Regarding further expansion in Russia

The City Service group will expand its activities in the Russian communal
services market with Sberbank, the largest bank in the country. An cooperation
agreement has been signed between the company and the bank, which is
responsible for management of state funds allocated for communal market reform. 

According to the agreement, a development coordination group will be formed
consisting of 6 people - 3 representatives of City Service and 3

prepare projects that City Service will implement together with Sberbank in
specific cities and regions of Russia.

the development of City Service in all regions of Russia. We have always
emphasised that development in this country is our strategic goal. The
agreement we have reached with Sberbank will contribute to the implementation
of these goals,” Žilvinas Lapinskas, Director General of City Service, said. 

After signing the agreement, Mr. Lapinskas was appointed Chairman of the Board
