The main issues on the agenda of the extraordinary general meeting were a change of the company constitution, the company policy of enterprise activities, a contract of bilateral credit tranche with the CEZ  company, a. s., and a modification of limitation of transferability of registered shares issued by the company.

·         The general meeting decided to conclude an agreement of bilateral credit tranche with the CEZ  company, a. s., to optimize utilization of short-term and medium-term financial funds within the groups of REAS and CEZ, a. s.
