Changes at the level of EuroChem AG
Changes at the level of EuroChem AG
It seems that, at some point in late 2022 or early 2023 (but probably on or shortly after 16 December 2022), the 10% shareholding in EuroChem AG that had been held by MCC EuroChem was transferred back to EuroChem AG. This took place in the context of a series of other group structural changes going well beyond the ownership merely of the two Claimants, i.e. EuroChem NW2 and EuroChem AG (and, therefore, not apparent from Appendix 1). I discuss these other group structural changes in Section XVII below.
