Company’s HistoryOpen joint-stock company "Interregional Distributive Grid Company of Urals" was incorporated on February 28, 2005 in Ekaterinburg (the Urals) in the course of the Russian energy sector reforms following differentiation of companies which produce, transfer, distribute and sale electric and heat energy as well as operating dispatcher management into separate business units. Main variant of the Russian distributive grid complex reform supposed the creation of interregional distributive grid companies (IDGCs) as well as interregional integration of regional distributive companies in IDGCs within the united energy systems. According to the first IDGCs configuration, with a view to effective operation, development and reliability of the distributive complex within the united energy systems of the Urals and Middle Volga, the company included (till August 2007 our Company name was ÎÀÎ "IDGC of Urals and Volga") 15 DGCs - regional discos: ÎÀÎ "Kirovenergo", ÎÀÎ "Kurganenergo", ÎÀÎ "Marienergo", ÎÀÎ "Mordovenergo", ÎÀÎ "Orenburgenergo", ÎÀÎ "Permenergo", ÎÀÎ "Penzaenergo", ÎÀÎ "Samara distributive company", ÎÀÎ "Saratov distributive company", ÎÀÎ "Sverdlovenergo", ÎÀÎ "Tyumenenergo", ÎÀÎ "Udmurtenergo", ÎÀÎ "Ulyanovsk distributive company", ÎÀÎ "Chelyabenergo" and ÎÀÎ "Chuvashenergo". The second IDGC configuration was formed in compliance with territorial contingency and corresponding balance cost of DGC's assets which comprised the corresponding IDGCs. According to the configuration OÀÎ "IDGC of Urals" included: ÎÀÎ "Sverdlovenergo", ÎÀÎ "Chelyabenergo", ÎÀÎ «Permenergo» and ÎÀÎ "Kurganenergo". In August 2007 due to the changes in IDGC configuration amendments were made into our foundation documents, and the company received its new name - Open joint-stock "Interregional Distributive Grid Company of Urals" (OAO "IDGC of Urals" for short). In December 2007 Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia approved our reorganization in the form of the merger of ÎÀÎ "Sverdlovenergo", ÎÀÎ "Chelyabenergo", ÎÀÎ «Permenergo» and ÎÀÎ "Kurganenergo". Also in December 2007, to convert the shares of the merged companies, the EGM of OAO "IDGC of Urals" made a decision to increase the Company's charter capital by issuing common shares. These shares were placed by converting of the merged companies shares into them. In January 2008 the EGMs of ÎÀÎ "Sverdlovenergo", ÎÀÎ "Chelyabenergo", ÎÀÎ «Permenergo» made decisions to be reorganized in the form of the merger and also approved the merger agreement as well as the transfer act. In relation to ÎÀÎ "Kurganenergo", which is also in the Company's service area, by virtue of the fact that Kurganenergo shareholders did not approve the merger, OAO "IDGC of Urals" was formed as a holding company. The reform process ended on April 30, 2008 by introducing to United State Register of Legal Entities information on discontinuation of activities of OAO "Sverdlovenergo", ÎÀÎ "Chelyabenergo", ÎÀÎ «Permenergo» as a result of the merger into OAO "IDGC of Urals".
