The oil company "Oil Resource", a member of Kirillitsa Group of Companies, has been recognized as the winner of the prestigious annual Cbonds Awards in the nomination "The Best High-Yield Primary Placement Transaction".

The award ceremony took place on December 5 in St. Petersburg following the results of the 23rd Russian Bond Congress. Igor Korenev, Financial Director of Kirillitsa Group of Companies, received the award on behalf of the company.

The nomination was won by the successful placement in March 2025 of exchange-traded bonds of the 001P-01 series in the amount of 2.5 billion rubles organized by Finam IC. The period of circulation of the bonds is 5 years, the coupon rate was set at 33% per annum with monthly income payment.
