reports of the General Director on core operations of the Company;
resolutions on approval of business priorities, various programmes, plans and internal documents;
resolutions on convening and holding the annual General Meeting of the Shareholders of the Company and its subsidiaries;
approval of the Company’s transactions, including related-party transactions.

We did a good job in 2015.
