3.   The issued share capital of EVRAZ plc as at 16 June 2016 is 1,506,527,294 ordinary shares, the current number of shares outstanding is 1,419,512,128. The Company holds 87,015,166 ordinary shares in treasury. The total number of voting rights attaching to the ordinary shares of the Company is therefore 1,419,512,128.
