In respect of RUSALs statements through the public media we find it necessary to convey the following: Interros is satisfied with the results of the Annual General Meeting of shareholders of MMC Norilsk Nickel. The meeting was conducted in strict conformity with the requirements of the law and statutory norms of the Company. In this regard Interros does not see any justification for the termination of the elected Board of Directors and revision of the outcome of the meeting of the shareholders. The recently unleashed campaign to discredit Norilsk Nickel and its shareholders is totally unacceptable.
