RE: PROHIBITION ON TRANSFER OF SECURITIES20 Jul 2022 08:38
Thanks Professor1 but I’m still not convinced with this.
POG haven’t transferred any securities.
It was GPB that transferred the securities to UMMC.
POG didn’t request it.
GPB are a Russian company as are UMMC so I fail to see how any UK sanctions will have a bearing on that. We literally can’t ban a Russian company from doing business with another Russian company.
Also, UMMC are looking to take subsidiaries to court, in Russia, to file for bankruptcy and force an asset sale. These subsidiary companies are also Russian companies, they are not UK companies. So again I fail to see how we can stop that process.
It is only the PLC that is deemed a UK company.
