The London Stock Exchange is delighted to welcome you to the fourth round of the Russian Regional Roadshows 2008. Over the past five years we have held a number of successful regional events in Ekaterinburg (2004), St Petersburg (2005), Krasnodar (2006) and Novosibirsk (2006). The Russian Regional Roadshow 2008 kicked off in June in Novosibirsk and this September we are taking it to Ekaterinburg and Perm.

The purpose of the upcoming roadshow is to showcase the regions' key investment projects and give local companies access to the UK investors and advisors taking part in the event.

The $3.6 billion raised in IPOs on the London Stock Exchange by regional companies such as MMK, TMK, Chelyabisk Zink, OMZ and Uralkali shows that there is already considerable interest in the area from the UK investor community.

Both endeavours are closely supported by the local administration in Ekaterinburg and Perm and the Lord Mayor of the City of London.

We look forward to seeing you in September.
