The Russian government has signed a directive to vote with the state-owned interest (52.67%) in UES at an October 26 EGM, a source close to the Cabinet told Interfax. "The directive instructs Alexander Voloshin, UES board chairman, to vote for the reorganization" – the same source said. Voloshin traditionally votes with the state-controlled interest in UES at shareholder meetings. "After Voloshin receives the instructions he will complete ballot sheets and forward them to Status, a registrar" – the news agency wired. The accepting deadline for the votes cast on the completion of UES' restructuring is 6 p.m. Friday. If the affirmative decision is taken, the energy holding will cease to exist as of July 1, 2008.
