Is there a wind-down period for transactions under the U.S. and U.K. sanctions?

There is a wind-down period until August 13, 2024, during which clients can divest (close out) to non-U.S. persons non-sanctioned Russian securities traded on MOEX or cleared through the NCC/NSD.  Starting August 13, non-sanctioned Russian securities will be fully restricted and you will not be able to trade or transfer your positions. 

Under the pre-existing EU sanctions, EU persons are prohibited from engaging in any transactions in these securities.
