Cian PLC (NYSE: CIAN, MOEX: CIAN) (“Cian” or the “Company”), a leading online real estate classifieds platform in Russia, announces that, on March 28, 2023, the Company submitted a written request for a review by a Committee of the Board of Directors of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE Committee”) of the determination of the staff of the New York Stock Exchange Regulation (the “Staff”) to delist the Company’s American depositary shares, each representing one ordinary share of the Company (the “ADSs”), from New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). As previously announced, the Company received a written notice of such determination by the Staff on March 15, 2023.

Pursuant to Section 804.00 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the review by the Committee will generally be scheduled for a date that is at least 25 days from the date of the request for review. The delisting of the Company’s securities will be stayed pending the conclusion of the review process, while the trading suspension that was implemented on February 28, 2022 will remain in effect. There can be no assurance that the Committee will grant the Company’s request for continued listing on the NYSE.

We believe that the Company has been and remains in full compliance with all applicable reporting obligations and qualitative and quantitative listing criteria of the NYSE and has met all additional requests for disclosure by the NYSE since the suspension of trading on February 28, 2022.

The trading of the Company’s ADSs on the Moscow Exchange is unaffected and continues as usual.
