The coupon rate was adequate to the market, however now it is the most expensive source of financing in the credit portfolio of JSC TGC-1, – the JSC TGC–1 Director of Economic and Financial Affairs Kirrill Lykov noticed. – Cost reduction of its service will allow to optimize the Company expenses essentially. The fixed rate of 6.7 % per annum corresponds to the modern market conditions of money resources placement. Taking into account the high level of reliability of TGC-1 we believe that the bondholders will be interested in its storage in the portfolios. But in case of presentation of bonds to redemption we will carry all our obligations by means of attraction of cheaper credit resources”.
