ANNUAL REPORT 2011 Chairman’s 7 Statement UC RUSAL – During the past two years, the Company has reduced its debt level by almost a third. While the current level is still regarded as high, it is comfortably within UC RUSAL’s servicing capability. Furthermore, our completion of the refinancing of the Company’s debt portfolio with an extended maturity profile and reduced interest margins will allow for greater operational and financial flexibility. – The Company’s investor base has widened considerably. The launch of the RDR programme attracted a large number of Russian investors. It is also notable that UC RUSAL has been included in five stock market indices, in Hong Kong, Paris, and Moscow. As a result, the Company’s share liquidity has risen significantly as well. – To reward employees who contribute to the achievement of the Company’s performance indicators and strategic goals, and in order to more closely align employees’ interests with those of the shareholders’, in May 2011, the Board implemented a DEAR SHAREHOLDERS, long-term share incentive plan for high performing employees.

    Global Expansion of Russian Multinationals after the Crisis: Results of 2011 Report dated April 16, 2013 Moscow and New York, April 16, 2013 The Institute of World Economy and International Relations (IMEMO) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, and the Vale Columbia Center on Sustainable International Investment (VCC), a joint center of Columbia Law School and the Earth Institute at Columbia University in New York, are releasing the results of their third survey of Russian multinationals today.1 The survey, conducted from November 2012 to February 2013, is part of a long-term study of the global expansion of emerging market non-financial multinational enterprises (MNEs).2 The present report covers the period 2009-2011. Highlights Russia is one of the leading emerging markets in terms of outward foreign direct investments (FDI). Such a position is supported not by several multinational giants but by dozens of Russian MNEs in various industries. Foreign assets of the top 20 Russian non-financial MNEs grew every year covered by this report and reached US$ 111 billion at the end of 2011 (Table 1). Large Russian exporters usually use FDI in support of their foreign activities. As a result, oil and gas and steel companies with considerable exports are among the leading Russian MNEs. However, representatives of other industries also have significant foreign assets. Many companies remained “regional” MNEs. As a result, more than 66% of the ranked companies’ foreign assets were in Europe and Central Asia, with 28% in former republics of the Soviet Union (Annex table 2). Due to the popularity of off-shore jurisdictions to Russian MNEs, some Caribbean islands and Cyprus attracted many Russian subsidiaries with low levels of foreign assets.

  • International Arbitration Legal Bulletin
    INTERNATIONAL LEGAL BULLETIN FOCUS ON ARBITRATION JULY 2016 CONTENTS The Setting Aside of the Russia/Yukos Awards by the District The Setting Aside of the Russia/ Court in The Hague: What Is the Role of the Courts? Yukos Awards by the District Court in The Hague: What Is the Role of the Courts? . 1 It is not often that $50-billion arbitration awards are issued. So it is understandable why the global arbitral community was awaiting the U .S Courts Using Local “Rules of Procedure” as a Stopper to decision of The Hague District Court in The Russian Federation v. Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards Unleashing International Veteran Petroleum Limited, The Russian Federation v. Yukos Universal Criticism: Founded or Not? . 3 Limited, and The Russian Federation v. Hulley Enterprises Limited Miami’s International Commercial (“Yukos”). On April 20, the wait ended. The District Court quashed Arbitration Court: What It Is and How to Get There . 6 the three awards totaling nearly $50 billion, holding that Russia never agreed to arbitrate disputes under the Energy Charter Treaty (“ECT”) . How did the District Court reach this conclusion? Russia had, after all, signed the ECT in 1994. While it terminated provisional application of the ECT in 2009, under the ECT’s terms, investments made before this date were still subject to investor-State arbitration of expropriation disputes. Once it became a signatory, Article 45(1) of the ECT made the ECT provisionally applicable to Russia unless provisional application of the ECT was inconsistent with Russia’s constitution, laws, or regulations. Russia could have submitted a declaration at the time of execution under Article 45(2) of the ECT that it was not able to accept provisional application of the ECT pending entry into force of the ECT, but it did not do so--unlike several other countries which had submitted such declarations.
