The subordinated loan "Consent" was attracted on the last working day of the year, December 29, it was said in the statements. The amount of the loan was 0.9 billion rubles. The funds were provided by one of the company's participants for six years, Shumilova confirms: "This is an additional tool to increase the company's capitalization."
