NOVATEK announces registration of Prospectus for securities issue

Moscow, 24 July 2006. OAO NOVATEK announced today that on 20 July 2006 the Federal Financial Markets Service (FFMS) of Russia has officially registered the Company’s Prospectus for the issue of securities related to the Company’s planned split of its ordinary shares. As a result of the share split one ordinary registered share, with a nominal value of one hundred Russian roubles per share, will be converted into 1,000 shares of the same category with a nominal value of ten Russian kopeks per share. The Company’s share split will not impact the size of its charter capital or the rights granted to each shareholder.

The issue of 3,036,306,000 shares has been registered on 20 July 2006 by the FFMS of Russia under State registration number 1-02-00268-E. The share conversion will become effective on the seventh day following the issue registration date. At the same time, the FFMS also approved the placement of 910,589,000, or 29.99%, of the Company’s total ordinary shares outstanding for trading in the form of GDRs. The Company’s Global Depository Receipts (GDR) ratio will be changed automatically from one hundred (100) GDRs representing one (1) ordinary share to one (1) GDR representing ten (10) ordinary shares.

NOVATEK believes that the share split will increase the liquidity of its shares traded on the Russian stock market.
