United Company RusAl said it would hold an extraordinary shareholder meeting after a request by Sual Partners, it's third-biggest holder, with which it's in a legal dispute.
RusAl, facing an escalating shareholder conflict over RusAl management's decision to hold on to 25 percent of Norilsk Nickel, will hold the meeting on Aug. 3, the company said in a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange.
Sual, owner of a 15.8 percentstakein RusAl, wrote to the aluminum producer requesting that the board meet to consider amending or introducing a regulation to refer related party transactions to shareholders for approval. RusAl doesn't support the proposed resolutions, according to the statement.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
