Public Joint Stock Company Gazprom
EUR1,000,000,000 Perpetual Callable Loan Participation Notes
issued by, but with limited recourse to, Gaz Finance Plc
(11th Floor, 200 Aldersgate Street, London, EC1A 4HD, United Kingdom and the company number 12185355)
for the purpose of financing a loan to Public Joint Stock Company Gazprom
Issued as Series 5 under the 30,000,000,000 Programme for the Issuance of Loan Participation Notes
Issue Price: 100 per cent.
Under the Programme for the Issuance of Loan Participation Notes (the "Programme") described in a Base Prospectus dated October 6, 2020 (the "Base
Prospectus") and which is incorporated by reference herein, Gaz Finance Plc (the "Issuer"), subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and
directives, may from time to time issue loan participation notes on the terms set out in the Base Prospectus, as completed by final terms or a series prospectus
setting out the specific terms of each issue. The aggregate principal amount of notes outstanding under the Programme will not at any time exceed
30,000,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies). This series prospectus (the "Series Prospectus") is the Series Prospectus applicable to the issue by
the Issuer of Series 5 EUR1,000,000,000 Perpetual Callable Loan Participation Notes (the "Notes").
The sole purpose of issuing the Notes will be to finance a subordinated loan (the "Loan") to Public Joint Stock Company Gazprom ("Gazprom" or "Borrower")
on the terms of an amended and restated facility agreement dated December 26, 2019 (the "Facility Agreement"), as amended and supplemented by a loan
supplement dated October 22, 2020 (the "Loan Supplement" and, together with the Facility Agreement, the "Loan Agreement"), each between the Issuer and
Gazprom. Subject as provided in the Trust Deed (as defined herein) the Issuer will charge by way of first fixed charge as security for its payment obligations in
respect of the Notes and under the Trust Deed, certain of its rights and interests as lender under the Loan Agreement to Citibank, N.A., London Branch as trustee
(the "Trustee"), for the benefit of the holders of the Notes (the "Noteholders") and will assign its administrative rights under the Loan Agreement to the Trustee
(the "Assigned Rights"), as more particularly set out herein and in the Trust Deed. See "Overview of the Transaction".
In each case where amounts of principal, interest, any applicable Deferred Interest Payment (as defined below) and additional amounts (if any) are stated to be
payable in respect of the Notes, the obligation of the Issuer to make any such payment constitutes an obligation only to account to the Noteholders, on each date
upon which such amounts of principal, interest, any applicable Deferred Interest Payment and additional amounts (if any) are due in respect of the Notes, for an
amount equivalent to all principal, interest, any applicable Deferred Interest Payment and additional amounts (if any) actually received by or for the account of the
Issuer pursuant to the Loan Agreement excluding, however, any amounts paid in respect of Reserved Rights (as defined in the Trust Deed). Noteholders will be
deemed to have accepted and agreed that they will be relying solely on the credit and financial standing of the Borrower in respect of the payment obligations of
the Issuer under the Notes.
AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 3 HEREIN AND ON
PAGES 7-37 OF THE BASE PROSPECTUS.
IF AN INSOLVENCY EVENT (AS DEFINED IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT) OCCURS ALL RIGHTS AND CLAIMS OF THE ISSUER IN
RESPECT OF THE RELEVANT OBLIGATIONS (AS DEFINED IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT) WILL BE EXTINGUISHED. UPON ANY SUCH
EXTINGUISHMENT, THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE ISSUER WITH RESPECT TO THE TRUSTEE AND THE NOTEHOLDERS IN RESPECT OF
THE NOTES SHALL BE SATISFIED, NO FURTHER AMOUNTS SHALL BE PAYABLE IN RESPECT THEREOF AND THE TRUSTEE SHALL
HAVE NO FURTHER OBLIGATIONS IN RESPECT THEREOF AND, ACCORDINGLY, NOTEHOLDERS MAY NOT TAKE ANY ACTION
AGAINST THE TRUSTEE, THE ISSUER, GAZPROM OR ANY OTHER PERSON TO RECOVER ANY SUCH SUM OR ASSET IN RESPECT OF
THE NOTES OR THE LOAN. ACCORDINGLY, NOTEHOLDERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY LOSE THEIR ENTIRE
INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES. IN ADDITION, THE PAYMENT OF ALL OR ANY PART OF THE INTEREST ON THE LOAN WHICH IS
OTHERWISE SCHEDULED TO BE PAID ON AN INTEREST PAYMENT DATE MAY BE DEFERRED BY GAZPROM AT ITS DISCRETION IN
ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE 4.6 (OPTIONAL DEFERRAL OF INTEREST PAYMENTS) OF THE FACILITY AGREEMENT (AS AMENDED
BY THE LOAN SUPPLEMENT). PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD HAVE REGARD TO THE RISK FACTORS IN THIS SERIES
PROSPECTUS ENTITLED "GAZPROM HAS THE RIGHT TO DEFER INTEREST AMOUNTS UNDER THE LOAN" AND "NOTEHOLDERS
WILL HAVE NO RIGHTS OR CLAIMS AGAINST THE TRUSTEE, THE ISSUER OR GAZPROM UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN
INSOLVENCY EVENT" ON PAGE 3.
The Notes and the Loan (together, the "Securities") have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and,
subject to certain exceptions, may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S
under the Securities Act). The Notes may be offered and sold (i) within the United States to qualified institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A under the
Securities Act ("Rule 144A")) that are also qualified purchasers as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"Investment Company Act") in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A (the "Rule 144A Notes"); and (ii) to certain persons in
offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act (the "Regulation S Notes"). The Issuer has not been and will not be registered under the
Investment Company Act. Prospective purchasers are hereby notified that sellers of the Notes may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of
the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. For a description of these and certain further restrictions, see "Subscription and Sale" and "Transfer Restrictions" as set
out in the Base Prospectus.
The Notes are provisionally rated BB+ by Fitch Ratings CIS Ltd. ("Fitch"), Ba1 by Moody's Investors Service Ltd. ("Moody's") and BB by S&P Global Ratings
Europe Limited ("S&P"). A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time
by the assigning rating agency. The Notes are expected to receive 50 per cent. "equity credit" from each of Fitch and Moody's and intermediate equity content
from S&P upon issuance. Each of Fitch and Moody's is established in the United Kingdom and registered under Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009. S&P is
established in the EU and registered under Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009.
This Series Prospectus has been approved by the Central Bank of Ireland (the "Central Bank") as competent authority under the Prospectus Regulation as a
prospectus issued in compliance with the Prospectus Regulation. The Central Bank only approves this Series Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness,
comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the Prospectus Regulation. Such an approval should not be considered as an endorsement of the Issuer that is the
subject of the Series Prospectus nor as an endorsement of the quality of the Notes. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in the
Notes. Application has been made to the Irish Stock Exchange plc trading as Euronext Dublin ("Euronext Dublin") for the Notes to be admitted to its official list
and trading on its regulated market which is a regulated market for the purposes of MiFID II. This Series Prospectus is valid for 12 months from its date. The
obligation to supplement this Series Prospectus in the event of a significant new factor, material mistake or material inaccuracy does not apply, once the Notes are
admitted to the official list and trading on the regulated market.
The Regulation S Notes and the Rule 144A Notes will be offered and sold in the denominations set out herein. The Regulation S Notes will initially be represented
by a global Note in registered form (the "Regulation S Global Note"), without interest coupons, which will be deposited with a common depositary for, and
registered in the name of a common nominee of, Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme ("Clearstream,
Luxembourg") on 26 October, 2020 (the "Closing Date"). Beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note will be shown on, and transfers thereof will be
effected only through records maintained by, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg. The Rule 144A Notes will initially be represented by a global Note in
registered form (the "Rule 144A Global Note" and together with the Regulation S Global Note, the "Global Notes"), without interest coupons, which will be



deposited with a common depositary for, and registered in the name of a common nominee of, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg on the Closing Date.
Beneficial interests in the Rule 144A Global Note will be shown on, and transfers thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by, Euroclear or
Clearstream, Luxembourg. Individual definitive Notes in registered form will only be available in certain limited circumstances as described in the Base Prospectus.
Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the
target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II, and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to
eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should
take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target
market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution
channels.
The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and, should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the
European Economic Area ("EEA") or in the United Kingdom (the "UK"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail
client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II, or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended or superseded, the
"Insurance Distribution Directive", where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II.
Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or
otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them
available to any retail investor in the EEA or in the UK may be unlawful.
In respect of any Interest Period from (and including) the First Reset Date (each, as defined in the Loan Agreement), interest payable under the Notes shall be
calculated by reference to the mid-swap rate for euro swaps with a term of five years which appears at the relevant time on the Reuters screen "ICESWAP2", which
is provided by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited or by reference to EURIBOR, which is provided by the European Money Markets Institute. As at the date of
this Prospectus, ICE Benchmark Administration Limited and the European Money Markets Institute each appear on the register of administrators and benchmarks
established and maintained by the European Securities and Markets Authority pursuant to Article 36 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 (the "Benchmarks
Regulation").

OVERVIEW OF THE TRANSACTION
The following overview contains basic information about the Notes and the Loan. This overview must be read as an
introduction to this Series Prospectus and any decision to invest in the Notes should be based on a consideration of
this Series Prospectus as a whole.
The transaction will be structured as the Loan to the Borrower by the Issuer acting as lender. The Issuer will issue
the Notes to Noteholders for the sole purpose of funding the Loan. The Notes will be constituted by a supplemental
trust deed to be dated on or about the Closing Date and entered into between the Issuer and the Trustee which is
supplemental to a principal trust deed dated December 26, 2019 as amended (together, the "Trust Deed"), each
entered into between the Issuer and Citibank, N.A., London Branch (the "Trustee").
Pursuant to the Trust Deed, the Issuer will charge as security its rights and interests under the Loan (other than
certain Reserved Rights, as defined in the Trust Deed) to the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and assign
its administrative rights under the Loan Agreement to the Trustee as security for its payment obligations in respect
of the Notes and the Trust Deed. Such security, together with the security in respect of the Account (as defined
below), is referred to in this Prospectus as the "Security Interests".
As a consequence of the assignment of the administrative rights under the Loan Agreement, the Trustee shall
assume the administrative rights of the Issuer as set out in the relevant provisions of the Trust Deed. If and when
the charge of certain of the Issuer's rights and interests under the Loan is enforced, the Trustee will assume the
rights of the Issuer under the Loan, as set out in the relevant provisions of the Trust Deed, and the Trustee will
assume certain rights and obligations towards the Noteholders, as more fully set out in the Trust Deed.
The payment obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Agreement in respect of the principal of, and interest on,
the Loan, any applicable Deferred Interest Payment (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and additional amounts (if
any) (the "Relevant Obligations") constitute direct, unsecured, conditional and subordinated obligations of the
Borrower and rank as described in clause 5.1 (Subordination) of the Loan Supplement. In particular, the Relevant
Obligations rank (i) junior to all obligations of the Borrower, excluding the rights and claims against the Borrower
of the holders of any Parity Securities (as defined in Loan Agreement) and/or any Junior Securities (as defined in

Agreement.
Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, any Deferred Interest Payment shall itself bear interest (such further interest,
together with each Deferred Interest Payment, being "Arrears of Interest"), at the Rate of Interest prevailing
from time to time, from (and including) the date on which (but for such deferral) the Deferred Interest Payment
