The Transfer took place in Almaty, Kazakhstan on January 25, 2017. Orsu transferred the Interest to Karasat and the Transfer was duly registered with the Kazakhstan authorities. The purchase price for the Interest was to be paid by Karasat after the registration of the Transfer with the Kazakhstan authorities and upon release of funds from Karasat’s bank financier.
