UC RUSAL receives resolution from arbitration court on suit against LUKOIL

In August 2008, UC RUSAL filed a lawsuit against LUKOIL for its disruption in the supply of raw materials. From April 2008, LUKOIL unilaterally reduced the supply of oil coke to UC RUSAL’s largest aluminium smelters by almost two times, thereby breaking its long-term contractual obligations and inhibiting the operations of UC RUSAL’s aluminium smelters. The supply agreement was signed in 2006 and is valid until 2011.
