Rosbank Shareholders to Approve New BoD

The Rosbank general shareholders meeting reviewed the results of the bank’s activity in 2007, approved the annual report and accounts as of January 1, 2008 as well as the profit and loss account for the 2007 financial year.

In 2007, Rosbank assets, calculated in compliance to IFRS standards, soared 39% up to RUR 408.1 bln. with credit portfolio showing highest growth rate of 44,8%. The expense ratio continued to decrease in 2007 reaching 55.2% while the net profit grew by 61.5% to RUR 6.2 bln. For Rosbank, the past year was rich in events. First of all, I would like to express my satisfaction with the successful completion of the strategic transaction with Societe Generale. It showed that the strategy we had chosen for the development of Rosbank helped it to attain a leading position on the Russian banking market. This transaction is the evidence of the recognition of the high potential of Russian leading banks by international financial institutions, said Andrey Klishas, Chairman of the BoD of Rosbank.

In order to finance the bank’s ongoing development, the shareholders have decided not to pay dividends for 2007.
