The company has summoned a general shareholders meeting for August 6 and proposes six capital reduction options with amounts ranging from RON229 million to RON3.07 billion.

The company’s net assets at the end of 2020 were at less than 50% of its share capital value. By law, a company is forced in this case to call a general meeting to decide whether the company should enter dissolution or find ways to remedy the situation.
