For depositors of Freedom Finance Ukraine: NSSMC grants the possibility to restructure public debt

On 1 October 2024, the NSSMC approved Resolution No. 1217, which amended NSSMC Resolution No. 1332 dated 9 November 2022.

The Resolution was issued based on an appeal by Oleksandr Bondarchuk, interim CEO of Freedom Finance Ukraine LLC. It addresses issues related to ensuring that depositors can participate in corporate events concerning transactions with government debt. In particular, it enables holders of government bonds to exercise their rights through a depository institution.

Importantly, the participation of depositors of Freedom Finance Ukraine LLC in these corporate events does not alter or violate sanctions restrictions, nor does it result in a change in the ownership of government bonds.

The adoption of this Resolution is a clear example of effective cooperation with the interim manager. Without the introduction of the interim management role, the NSSMC would not have been able to assist depositors in resolving the situation regarding the restructuring of public debt.
