Exhibit 99.1

Yandex submitted a delisting appeal

Moscow, Amsterdam, March 21, 2023 – As previously disclosed, on March 15, 2023, Yandex N.V. (“Yandex”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Staff had determined that the Company’s securities will be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market.

On March 21, 2023, Yandex submitted a request for a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel to appeal the Staff’s determination. Pursuant to Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, a hearing will be held, to the extent practicable, within 45 days of such request. In the meantime, the delisting will be stayed, while the trading halt that was implemented on February 28, 2022, will remain in effect.

The trading of Yandex N.V.’s Class A shares on the Moscow Exchange is unaffected and continues as usual.
