WIMM-BILL-DANN APPOINTS TOP INTERNATIONAL STRATEGIST TO LEAD GROUP INTEGRATION

Moscow, Russia – July 1, 2004 – Wimm-Bill-Dann Foods OJSC [NYSE: WBD] today announced the appointment of Jacques Ioffe as Deputy CEO for Strategy and Business Development. The appointment of Mr Ioffe to this newly created position reflects the company’s strategic objective of enhancing operating efficiency and management of resources through the in-depth integration of group subsidiaries.

Mr Ioffe comes to Wimm-Bill-Dann from Groupe Danone, where he headed up the Danone’s Russian operations. He was first approached by Groupe Danone in 1995 following their acquisition of the Bolshevik confectionary factory. As the Chief Executive Officer of Bolshevik, Mr Ioffe was responsible for turning the company into a fully fledged subsidiary of Danone, run to the same standards and adhering to the same quality control mechanisms and financial reporting as other Western companies.

“We have known Mr Ioffe for a number of years and we believe that he is one of those rare specialists who combine a Western MBA level education, experience of working for top Western firms and knowledge of the Russian market and food industry,” Wimm-Bill-Dann Chief Executive Sergei Plastinin said in a statement. “We believe that he is the ideal candidate to help us develop the necessary management skills, establish the clear division of responsibilities and foster the strong corporate culture needed to fully integrate the group. We hope that this will be achieved also through the creation of a corporate university.”

Mr Ioffe was born in St Petersburg, Russia, in 1946, where he graduated from the St Petersburg Politechnic Institute. He then completed an MBA at INSEAD (France), and held senior positions at McKinsey, Societe Generale and Renault in Paris. In 2003, the French government awarded Mr Ioffe the “Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur”.

“I spent a large part of my working life in France, and through my education and my versatile and demanding career I acquired a certain know-how that I would like to share with Wimm-Bill-Dann. I look forward to enhancing Wimm-Bill-Dann’s

strong corporate culture and playing a key part in the formation of a world class company, integrating all the facilities into a single professionally run holding.”

The newly appointed Deputy CEO will report directly to Sergei Plastinin.
