The following new paragraphs are added to Item 4 of the Existing Statement:
On November 29, 2007, Alfa Finance entered into a sale and purchase agreement (the Sale and
Purchase Agreement) with Nadash International Holdings Inc., a British Virgin Islands company
(Nadash), pursuant to which Alfa Finance agreed to sell to Nadash 50% of the shares of Alfa
Telecom Turkey. The obligation of Alfa Finance to sell 50% of the shares of Alfa Telecom Turkey
Limited to Nadash is conditional on certain conditions precedent set out in the Sale and Purchase
Agreement. The Sale and Purchase Agreement contemplates that if and when closing of the sale and
purchase of the shares of Alfa Telecom Turkey takes place, the subject shares will be transferred
to an as yet unnamed escrow agent that will hold legal title to the shares on behalf of Nadash,
which will hold beneficial title to the shares.
The Sale and Purchase Agreement contemplates that if and when closing of the sale and purchase of
the shares of Alfa Telecom Turkey take place, Alfa Finance, Nadash, the escrow agent, and Alfa
Telecom Turkey will enter into a shareholders agreement (the ATT Shareholders Agreement)
governing the parties rights and obligations as shareholders of Alfa Telecom Turkey. The agreed
form of the ATT Shareholders Agreement is attached as Schedule 1 to the Sale and Purchase
Agreement. The agreed form of the ATT Shareholders Agreement contemplates that both Alfa Finance
and Nadash will have equal representation on the board of directors of Alfa Telecom Turkey and
further provides that following closing of the transaction, Alfa Telecom Turkey will use its
reasonable endeavors, to the extent it is legally able to do so, to cause the appointment of one
nominee of each of Alfa Finance and Nadash to the boards of directors of Cukurova Telecom Holdings,
Turkcell Holdings, and the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SCHEDULE 13D
|
|

Issuer. The ATT Shareholders Agreement also provides that Nadashs right to receive dividends from
Alfa Telecom Turkey will be limited to the extent that Astelit LLC (Astelit), a Ukrainian company
and an indirect, majority-owned subsidiary of the Issuer pays a dividend to its shareholders. If
any such dividend is paid by Astelit, Nadash will be entitled to receive a proportionate dividend
from Alfa Telecom Turkey. Nadash will have no right to any other dividends or distributions from
Alfa Telecom Turkey. The ATT Shareholders Agreement will also provide that, under certain
circumstances set out therein, Alfa Finance will have an option to repurchase the 50% of the shares
of Alfa Telecom Turkey held by Nadash. Likewise, under certain circumstance set out in the ATT
