The address, phone numbers, bank details and other corporate details (except for the business name) remain unchanged. The change of the business name does not require changes in documents of title and other documents containing the previous business name. Thus, powers of attorney that were earlier issued by OJSC MMK to its representatives remain in force until their respective expiration dates.
