Clearstream Banking will resume executing instructions for the conversion of depositary receipts for Russian stocks from October 7. The company also reminded that it has extended the cancellation of commissions for transactions for the transfer of assets until December 31.

Such a measure was necessary to evade the EU sanctions and to be able to transfer the securities. Citibank, acting as an agent for DR-programs of a number of Russian issuers, this week announced the opening of books for conversion of receipts of En+, PhosAgro, Tatneft, Rostelecom, Lukoil.
