(1) Consists of 40,115,070 Class B Shares, each of which may be converted at the option of the holder into one Class A Share. The rights of the holders of Class A Shares and Class B Shares are identical, except with respect to conversion rights and voting rights. Each Class B Share is entitled to ten votes per share, and each Class A Share is entitled to one vote per share. This total number of 40,115,070 Class B Shares includes 5,655,386 Class B shares held by BC&B Holdings B.V., a Dutch limited liability company (“BC&B”). BC&B is 100% owned by Strickland Holdings Ltd., a Cyprus registered limited liability company (“Strickland”). Approximately 8.3% of the share capital of Strickland is held by Belka Holdings Ltd. (“Belka”). Mr. Volozh owns 100% of the share capital of Belka. Decisions with respect to the sale of Yandex shares held by BC&B are governed by a shareholders agreement between Belka and the other shareholders of Strickland which allows each shareholder to unilaterally cause Strickland to take decisions as necessary to effect a sale of such underlying shareholder’s interests in Yandex. Belka therefore has the right to control the voting and disposition of 5,655,386 Class B shares held by BC&B. Mr. Volozh disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by BC&B except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. The business address of BC&B is Laan Copes van Cattenburch 52, 2585 GB, The Hague, the Netherlands, and the business address of Belka is Palm Grove House, PO Box 438, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.
