United Company Rusal Plc (the "Company”) is pleased to announce that, on 30 January 2013, it entered into a multicurrency credit facility agreement of up to USD400 million with various international banks, including ING Bank N.V. as the coordinating mandated lead arranger, and Bank of China (UK) Limited and OJSC Nordea Bank as the mandated lead arrangers, UniCredit Bank Austria AG, ZAO UniCredit Bank, Raiffeisen Bank International AG and Société Générale as the senior lead arrangers (the "Facility”).
