The file will be sent for retrial, to the competent court, which is the Bucharest Court of Appeal, starting with the procedure of the preliminary chamber.

As we stated since the beginning of this investigation, it is our firm belief that RCS&RDS S.A., Integrasoft S.R.L. and their current and former officers have acted appropriately and in compliance with the laws.
