The two positions have been vacant since the end of 2011, when the representatives of insurers Platinum and Astra resigned from the Board.

Toma, who owns over 99% of Platinum, left Omniasig in June 2011.

Adamescu is vice-president of the Supervision Council of insurer Astra Asigurari, leader on the local insurance market. If he gets the nod of insurance regulator CSA, Adamescu will take over the position of president of the Board of Astra Asigurari to replace Radu Mustatea, whose term expired at the beginning of the year.

Mustatea resigned from the position of PAID vice-president in November 2011.
