations which cannot be now reliably estimated.

According to CBR requirements, banks
capital calculated based on CBR instructions should be not less than 10% of its risk-adjusted assets. As of December 31, 2015, Qiwi Banks and Rapida LTDs capital ratio comprised 14% and 20% respectively, thereby exceeding the
required level. We monitor the fulfillment of requirements on a daily basis and send the reports to CBR on a monthly basis. During the year 2015 Qiwi Bank and Rapida LTD met the capital adequacy ratio requirements of CBR.

We manage our capital structure and make adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions. Capital includes share capital, share
premium, additional paid-in capital, other reserves and translation reserve. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, we may make dividend payments to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. Currently, we require
capital to finance our growth, but we generate sufficient cash from our operations. The table below summarizes the maturity profile of our financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments.

Credit risk

Financial assets, which potentially subject us and our subsidiaries and associates to credit risk, consist principally of trade receivables,
loans receivable issued, cash and short-term investments. We sell services on a prepayment basis or ensure that our receivables are from customers with an appropriate credit history  large merchants and agents with sufficient and appropriate
credit history. Our receivables from merchants and others, except for agents, are generally non-interest-bearing and do not require collateral. Receivables and loans from agents are interest-bearing and unsecured. We hold cash primarily with
reputable Russian and international banks, including the Central Bank of Russia, which management considers having minimal risk of default, although credit ratings of Russian and Kazakh banks are generally lower than those banks in more developed
markets. Short-term investments include fixed-rate debt instruments issued by the top Russian banks. The carrying amount of accounts receivable, net of allowance for impairment of receivables, represents the maximum amount exposed to credit risk for
this type of receivables. The table below demonstrates the largest counterparties balances as a percentage of respective totals:

Collection of receivables may be influenced by economic factors. Management believes that there is no
significant risk of loss to us beyond the allowance already recorded.

##### Table of Contents

The depositary collects its fees for delivery and surrender of ADSs directly from investors
depositing class B shares or surrendering ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by
selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary may collect its annual fee for depositary services by deduction from cash distributions or by directly billing investors or by charging the book-entry system accounts of
participants acting for them. The depositary may generally refuse to provide fee-based services until its fees for these services are paid.

From time to time, the depositary may make payments to us to reimburse and/or class B share revenue from the fees collected from ADS holders,
or waive fees and expenses for services provided, generally relating to costs and expenses arising out of establishment and maintenance of the ADS program. In performing its duties under the deposit agreement, the depositary may use brokers, dealers
or other service providers that are affiliates of the depositary and that may earn or share fees or commissions.

Payment of Taxes

You will be responsible for any taxes or other governmental charges payable on your ADSs or on the deposited securities represented by any of
your ADSs. The depositary may refuse to register any transfer of your ADSs or allow you to withdraw the deposited securities represented by your ADSs until such taxes or other charges are paid. It may apply payments owed to you or sell deposited
securities represented by your ADSs to pay any taxes owed and you will remain liable for any deficiency. If the depositary sells deposited securities, it will, if appropriate, reduce the number of ADSs to reflect the sale and pay to ADS holders any
proceeds, or send to ADS holders any property, remaining after it has paid the taxes.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The companys management, with the participation of the companys chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the
effectiveness of the companys disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2015. The term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and
other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods
specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of
possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of the companys disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2015, the companys chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date,
the companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Managements Report
on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. This rule defines internal control over financial reporting as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a companys
chief executive officer and chief financial officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management
assessed the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. This assessment was performed under the direction and supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, and based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that as of
December 31, 2015, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

Our management has excluded CIHRUS and its
subsidiaries from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, as it was acquired by us on June 02, 2015. CIHRUS and its subsidiaries are included in our consolidated financial statements as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2015 and constituted RUB 17,102 million or 41% and RUB 9,931 million or 44% of total and net assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2015 and RUB 2,922 million or 16% and RUB 21 million
or 0.4% of revenues and net income for the year then ended December 31, 2015. Under guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission, companies are allowed to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of internal control over
financial reporting during the first year of an acquisition.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2015 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLC, our independent registered public accounting firm. Their report may be found below:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Qiwi plc and subsidiaries

We have audited Qiwi plc and subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria
established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). Qiwi plcs management is responsible for maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted
our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over
financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union, and IFRS as published by the IASB. A companys
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate.

As indicated in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting,
managements assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of CIHRUS LLC and its subsidiaries acquired on June 2, 2015, which is included in the 2015
consolidated financial statements of Qiwi plc and subsidiaries and constituted RUB 17,102 million and RUB 9,931 million of total assets (including goodwill) and net assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2015 and RUB
2,922 million and RUB 21 million of revenues and net income, respectively, for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Qiwi plc (and subsidiaries) also did not include an evaluation of the internal
control over financial reporting of CIHRUS LLC and its subsidiaries.

In our opinion, Qiwi plc and subsidiaries maintained, in all
material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on the COSO criteria.

We also
have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statement of financial position of Qiwi plc as of December 31, 2014 and 2015, and the related consolidated
statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated cash flow statements for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015 and our report dated March 15, 2016 expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.

|When the share capital is divided into different classes of shares separate voting takes place for each class of shares the rights of which are effected by the change. In accordance with the Companies Law, the decision is passed by
a majority of two thirds of the votes corresponding either to the represented securities or to the represented issued share capital if less than half of the issued share capital is represented and a simple majority of at least half of the issued
share capital is represented. Under our articles of association, the decision is passed by a resolution of seventy five per cent vote of the holders of the shares of the relevant class, with the sanction of a special resolution of a general meeting
of our shareholders. |  | Generally, a certificate of incorporation may be amended by the approval of shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment. Shareholders generally have the right to amend the
corporations bylaws, but the certificate of incorporation may instead confer this right on the directors of the corporation. Except as provided in the certificate of incorporation, changes in the rights of shareholders as set forth in the
certificate of incorporation require approval of a majority of its shareholders.

Exemptions From Nasdaq Corporate Governance Requirements

The Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, or the Nasdaq Rules, provide that foreign private issuers may follow home country practice in lieu of the corporate governance
requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, subject to certain exceptions and requirements and except to the extent that such exemptions would be contrary to U.S. federal securities laws and regulations. The significant differences between our
corporate governance practices and those followed by U.S. companies under the Nasdaq Listing Rules are summarized as follows:



| |  |  | We follow home country practice that permits our board of directors to consist of less than a majority of independent directors, in lieu of complying with Rule 5605(b)(1) of the Nasdaq Rules that requires that the board
of directors consist of a majority of independent directors. Currently, five members of our board of directors that comprises nine members are independent with the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We follow home country practice that permits our board of directors not to implement a nominations committee or for directors to be nominated by a majority of our independent directors, in lieu of complying with Rule
5605(e) of the Nasdaq Rules that requires the implementation of a nominations committee or the nomination of directors by a majority of the independent directors. Subject to the rights of shareholders under Cyprus law to nominate directors to our
board, the methodology by which directors are nominated to our board is as set forth in Board of Directors Appointment of Directors.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We follow home country practice that permits us not to hold regular executive sessions where only independent directors are present, in lieu of complying with Rule 5605(b)(2) of the Nasdaq Rules that requires that
regular executive sessions are held where only independent directors are present. We do not hold regular executive sessions.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We follow home country practice that permits our compensation committee to not consist entirely of independent directors, in lieu of complying with Rule 5605(d) (1) of the Nasdaq Rules that requires that the board
of directors have a compensation committee consisting of entirely independent directors. In addition, although our compensation committee charter provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain a compensation consultant,
our compensation committee charter does not include all enumerated matters concerning retention of compensation consultants as set forth in Rule 5605(d)(3) of the Nasdaq Rules.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We follow home country practice that permits the board of directors, without shareholder approval, to establish or materially amend any equity compensation arrangements, in lieu of complying with Rule 5635(b) of
the Nasdaq Rules that requires that our shareholders approve the establishment or any material amendments to any equity compensation arrangements.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our board of directors has not made any determination with respect to the Companys intention to follow Rule 5635(a), (b), and (d) of the Nasdaq Rules, relating to matters requiring shareholder approval.
Cypriot law and our articles of association permit us, with approval of our board of directors and without shareholder approval, to take the following actions:
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Acquiring the stock or assets of another company, where such acquisition results in the issuance of 20% or more of our outstanding share capital or voting power, in contrast to Rule 5635(a) of the Nasdaq Rules, which
would require shareholder approval in order to enter into such acquisition.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Entering into any transaction which may result in a person, or group of persons acting together, holding more than 20% of our outstanding share capital or voting power. Such transactions may be considered a change of
control under Rule 5635(b) of the Nasdaq Rules, requiring shareholder approval. Notwithstanding the above, Cypriot law would not permit us to enter into any reorganization, merger or consolidation without shareholder approval.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Entering into any transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the company of shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares) equal to 20% or more of
the outstanding share capital of the Company or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance for less than the greater of book or market value of the stock, in contrast to Rule 5635(d), which would require shareholder approval for
such issuance of shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares).
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please see also Rights
Attaching to SharesIssue of Shares and Pre-emptive Rights for restrictions on the issuance of shares.

We are not permitted to
opt out of the requirement that we maintain an audit committee that consists entirely of independent directors and we currently comply with Rule 5605(c) of the Nasdaq Rules with respect to audit committee composition and practices.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Qiwi plc

We have
audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Qiwi plc as of December 31, 2014 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated
cash flow statements for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of Qiwi plc at December 31, 2014 and 2015, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union, and IFRS as published by the IASB.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Qiwi plcs internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated March 15, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

|2. | Principles underlying preparation of consolidated financial statements (continued)

|2.1 | Basis of preparation (continued)
|--- | --------------------------------



In accordance with European regulation No1606/2002 dated July 19, 2002, the 2015
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as endorsed by the European Union (available on the website http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/accounting/ias/
index_en.htm). Comparative figures are presented for 2014 and 2015 compiled using the same basis of preparation. For the reported periods, there are no differences as applies to the Group between the accounting standards and interpretations endorsed
by the European Union and the standards and interpretations published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Consequently, the Group accounts are prepared in accordance with the IFRS standards and interpretations, as published by
the IASB. These consolidated financial statements are based on the underlying accounting records appropriately adjusted and reclassified for fair presentation in accordance with IFRS. IFRS adjustments include and affect but not limited to such major
areas as consolidation, revenue recognition, accruals, deferred taxation, fair value adjustments, business combinations and impairment.



|2.2 | Basis of consolidation
|--- | ----------------------

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of QIWI
plc and its subsidiaries as of December 31 each year.

Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its
involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

Specifically, the Group controls an
investee if and only if the Group has:



| |  |  | Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee),
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

|2.2 | Basis of consolidation (continued)
|--- | ----------------------------------



When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers
all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:



| |  |  | The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Rights arising from other contractual arrangements.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Groups voting rights and potential voting rights.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls
an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group losses control
of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to
control the subsidiary. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

All intra-group balances, income, expenses and unrealized gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full, except for the
foreign exchange gains and losses arising on intra-group loans.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to
the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to
bring their accounting policies into line with the Groups accounting policies.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss
of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:



| |  |  | Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests, including any components of other comprehensive income attributable to them.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Recognises the fair value of the consideration received.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Recognises the fair value of any investment retained.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Reclassifies to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, the amounts previously recognized in OCI as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|2.3 | Changes in accounting policies
|--- | ------------------------------

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Groups annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, except for the adoption of the new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations as of
January 1, 2015. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Although these new standards and amendments apply for the first time in 2015, they do not have a material impact on the annual consolidated financial
statements of the Group. The nature and the impact of each new standard or amendment are described below:

Annual improvements2010-2012 Cycle

These improvements are effective from July 1, 2014 and the Group has applied these amendments for the first time in
these consolidated financial statements.

They include:

IFRS 2Share-based Payment

This improvement is applied prospectively and clarifies various issues relating to the definitions of performance and service conditions which are vesting
conditions, including:



| |  |  | A performance condition must contain a service condition
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A performance target must be met while the counterparty is rendering service
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A performance target may relate to the operations or activities of an entity, or to those of another entity in the same group
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A performance condition may be a market or non-market condition
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | If the counterparty, regardless of the reason, ceases to provide service during the vesting period, the service condition is not satisfied.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IFRS 3Business Combinations

The amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that all contingent consideration arrangements classified as liabilities (or assets) arising from a
business combination should be subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss whether or not they fall within the scope of IFRS 9 (or IAS 39, as applicable).

IFRS 8Operating Segments

The amendments are applied retrospectively and clarify that:



| |  |  | An entity must disclose the judgements made by management in applying the aggregation criteria in paragraph 12 of IFRS 8, including a brief description of operating segments that have been aggregated and the economic
characteristics (e.g., sales and gross margins) used to assess whether the segments are similar
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The reconciliation of segment assets to total assets is only required to be disclosed if the reconciliation is reported to the chief operating decision maker, similar to the required disclosure for segment liabilities.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the gross carrying amount of the asset to market value or by determining the market value of the carrying value and adjusting the gross carrying amount proportionately so that the resulting carrying amount equals the market value. In addition, the
accumulated depreciation or amortization is the difference between the gross and carrying amounts of the asset.

IAS 24Related
Party Disclosures

The amendment is applied retrospectively and clarifies that a management entity (an entity that provides key management
personnel services) is a related party subject to the related party disclosures. In addition, an entity that uses a management entity is required to disclose the expenses incurred for management services.

Annual improvements2011-2013 Cycle

These improvements are effective from July 1, 2014 and the Group has applied these amendments for the first time in these consolidated financial
statements.

| |  |  | This scope exception applies only to the accounting in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38:Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation |  | The amendments clarify the principle in IAS 16 and IAS 38 that revenue reflects a pattern of economic benefits that are generated from operating a business (of which the asset is part) rather than the economic benefits that are
consumed through use of the asset. As a result, a revenue-based method cannot be used to depreciate property, plant and equipment and may only be used in very limited circumstances to amortize intangible assets.                                                                                                                                                             |  | The amendments are effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. These amendments are not expected to have any impact to the Group given that the Group has not used
a revenue-based method to depreciate its non-current assets.

Under IFRS 15 revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The principles in IFRS 15 provide a more structured approach to measuring and recognizing revenue. The new revenue standard is applicable to all entities and
will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS.                                               |  | Either a full or modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 15 and plans to adopt the
new standard on the required effective date.

manner that faithfully represents those transactions. Under IFRS 16 a lessee is required to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease. The new standard is applicable to all lease and sublease contracts except for leases of certain types
of intangibles and some other specific assets and will supersede all current requirements for lease recognition and disclosure under IFRS. |  | IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Earlier application is permitted for entities that apply IFRS
15 at or before the date of initial application of IFRS 16. The Group is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 16 and plans to adopt the new standard on
the required effective date.

|Amendments to IFRS 5 Non-current
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations                  |  | Assets (or disposal groups) are generally disposed of either through sale or distribution to owners. The amendment clarifies that changing from one of these disposal methods to the other would not be considered a new plan of
disposal, rather it is a continuation of the original plan. There is, therefore, no interruption of the application of the requirements in IFRS 5.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |  | The amendments are effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted.

interim financial report (e.g., in the management commentary or risk report). The other information within the interim financial report must be available to users on the same terms as the interim financial statements and at the same time.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |  | The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted.

|Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception |  | The amendments address issues that have arisen in applying the investment entities exception under IFRS 10.The amendments to IFRS 10 clarify that the exemption from presenting consolidated financial statements applies to a parent
entity that is a subsidiary of an investment entity, when the investment entity measures all of its subsidiaries at fair value. Furthermore, the amendments to IFRS 10 clarify that only a subsidiary of an investment entity that is not an investment
entity itself and that provides support services to the investment entity is consolidated. All other subsidiaries of an investment entity are measured at fair value. The amendments to IAS 28 allow the investor, when applying the equity method, to
retain the fair value measurement applied by the investment entity associate or joint venture to its interests in subsidiaries. |  | These amendments must be applied retrospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. These amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Group.

|Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes:
Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses |  | The amendments to IAS 12 clarify the accounting for deferred tax assets for unrealised losses on debt instruments measured at fair value.
The clarifications refer to accounting for deferred tax assets when an entity: 
    has deductible temporary differences relating to unrealised losses on debt instruments
that are classified as available-for-sale financials assets and measured at fair value; 
    is not allowed to deduct unrealised losses for tax purposes;
     has the ability and
intention to hold the debt instruments until the unrealised loss reverses; and 
    has insufficient taxable temporary differences and no other probable taxable profits
against which the entity can utilise those deductible temporary differences.                                                                                                                                                               |  | These amendments must be applied retrospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted.

Initiative                                                   |  | The amendments to IAS 7 come with the objective that entities shall provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements
to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes. According to the amendments an entity shall disclose the following changes in liabilities arising from
financing activities:

|3. | Summary of significant accounting policies
|-- | ------------------------------------------

Set out below are the principal accounting policies used to
prepare these consolidated financial statements:



|3.1 | Business combinations and goodwill
|--- | ----------------------------------

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition
method.

Consideration transferred includes the fair values of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred by the Group to the previous owners of the
acquiree, and equity interests issued by the Group. Consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration and share-based payment awards of the acquiree that are replaced mandatorily in the business combination.

If a business combination results in the termination of pre-existing relationships between the Group and the acquiree, then the Group identified any amounts
that are not part of what the Group and the acquiree exchanged in the business combination. The Group recognizes as part of application the acquisition method only the consideration transferred for the acquiree and the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in the exchange for the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, any previously held equity interest is
re-measured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. It is then considered in the determination of goodwill.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequently contingent consideration
classified as an asset or liability is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

The Group measures any non-controlling interest at its proportionate interest in the identifiable net assets of the acquiree.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling
interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has
correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the re-assessment still results in an excess of the fair value of
net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognized in profit or loss.

|3.1 | Business combinations and goodwill (continued)
|--- | ----------------------------------------------



After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the
purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Groups cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of
whether other assets or liabilities of the acquired are assigned to those units.

Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and certain
operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed in this
circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.



|3.2 | Investments in associates
|--- | -------------------------

The Groups investment in its associate is accounted for using the
equity method. An associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence.

Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is
carried on the statement of financial position at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Groups share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither
amortized nor individually tested for impairment.

The statement of comprehensive income reflects the Groups share of the results of operations of
the associate. When there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the associate, the Group recognizes its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealized gains and losses
resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate.

The Groups share of
profit of an associate is shown on the face of the statement of comprehensive income. This is the profit attributable to equity holders of the associate and, therefore, is profit after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of the
associate.

The financial statements of the associates are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to
bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to
recognize an additional impairment loss on its investment in its associates. The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group
calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of an investment in associate and its carrying value and recognizes respective loss in the statement of comprehensive income.

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Group measures and recognizes any retaining investment at its fair value. Any difference between
the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss.

|3.3 | Foreign currency translation
|--- | ----------------------------

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Russian rubles
(RUB), which is the Companys functional and the Groups presentation currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency, depending on what the underlying economic environment is, and items included in the financial
statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the functional currency rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured in to the functional currency at the functional currency rate of exchange at the reporting date. All differences are taken to profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms
of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as of the dates of the initial transactions.

Non-monetary items measured
at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on retranslation of non-monetary items is treated in line with the recognition of gain or loss on
change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income or profit or loss is also recognized in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively).

The functional currency of the foreign operations is generally the respective local currency  US Dollar (U.S.$), Euro (), Kazakhstan
tenge (KZT), Belarussian ruble (BYR), Moldovan leu (MDL) and New Romanian leu (RON).

As of the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of these
operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (the Russian Ruble) at the rate of exchange at the reporting date and their statements of comprehensive income are translated at the average exchange rates for the year or
exchange rates prevailing on the date of specific transactions. The exchange differences arising on the translation are recognized in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognized in equity
relating to that particular foreign operation is reclassified to the profit or loss.

The exchange rates of the Russian ruble to each respective currency
as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

|--- | ----------------------



|3.4.1 | Cost of property and equipment
|----- | ------------------------------

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss. Expenditures for continuing repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit or loss as incurred.



|3.4.2 | Depreciation and useful lives
|----- | -----------------------------

Depreciation is calculated on property and equipment on a
straight-line basis from the time the assets are available for use, over their estimated useful lives as follows:



|                                             |  |  |            |

|Other equipment                              |  |  | 2-7 years  | 

The assets residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each
financial year-end.



|3.5 | Intangible assets
|--- | -----------------



|3.5.1 | Software and other intangible assets
|----- | ------------------------------------

Software and other intangible assets acquired separately
are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of other intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value as of the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any
accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the cost model is
applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortized over the period
of expected generation of future benefits, generally 3-5 years. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.



|3.5.2 | Software development costs
|----- | --------------------------

Development expenditure on an individual project is recognized as an
intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will
generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the asset and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development.



|3.5.3 | Useful life and amortization of intangible assets
|----- | -------------------------------------------------

The Group assesses whether the useful life of
an intangible asset is finite or indefinite and, if finite, the length of that useful life. An intangible asset is regarded by the entity as having an indefinite useful life when, based on an analysis of all of the relevant factors, there is no
foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate net cash inflows for the entity.

|3.5 | Intangible assets (continued)
|--- | -----------------------------



Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful economic lives and
assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. Below is the summary of useful lives of intangible assets:



|                                                               |  |  |            |

|Bank license                                                   |  |  | indefinite |  
|Trademarks and other rights                                    |  |  | 2-5 years  |  



| | * | The terms of useful life could differ of those stated if it is directly stipulated by agreement
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amortization
periods and methods for intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at least at each financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are
accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting estimates.

Intangible assets with
indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to
be supportable. Indefinite-lived intangible assets include the acquired licenses for banking operations. It is considered indefinite-lived as the related license is expected to be renewed indefinitely.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of
the asset and are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income when the asset is derecognized.



|3.6 | Impairment of non-financial assets
|--- | ----------------------------------

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an
indication that an asset, other than goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life, may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the assets
recoverable amount. An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets or cash-generating units fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate
cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair
value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used.

These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for
publicly traded subsidiaries, if applicable, or other available fair value indicators.

The Group bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and
forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Groups cash generating units (CGU), to which the individual assets are allocated.

|3.6 | Impairment of non-financial assets (continued)
|--- | ----------------------------------------------



These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years or longer, when management
considers appropriate. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the last year.

Impairment
losses of continuing operations are recognized in profit or loss in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

For
assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group makes an
estimate of recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the
case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount.

That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have
been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in profit or loss. The following criteria are also applied in assessing impairment of specific assets:

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and
when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units, to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating units is less than their carrying amount an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. The Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as of December 31
and whenever certain events and circumstances indicate that its carrying value may be impaired.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually as of December 31, either individually or at the cash generating unit
level, as appropriate and whenever events and circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired.



|3.7 | Financial assets
|--- | ----------------



|3.7.1 | Initial recognition and measurement
|----- | -----------------------------------

Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are
classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognized initially, they are measured
at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets on initial recognition and, where allowed and
appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, which is the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or
sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

|3.7.2 | Subsequent measurement
|----- | ----------------------

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at
fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term.

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value
recognized in change in fair value of derivative financial assets, other gains or other losses in the statement of comprehensive income.

Financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at their initial recognition date and only if the
criteria under IAS 39 are satisfied.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial
measurement, loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method less any allowance for impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognized or
impaired, as well as through the amortization process.

Debt instruments

Debt instruments and financial investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities, which the Group has
the intention and ability to hold to maturity. After initial measurement, held-to-maturity financial investments are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR), less impairment.

If the Group sold or reclassified more than an insignificant amount of debt instruments before maturity (other than in certain specific circumstances), the
entire category would be tainted and would have to be reclassified as available-for-sale. Furthermore, the Group would be prohibited from classifying any financial asset as held to maturity during the following two years.

AFS financial assets

AFS financial assets include equity
investments. Equity investments classified as AFS are those that are neither classified as held for trading nor designated at fair value through profit or loss.

After initial measurement, AFS financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized in OCI and credited in the
AFS reserve until the investment is derecognized, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is recognized in other operating income, or the investment is determined to be impaired, when the cumulative loss is reclassified from the AFS reserve to the
statement of profit or loss in finance costs. Interest earned whilst holding AFS financial assets is reported as interest income using the EIR method.

|3.7 | Financial assets (continued)
|--- | ----------------------------



Due from banks and loans and advances to customers

Due from banks and Loans and advances to customers, include non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that
are not quoted in an active market, other than:



| |  |  | Those that the Group intends to sell immediately or in the near term and those that the Group upon initial recognition designates at fair value through profit or loss;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Those that the Group, upon initial recognition, designates as available for sale; or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Those for which the Group may not recover substantially all of its initial investment, other than because of credit deterioration.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After initial measurement, amounts Due from banks and Loans and advances to customers are subsequently measured at amortized cost,
less allowance for impairment.

Amortized cost

Held-to-maturity investments, due from banks and loans and advances to customers and debt issued, other funds lent and loans and receivables are measured at
amortized cost. This is computed using the EIR method less any allowance for impairment. Amortized cost is calculated taking into account any premium or discount on acquisition and includes transaction costs and fees that are an integral part of the
effective interest rate. The EIR amortization is included in interest income in the statement of comprehensive income. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in finance costs for loans and in cost
of sales or other operating expenses for receivables.



|3.7.3 | Impairment and derecognition of financial assets
|----- | ------------------------------------------------

Impairment

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

Assets carried at amortized cost

For financial assets
carried at amortized cost (such as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments), the Group first assesses individually whether objective evidence of impairment exists for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively
for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar
credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognized are not included in a collective assessment of
impairment.

|3.7 | Financial assets (continued)
|--- | ----------------------------



If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on assets carried at amortized cost has been incurred,
the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial
assets original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognized in profit or
loss.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the
impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the reversal date. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized
in profit or loss.

In relation to trade receivables, a provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence (such as the probability of
insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor) that the Group will not be able to collect all of the amounts due under the original terms of the invoice. The carrying amount of the receivable is reduced through use of an allowance
account. Impaired debts are derecognized when they are assessed as uncollectible.

AFS financial assets

For AFS financial assets, the Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that an investment or a group of investments is
impaired.

In the case of equity investments classified as AFS, objective evidence would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of
the investment below its cost. Significant is evaluated against the original cost of the investment and prolonged against the period in which the fair value has been below its original cost. When there is evidence of
impairment, the cumulative loss  measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in the profit or loss  is removed from OCI and
recognized in the profit or loss. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through profit or loss; increases in their fair value after impairment are recognized in OCI.

The determination of what is significant or prolonged requires judgement. In making this judgement, the Group evaluates, among other
factors, the duration or extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its cost.

Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when:



| |  |  | The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a pass-through
arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred
control of the asset.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through
arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Groups continuing involvement in the asset.

In that case, the Group also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the
rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at
the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.



|3.8 | Financial liabilities
|--- | ---------------------



|3.8.1 | Initial recognition and measurement
|----- | -----------------------------------

Financial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 are
classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Group determines the classification of its financial
liabilities at initial recognition.

Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value less, in the case of loans and borrowings, directly
attributable transaction costs.

The Groups financial liabilities include trade and other payables, bank overdraft, loans and borrowings.

|3.8 | Financial liabilities (continued)
|--- | ---------------------------------



The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial
recognition at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of
selling in the near term. This category includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria as defined by IAS 39.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in profit or loss.

The Group has not designated any financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

Loans, borrowings and payables

After initial
recognition, interest bearing loans, borrowings and payables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

Gains
and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the amortization process.



|3.8.2 | Derecognition of financial liabilities
|----- | --------------------------------------

A financial liability is derecognized when the
obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially
modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in profit or loss.



|3.8.3 | Offsetting financial assets and liabilities
|----- | -------------------------------------------

Financial assets and financial liabilities
are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if, and only if:



| |  |  | There is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | There is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The right of set-off:



| |  |  | Must not be contingent on a future event; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Must be legally enforceable in all of the following circumstances:
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | the normal course of business;
| | --- | ------------------------------



| | (ii) | the event of default; and
| | ---- | -------------------------



| | (iii) | the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity and all of the counterparties

|3.9 | Cash and cash equivalents
|--- | -------------------------



Cash comprises cash at banks and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or
less. All these items are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of financial position and statement of cash flows.



|3.10 | Employee benefits
|---- | -----------------



|3.10.1 | Short-term employee benefits
|------ | ----------------------------

Wages and salaries paid to employees are recognized as
expenses in the current period. The Group also accrues expenses for future vacation payments.



|3.10.2 | Social contributions and define contributions to pension fund
|------ | -------------------------------------------------------------

Under provisions of the
Russian legislation, social contributions include defined contributions to pension and other social funds of Russia and are calculated by the Group by the application of a regressive rate (from 30% to 10% in 2015, 2014 and 2013) to the annual gross
remuneration of each employee. For the year ended December 31, 2015 defined contributions to pension fund of Russia of the Group amounted to 269,622 (2014  221,895; 2013  191,497).



|3.11 | Provisions
|---- | ----------

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a
result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance
contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.

If the effect of discounting is
material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected value of future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where
discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as an interest expense.



|3.12 | Special contribution for defence of the Republic of Cyprus
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Dividend Distribution

Companies that do not distribute 70% of their profits after tax, as defined by the relevant tax law, within two years after the end of the relevant tax year,
are deemed to have distributed as dividends 70% of these profits. A special contribution for the defence fund of the Republic of Cyprus is levied at the 20% rate for the tax year 2013, at the 17% rate for 2014, 2015 and thereafter will be
payable on such deemed dividends distribution. Profits that are attributable to shareholders who are not tax resident of Cyprus and own shares in the Company either directly and/or indirectly at the end of two years from the end of the tax year to
which the profits relate, are exempted. The amount of deemed distribution is reduced by any actual dividends paid out of the profits of the relevant year at any time. This special contribution for defence is payable by the Company for the account of
the shareholders.

The Companys ultimate shareholders as at December 31, 2015 are non-Cypriot tax residents and as such the Cypriot deemed
dividend distribution rules are not applicable.

least 50% of its income directly or indirectly from activities which do not lead to investment income (active versus passive investment income test is met) or the foreign tax burden on the profit to be distributed as dividend has not
been substantially lower than the Cypriot corporate income tax rate (i.e. lower than 6,25%) at the level of the dividend paying company (effective minimum foreign tax test is met).

The Company has not been subject to defence tax on dividends received from abroad as the dividend paying entities are engaged in trading activities.



|3.13 | Income taxes
|---- | ------------

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation
authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Current
income tax relating to items recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Deferred income tax

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the
amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor
taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences
arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting
date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they
relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized
simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is
probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be
realized.

|3.14 | Revenue and certain expenses recognition
|---- | ----------------------------------------



Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and
the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenues and related cost of revenue from services are recognized in the period when services are rendered, regardless of when payment is made.

Payment processing fee revenues and related transaction costs

The Group earns a fee for processing payments initiated by the ultimate customers (consumers) to pay to merchants and service providers
(merchants) or transfer money to other individuals. Payment processing fees are earned from consumers or merchants, or both. Consumers can make payments to various merchants through kiosks or network of agents and banks participants of
payment system or through the Groups website or applications using a unique user login and password (e-payments). Payment kiosks are owned by third parties  cash collection agents (agents). When consumer payments are made,
the Group incurs payment costs to acquire payments payable to agents, banks-participants, mobile operators, international payment systems and other parties. The payment processing fee revenue and related receivable, as well as the transaction cost
and the related payable, are recognized at the point when merchants or individuals accept payments from consumers in the gross amount, including fees payable for payment acquisition. Payment processing fees and transaction costs are reported gross,
except for the consumer fees on payments collected through payment kiosks, which is recorded in the net amount receivable from the agents-owners of kiosks. Visa payment processing fee revenues and related transaction costs are reported net.

In accordance with terms and conditions of use of VISA QIWI Wallet accounts, the Group charges a fee to its consumers on the balance of unused accounts after
certain period of inactivity. Such fees are recorded as revenues in the period a fee is charged to a consumer.

The Group generates revenue from the
foreign currency conversion when payments are made in currencies different from the country of the consumer, mainly Russia. The Group recognizes the related revenues at the time of conversion in the amount of conversion commission representing the
difference between the current Russian or relevant country Central Bank foreign currency exchange rate and the foreign currency exchange rate charged by the Groups processing system.

Revenue from advertising and advertising commissions

Advertising revenues are fixed pursuant to contracts with customers, generally advertising agencies, and are recognized monthly based on agreed amount of
advertising that were displayed on electronic payment kiosks owned by agents in fixed by agreement period. Revenue from customers and commissions payable to agents for the use of kiosks is recognized gross.

The Group generates revenues from advertising through Short Message Service (SMS) through delivery of advertising messages to the Groups consumers
together with an SMS confirmation of payment made. The Group enters into agreements with advertising agencies and recognizes advertising revenue based on the number of SMS delivered to end consumers at the time of delivery of the respective SMS.

|3.14 | Revenue and certain expenses recognition (continued)
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------



Interest revenue from agents overdrafts

The Group charges interest on overdrafts to agents and includes them in revenue. Related revenues are recognized using the EIR method by applying the
contractually agreed interest rates to the actual daily amounts outstanding balance of overdrafts.

Revenue and cost from rent of space for kiosks

Revenue from rent of space for kiosks represents revenues received from agents for sublease of space rented from retail shops for installation of the
agents payment kiosks. Cost of rent of space for kiosks represents payments to retail shops.

The agreements for the lease of space for kiosks from
the retail shops and the agreements for the sublease of space for kiosks with the agents are based on a fixed monthly lease fee per one kiosk space. Therefore both lease revenue and cost from rent of space for kiosks are recognized on a
straight-line basis over the lease term for each kiosk space. Total revenue and expense for a reporting period is equal to the number of spaces leased multiplied by the applicable lease revenue and cost per single space.

Revenue from sale of kiosks and cost of kiosks sold

The
Group sells kiosks to Agents. Revenue and cost of revenue from sales of kiosks is recognized upon delivery of kiosks to Agents.

Interest revenue and
interest expense

For all financial instruments measured at amortized cost, interest bearing financial assets classified as available for sale and
financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss, interest income or expense is recorded using the EIR. The carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability is adjusted if the Group revises its estimates of payments
or receipts. Once the recorded value of a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been reduced due to an impairment loss, interest income continues to be recognized using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows
for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Interest income from bank loans and short- and long- term investments performed as part of the Groups treasury function is classified as part of revenues, Interest income derived from loans
issued to various third and related parties as part of other arrangements is classified as interest income. Cash receipts of both types of interest are included into interest received in the statement of cash flows.

Interest expense from bank borrowings intended to attract funds to offer them as agents overdrafts is classified as part of cost of revenue. Interest
expense derived from borrowings attracted from various third and related parties as part of other arrangements is classified as interest expense. Cash disbursements of both types of interest are included into interest paid in the statement of
cash flows.

Cash and settlement services

The Group
charges a fee for managing cash and deposits, including guarantee deposits from agents placed with the bank to cover consumer payments they accept. Related revenue is recorded as services are rendered or as transactions are processed.

|3.15 | Share-based payments
|---- | --------------------



Employees of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render
services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions).

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized, together with a
corresponding increase in other reserves in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date
reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Groups best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The statement of comprehensive income expense or credit for a period represents the
movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognized in payroll expense.

No expense is recognized for
awards that do not ultimately vest, except for equity-settled transactions for which vesting are conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition. These are treated as vested irrespective of whether or not the market or non-vesting condition is
satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the
minimum expense recognized is the expense that would have been incurred had the terms not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the
share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

When an equity-settled award is
cancelled, it is treated as if it vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognized for the award is recognized immediately. This includes any award where non-vesting conditions within the control of either the entity or the
employee are not met. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modification of the original
award, as described in previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of
diluted earnings per share.

The option awards that are outstanding as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 can only be settled in shares, which is why they
are accounted for as equity-settled transactions.

|3.16 | Leases
|---- | ------

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance
of the arrangement at inception date, whether fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

Group as a lessee

Operating lease payments are
recognized as an operating expense in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Group as a lessor

Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Initial
direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which
they are earned.



|3.17 | Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------

Non-current assets and disposal groups
classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through
a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to
the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

In the statement of
comprehensive income, income and expenses from discontinued operations are reported separately from income and expenses from continuing operations, down to the level of profit after taxes, even when the Group retains a non-controlling interest in
the subsidiary after the sale. The resulting profit or loss (after taxes) is reported separately in the statement of comprehensive income.

Property and
equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortized.



|4. | Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------

The preparation of consolidated financial
statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting dates and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future
periods.

Significant judgments

Revenue recognition

Payment processing fees
revenue and transaction costs

The Group exercised significant judgment in reaching a conclusion about its accounting policy for gross versus net
reporting of payment processing fee revenues and related transaction costs. In particular, there are two major sources of payment processing fee revenues:



| |  |  | Payment processing fees charged to consumers on payments collected through agents, mobile operators and other payment methods; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Payment processing fees charged to merchants.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------

Either one of the two types of payment processing fees above,
or in some cases, both payment processing fees apply to a single consumer payment. Transaction costs relate to acquisition of payments by agents, mobile operators, international payment systems and some other parties, and the applicable fees,
generally determined as a percentage of consumer payment, for each specific payment channel are on terms similar to those available to other market participants.

A merchants payment processing fee, when it is charged, is recorded gross of related transaction costs, because the Group (i) is the primary
obligor as it undertakes to transfer the consumer payment to the merchant or other individual using its payment processing system; (ii) it negotiates and ultimately sets the fee receivable from a merchant or consumer, generally as a percentage
of payments; and (iii) it bears credit risk in most of the cases, unless the payment is made from a deposit made with the Group.

A consumer payment
processing fee, when it is charged on payments made by consumers through payment kiosks, is reported net of any transaction costs payable to or retained by agents. This is because, although the Group is the primary obligor, it does not have any
discretion over the ultimate payment processing fee set by the agent to the consumer, does not have readily available information about gross fee, and is only exposed to the net amount of fee receivable from agents.

A consumer payment processing fee revenue collected through mobile operators and other payment methods is reported gross of related transaction costs. Such
payments are made by consumers through the Groups website or an application using a unique user login and password, and are called e-payments. In contrast with the consumer payment processing fee revenue collected through payment kiosks, the
Group, being a primary obligor in e-payment transactions, also sets the consumers payment processing fee, generally as a percentage of payment, although credit risk for these transactions is limited. Thus, the Group concluded that its ability
to control the consumer payment processing fee for e-payments is a key differentiator from the consumer payment processing fees on payments collected through payment kiosks.

The total amounts of transaction costs reported gross for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, are 5,065,182, 5,078,984 and 6,300,093
respectively, including the transaction costs for e-payments of 1,236,890, 1,505,827 and 2,241,234, respectively.

Revenue from advertising and
advertising commissions

The Group concluded that it needs to report these SMSs advertising revenues gross of related SMS expenses. The conclusion
is based on the fact that the Group acts a principal in the transaction, because it is ultimately responsible for the delivery of service, has discretion over a choice of SMS delivery channel, determines the price and bears credit risk.

|----------- | ---------------------



Revenue from cash and settlement services

The Group charges a fee for managing special guarantee deposit accounts made by agents to cover consumer payments they accept. Related revenues in the amounts
of 462,332, 756,558 and 547,743 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, are reported gross of transaction costs paid to the same agents for collection of consumer payments, because these revenues relate to a separate service
having distinct value to agents and are provided at their discretion.

Functional currency

Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency, depending on the economic environment it operates in, and items included in the financial
statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

Significant estimates and assumptions

Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the Companys financial statements include, but are not limited to:



| |  |  | Fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Deferred tax assets;
| | - |  | --------------------



| |  |  | Impairment of loans and receivables;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | Share-based payments.
| | - |  | ---------------------

Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The key assumptions
concerning the future events and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed
below:

Fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations

The Group recognizes separately, at the acquisition date, the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed in the business
combination at their fair values, which involves estimates. Such estimates are based on valuation techniques, which require considerable judgment in forecasting future cash flows and developing other assumptions. In some cases, when the amounts of
fair values are significant, the Group hires third party appraisers to assist it in determining the related fair values. See also Note 5 below for details.

Impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets

In order to determine whether the goodwill and Indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired, it is necessary to estimate the value in use of the
cash-generating units to which the goodwill and Indefinite-lived intangible assets are allocated. Estimating the value in use of Indefinite-lived intangible assets requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the
cash-generating unit and to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows, and hence such estimates are subject to uncertainty.

Goodwill is allocated to all the Groups asset as a whole, so its recoverable amounts is estimated as fair value less costs to sell on the basis of
quoted prices of Companys ordinary shares. See also Note 12 below for details.

Deferred tax assets

The utilization of deferred tax assets will depend on whether it is possible to generate sufficient taxable income against which the deductible temporary
differences can be utilized. Various factors are used to assess the probability of the future utilization of deferred tax assets, including past operating results, operational plans, expiration of tax losses carried forward, and tax planning
strategies.

Certain portion of deferred tax assets was not recorded because the Group does not expect to realize certain of its tax loss carry forwards
in the foreseeable future due to history of losses. Further details on deferred taxes are disclosed in Note 26.

Impairment of loans and receivables

Management assesses an impairment of loans and receivables to account for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required
payments. When evaluating the adequacy of an impairment of loans and receivables, management bases its estimates on the aging of accounts receivable balances and loans and historical write-off experience, customer credit worthiness and changes in
customer payment terms. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, actual write-offs might be higher than expected. Further details on provision for impairment of loans and receivables are disclosed in Notes 13-14.

Share-based payments

Management estimates the fair value of stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. The option pricing
models were originally developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have different characteristics than the stock options granted by the Company and its subsidiaries and associates. The models are also sensitive to changes
in the subjective assumptions, which can materially affect the fair value estimate. These subjective assumptions include the expected life of the options, expected volatility, risk-free interest rates, expected dividend yield, the fair value of the
underlying shares. The amount of expense is also sensitive to the number of awards, which are expected to vest, taking into account estimated forfeitures. Below is the discussion of each of these estimates:

Expected life of the option

The Company did not have any
option grants in the past, and does not have sufficient history to determine the time the option holders will hold the shares. Therefore, the Company used the expected term as the average between the vesting and contractual term of each option
tranche.

Expected volatility

Due to a relatively
short period of historical market data, QIWIs share price volatility as of December 31, 2015 is defined based on the historical volatility of peer group companies over a period, which approximates the expected life of option tranches.

Risk-free interest rates

Risk-free interest rates
are based on the implied yield currently available in the US treasury bonds, adjusted for a country risk premium, with a remaining term approximating the expected life of the option award being valued.

Expected dividend yield

At the time of grant in 2012 the
Group had no plans to pay cash dividends, and the Group used an expected dividend yield of zero in its option pricing model for option awards granted in 2012. Following its IPO in 2013, the Group started to pay dividends and set an expected dividend
yield of 2.83% based on post-IPO dividend payments.

Fair value of the underlying shares

Prior to May 2013 the Companys ordinary shares were not publicly traded. Therefore, it estimated the fair value of the underlying shares on the basis of
valuations arrived at by employing the income approach valuation methodology. Since May 2013 QIWI plc is a public company and the fair value of its shares defined by reference to closing market price of its traded shares.

Estimated forfeitures

Low attrition rate among key
personnel and management resulted in an estimated forfeiture rate of zero in 2013, 2014 and 2015. If, in future, the actual forfeiture rate is higher, the actual amount of related expense will become lower.

|5. | Acquisitions of shares in subsidiaries
|-- | --------------------------------------

CIHRUS LLC

On June 2 and June 30, 2015 the Company completed the linked transaction for the acquisition of 70% and 30% of an unlisted company, CIHRUS LLC and
its subsidiaries: Attenium LLC, Gikor LLC, Rapida LTD, Processingovyi Tsentr Rapida LLC (further CIHRUS group). The main activities of CIHRUS group are the operation of the Contact money transfer system (Contact) and the Rapida
payment processing system (Rapida). This acquisition increases market share and contributes to strengthening the Groups position in financial services and money remittance payment categories. The acquisition has been accounted for
using the acquisition method as one transaction. Pre-existing relationships between the Group and CIHRUS group were not significant.

The consideration
was made by class B shares of the Company:



|                                                           |  |  |           |

Provisional goodwill in the amount of 4,653,829 relates to potential synergies with the existing operations. The Group
provisionally determined the fair value of Rapida LTD license, software, trademarks, client and partnership base recognized as intangible assets as 5,560,776. Deferred tax liabilities arose in relation to these intangible assets in the amount of
1,089,522 due to their tax base of nil. As of June 2, 2015, CIHRUS group had gross accounts receivable, in the amount of 2,388,872 that were impaired by 36,718.

One of the subsidiaries of CIHRUS group identified tax risks and the unfavorable outcome of most of them is
assessed as possible, but others are considered as probable, at this time. The share purchase agreement commits the seller to unconditionally and irrevocably indemnify and reimburse in full all direct or indirect losses incurred, suffered or
sustained by the Company in respect of this matter during the three years from the date of the agreement. The Company made a provision for these tax risks, both probable and possible (included in Income tax payable) and a related indemnification
asset (included in Other current assets) both at fair value in the amount of 300,000 in the net assets as of acquisition and reporting date.

From the
date of acquisition through December 31, 2015, CIHRUS group contributed 2,921,631 of revenue and 21,279 to the net profit of the Group. If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of 2015, the Group revenue would have been 20,266,503
and the net profit would have been 4,836,723.

subsidiaries QIWI USA LLC, IT Billion LLC and investments in QIWI BRASIL TECNOLOGIA S.A. and QIWI Jordan Ltd. Co.

QIWI BRASIL TECNOLOGIA S.A. was planned
to be disposed by dilution of the Groups share. As at December 31, 2014 there was neither strategy nor potential buyer for sale of QIWI Jordan Ltd. Co.

On May 1, 2015 the Company entered into an agreement to sell its entire share in IT Billion LLC and QIWI USA LLC. The agreement stated that the Company

In reviewing the operational performance of the Group and allocating resources, the
chief operating decision maker of the Group (CODM), who is the Croups CEO and reviews selected items of segments statement of comprehensive income.

In determining that the CODM was the CEO, the Group considered the aforementioned roles of responsibilities of CEO as well as the following factors:



| |  |  | The CEO determines compensation of our other executive officers while board of directors approves corporate key performance indicators (KPIs) and total bonus pool for those executive officers. In case of
underperformance of corporate KPIs a right to make a final decision on bonus pool distribution is left with the Board;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The CEO is actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company and regularly chairs meetings on key projects of the Company; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The CEO regularly reviews the financial and operational reports of the Company. These reports primarily include segment net revenue, segment profit before tax and segment net profit for the Company as a whole as well as
certain operational data.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The CODM considers the whole Group as a single operating reportable segment. The financial data is presented on a
combined basis for all key subsidiaries and associates representing the segment net revenue, segment profit before tax and segment net profit. The Group measures the performance of its operating segment by monitoring: segment net revenue, segment
profit before tax and segment net profit. Segment net revenue is a measure of profitability defined as the segment revenues less segment direct costs, which include the same items as the Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and
amortization) as reported in the Groups consolidated statement of comprehensive income, except for payroll costs. Payroll costs are excluded because, although required to maintain the Groups distribution network, they are not
linked to payment volume.

Management reporting is different from IFRS, because it does not include certain IFRS adjustments which are not analyzed by the
chief operating decision maker in assessing the core operating performance of the business. The adjustments affect such major areas as deferred taxation, business combinations, offering expenses, income from depositary, share-based payments, foreign
exchange gain/(loss) from revaluation of cash proceeds received from secondary public offering, effect from disposal of subsidiaries and fair value adjustments amortization and impairment thereof, as well as non-recurring items.

|9. | Earnings per share
|-- | ------------------

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit for the year
attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per
share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent adjusted for effect of potential share exercise by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the
weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

The
following reflects the income and share data used in basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the years ended December 31:

|12. | Impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------

Goodwill

The Group determined the following CGUs: JSC QIWI, Visa QIWI Wallet, Rapida LTD and considers goodwill relates to the group of three CGUs. As of
December 31, 2015 carrying amount of goodwill was equal to 6,285,235 (1,631,406 for 2014 and 2013). For the purpose of goodwill impairment test the Company estimated the recoverable amounts of group of three CGUs as fair value less costs
of disposal on the basis of quoted prices of Companys ordinary shares (Level 1). As result of annual impairment test the Group did not identify any impairment as of December 31, 2014 and 2015.

Reasonably possible changes in any valuation parameters would not result in impairment of goodwill.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful life

As of
December 31, 2015 carrying amount of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life (licenses for banking operations, which are expected to be renewed indefinitely) are recognized with a value of 283,722 (183,076 for 2014 and 2013).
Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are recorded by the Group at the date of acquisition of QIWI Bank JSC and Rapida LTD on September 24, 2010 and June 2, 2015 respectively.

For the purpose of intangible assets with indefinite useful life impairment test the Company estimated the recoverable amounts of each asset as fair
value less costs of disposal on the basis of comparative method and cost approach. Under the valuation using the comparative method the Group considered similar third-parties transactions for acquisition of banks or bank organization that holds
licenses identical to the Groups ones. Under the valuation using the cost approach the Group considered outflows required to meet the requirements for a minimum amount of equity to be held by the bank or bank organization with licenses similar
to the Group ones according to current legislation (Level 3).

Key assumption used in fair value less cost of disposal calculations is expected outflows
to acquire license on the open market.

All assumptions are determined using observable market data and publicly available information of the cash
transactions of the third-parties.

As result of annual impairment test of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives the Group did not identify any
impairment as of December 31, 2014 and 2015. Reasonably possible changes in any valuation parameters would not result in impairment of intangible assets with indefinite useful life.

An analysis and movement of net book value of goodwill and licenses acquired through business combinations, as included in the intangible assets note (Note
11), is as follows:

|12. | Impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets (continued)
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------

Intangible assets with definite
useful life

For the purpose of other intangible assets impairment test the Company estimated the recoverable amounts as higher of value in use or fair
value less costs to sell of an individual asset or CGU this asset relates. As of December 31, 2015 the Group identified the impairment indicators of intangible assets allocated to Rapida LTD CGU due to overall slowdown of Russian economy and
loss of number of partners that resulted in decrease of turnover associated to this particular CGU. The Group performed an impairment test of this CGU before the Goodwill testing, which indicated that there is no impairment as of the reporting
date.

|26. | Income tax
|--- | ----------

The Company is incorporated in Cyprus under the Cyprus Companies Law, but the business
activity of the Group and its associates is subject to taxation in multiple jurisdictions, the most significant of which include:

Cyprus

The Company is subject to 12.5% corporate income tax applied to its worldwide income.

Gains from the sale of securities/titles (including shares of companies) either in Cyprus or abroad and gain or losses from foreign exchange are exempt from
corporate income tax in Cyprus. Capital Gains Tax is levied at a rate of 20% on profits from disposal of immovable property situated in Cyprus or of shares in companies which own immovable property situated in Cyprus (unless the shares are listed on
a recognized stock exchange).

Dividends received from a non-resident (foreign) company are exempt from the levy of defence contribution if either the
dividend paying company derives at least 50% of its income directly or indirectly from activities which do not lead to investment income (active versus passive investment income test is met) or the foreign tax burden on the profit to be
distributed as dividend has not been substantially lower than the Cypriot corporate income tax rate (i.e. lower than 6,25%) at the level of the dividend paying company (effective minimum foreign tax test is met). The Company has not been
subject to defence tax on dividends received from abroad as the dividend paying entities are engaged in trading activities.

The Russian Federation

The Companys subsidiaries and associates incorporated in the Russian Federation are subject to corporate income tax at the standard rate of 15%
applied to income received from Russia government bonds and 20% applied to their other taxable income. Withholding tax of 15% is applied to any dividends paid out of Russia, reduced to as low as 5% for some countries (including Cyprus), with which
Russia has double-taxation treaties.

Kazakhstan

The
Companys subsidiary incorporated in Kazakhstan is subject to corporate income tax at the standard rate of 20% applied to their taxable income.

Operating environment

Russia continues economic reforms and development of its legal, tax and regulatory frameworks as required by a market economy. The future stability of the
Russian economy is largely dependent upon these reforms and developments and the effectiveness of economic, financial and monetary measures undertaken by the government.

In the past few years, the Russian economy has been negatively impacted by a significant drop in crude oil prices and a significant devaluation of the Russian
Ruble, as well as restrictive measures imposed against the Russian Federation by several countries. In December 2014, the Ruble interest rates have increased significantly after the Central Bank of Russia raised its key rate to 17% (slightly
decreased in the first quarter of 2015 to 14%, to 11.5% in the second quarter and to 11% in the third quarter). The combination of the above resulted in reduced access to capital, a higher cost of capital, increased inflation and uncertainty
regarding economic growth, which could negatively affect the Groups future financial position, results of operations and business prospects. Management believes it is taking appropriate measures to support the sustainability of the
Groups business in the current circumstances.

In addition, following the accession of Crimea to Russia, which is seen by the EU as an illegal
annexation of Crimea, the Companys Russian subsidiaries started operating in that region with a limited number of kiosks. On December 19, 2014, U.S. President Obama signed a new executive order imposing comprehensive sanctions on the
Crimea region. Almost all transactions involving a U.S. person or that are subject to U.S. jurisdiction and that directly or indirectly involve an individual or entity in Crimea are prohibited, with the exception of certain transactions involving
certain agricultural commodities, medicine and medical devices. The executive order also permits the designation of persons that operate in Crimea, leaders of entities operating in Crimea, entities that are owned or controlled by a person that is
designated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), or persons that provide material assistance or financial, material, or technological support to a person that is designated by OFAC. The EU has similarly introduced a broad set of
sanctions inter alia: an investment ban prohibiting to acquire new or extend any existing participation or ownership of real estate located in Crimea or Sevastopol, acquire new or extend any existing participation or ownership or control of an
entity in Crimea or Sevastopol, provide financing to an entity in Crimea or Sevastopol, create any joint venture in Crimea or Sevastopol or with an entity in Crimea or Sevastopol or provide investment services directly related to the above
activities; an embargo on certain listed goods and technology that are suited for the key sectors of transport, telecommunications, energy and mining; and an import ban on goods originating from Crimea and Sevastopol and on financial assistance as
well as insurance and reinsurance related to such import.

To date, the management does not believe that any of the current sanctions as in force limit
the Groups ability to operate in Crimea. Nevertheless, any new or expanded sanctions that may be imposed on Russian businesses operating in Crimea by the U.S., EU, or other countries may materially adversely affect the Group and any future
plans the Group may have to expand in that region.

Operating environment (continued)



In light of the hardening geopolitical situation in Ukraine, the United States of America, the European Union
and other countries have adopted a package of economic restrictive measures imposing certain sanctions on the operations of various Russian banks, including VTB Bank and Gazprombank. Some subsidiaries of the Company hold bank accounts in the
aforementioned banks as well as have credit lines and bank guarantees in VTB Bank. Management is monitoring these developments in the current environment and taking actions where appropriate. These and any further possible negative developments in
Ukraine could adversely impact results and financial position of the Group in a manner not currently determinable.

Further, the management sees several
risks that can affect the stability and profitability of the Group offline distribution business. Firstly, the overall macroeconomic conditions adversely affect the purchasing power of Russian population as high inflation combined with decreasing
real wage put pressure on the disposable income, thus leading to the overall decrease in consumer spending and in turn the Groups payment volumes. Secondly, the agents economics is being pressured by decreasing commissions (including and
most significantly mobile network operators) and higher customer commission sensitivity combined with high rental and other costs.

Moreover, CBR has been
recently taking steps to secure the quality and transparency of agents industry, thus imposing some additional controls and monitoring requirements on agents through the banks. As agents have to comply with more requirements and handle significantly
increasing numbers of inquiries from the banks that they work with, additional pressure is put on the agents business model especially for smaller players. Although the Groups network of agents remains well diversified the
above-mentioned changes have negatively affected the size of Groups physical distribution in Russia and, correspondingly, pressured its financial results. The Management is committed to make its best effort to support Groups agents and
mitigate negative effects of the discussed market conditions however, at the moment they cannot be sure if there will be any further negative impact of these changes in the mid-term.

Taxation

Russian and the CISs tax, currency and customs legislation is subject to varying interpretations, and changes, which can occur frequently.
Managements interpretation of such legislation as applied to the transactions and activity of the Group may be challenged by the relevant regional and federal authorities. Recent events within Russia and the CIS which are discussed below
suggest that the tax authorities are taking a more assertive position in their interpretation of the legislation and assessments and as a result, it is possible that transactions and activities that have not been challenged in the past may be
challenged.

Due to its international structure, the Group is subject to transfer pricing and permanent establishment risks in various jurisdictions it
operates in. Since January, 2012, the Russian tax authorities have the right to apply transfer pricing adjustments and impose additional tax liabilities in respect of controlled transactions, if the transaction price differs from the
market price. The Russian transfer pricing legislation grants taxpayers the right to justify their compliance with the arms length principle at prices used in controlled transactions by preparing the transfer pricing documentation.

The Group manages the related risks by looking at its management functions and risks in various countries and level of profits allocated to each subsidiary.
The list of controlled transactions of the Group includes various transactions between different Russian entities as well as certain types of cross-border transactions. The Group determines its tax liabilities arising from
controlled transactions using actual transaction prices.

Currently the tax authorities perform tax audits of many Russian taxpayers with
major focus on compliance with new transfer pricing legislation. It is therefore possible that the Group entities may become subject to transfer pricing tax audits by tax authorities in the near future. The Russian tax authorities may challenge the
level of prices applied by the Group under the controlled transactions (including certain intercompany transactions) and accrue additional tax liabilities. If additional taxes are assessed with respect to these matters, they may be
material. This risk may increase in the future as Russian transfer pricing practice develops.

The Management believes that the Group is able to prove the
arms length nature of prices with respect to the controlled transactions, and that there has been proper reporting to the Russian tax authorities, supported by appropriate available transfer pricing documentation.

According to the provisions of the Cyprus Income Tax Law, a company is considered to be a resident of Cyprus for tax purposes if its management and control
are exercised in Cyprus. The concept of management and control is not defined in the Cypriot tax legislation. However, the Cyprus Tax Authorities have published documents which indicate the minimum requirements that need to be satisfied
for a company to be considered a tax resident of Cyprus (among others the place of incorporation of the company and its tax residency only in Cyprus, the place where the companys executive bodies operate). Taking into consideration that the
majority of the board of directors is comprised of tax residents of Russia, the shareholders meetings took place in Russia and a number of other factors which may be treated as not fully in line with the abovementioned requirements, our tax
residency in Cyprus may be challenged by the relevant tax authorities. Moreover, we may be deemed not to be a tax resident in Cyprus due to the implication of the Russian laws, described below. If we are tax resident in a jurisdiction outside of
Cyprus or are deemed to have a permanent establishment in Russia or elsewhere, our tax burden may increase significantly, which, in turn, may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Taxation (continued)



In 2015 significant changes to the Russian tax legislation were enacted which are aimed at preventing the
abuse of offshore structures (so-called de-offshorization legislation). In particular, these changes include the definition of beneficiary ownership, tax residence of legal entities by the place of actual carrying out
activities, as well as approach to taxation of controlled foreign companies. It is currently unclear how the Russian tax authorities will interpret and apply the new tax provisions and what will be the possible impact on the Group. Therefore, it
cannot be excluded that Groups companies might be subject to additional tax liabilities because of these changes being introduced and applied to transactions carried out by them, which could have a material adverse effect on Groups
business, financial condition and results of operations. The Groups management is undertaking all necessary and required measures in order to minimize the potential negative impact of the de-offshorization legislation.

Kazakhstan issues

In April 2012 the Groups
subsidiary in Kazakhstan were included in the state register of market participants with dominant or monopoly position in Kazakhstan. Entities included in this register are prohibited from performing actions that may have a detrimental effect on
competition, restrict access to the market or infringe the rights of consumers, including predatory or discriminatory pricing, unjustified resale restrictions, imposing unreasonable terms, or refusing to supply or halting supplies for unjustified
reasons. Status as a dominant market participant also puts an entity under much more stringent scrutiny from the Competition Protection Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan, or the Competition Protection Agency, therefore increasing the probability
of being investigated and penalized if a violation occurs. As a result, the Competition Protection Agency may impose restrictions on the Groups operations, or take other measures that may be inconsistent with the Groups strategy. The
maximum liability to which the Group can be exposed is a penalty equal to 10% of the revenue earned as a result of market abuse, plus confiscation of the full amount of such revenue. The maximum liability is determined in reference to not more than
one year of such revenues. For the past years, the Groups subsidiary in Kazakhstan was subject to an investigation concerning alleged abuse of its dominant position in Kazakhstans electronic payments market and received various requests
from the anti-trust authorities for information related to its business. The Group has complied with the orders and requests and have taken all necessary and required actions to remedy the detected violations. However, management cannot exclude
similar investigations to recur in the future, and cannot reliably estimate the amounts of claims that can be brought against the Group in connection with these investigations. Moreover if any limitations are introduced in connection with this, they
may reduce the Groups operational and commercial flexibility and responsiveness, which may adversely affect the Groups business, financial condition and results of operations.

In the end of the year 2014, the Groups subsidiary became subject to financial monitoring legislation in Kazakhstan, imposing certain client
identification requirements on it. In connection with such legislation, the management had to restructure operations in Kazakhstan to make the Kazakh subsidiary, instead of a Russian one, the operator of Group payment system in the country which was
completed in September 2015. As the anti-money laundering legislation in Kazakhstan is relatively nascent and yet undeveloped, the management faced various difficulties while applying it. Currently the Kazakh subsidiary and other participants of
electronic money market in Kazakhstan cooperate with the local authorities in order to clarify the existing legislative gaps to ensure proper functioning of anti-money laundering procedures in Kazakhstan. However, if management is not able to do so
or if the subsidiary is not able to comply with the new legislation for any other reason, it could become subject to regulatory action in Kazakhstan and could face fines or significant restrictions on its business operations in the country.

Risk of cybersecurity breach

The Company stores and/or transmits sensitive data, such as credit or debit card numbers, passport details, mobile phone numbers and other identification data,
and the Company has ultimate liability to its consumers for the failure to protect this data. The Company has experienced breaches of its security by hackers in the past, and breaches could occur in the future. In such circumstances, the encryption
of data and other protective measures have not prevented unauthorized access and may not be sufficient to prevent future unauthorized access. However, any future breach of the system, including through employee fraud, may subject the Company to
material losses or liability, payables to other payment systems, fines and claims for unauthorized purchases with misappropriated credit or debit card information, identity theft, impersonation or other similar fraud claims. In addition, misuse of
such sensitive data or a cybersecurity breach could result in claims, regulatory scrutiny and other negative consequences.

Risk assessment

The Groups management believes that its interpretation of the relevant legislation is appropriate and is in accordance with the current industry practice
and that the Groups currency, customs, tax and other regulatory positions will be sustained. However, the interpretations of the relevant authorities could differ and the maximum effect of additional losses on these consolidated financial
statements, if the authorities were successful in enforcing their different interpretations, could be significant, and amount up to 1,150,000 as of December 31, 2015.

Insurance policies

The Group holds no insurance policies
in relation to its assets, operations, or in respect of public liability or other insurable risks. There are no significant physical assets to insure. Management has considered the possibility of insurance of business interruption in Russia, but the
cost of it outweighs the benefits in managements view.

Legal proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, the Group is subject to legal actions and complaints. Management believes that the ultimate liability, if any, arising from
such actions or complaints will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or the results of future operations of the Group.

Know-your-client requirements in Russia

The Groups business is currently subject to know-your-client- requirements established by Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 115-FZ On
Combating the Legalization (Laundering) of Criminally Obtained Income and Funding of Terrorism, dated August 7, 2001, as amended, or the Anti-Money Laundering Law. Based on the Anti-Money Laundering Law management distinguishes three
types of consumers based on their level of identification, being anonymous, identified through a simplified procedure and fully identified. The consumers who have not undergone any identification procedure are qualified as anonymous and are not
allowed to contemplate transactions as well as hold an electronic money account balance in excess of RUB15,000. The consumers who have undergone simplified identification procedure with the payment services provider are entitled to perform
electronic money transfers in excess of RUB15,000 provided that at any point of time the account balance of electronic money does not exceed RUB60,000 and the total amount of transactions does not exceed RUB 200,000 per month. Fully identified
consumers are entitled to perform same type of electronic transfers as consumers identified through a simplified procedure but with increased threshold of the electronic money account balance of RUB 600,000 and no limitations for the total
transaction amount per month. The key difference between the simplified and the full identification procedures is that the simplified identification can be performed remotely. The remote identification requires the verification of certain data
provided by consumers against public databases. Albeit a government order No. 630 dated July 8, 2014, was enacted providing that public databases shall be set up by specific government authorities and access to them shall be granted to the
third parties authorized to carry out identification of consumers, such databases are not yet up and running at scale and, to the knowledge of the Group, there is no work in progress on setting up such databases. Thus, current situation could cause
the Group to be in violation of the identification requirements. In case management is enforced not to use the simplified identification procedure until the databases are fully running, it could negatively affect the number of consumers and,
consequently, volumes and revenues.

Rapida LTD issues

In May 2015 the CBR finished a scheduled inspection of Rapida LTD, as a result of which various breaches were uncovered and a range of restrictions were
imposed on the operations of Rapida LTD for the period ending December 4, 2015. Later the CBR issued four further orders to Rapida LTD in connection with a number of violations, including breaches of the enhanced controls that the CBR has
implemented to ensure compliance by the agents with legislation that requires them to remit their proceeds to special accounts. As a result, a range of restrictions were imposed on the operations of Rapida LTD the compliance with which is at times
problematic since it requires full compliance by Rapida LTD agents with the enhanced measures adopted by the CBR, which is beyond our control. After the acquisition, we began implementing compliance and internal control procedures in Rapida LTD
aimed to rectify the detected violations and to prevent them in future. There can be no assurance that such measures will be successful.

|29. | Risk management
|--- | ---------------

The main risks that could adversely affect the Groups financial assets,
liabilities or future cash flows are foreign exchange risk, liquidity and credit risk. Management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks which are summarized below.

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk
that fluctuations in exchange rates will adversely affect items in the Groups statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position and/or cash flows. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities give rise to foreign
exchange exposure.

During last SPO the Company increased its issued share capital by 2,292,330 class B shares and received 88,942,404 U.S. $ (Note 17).
These proceeds are accounted as deposits in other currency in cash and cash equivalents as at year end 2015 and 2014. Due to appreciation of U.S. $ rate against RUB for the year 2015 by 29% and from date of SPO to December 31, 2014 by
approximate 64% the Group received foreign exchange gain in the amount of 1,475,942 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 1,947,021 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Group intends to use these assets for settlement of its U.S. $
denominated obligations that will arise from its M&A activity.

Foreign currency sensitivity

The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in US Dollar and Euro exchange rates, with all other variables held constant.
The impact on the Groups profit before tax is due to changes in the carrying amount of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in US Dollar and Euro when these currencies are not functional currencies of the respective Group subsidiary.
The Groups exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material.

|- 13%               |  | (648,212)

|+43%                |  | 644,154                    
|- 15%               |  | (224,705)                  

Liquidity risk and capital management

The Group uses cash from shareholders contributions, has sufficient cash and does not have any significant outstanding debt other than interbank debt
with short maturities (classified as due from banks). Deposits received from agents are also due on demand, but are usually offset against future payments processed through agents. The Group expects that agents deposits will continue to be
offset against future payments and not be called by the agents. Amounts due to customers and amounts due to banks and trade and other payables are due on demand.

Liquidity risk and capital management (continued)



The macroeconomic slowdown in Russia, caused among other things by dropping oil prices and sanctions regime,
which effectively limited the access to liquidity of the key Russian banks led to liquidity shortage in the market the Group operates. This exacerbated the liquidity shortage on the market. As a consequence, banks and entities in Russia
substantially decreased credit limits in their everyday operations. Management noted that the Groups merchants and partners started since the end of 2014 to request from the Group larger collaterals to hedge their risks. The Group was able to
manage these new requirements to date, though the liquidity shortage in the market may further exacerbate and consequently it may have further negative effects on Group operations which cannot be now reliably estimated.

According to CBR requirements, a banks capital calculated based on CBR instruction should be not less than 10% of its risk-adjusted assets. As of
December 31, 2015, QIWI Bank JSCs and Rapida LTDs capital ratio comprised 14% (2014  14%) and 20% respectively, thereby exceeding the required level. These subsidiaries monitor the fulfillment of requirements on a daily basis
and send the report to CBR on a monthly basis. During the year 2015 QIWI Bank JSC and Rapida LTD met the capital adequacy requirements. During the year 2014 QIWI Bank JSC breached the capital adequacy ratio set by instruction of the CBR with no
significant consequences for the Group.

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions.
Capital includes share capital, share premium, additional paid-in capital, other reserves and translation reserve. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may make dividend payments to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or
issue new shares. Currently, the Group requires capital to finance its growth, but it generates sufficient cash from its operations. The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Companys financial liabilities based on contractual
undiscounted payments.

|--- | ---------------------------



Credit risk

Financial assets, which potentially subject the Group and its subsidiaries and associates to credit risk, consist principally of trade receivables, loans
receivable issued, cash and short-term investments. The Group sells services on a prepayment basis or ensures that its receivables are from customers with an appropriate credit history  large merchants and agents with sufficient and
appropriate credit history. The Groups receivables from merchants and others, except for agents, are generally non-interest-bearing and do not require collateral. Receivables and loans from agents are interest-bearing and unsecured. The Group
holds cash primarily with reputable Russian and international banks, including CBR, which management considers having minimal risk of default, although credit ratings of Russian and Kazakh banks are generally lower than those of the banks in more
developed markets. Short-term investments include fixed-rate debt instruments issued by the top Russian banks.

The carrying amount of accounts
receivable, net of allowance for impairment of receivables, represents the maximum amount exposed to credit risk for this type of receivables (Note 14). The table below demonstrates the largest counterparties balances, as a percentage of
respective totals:



|                                                                         |                       |                             |    |                       |  |  |    |

Collection of receivables could be influenced by economic factors; management believes that there is no significant risk of
loss to the Group beyond the allowance already recorded.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and no transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value
measurements during the year ended December 31, 2015.

The Group uses the following IFRS hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of
financial instruments by valuation technique:



| |  | Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Level 2: Other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly;
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Level 3: Techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Valuation methods and assumptions

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities included at the amount the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing
parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair values:



| |  | Non-current financial liabilities is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt of similar terms and remaining maturities.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Fair value of the unquoted ordinary shares has been estimated using a DCF model. The valuation requires management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, including forecast cash flows, the discount rate,
credit risk and volatility. The probabilities of the various estimates within the range can be reasonably assessed and are used in managements estimate of fair value for these unquoted equity investments.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Long-term fixed-rate assets are evaluated by the Group based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors and individual
creditworthiness of the customer

In October, 2012 the board of directors and shareholders approved an Employee
Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) for management of the Group, under which up to 2,565,000 shares of the Company can be granted to management during the ten years of the plan term. Later in January 2013, the Companys ESOP was amended and
restated to increase the maximum amount of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan to 3,640,000 class B shares, or 7% of the Company entire issued and outstanding share capital. Vesting is individually agreed for each grant. The contractual term
of the options granted is 10 years from the date of grant. The board of directors shall determine the exercise price applicable to the options granted under the ESOP. Following an initial public offering of the Group, the exercise price shall not be
less than the average closing price of the shares on the principal exchange on which such shares are then traded for the ten business days immediately preceding the grant date. The options can be exercised on a gross or net share basis. Upon
exercise, one half of shares cannot be sold or otherwise transferred until after the Group achieve a net income target per the Groups management accounts (prepared on a basis consistent with the basis of preparation of segment data) of
5,359,284 for the 12 month period immediately preceding the applicable measurement date.

The following table illustrates the movements in share options

The expected volatility was determined by reference to the historical volatility of peer companies. The share price for
options granted on December 21, 2012 was determined using the discounted cash flows projections based on financial budgets approved by the Groups senior management covering an eight-year period (2013-2020). An eight-year period was used
for projections, as the Group considers this time frame to be reasonably forecasted. The share price for options granted after IPO was determined by reference to closing market prices of the Groups traded shares. Due to lack of historical
data, the expected life of the options was estimated as a mid-point average between the vesting and the expiration date of each option vesting tranche.
