On 14 January 2010 an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders of Alfa Credit ADSIC was held, having a single agenda item, and namely: amendments to the Company’s Articles of Association. The said amendments are necessitated due to amendments introduced to the regulatory framework governing the ADSIC’s business operations. The Company’s new Articles of Association was duly adopted by the Shareholders; however, it was not approved by the Financial Supervision Commission. The final adoption of the amendments to the Articles of Association was deferred until a subsequent GMS.
