Dalliance Services Company, a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Marshall Islands (the "Offeror") and wholly owned by Sergey Solonin, the controlling shareholder and chairman of the board of directors of QIWI PLC, a company formed under the laws of Cyprus (the "Company") has made available certain financial statements of the Offeror and financial information of Mr. Solonin in connection with its tender offer (the "Offer") to purchase 10,000,000 of the Company's Class B ordinary shares having a nominal value EUR 0.0005 per share (each, a "Share," and collectively, the "Shares") and the Company's Shares represented by American Depositary Shares, each representing a Share (each an "ADS" and collectively, the "ADSs") at a price of $2.50 per Share (including Shares represented by ADSs), less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest (the "Purchase Price"). As previously disclosed, the Offer will expire at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on September 2, 2022, unless further extended in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
The Offer is being made pursuant to the tender offer materials (including an Offer to Purchase, a related Letter of Transmittal and certain other offer documents) in the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the "Tender Offer Statement") filed by Offeror and Sergey Solonin with the SEC on July 19, 2022, as amended or supplemented from time to time.
As of 6:00 PM, New York City time, on August 26, 2022, 4,803,986 Shares have been tendered pursuant to the Offer.
Concurrently with this announcement, the Offeror and Mr. Solonin will amend the Tender Offer Statement to revise the Offer to Purchase to include certain financial statements of the Offeror and financial information of Mr. Solonin. Following such amendment to the Tender Offer Statement, the disclosure in the Offer to Purchase under the heading "THE OFFER 9. Source and Amount of Funds" will read as follows:
Assuming that the Offer is fully subscribed, the aggregate purchase price for the Shares (including the Shares represented by ADSs) purchased in the Offer will be $25.0 million (or approximately $27.6 million if the Offeror avails itself of the 2% Option). Mr. Solonin has acquired considerable financial resources from the Company's initial public offering and the dividends he has received as a shareholder of the Company. We, through Mr. Solonin, have the financial resources to make the payment and expect to fund the purchase of Shares (including the Shares represented by ADSs) in the Offer and to pay the fees and expenses in connection with the Offer with available cash on hand from Mr. Solonin. As of August 5, 2022, we had deposited $20,000,000 in cash with the Depositary for payment upon completion of the Offer. Prior to the Expiration Time, Mr. Solonin will contribute additional funds to us for the purposes of paying the Purchase Price and related fees and expenses of the Offer.
The Offeror is a holding company of Mr. Solonin with no revenue and marginal assets, other than the contributions of, and loans from, Mr. Solonin. The financial statements of the Offeror set forth in Annex A to this Offer to Purchase are not audited. The Offeror has never prepared audited financial statements given its status as a wholly owned holding company of Mr. Solonin and because audited financial statements are not required under its jurisdiction of incorporation, the Marshall Islands. Accordingly, audited financial statements are not available. The Offeror and Mr. Solonin believe that the cost of conducting an audit for a holding company of Mr. Solonin's whose assets and liabilities are primarily made up of the contributions of, and loans from, Mr. Solonin would be far greater than the benefit provided to potential investors and therefor an unreasonable cost and expense to be incurred by the bidders in connection with the Offer. The annual consolidated financial statements of the Offeror set forth in Annex A to this Offer to Purchase were prepared according to the recognition and measurement principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), including all amendments to standards effective January 1, 2021. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Offeror's interim condensed financial statements set forth in Annex A to this Offer to Purchase were consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Offeror's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for the adoption of amended IFRS effective as of January 1, 2022.
As of August 12, 2022, the net worth of Mr. Solonin was in excess of $188.0 million, approximately $17.0 million of which is derived from liquid assets and approximately $172.0 million from illiquid assets. These liquid assets consist primarily of cash. Mr. Solonin's illiquid assets primarily consist of long-term equity investments, including an estimated $26.0 million worth of the Company's class A ordinary shares (based on an as converted to Shares price at the Purchase Price). Mr. Solonin does not have any contingent liabilities that are material compared to his net worth. Mr. Solonin has no liabilities that are due and payable prior to the Expiration Date, other than immaterial liabilities for which Mr. Solonin has sufficient funds to pay when due.
Additionally, following such amendment to the Tender Offer Statement, the disclosure in Annex A to the Offer to Purchase will read as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Corporate information
Country of incorporation
Dalliance Services Company, referred to herein as the 'Company', was incorporated in Marshall Islands on April 3, 2017. Its registered office is at Trust Company Complex, Ajeltake Road, Ajeltake Island, Majuro, Marshall Islands MH96960.
The principal activity of the Company is the holding of investments.
Sergey Solonin is the sole shareholder of the Company as of December 31, 2021.
The only subsidiary of the Company, Harrow Holdings Ltd, is a commercial entity formed under the laws of Seychelles and is impaired in full and is under liquidation.
2. Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared according to the recognition and measurement principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), including all amendments to standards effective January 1, 2021. The Company has not early adopted any standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for financial instruments accounted at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) and at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
The preparation of IFRS financial statements requires the use of some important accounting estimates. Areas of accounting that involve a higher degree of measurement or complexity, and areas where assumptions and estimates are material to the financial statements, are identified in Note 3.
3. Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented in these financial statements unless otherwise stated.
Investments
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists where the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Investments in subsidiary undertakings, which are held for long-term purposes, are stated at cost less any impairment in value. Where there has been impairment in value, it is recognized as an expense when the impairment is identified.
Associates and joint ventures
The Company's investment in its associate and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. An associate is an entity in which the Company has significant influence. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. unanimous consent of the parties) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
Under the equity method, the investment in the associate or joint venture is carried on the statement of financial position at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Company's share of net assets of the associate/joint venture. Goodwill relating to the associate/joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortized nor individually tested for impairment.
The statement of comprehensive income reflects the Company's share of the results of operations of the associate/joint venture. When there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the investment, the Company recognizes its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity.
The financial statements of the associates/joint ventures are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Company.
3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Other Investments
At initial recognition, an entity makes an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of an investments in an equity instruments that are not held for trading.
Revenue recognition
Revenues of the Company are obtained from license contracts, most of which are concluded with the Company's subsidiaries. These revenues generally come in the form of royalties that are calculated as percentage of the licensees' sales and hence are sales-based. The performance obligation under these license contracts is considered as satisfied over time. The revenue is recognized when the subsequent sales of the licensee occur.
In addition, revenues earned by the Company are recognised on the following bases:
- Interest income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method.
- Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
Foreign currency translation
(1) | Functional and presentation currency | |
Items included in the Company's financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The functional currency of the Company is the US Dollar (USD). The financial statements are presented in USD ($), which is the Company's presentation currency. | ||
(2) | Transactions and balances | |
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. |
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the Company's statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Investment in equity securities
At initial recognition, an entity makes an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of an investments in an equity instruments that are not held for trading.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash at banks and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less and are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of financial position and statement of cash flows.
Borrowings
Borrowings are recorded initially at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
3. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:
- the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
- The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
Financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The right of set-off must not be contingent on a future event and must be legally enforceable in all of the following circumstances: the normal course of business, the event of default, and the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity and all of the counterparties. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements, and the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the statement of financial position.
Share capital, share premium
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The difference between the fair value of the consideration received by the Company and the nominal value of the share capital being issued is taken to the share premium account.
Related parties
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial or operational decisions. In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship, not merely the legal form. Related parties may enter into transactions which unrelated parties might not, and transactions between related parties may not be affected on the same terms, conditions and amounts as transactions between unrelated parties.
4. Critical accounting estimates, judgements and assumptions
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future.
Judgments
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which had the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
- Impairment of investments in subsidiaries, joint venture and associates
Indicators of impairment include such items as declines in revenues, earnings or cash flows or material adverse changes in the economic or political stability of a particular country, which may indicate that the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable. If facts and circumstances indicate that investment in subsidiaries may be impaired, the estimated future discounted cash flows associated with these investments would be compared to their carrying amounts to determine if a write-down to fair value is necessary.
5. General and administrative expenses
Operating profit is stated after charging the following general and administrative expenses:
2021 | 2020 | ||
| |||
Consulting services | 12,105 | 3,525 | |
Assignment costs | 442,448 | ||

8. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing consolidated net profit for the year of the Company attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the consolidated net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company adjusted for the effect of any potential share exercise by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
The following reflects the income and share data used in basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the years ended December 31:
