$500 Million Addition to $1.5 billion Eurobond Issue by VTB

On August 2, 2012, VTB priced an additional issuance of U.S.$500 million of 6.00% Notes due 2017 (the "New Notes") under its Programme No.2 for the Issuance of Loan Participation Notes. The New Notes are additional to, and will be consolidated and form a single series with, its U.S.$1.5 billion 6.00% Notes due 2017 previously issued in April 2012.

The New Notes will be issued by VTB Capital S.A., Luxembourg and listed on the Irish Stock Exchange. VTB Capital served as Lead Manager for the Offering.

Deputy Chairman and CFO of JSC VTB Bank Herbert Moos said: "The transaction was very well received by investors. The order book showed strong momentum throughout the very short, intra-day bookbuild, allowing the transaction to price with an even distribution amongst a high quality investor base, and large orders from around 60 top-tier accounts. The success of this transaction reaffirms VTB's status as a well-known, investment grade issuer in the international debt capital markets as well as the execution capabilities of its investment banking division VTB Capital, which was able to lead this transaction on a sole basis."
