The Boards of TGC-1, PJSC OGK-2 and PJSC Mosenergo have decided to join the Gazprom Group's centralised cash flow and liquidity management system (cash pooling). The cash pooling leader is PJSC Gazprom. 

PJSC Gazprom (borrower) signed a loan agreement with TGC-1 (lender) on 13 December 2019, as well as with PJSC OGK-2 and PJSC Mosenergo (lenders) on December 19. The model of this cash pooling system also provides for conclusion of loan agreements, in which TGC-1, OGK-2 and Mosenergo will be borrowers, and Gazprom will be the lender.

The cash pooling system is a global financial management system of large holding companies. Its implementation creates an additional tool of financial support of TGC-1, OGK-2 and Mosenergo, which allow for improving their liquidity management efficiency and receiving higher interests for the provision of free cash funds.
