At the same time, Tatianin pecified that in this case there is no question of any repurchase program. "The decision (on buyback) was adopted by the Board of Directors, this is a one-time solution based on the current situation," – said the senior vice president. He also said that as part of the Board a committee, which monitors the results of the shares buyback on a regular basis, was established. Depending on changes in the financial situation, the buyback, according to Tatianin, may be revoked.
