IOC officially states that the information about the alleged planned lay-off of 4,500 employees, as well as the "merger and sale of the business" due to the company's difficult financial situation, which appeared on a number of social networks and Internet sources, is not true and is fake.

In connection with the successful completion of the construction phase of one of the largest investment projects in Russia in recent years, the size of the team is being adjusted. This is due to natural staff turnover and the planned completion of project work by employees.

IOC intends to protect the business reputation and interests of its employees in accordance with the law and is preparing materials for submission to judicial and law enforcement authorities. IOC urges everyone to trust only official information published on the corporate website and in official Russian media.

IOC refutes fake news about the lay-off of 4,500 employees and the "sale of the business"
