Earlier, the board of directors recommended to pay 5 roubles per share (resp. 25-per-cent IAS profit for 2008, 50 per cent of 2009 profit).
Due to the contingency caused by 05/8–9 disaster, Raspadskaya managers and Evraz Group, the on-a-par owners of Corber Enterprises Ltd. owning 80 per cent of Raspadskaya stock, reconsidered the decision and would vote against paying any dividends.
