Minority shareholders of power-generating company TGK-2 won a ruling from the Yaroslavl Region Arbitration Court this week to invalidate decisions made at the company's 2011 annual general meeting on the election of the board of directors, a source at Prosperity Capital Management, one of the plaintiffs, told Interfax.
Investors said the company refused to accept their nominations of minority shareholder representatives to TGK-2's board of directors in spring 2011.
The board subsequently complied with a court ruling and included representatives of minority shareholders in the list of board candidates, but a day before the shareholders meeting, Kores Invest, a firm representing the of Sintez Group majority shareholders, filed a lawsuit challenging this decision.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
