  • Brown Rudnick Alert: Responding To Market Disruption, OFAC Issues New & Updated General Licenses For RUSAL, As Existing Wind-Down And Divestment Deadlines Approach

    Date 24/04/2018

    Highlights: 

    • OFAC’s latest wave of Russian sanctions, which require the blocking of several Russian companies and individuals, are having significant impacts across a number of economic sectors. OFAC anticipated some of these impacts and issued two General Licenses to soften the immediate blow on the global economy, but both of these measures will expire soon.
    • Because of the turmoil in the aluminum market, OFAC has now issued an additional General License (14) to authorize U.S. persons to engage in a narrow set of transactions related to winding down or maintaining business with United Company RUSAL PLC (RUSAL) and its subsidiaries.
    • General License 13, issued on April 6, 2018 and which allows U.S. persons to divest holdings in certain SDNs, expires in two weeks, on May 7, 2018.
    • OFAC has also issued updated General License 12A, which allows U.S. persons to engage in winding-down activities with the newly designated SDNs, and reflects the authorizations in General License 14. General License 12A is still due to expire on June 5, 2018.
    • OFAC’s move to relax the prohibitions on the winding down period for RUSAL demonstrates that when a proposed or new sanctions measure has an outsize collateral impact outside of the target company or country, OFAC will take measures to provide companies affected by the sanctions measures some limited respite.
