Disclaimer
The information contained on this Site or received by you in another format (the “Communication”) has been prepared by Renaissance Group and, except as otherwise specified therein, is communicated by Renaissance Group which is the brand name for the subsidiaries and affiliates of Renaissance Holdings Management Limited. The research reports available on this Site have been prepared by and, except as otherwise specified therein, are communicated by Renaissance Securities (Cyprus) Limited, regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, and an indirect subsidiary of Renaissance Capital Holdings Limited and, together with other subsidiaries, operates under the brand name of Renaissance Capital (for contact details see Bloomberg page RENA, or contact the relevant office). Renaissance Capital is an investment bank offering multiple activities such as mergers & acquisitions advice, corporate finance, and principal trading. Renaissance Capital is not a credit institution licensed to accept deposits or other repayable funds from the public or to engage in any other business which is classified as banking business under Russian law.
The Communication does not form a fiduciary relationship or constitute advice and is not and should not be construed as an offer or a solicitation of an offer of securities or related financial instruments, or an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity, and cannot be relied upon as a representation that any particular transaction necessarily could have been or can be effected at the stated price. The Communication is not an advertisement of securities nor independent investment research, and has not been prepared in accordance with legal requirements designed to promote the independence of investment research and is not subject to any prohibition on dealing ahead of the dissemination of investment research. Opinions expressed therein may differ or be contrary to opinions expressed by other business areas or groups of the Renaissance Group as a result of using different assumptions and criteria. The Communication is for information purposes only. All such information and opinions are subject to change without notice, and neither Renaissance Group nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is under any obligation to update or keep current the information contained therein or in any other medium.
Descriptions of any company or companies or their securities or the markets or developments mentioned therein are not intended to be complete. The Communication should not be regarded by recipients as a substitute for the exercise of their own judgment as the Communication has no regard to the specific investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs of any specific recipient. The application of taxation laws depends on an investor’s individual circumstances and, accordingly, each investor should seek independent professional advice on taxation implications before making any investment decision. The information and opinions therein have been compiled or arrived at based on information obtained from sources believed to be reliable and in good faith. Such information has not been independently verified, is provided on an ‘as is’ basis and no representation or warranty, either expressed or implied, is provided in relation to the accuracy, completeness, reliability, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose of such information and opinions, except with respect to information concerning Renaissance Group, its subsidiaries and affiliates. All statements of opinion and all projections, forecasts, or statements relating to expectations regarding future events or the possible future performance of investments represent Renaissance Group’s own assessment and interpretation of information available to them currently.
The securities described therein may not be eligible for sale in all jurisdictions or to certain categories of investors. Options, derivative products and futures are not suitable for all investors and trading in these instruments is considered risky. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The value of investments may fall as well as rise and the investor may not get back the amount initially invested. Some investments may not be readily realisable since the market in the securities is illiquid or there is no secondary market for the investor’s interest and therefore valuing the investment and identifying the risk to which the investor is exposed may be difficult to quantify. Investments in illiquid securities involve a high degree of risk and are suitable only for sophisticated investors who can tolerate such risk and do not require an investment easily and quickly converted into cash. Foreign-currency-denominated securities are subject to fluctuations in exchange rates that could have an adverse effect on the value or the price of, or income derived from, the investment. Other risk factors affecting the price, value or income of an investment include but are not necessarily limited to political risks, economic risks, credit risks, and market risks. Investing in emerging markets such as Russia, other CIS, African or Asian countries and emerging markets securities involves a high degree of risk and investors should perform their own due diligence before investing.
Renaissance Group and its affiliates, their directors, representatives, employees (excluding the US broker-dealer unless specifically disclosed), or clients may have or have had interests in issuers described therein or long or short positions in any of the securities mentioned therein or other related financial instruments at any time and may make a purchase and/or sale, or offer to make a purchase and/or sale, of any such securities or other financial instruments from time to time in the open market or otherwise, in each case as principals or as agents. Renaissance Group and its affiliates (excluding the US broker-dealer unless specifically disclosed) may act or have acted as market maker in the securities or other financial instruments described therein, or in securities underlying or related to such securities. Employees of Renaissance Group or its affiliates may serve or have served as officers or directors of the relevant companies. Renaissance Group and its affiliates may have or have had a relationship with or provide or have provided investment banking, capital markets, advisory, investment management, and/or other financial services to the relevant companies, and has established and maintains information barriers, such as ‘Chinese Walls’, to control the flow of information contained in one or more areas within the Renaissance Group, into other areas, units, groups or affiliates of the Renaissance Group. Renaissance Group maintains a conflicts of interest policy designed to prevent exploitation for either corporate or personal benefit, and ensure that the different business activities of Renaissance Group do not constitute or give rise to material damage to client interests.
