Item 1.
Security and Issuer.
 
This Amendment No. 9 (this “Amendment No. 9”) amends the Statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 18, 2001 by the Reporting Persons, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 17, 2003, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 21, 2003, Amendment No. 3 thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 21, 2004, Amendment No. 4 thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 18, 2005, Amendment No. 5 thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2006, Amendment No. 6 thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 28, 2007, Amendment No. 7 thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 18, 2010 and Amendment No. 8 thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 12, 2010 (such Statements as so amended, being the “Schedule 13D”).  This Amendment No. 9 is filed with respect to the ordinary shares, par value 20 Russian Rubles per ordinary share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of Wimm-Bill-Dann Foods OJSC, a joint stock company organized under the laws of the Russian Federation (the “Issuer”), having its principal executive offices at 16/15 Yauzsky Boulevard, Moscow 10928, Russian Federation.  The Ordinary Shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange through an American Depositary Share facility in which four American Depositary Shares of the Issuer (the “American Depositary Shares” or “ADSs”) represent one Ordinary Share.  Each reference in this Statement to Ordinary Shares refers also (where applicable) to the corresponding American Depositary Shares representing such Ordinary Shares.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.  Information in the Schedule 13D remains in effect except to the extent it is amended by the information contained in this Amendment No. 9.  This Amendment No. 9 is a final amendment to the Schedule 13D and constitutes an “exit” filing with respect to the Schedule 13D by the Reporting Persons.
