UC RUSAL's position on Norilsk Nickel's decision

The decision of Norilsk Nickel about directing the cash of its subsidiaries to buy back Norilsk Nickel’s shares is a serious violation of corporate governance principles and minority shareholders rights.  Using the imperfections of the Russian legislation and its uncontrolled power over Norilsk Nickel Vladimir Potanin as the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Vladimir Strzhalkovsky, CEO of Norilsk Nickel appointed by Vladimir Potanin, again demonstrated their absolute unwillingness to take into account the interests of other shareholders and eagerness to violate principles of corporate governance to retain full control over the company.  This looks even more cynical given the fact that Vladimir Potanin is the Chairman of the National Council for Corporate Governance in Russia.
