Dear Ryan and all,

Since we’ve conducted Burisma Holdings’ very first meeting, I believe that
it is extremely important to send  a clear signal to investors and public
opinion that the Company is continuously building a transparent and
effective corporate governance structure and is being open about it.

Best regarards, vadym
