On July 29, Grupa Azoty S.A. received a notification on behalf of Radosław Kwaśnicki regarding the loss of control over the shares of Grupa Azoty S.A. held by entities associated with Vyacheslav Kantor. This development marks the end of the temporary management established on July 11, 2023. Crucially, this follows the publication in the Official Journal of the European Union about the sanctions imposed on Vyacheslav Kantor on April 8, 2022, and the national sanctions imposed on April 25, 2022, affecting Vyacheslav Kantor and his associated entities: Norica Holding S.a.r.l. (Luxembourg), Opansa Enterprises Limited (Cyprus), and Rainbee Holdings Limited (Cyprus), which collectively hold 19.82% of Grupa Azoty S.A.'s shares. The sanctions include the freezing of financial assets, including the shares of Grupa Azoty S.A. owned by Kantor's associated entities. This freeze has restricted all corporate and property rights of these entities as shareholders since April 25, 2022. Importantly, the termination of temporary management does not affect Grupa Azoty's operations or its relationships with trade partners in various countries.
