Rusneftegaz has published a preliminary calendar outlining the key events for the next fiscal year, wherein the disclosure of our consolidated financial statements on 3 April 2018 serves as the primary highlight of what promises to be a pivotal year for our company. Immediately following this announcement, our Annual General Meeting is scheduled to convene later in the same week, providing us with the opportunity to engage in discussions with our key stakeholders regarding both our immediate and long-term plans. Currently, this particular conference is expected to be held on 6 April 2018, although it is important to note that this date is subject to change. In accordance with our established practices, we shall continue to report our comprehensive quarterly production data approximately four weeks after the conclusion of each period. However, it is essential to acknowledge there may be discrepancies between the time that this information is provided to relevant parties, and when this is subsequently uploaded onto our website.
Furthermore, it should also be noted that our ability to address nonessential inquiries, including those received via email and telephone, will be constrained in the next few weeks due to the staff vacations scheduled during the Christmas and New Year period. This disruption, which is set to occur between 25 December 2017 and 9 January 2018, will affect our administrative functions exclusively, leaving our major corporate operations unaffected. Thus, it is essential to promptly forward any correspondences to us prior to this to ensure a timely response. It is, however, worth noting that all messages received during this period will be closely monitored and responded to if necessary. At the conclusion of this timeframe, we will strive to address all pending communications within one working day in conjunction with our affiliates and subsidiaries, as we collectively manage the challenges posed by this holiday. The full provisional calendar can be accessed in its entirety on our official website, and although the dates mentioned above may be subject to change at the discretion of the board, we believe that any such revisions are improbable. Should there be any queries concerning this announcement, we kindly urge those affected to submit to contact us through the usual channels at the earliest convenience. This is predominantly to guarantee a response before our capacity to do so becomes limited as a result of these vacations. We greatly appreciate your cooperation and understanding regarding this relevant topic.
