Property of JSC Azertekrarqarametal (Azervtorchermet) will be laid under mortgage to get a bank loan. The decision was taken at the initiative of LLC Baku Steel Company (BSC), the major shareholder of the company, at the August 25 general meeting of shareholders.
Minority shareholders argue that the general meeting of the board JSC did not inform them of the reasons for making such an important decision. They also were not provided the information about the size and maturity of the loan, the form of its use, and so on. The meeting completed in minutes, and for the decision voted only the representative of LLC Baku Steel Company.
BSC implements in Azerbaijan and abroad several projects in the field of ferrous metallurgy. The company owns over 97% stake in JSC Azerboru. It also controls JSC Baku Steel Construction (formerly JSC Baki Poladtokme) and LLC Khazarboru.
