From the 1st of December 2025 "Reestr Proton", the new Russian registrar of Ozon, will start accepting applications for the forced conversion of depositary shares of Ozon. Ozon recently underwent redomiciliation from Cyprus to Russia. Applications for forced conversion can be submitted until the 31st of March 2026.  It is likely that this may be the only chance for holders of depositary shares to convert their depositary shares of Ozon into ordinary shares. If one does not participate in the current procedure the ordinary shares underlying the depositary receipts may well be liquidated for a discount once the depositary bank BNY may be able to do so. Magenta Legal recently published a video in which they explain the process. EAHCISS may organise a webinar on this topic too to help investors navigate the fairly complex procedure of forced conversion. The video by Magenta Legal can be viewed via YouTube: https://youtu.be/Xir-ZeLMeOM

Unfortunately voluntary conversion of depositary shares of Ozon has, in practice, not been possible due to a global lock that was placed on the depositary shares by the DTC in ...
