The intention of undertaking the de-merger is to streamline the operational and capital structures of OJSC SUEK and the power generation business.
Upon completion of the de-merger, OJSC SUEK's power assets will belong to Siberian Energy Investments Ltd. - a holding company in which a controlling stake will be directly owned by OJSC SUEK's major shareholder, Donalink Ltd. - and OJSC SUEK's business will be fully focused on the production of coal.
OJSC SUEK will announce the details of the de-merger upon the completion of the process, which is expected to be by the end of Q2 2011.
